My first game was a three three draw with bournmouth. I was blown away by the atmosphere of main road & even though i wasn’t a fan then, i went home with a buzz for city & have been a fan since

One of my first games was the unforgettable 5-1 win against Man U. I was in the Kippax with my uncle and boyfriend, both lifelong blues. I remember after City scoring the third goal my uncle’s glasses were knocked off in the excitement. You wouldnt give them a chance would you but they were still intact on the floor!! God was smiling on us that day! We then scored the fourth and I remember all fans still panicking even though we had such a good lead. From this game, I caught the bug and am now a true blue for life. Cmon City!!

My first game was back in the days when Steve Redmond wore the Captains armband. We were led by Mel Machin at the time, who was replaced by Howard Kendall a couple of months later. October 1989. 15 years of age. We lost 0-2 with Gordon Cowan and a young David Platt pulling the strings for the opposition.

was 16, not my first game but memorable for many reasons, managed to get tickets for the replay, it was my maths o level next day so parents said i couldn’t go, so me and my friend walked to the motorway turn on, {leyland one} with a sign, “got tickets , no transport” within 5 mins a coach full of city fans stopped, went to wembley, low light of my city life was the luton game, live in australia now but still up at 2am to watch, best compliment ever was when a mate said, dave, we cann call your wife ugly, your dog a mongrel and you don’t stir, but call city and you rise up like a cut snake

My first game from what i can remember was watford in the 80’s.I can remember going in the kippax with my dad and seeing all these people could not figure out what all the fuss was about.can’t remember the score or much about the game just remember a young john barnes wearing gloves.

My first game was with my dad and my brother and we were sat in the north stand and Maine Road. I remember the grey seats really well and because it was Andy Dibbles first game as well. I remember that Mel Machin had bought five new players and they were on the front of the match magazine. I don t remember much about the match only that I think we lost but I was still hooked even at 7 year old. Haven t stopped since!

My first game at Maine Road was the 5-1 against United in September 1989. I’ve been a City fan since March 1974 but seeing as I live in the west of Ireland, I hadn’t really looked in to going to a game until I reached the ripe old age of 24 !! I had recently joined the Dublin Branch OSC and was looking forward to my first trip with them. Left Galway at 3pm on the day before the game, travelled overnight by ferry from Dun Laoghaire and landed in Manchester, early on game day. As it was my first trip, I headed to the ground about three hours before kick off just to see what it was all about !! Great seat in the Main Stand for the game, on the 18yd line at the Platt Lane end. Perfect view of White’s cross & Hinchcliffe’s finish. This is easy I thought (famous last words). Must come more often !! I have done, with the Galway Branch that I helped start in 1991. Have made many friends in Manchester/Oldham since that great day in 1989,that will live with me forever (and a day).

My first match was against Arsenal wen they wore that horible yellow and black kit. I’d come over from Australia on holiday i was 8 and it was the time of the bannana army. City won 2-0 and the rest is history i’m now living back in England and goto as many games as possible. My Mum and Dad are both City fans and named me after the loegend Peter Barnes.

I’d won two tickets for the Main Stand in a school raffle and nearly lost out on going due to my older brother wanting to go. Rang City and got a free third ticket, dad took us both and we watched the sky blues beat wolves 4-0. It was all down to me wearing all 4 of my City badges on one side of my coat and none on the other side )

First game was Kevin Moran’s testimonial at OT in 87. I was 8 yrs old and I went as a red (it was the done thing my mates said). City got beat 5-2 but they played well and i was shocked at the comments being made from supporters around me towards city and their fans. That day i decided to become a blue and it’s been the right decision regardless of anything else that has happened
