DID YOU KNOW?
Playing on Saturday: Our first three games this season are all on a Sunday. Our first Saturday game isn't until matchday 4 (away at Arsenal), which is the latest we've ever had to wait for a Saturday outing.As far as our first Saturday game at home, we have to wait until Week 6 this year to be at The City Ground on a Saturday (against Sunderland).
That's a 5:30pm game though...our first 3pm Saturday game at the City Ground isn't until game 8, against Chelsea. For now...
Chris Wood's 6th minute goal to open the season was the 4th fastest goal on opening day in our history. Here's the page for the record: Earliest goals every season The 3-0 half-time lead over Brentford to open the season is our best half-time score on Opening Day, and only the second time we scored three in the first half, after leading Southampton 3-1 in 1995.ON THIS DAY - AUGUST 20
Kenny Burns debut
Kenny Burns made his first team debut on this day in 1977. He was our Player Of The Year that season (and again in 1980-81).
