Although it wasnt the official first game at the Ricoh Arena it was for me and my Dad as we had been on holiday the week before in Benidorm when the City beat QPR 3-0. Remember feeling so excited walking up to the new ground, and couldnt believe how big and modern it was in com parison to Highfield Road. We took our new Season ticket seats in Block 31 of the Telegraph stand with my mate and his Dad, where we saw my sister on the pitch apart of the Sky Blue Crew. As for the game, Robert Page messed up big time with a pass back which let Fuller in to equalise after the City took the lead. Night game, Monday night.
