City Were My Ok Club At The Time But When I Went To A Game My Life Ambition Was In That Ground!!

my first ever city game was city v millwall in the 98/99 season. what a baptism of fire it was. i was seven and my dad had got 2 free tickets which were situated next to the away fans. he sold them and bought two other tickets away from them. during the game a fight broke out between the millwall fans and the city fans. good job my dad used his instinct and moved us to the other end of the mighty old maine road. i think the game finshed 3-1 to the blue’s

I was only 5, went to Sincil Bank to see City take an early lead through Rosler. Then my rollercoaster ride of being a City fan begun with me leaving Lincoln having seen us lose 4-1!
I was hooked.

Sou fanatico por esse clube , vamos city , ninguem segura noiz

My first city game was in August 2008, I was 4 months old and we won 6 – 0 against Portsmouth, I have my own season card and I am not even one yet, I will be one in April 09. My bother Eric remembers his first game, he is a home and away fan,he is a regular attenderalong with our fanatical father “Gilly” these are special times and you never forget your first match. Once a blue you will always be a blue.

I’ll never forget the impact of the place as Dad and I took our seats in the main stand – the only time I ever sat there. The overwhelming memory is of the smell of tobacco smoke and the incredible greenness of the floodlit pitch. Alan Ball was playing for high flying Everton but City won with a Colin Bell special scored at the Platt lane end if memory serves. Fabulous.

Feb 12th 2000 City 3-1 Norwich. What a day, my first time at a City game…and what a boring 1-1 draw we were heading for until Joe Royle pulled in Mark Kennedy to the sideline and made the gesture for Kennedy to cut inside the right back (Mark was trying to go outside all afternoon) 5 minutes later it was 3-1 with 2 exquisite strikes from the Dub. The icing was laid so thick on the cake that day as the Rags lost 3-0 in Newcastle. To top it off that day too, I had a radio so nothing really beats delivering the news to thousands of your fellow City fans that the rags had conceded a goal, whats even better I got to do it 3 times!!! We headed to the Nelson after for a few pints and when the crowd discovered we were paddies over for the game they broke in to song “There’s only one Mark Kennedy”. Magic!!!

I travelled from Glossop on the train with my close friend Eric – we still meet up at each home game even though we live 200 miles apart – and got the bus to the ground from Aytoun Street. The game was against Birmingham City and lasted about half an hour because of a waterlogged pitch! The score was 1-1. The whole day out cost me less than 10/-d (50p). The good old days!!

I was 9 when I attended my first City game with my Dad and older brother. I remember we sat towards the front of the Main Stand on the bench seats. City won 3-2. I particularly remember the City forward line of Summerbee Bell Lee Marsh and Law which I still think to this day takes some beating. I was hooked!……..

My Husband Rob is Blue through and through but due to work commitments hadn’t been to a match at Eastlands. Finally he had a Saturday off I plotted with our sons we would say we where going to the Science and Industry Museum we arrived at Piccadilly and got in a taxi his jaw dropped when I asked the cabbie for the City Of Manchester Stadium!!! We arrived at the ground I was impressed by the size of the place we got our tickets and even met Moonchester outside. We where in tier 3 of the East Stand. Match time the noise was great the singing and cheering Elano scored a great goal in the bottom corner Rob nearly lost his voice!! 45,000 Left happy at full time me included I really enjoyed the day and I think Rob forgave me the lying about where we where going
