I mean I know you can't have rivals playing at home on the same day etc. but I didn't know that, is that an actual thing?
At least we won't have to encounter the racists if it's behind closed doors.First game Leeds away.
Newcastle away 93/94 opening day - pretty sure they were newly promoted.We’ve had 28 opening day fixtures in the Premier League era. Our first match in the Premier League was a goalless draw at Southampton on 15 August, 1992. Our opening day record is won 11, drawn 7, lost 10.
We've played 21 of our 28 opening day fixtures in the Premier League away from home.
I would have to check but I wonder how many times we've played a newly promoted side first game of the season ?? Anybody know ?
Or the tomatoes with razor blades inside.At least we won't have to encounter the racists if it's behind closed doors.
Luton at home in '82 springs to mind.Newcastle away 93/94 opening day - pretty sure they were newly promoted.
Aston Villa last season.
Palace away 13/14, Soldado penalty - think they were newly promoted.

Bristol City's last ever top-flight game was against us - in May '80.Newcastle away 93/94 opening day - pretty sure they were newly promoted.
Aston Villa last season.
Palace away 13/14, Soldado penalty - think they were newly promoted.
