My first City game was when I was 8 watching us play out a 0-0 draw down on the south coast at Dean Court. The ground was so old we had to lean on rusting gates and squint a bit so we could see the pitch which seemed to have a hill around about the centre-spot mark, making it quite difficult to adjudge what was actually going on! Nevertheless, being there after hearing so many stories from family about City was something else- it didn’t matter that we played pretty badly, or that we had two sent off, and we couldn’t see the other goal- it was a City match and nothing can beat that!
