My first game was against chelsea at home on 18.03.89. Although we lost on the day 3-2, I was to become a true blue. Aged only 4 with my dad, mum and brother. My dad bought us both a scarf which i still have and a inflatable banana which was popped by somebody with a cig. I rememeber Gleghorn i think missing a sitter at the back post for 3-3 which i thought had gone in cause i was sat in the main stand.

My first game was against Chelsea in 1987. I was excited all week waiting for my first match. Me and my dad got the bus in from Stockport and I had an inflatable banana that I bought off the market. I remember my dad having a shave and he said to me “We’re going to have fun today lad” I thought he was going to shave his moustache off ha ha.

Our tickets were for the back of the main stand but there was plenty of room for us to sit where we liked and it was a better view about half way down.

We got beat that day 2-1. I was well gutted but at least U*i*t*d got beat as well that day. Who’d have thought all them years ago that I would now be watching the biggest club in the world

My favouite player was kinky king of the kippax. Without doubt the best player in premier league history

Maine Road, a night game and a UEFA Cup 1/4 final match v the mighty Borussia.
I will never forget the atmosphere watching from Platt Lane, the big pitch, the lights and a glorious City team. We drew 1-1 but I was hooked and 30 years on I still am!!

my first game was a cup match v derby county fac 3rd round at main road saturday january 7th 1950 aged 12, a mates dad took the two of us on the bus from reddish to catch the football special from bellevue dog track,
stood on the scoreboard end on the side near the main stand, away from the “crush” in the middle behind the goal, did not remember much food being sold.
“we were still on rationing after ww2″.!!!!
i think city took the lead i seem to remember, but tipical of our city over the years finished up loseing 3-5 andy black(2)nobby clarke (1)attendance 63,000 plus.
there was a young keeper in goal for this match i think a local lad from gorton.?? ( anybody remember his name)this was the time “frank swift” had just finished and bert trautmann had just signed,i attended matches after that on my bike and left it in the back yard houses opposite the kippax entrance. happy days.!!!

This game was just before my 4th birthday It was also my Great Nan’s birthday on the same day(21/4/03).I went to the game with my Dad.He said it would be the first and only time I would get to go to Maine Road as we moving into the City of Manchester stadium the following season.We sat in the Main Stand.I don’t remember much about the match but as we won 3-0 I must have enjoyed it! I have been hooked ever since.

My first match was 27th August 2005. We beat Portsmouth 2-1, and we scored 2 goals in 3 mins. I thought that was so exciting. I was 7 and I have been following City ever since. My Auntie takes me to the matches. I love Robinho.

My first ever City game was Feb 25th 1961. I was 10 and my Mum let me go Maine Road with the “big kids” off the street ( they must have been all of 13!).
The game was against Spurs who that year were to win the first post war double. City lost one nil.
My overiding memory of the game was we were behind the goals in the old scoreboard end when two teenage girls climbed over the wall and onto the pitch to give Denis Law a large silver key for his 21st birthday.This match was just a few weeks after the 20 year old Law had famously scored 6 goals in the abandoned cup tie against Luton.
The City team that day included Steve Fleet in goal, Jackie Plenderleith and Clive Colbridge. I wonder how they remember playing with Law against the double winners!

It was a dull and quite miserable Saturday afternoon when my new fround friend, who had recently returned from living in Canada for five years with his parents, convinced me to go and see his beloved Man City take on Wolves? Newcastle? Liverpool? – who knows? The opponents that day were irrelevant. The important thing was two 11 year old friends taking the 53 bus from Belle Vue, ready to part with their 4 shillings (or 20p as it would soon become) to sit in the front row of the Platt Lane stand, directly behind the goal, sipping piping hot Bovril and feasting on a meat and potato pie. Watching the likes of Lee, Bell and Summerbee destroy the opposition by six goals to one, or was it seven? Harry Dowd, our trusty keeper, turning round while the ball was at the scoreboard end and talking to us as if we were mates. Yes, it was a different era but that one experience made me a Blue for life. Before kick-off, I stood outside the Platt Lane car park, collecting the autographs of the City players as they arrived. They stopped and chatted with us. It made us feel 12′ tall. And 39 years later, that kindness and consideration the players show when meeting the fans still exists. With all the money we could wish for at our club’s disposal, we remain a friendly family club. Man City and the players are the loves of our lives.

This was my first ever game i went to, it was Norwich at home and it was a evening kick off. Cost me only six pounds to get in, i remember the walk through the tunnel and then i saw it. The hallow turf of Maine Road. After that nothing could keepme away from that ground i even had my work experince there. My mates tried to turn me to the dark side but will always be a blue.

My first ever game was City V Spurs at Maine Road on October 22nd 1994, I was 9 years old at the time. Me and my parents were sat in the middle of the Main stand in the best seats ever. We had travellled down from Carlisle and were staying in Manchester over night. When I walked up the stairs I was amazed at the view that was facing me, and the atmosphere that was around me. The game started and I got to witness 7 goals, including 2 for Spurs. I was so happy to see my hero playing and to make it even better he scored. The mighty Niall Quinn. I thought football was always going to be like this, if only! Because the next match I saw was a boring 0-0 with Leeds.
