Unusual in that it advertises a match the following day at another ground and not involving Stoke.

6th August 2016

Bolton Wanderers v Sheffield United (League 1)

Chris Wilders 1st game in charge ends in defeat at Bolton

After four games, and 1 point, many United fans were claiming that the job was too big and wanted Wilder out. Good job nobody was listening.
Champions with 100 points.

7th August 2018

Middlesbrough v Sheffield United (Championship)

United start the season with a second successive defeat, things just got better after that, and we finish runners up

Leeds Utd start their 1st ever season in League 1 (the old Division3) with a visit to Tranmere Rovers:

Leeds started the season on -15 points as punishment for exiting Administartion without a formal Creditors Voluntary Agreement (CVA).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSVWwY6CscA

The 2-1 victory for Leeds was the 1st of 7 straight wins to clear the -15 points. providing a solid strart that lead to the Play-Off Final only to fail to turn up in losing 1-0 to Doncaster Rovers.

13th August 1967

Holstein Kiel v Bergedorf 85 (German Regional Nord)

14th August 1971

Sheffield United v Southampton (Division 1)

Opening match of the 1971-2 season and one of the first programmes my old man gave me. Gave me about a dozen one day that year and remarkably this is still the copy I got off him.

Chelsea 0 Carlisle United 2

This was Carlisle’s first top flight match and they won courtesy of goals from Bill Green and Les O Neill. I think this was one of the first matches where Chelsea’s new West Stand was used. I have included a copy ticket and a couple of long range photos described as view from the West Stand of the match in progress.
