My dad and uncle took me to my first game in May 1982 when I was 8 years old, we plyerd Coventry City, Joe Corrigan had hurt his neck and Alex Williams played in goal. Unfortunately we lost 3-1. I sat in the main stand and remember looking across at the Kippax which seemed to have a life of its own the way all the people swayed about. I thought then, that is where I want to be, and from as soon as my mum and dad would let me at about age 13 I stood on the kippax right next to the away supporters, the atmosphere was amazing, and when City scored you could end up along way from where you started as everybody jumped around, I loved it. I am now 35 and have stood or sat in the kippax (or east stand as it now is) for over 20 years and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else when City are playing.
