I remember my first MCFC match for both being an exciting time and a little sad, I came home from school and got changed and then it was off to grandmas for a chippy tea with grandma and grandad. After tea we left my older sister safely with grandma and promptly kidnapped grandad and whisked him away to the match, it will be great to share memories of my first match with grandad when i am older. Although a little sad that my dad had to work and could not make it, I wasnt sure what to expect when i got to the stadium but it was huge i couldnt believe how many people where there. The atmosphere was fantastic even though we where sat on the front row getting soaked but it was worth it with a 2-1 result. Half time was interesting too as i had never seen or tasted a hotdog that was so big before and it is now my ritual to have a hotdog at every match i attend. My friends have laughed at me for being a MCFC supporter but the love i have for MCFC will never fail, I have been laughed at for wearing the kit and going to matches but it is me who is having the last laugh because in the last 12 months i have converted 12 of my friends, including some who have laughed at me and probably to their dad’s dismay. I also include a photo of myself and my birthday cake.
