Here’s how Wednesday have got on in their last 15 opening day fixtures...
13. 2006/07: Preston North End. 0-0 draw
A bit of a drab one, this. Deepdale played host to a particularly unmemorable game, the most notable moment of which was Owls ace Lee Bullen's red card. Photo: Pete Norton
14. 2005/06: Stoke City. 0-0 draw
Another goalless start, this time at the Brittania Stadium. Potters defender Gerry Taggart was sent off early on, but Wednesday were unable to grab the winner. Photo: Clive Brunskill
15. 2004/05: Colchester United. 3-0 loss
A crazy game to round off with! Out of nowhere, the visitors bagged three goals in the last five minutes, leaving the Owls supporters in disbelief. Photo: Stephen Pond
