Millwall skipper Paul Robinson is relishing the trip to Southampton on the opening day of the season.

The Lions will run out at St Mary's on August 8, a ground which provides mixed memories for centre-half Robinson.

"They have got a great stadium and I`m really looking forward to starting the season there," he told the club`s official website.

"I have had good and bad experiences of playing at St Mary's, so hopefully that will be a good one.

"I had a great day there when I had just broken into the first team. It was an FA Cup tie and I played against James Beattie in the week he was called up to the England squad.

"That was an enjoyable day, but I do have bittersweet memories of playing there. We got relegated at that ground too, so it's a great opportunity to go back and put that right."
