Last game of the old Kippax against Chelsea. i was sat in the corner between the Maine stand and the North stand with my dad. Memories are vivid but do remember Paul Walsh scoring and Uwe Rosler running off like he had bagged it. The start of my admiration for the heroic German.

My first game was at Maine Road 1991 against Arsenal. A friend who i met in a holiday at mallorca. Paul, Thank You, Paul, took me and my mate who are from sweden to the game. He had Seasoncards that we borrowed. I can still see David White running at me to celebrate his goal with the fans in the corner. One of those rare wins against Arsenal that im glad to have seen. and remember that we did steel a point at Chelsea a couple of days later with a late Sheron goal. Jan Laamanen Sweden

My first love is my wife with Man City a very close second, but I remember getting married in the morning then going to watch City beat Ipswich 2-1 in the afternoon with my dad in the kippax then going back for the reception what a magical day. Sadly my dad has passed away but now take my grandson Nathan Baylis to as many games as possible, I hope he has as many magical times watching City as I have had up to now.

Apart from the spectacular view of the pitch and players,my biggest memory of my first game was in the pre match warm up. Ruud Gullit (then at Chelsea) kicked the ball into the crowd, the result it smacking me in the face! I was around 10 at the time.To make matters worse,City lost 2-1. Gaudino had put us 1-0 up after three minutes! I still loved it and i’ve been going ever since! I also remember the new Kippax stand only being half built at the time too.

my first sight of my blues must have been in 1963 they had just demolished hulme and they moved us to fallowfield some 5 mins walk from maine rd i must have been 8 or so one saturday i heard all this noise and had to find out what it was i clearly remember sneaking in at 3/4 time i was totally gob smacked after a couple of seasons of sneaking in i eventually got a paper round at platt lane post office and could afford to pay to go in.

I’ve so so many happy memories over the years like the time there was a bomb scare and mr summerbee took the ball and shook it pretending it was the bomb and threw it in the crowd (brilliant) happy days and who could ever forget the in my opinion one of the greatest blues mike doyle the way he wound those reds up was pure bliss im still potty as ever 45 yrs later for my blues im 55 and just bought a mini in blue n white potty or what

i cant actually remember the exact date or opponent of my first game,although i think it might have been oxford united. what i can remember is the excitement of the train journey, the walk up to the ground,the buzz of the fans which seemed so much better than it is today and the walk up the kippax tunnel and seeing the pitch for the first time, the result, 2-1 to city with both goals for us scored in added time!! typical city

Wednesday 11th Nov 1981 , My dad finally agreed to take me after a long time asking , It was a cold evening , we sat in the Platt lane Stand. the result was 3 – 1 (Tueart 2 , Mcdonald 1) att 21139. this was the start of a addiction which i have to this day , Maine Road became a second Home to me although the new stadium was needed the memories of Maine Road and My First City game will never fade.

Me and my dad went to The City Of Manchester Stadium on A cold winter Thursday,With a 7.45 kick off. I was 13 and really excited. As soon as i caught sight of the stadium and crowd i realized how amazing the Stadium was. However we lost 1-0 by a Frank Lampard penalty. However it was still a great day that i wont ever forget.

My first city game as a young 16 year old who had come across from Belfast.

Belfast was at the height of the troubles and to come over to England was like a holiday for me.

After travelling across on the Liverpool ferry all night then a train up to Manchester the excitement and joy of seeing Maine Road for the first time in real live was amazing.

i stood on the famous Kippax and then to see my hero the graet Colin Bell score was something else. i will never forget that day as also a fellow Northern Ireland man spoiled it for me when he scored against us – Brian Hamilton.

Having grown up in Belfast in the shadow of Man utd and Liverpool fans i still made the right decision and was a blue at last. 33 years on and still coming over to see the blues the rollercoast still continues and i would not change it for the world. Thank You City

I had finally convinced my Mum to let a family friend take me to Maine Road for a game. I was 12 years old and waited excitedly. It was 2pm, then 2.30pm…the game was approaching and I was wondering where my lift was. Nearly in tears, he finally arrived and we eventually made it to Maine Road and the game, about 20 minutes after kick off. Relieved to finally be at the ground, we went into the North Stand corner next to the Main Stand to watch the 0-0 draw with Oldham Athletic. The start of a lovely (if sometimes strained) relationship with my club.
