Memories so far...

By the start of the 1920s City were challenging for the League title, often watched by 40,000 capacity crowds at the old Hyde Road ground. To cope with the Club’s ever-growing support the Blues moved to Maine Road in 1923 and within six months a crowd of 76,166 – a record for any football match in Manchester at that point – proved the strength of City support. By the end of the decade the Blues had become the first Manchester side to play at Wembley Stadium. Stars of the period include Billy Meredith (whose long and distinguished playing career came to an end at the age of 49!), Tommy Johnson, Jimmy McMullan and Frank Roberts.

The day when luke chadwick and francis jeffers signed for manchester city is a day i’ll remember for the rest of my life, jeffers performance against the kaizer cheifs will no doubt stay in my memory until i die, chadwicks penalty in the 91st minute of the intertoto cup against anorthosis famagusta no doubt equals the feat of the pre-mentioned JEFFERS.

My first game was city vs Macclesfield away in division two. City were wearing the yellow and black away kit made famous for the play off final victory against Gillingham.
My Dad took me to the game, i was thirteen. I remember standing in the mud cheering on city. The game finished 1-0 to city with Shaun Goater scoring the winner.

Watching Grandstand the Saturday we had our FA Cup quarter-final with Spurs, in 1969, I have an abiding memory that has stuck with me that they gave the wrong scoreflash at some point that said Spurs were 1-0 up. They corrected it a few minutes later to say that City were actually 1-0 up but during those few minutes I was very morose.
Did this actually happen??!!!

My first game was against blackpool at home when i was 7 years old . I went with my mum and was sat on the front row of the east stand at maine road and we won three nil thanks to a shaun goater hat trick . I went to a few more games that season and i knew i would be a city fan for life . We was then promoted to the old division 1 as we beat gillingham in the play off final at wembley that year and that was when i got my first city season ticket and have had one ever since .

I had to wait until I was 7 for my first trip to Maine Road. I say that because although I was young, I can remember waving my dad, uncle and grandad off to games wondering when I would get my chance to go. I still remember a few days before, bouncing up and down when my dad asked me if I wanted to go to watch City. Within minutes Adrian Heath flashed a through ball past the keeper of his former team. Then an hour of tension.. waiting. For better or worse, I was hooked.
