city v burnley, sat on my dads shoulders in the Kippax, someone called Willie Morgan playing for Burnley! Dad now 80, my son and I are now season ticket holders in the Singin South stand!!!

My first city game, was against Notts Forest in 2002. I remember it because of Darren Huckerby’s hat trick. It was great, as it was an 8th birthday present, it couldn’t have got any better. Me Dad originally tried to get me to be an Arsenal fan, but the 99′ Gillingham play-off final got me interested in city, and this game topped it off. Since, i’ve been to over 50 games, have had a season ticket, and had some of the best times of my life. It’s all thanks to me Uncle, and i’m now forever city, no matter how low or high they go.

April 72. City 3 West Ham 1. Two from the genius that was Rodney Marsh. Even to a child it was clear he had something special. he became an instant hero and that was me hooked. The good thing was I lived on Thornton Road, a minute from the main entrance. I spent every holiday outside the ground playing football against the big, exit gates and waiting for the players to come out. Sometimes they had a brief kickabout with us. Big Joe was a tough opponent! I became a season ticket holder from the next season on the end of the long Maroon benches in the Platt Lane right behind the goal, easy access to the aisle where I could try to chase any wayward shots that came anywhere near. Great times and we never lost once, did we?

My first game was against Norwich City, I was 6 or 7 so it would have been 1989 or 1990. I went with my dad, my uncle and their friend James. We all lived in Huddersfield but my dad had been taken to watch City by his uncle as a nipper so he and his brother had been blues ever since – there was never a doubt I would end up a blue! We went in the car and we parked on the Curry Mile. I remember feeling people all around me as we walked nearer to the ground. We stood on the Kippax, well, I sat on one of the barriers with the other children. We won the game, 2-1 I think, I remember making a 2-1 gesture through the car window on the way home to some miserable looking Norwich fans and referred to them as ‘Norwich Pity’. I’ve been hooked every since. My dad died 3 years ago but I’ve never stopped coming to the games, even though I now make 230 mile round trips from Scarborough. I’m so glad that he ‘inflicted the curse’ as he called it. Life would be boring without City! RIP ADL CTID.

My first memory of Maine Road is a little hazy. I had read about Dennis Law in the paper and had been ill in hospital for a long while. My dad promised to take me to the match when I was better.
It was a night match, it was in the Cup and it was raining. I thought it was against Birmingham and I thought it was a goal-less draw. But that match is not in the record books. It’s not surprising that I don’t really remember the game. Dad said that I did not take my eyes off Bert Trautmann. What ever the result I was hooked all because I picked up that paper and read about the record transfer.

Well my 1st game was in 1982 at home v Swansea aged just 9. I remember being sat on the white wall at the foot of the kippax. The atmosphere was like nothing I had ever heard before, electric and almost deafening. And I felt so grown up. Looking back I dont remember much of the match although we won 2-1 and dennis tueart scored a unique in-direct free kick, I just knew that I was there to stay, it felt like home and despite many relegations and promotions since then, there’s no greater feeling than when a city player hits the back of the net. Purely magic

I am Armani Sheku Kamara,futher more to my first city match from Sierra Leone to go and watch City played in UK in 2006.It all started way back in 2003 when Tony Griffiths a retired police man from greater Mancherster was visiting Sierra Leone to help trained our police force and social work after 10 years of civil war in my country.Since i met Tony in 2003 With my love,loyal passion of Manchester City fc and my knowledge about the club, fellow it ups and downs in past years it did not take Tony too long to make me a bigger City fans,With the help of Tony and Manchester City Centenary Supporters Association MCCSA i have been able to set up the supporters club of MCCSA sierra Leone branch and a football team by the name of Man City fc Sierra leone version both youth and senior team.As a result of my hard work in 2006 the MCCSA paid for me from Sierra Leone to come in UK and watch City played in 2006, and my first City match was against Fulham,it was a great exprience and life time memorable day for me in the ground that day as i return back home in Sierra Leone with my mind full of great exprience and story to tell to my family and friends out here in Sierra Leone and as long as i live i will never forget.

My first City game was back in 1983 in the old Second Division against Derby. My brother and I had been bad lads and our single mother was at her wits end. We were asked by a family friend who was trying to help my mother out, what would put an end to this behaviour. “We want to go to City!”. It was agreed, if our behaviour improved so would our chances of going to City. Needless to say we were both true to our word and on a mild Saturday we went off to Maine Road via Victory Street. We didn’t win though, we drew 1-1 with Derek Parlane scoring our goal. Even to this day I’m sure he was looking at me during his celebrations. Come on the Blues!

My First city game was against Portmouth last season , i was a red last Year and i wanted to see Joe Hart because i thought he was lovley. ( Which i still do ).I could’nt believe it when i first stepped out of the tunnel it was unbeliveable ,i thought ive turned back to Blue and ever since then i have gone to nearly every home game because i think our fans ar amazing and the Staduim is Beautiful. I love going to matches the best city song has to be city we love you, i will carry on supporting city even if they got Relegated.
