I was only 5 at the time, so i can’t remember much. But i can remember how bitterly cold it was. I’d been given the ticket the day before as my Christmas present. I remember cheering when the goal went in, only for my Grandad to tell me that it was Port Vale who had scored, and not city. A 1-0 loss to Port Vale isn’t the greatest of first games to attend at Maine Road, but it’s been the first of many.
