My friend David Wright asked me if i wanted to go to the City game against Mansfield, it was a really cold night and my mum did not want me to go as i was only 9 years old! She agreed when to let me go as Davids uncle was taking us. I was really excited and got wrapped up warm. We drove down and the first thing we could see were the floodlights and the fans walking down. We got parked up and took the short walk to the match, there were thousands of fans outside the ground as we walked round to the kippax, we went through the turnstiles and I looked up at the stairs which seemed to go on and on forever. we went in and I was lifted up to sit on the big white wall at the side of the tunnel with a big drop on the other side. The noise sounded deafening to me when we scored! We won 4-2 and went on to lift the trophy. I was completely hooked and will never forget the feeling of not knowing what was going to happen, nothing has changed!!!
