I was 3 years old at the time,my dad told me that it was the most important game of citys morden history it was a playoff final agaisnt gilligham.my favourite player was nick weaver and shaun goater all i could here was blue moon you saw me standing alone with out a dream in my heat without a love of my own… the game went to penalties and at the end nicky weaver saved a pen to win the gamehe did a celeabration what i have never seen before, it was amazing then on the way home i was singing blue moon

my husband a lifelong city fan queued for around 12 hours to buy three tickets to see city v gillingham at wembly, I had no interest in football until that day, what a game!we went through a full spectrum of emotions, i cant explain the exitement i felt it was wonderful, I have been a season ticket holder ever since and I thank my husband for bringing the great game of football into my life.

10 years old and having never actually seen the blues play, this was the changing day in my life. awake at 4am looking at a 6 hour drive into london the tension began to mount, the walk up wembley way, the fans chanting. All looked like pipe dreams until kevin horlock popped up with an 18 yrd drive to drag a dull city side a little bit closer to the 1st division, 2 mins l8r time stopped, ecstacy began all around me. grown men crying, seats demolished paul dickov became the hero with the equalising goal to send us into a nail-biting shootout in which nicky weaver introduced himself as a city legend saving penalties galore. yes we had won, up and up, after that i knew i was a blue, always will be.

I was about 4 or 5 and my Dad, Uncle and Grandad decided to take me to a City game. They took me in the shop and bought me a shirt and then we went into Maine Road and sat down at our seats. The game hadn’t even started, but i think i said it was boring and wanted to go, but then it started. I remember us wining and my uncle saying is it boring now? I remember loving every bit of it, the atmosphere was the best and everytime we scored i cheered and got the biggest adrenaline rush i could get at 4 or 5.Pity i couldn’t remember anything else.

Being a City fan from Macclesfield this was a special one for me (embarrassing considering it was division 2) i dont remember much about the game. i do remember walking up to Maine Road and just couldnt wait to get inside. I also follow Macc but on a day like this City had to do the business otherwise i’d return home to some stick.

This wasn’t my first city game my dad tells me but it is the firt i can remember, everything about the day was like a rollercoaster. Getting the coach down to london and hitting traffic so we was on the coach for about 7 hours haha. The match was just…words cant describe it, as a seven year old kid it was just ‘wow’. Seeing the GOAT, dickov and horlock – the players my dad would come home from maine road and jus talk endlessly about- it was just every blues dream. Seeing weaver run around the pitch, dickov nearly breaking his back skidding on the pitch after the goal, Edghill kissing his shirt after his penalty and the immortal pressence of Andy Morrison. haha not to mention the brilliant Robert Taylor playing for gillingham – yes i was being sarcastic haha.
that day sums up why were all crazy about city !

My first game was when I was 4 years old and it was at Maine Road against Swindon Town in 1999. I was sat in the Umbro Stand with my dad and City won 3-0 with Robert Taylor, who I think was making his debut for City, scoring his first goal – a fairly weak shot that the Swindon Town goalkeeper somehow allowed to squirm under his body. My dad mentioned that as the players were warming up before the game I was cheering every time a shot went into the net past Nicky Weaver (I obviously hadn’t realised that the game hadn’t started yet!). I have been to City many times since and though I loved Maine Road, Eastlands is my preferred ground.

My first and only ever Wembley visit, City 2-0 down in the playoffs, crying my eyes out in my dads arms. I remember Horlock scoring and thinking maybe, just maybe, then elation Dickov with the saviour of our season 30 seconds left on the clock and it was 2-2, I was hooked and from that moment I’ve always given my heart and soul to Manchester City. City Till I Die!

my first game was against swansea at main road, city won 3-0.

City 3 v. Barnsley 1, October 1999 – was studying as a postgraduate student in Manchester, never been to an English football match. On a whim, bought tix to Maine Road, Maine Stand – and the singing, the atmosphere, the ground, all bowled me over. Fall in love, for LIFE. Feet The Goat (twice!) & Super Kevin Horlock!
