It was almost seven years ago when Bristol City last headed out on the road for their opening match of the season.
Few will need reminding of the game as the Robins celebrated their return to the Championship with a trip to Sheffield Wednesday. Unfortunately, Steve Cotterill's side were brought back down to earth in a 2-0 defeat against the Owls, followed up by a 4-2 loss at home to Brentford.
Hopefully, there won't be a repeat of that start as the Robins take one of many trips to the north of England to face Hull City. Coincidentally, a game against the Tigers was the final home match of last season and perhaps the 5-0 thrashing will still be in the back of the minds of some of the opposition players.
