Coming down to Maine Road from Glasgow for the first time with my dad i remember heading to the main entrance where my dad had told me i could catch a glimpse of my hereos, the atmosphere as the players turned up to the stadium was absolutely amazing, it wasnt the best season but the passion you felt in Maine Road made sure City where in my heart forever. City till i die.

It was a cold january afternoon and after being told I couldn’t go and watch County, I was taken to Maine Road for my first ever football game. City were losing 0-2 at half time, but we managed to win the game 3-2. The rest, as they say, is history. From that day onwards I had been bitten by the City bug. Season ticket holder ever since.

If I remember correctly, Swindon were flying when they came to maine road, but city tore up the form book and scored 5 of the 6 goals that day. Chris Casper with the own goal and the atmosphere was awesome.

It’s probably a strange one to have such a fond memory of, but I’ll never forget my first City game despite us losing. Maine Road was absolutely rocking on that day and everyone got right behind the side, despite the defeat. So many kids would have looked elsewhere, to maybe a more successful team, but it’s like the old saying that once you go to Maine Road once, you’re hooked for life, and I certainly was.
