When was the last time we won on opening day?

[stonesforlife]

I've been thinking hard about when the last time we won the opening game of the season? We don't seem to have a good record over the past few seasons from the games I've been to, can anyone help? I'd take a draw tmrw, as a tough game predicted in my mind

Sat 16 Aug 2008: Heybridge Swifts 0-2 Maidstone United. Att: 244.

I agree that the game tomorrow will probably be tough.

Remember that heybridge game like yesterday even though it was 5 yrs ago! We went into that season with great optimism aswell! We had a bloody decent side for 3/4 months at the start of that season! Jay had just joined but we had the likes of Ian cox,Ian selley,edgey,Elliott bradbrook and pinno! Just a shame it all broke up after the new year!

Ah yes Heybridge away, the day i got my son to take me and trolley in my car so we could have a couple of sherbets, only to be caught in traffic and got there 20mins before KO and had to do a bit of 'power drinking'
On the way back doing 90mph down Wrotham Hill he changed all three lanes in one hit!
When asked why? He said because he could!
Little sod!
As for dog fight, that was the season Lloyd said he we won our last 5 games we'd be in the play offs and promply lost them all and finished 15th, still our highest finish I believe?
Fantastic side, most gone by Christmas when Oliver's money had all been spent
