My first game was the League Cup Semi Final in 1976. I was only 5 1/2 at the time, but Dad thought it was time for me to be blooded! I remember being in absolute awe of Peter Barnes. We smashed them 4-0 and I thought “this is definitely team for me, it must be like this all the time.” How wrong can you be!! Hopefully with the new owners in place we will have those exciting times back very soon. Whatever happens though, through thick or thin, we are all, and ALWAYS will be, City till we die.

My frist game was city v west ham 8 sept 1962 city lost 6-2 and bert trautmann was sent off My uncles took me and here we are in 2009 and i am still going,so i must be a blue!

My first city game was 26th august 2006 versing arsenal were we won 1-0, I was 13 years old,I came with my uncle dale who has had a city season ticket at main road too.I was so excited about this game, i had been waiting for it for weeks,i had only ever whatched city play on the t.v, and never realy new what the atmosphere was like, i still remember getting into my uncles car on that day and my uncle asking was i excited, i was so over excited i couldnt belive it, i was acctually going to see my heroes live for the first time, i was all ready with my home top and city tracksuit on with my drink and swwets , before the match we went into the main road pub opposite and every were was fans,we went in there for a drink because we got there early. i just couldnt wait to go in, we was walking towards the entrance and all i could hear was the chants from the fans, the stadium was so big i could hardly belive my eyes it was huge.it didnt feel real it was so amazing.As soon as i sat in my seat it was time to welcome the players, i had been to see moonchester and had my photo taken with him, then a massive cheer from the croud came as the players entered the pitch. i loved the way the song blue moon came on at the handshake because i love that song i wish they played it now before a match.all i remember was shouting and cheering richard dunne. haf time came and i think it was 0-0 so i was nervouse about the second half but i new i could count on city to win on my first match The thing i remember most about the game was seeing richard dunne live, he was my real hero he played awsome on that day!I couldnt belive that city had won on my first ever live game, my uncle said it was because i came and i was city’s good luck charm. i am now a season ticket holder and never miss a game, i love the blues so much YOU ARE MY HEROES!! thankyou city for my fantastic day and everyday since then

Not sure if this was my first game. but the memories are stiil vivid. i was in the platt lane end stood on the blue benches. City beat sheffiel united 5-2 stan bowles scored twice. The atmostphere, the crowd the green pitch.the kippax a mass of blue and white, the smell of the pies and hot dogs.i was with my dad who has sice passed away but the memories of that day are always with me. The perfect day.

My first match was when i was 9 yrs old and i went to Maine Road with my dad.
I remember i was sat on the wall at the open corner between the Kippax and the Platt Lane stand.
I remember the noise, the crowds and the smell of hot Bovril and hotdogs and onions.
The atmosphere was overwhelming with excitment and fear.

City won 5-1 that day with Neil Young scoring two, Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee adding to the goals. Fulham played in an all dark strip.
Franny Lee wore the no 7 shirt and Mike Summerbee with the no 9 shirt, we all know now that this changed later on for the rest of the footballers careers to the other way round where Lee wore the no 9 shirt and Summerbee no 7 shirt!

Happy Days

My First City Game Was Against Aston Villa It Was On My 6th Birthday I Remember The Most Was When City Scored By Samaras And It Was Fabulous I Was With My Mum And My Grandad

My first city game was against Pompey when I was 7 years old (2003). I travelled all the way up from London to see City play. It was the first Premiership match at the new stadium and I was using my brand new season ticket. I can remember looking around and seeing nothing but sky blue, and hearing all the City songs I know of-by-heart today. I cheered City on all the way though even when we were losing 1-0. Equalising in the last minute was to me like we won even though we only got a draw. From then on I was City till I die. Since then I’ve come up from Highbury (everyone at school is an Arsenal fan) for half of the home games and make as many London away games as I can.

My dad and my brother went to this game where samaras scored 2 goals and carlos tevez and javier macherano were playing for west ham. 4 hours before thegame, me , my dad and my brother were looking to watch some premier league football and chose to go to man city. From that day on we fell in love with city.

My dad took me the start of the1949/50 season which was the first match of Bert Trautmanns match for city, sections of the crowd bood him which i didnt understand, weeks later they were cheering him, he was fantastic.

My dad took me to my first game in 1948. I can’t remember who they played but Frank Swift was in goal. I also remember Ron Phoenix playing at left half.No. 6, and George Smith playing inside right, No. 8. He think he’d lost his right hand when in the army in WW2 wiich had only ended 3 years before.
Before the game started my dad sat me on the wall, just to the right of the goal at the score board end and he said. “What you must remember is that City have got a knick name. They are called “The unpredictables” because they can beat the top of the league one week then get beaten by the bottom of the league the next.
How right he was, because 60 years on, nothing has changed!!!
