As soon as the places were decided, I had the thought of starting against Bradford. 

Think it happened a little while ago?

Never played them first game in my lifetime, but you might be thinking of Sep 2016 when they came here with 4k fans a couple of months after joining us from Bradford.  Every time one of our defenders booted the ball they gave it "whoosh".

That may well be the time.

Certainly a good number.

Didy realise it was in the September though- thought it was earlier.

Huddersfield at home

shades of 92/93

I remember going, 15 year old, with my dad

he took us in some pub before the game, cannot remember which, but what i do recall is it was fairly busy

then some lad ran in and shouted "loads of Huddersfield just got off at the station" and everyone ran out in a hurry to meet them

Looking forward to Bradford as an away day. Not arsed who and when the fixtures play out. Schueys boys will have the league trembling this year. Bring it on.

last  time I went there was the Sunday 12pm kick off in 98/99

got there at about 10am

didn't think we'd find anywhere for a beer, just wondering around, then stumbled across some working men's club opposite a cop shop

looked shut

then someone popped out from the back and said to come in through the back door

was packed in there, not even football fans half of them, just folk who'd either stayed out all night or started early

1983 - Our first season back in the lower divisions. I'd only seen us play in the top two divisions before then. Opening day, we got Wimbledon at home.  It was a stark reminder of the level we'd fallen to.

It'll be the same this time or Stevenage away. Something to make me upset about Oxford again.

Downhill from then including losing second leg of Chester LC on pens from, I think, 3 up

Had the Walsall humdinger shortly after too but yeah, by December, the wheels had pretty much come off.
