My first visit to Maine Road was for a league game vs Leicester City in what was a great season when we should have wen the league. At the time I was 14yrs old and was taken my a bloke who was chasing my older sister. I remember we got a bus from Bury centre and it was raining . We then took another bus from Victoria to near the ground. City were awesome that day and we sat in I block in the Maine Stand. We won 5-0 I cannot remember exactly who scored but the team consisted of Joe Royle,Brian Kidd,Peter Barnes, Denis Tueart, Dave Watson, Paul Power and big Joe Corrigan in goals.I was mesmerised by the atmosphere and the football. I can recall Helen ringing her bell and dropping my pie atfer they scored.I later remember watching Match of the day and hearing the commentator saying ” If this is the third best team in the country just how good is the first team “. I have never stopped going since and will follow City through thick and thin.
