My first game was man city vs crewe at maine road we won 3-2 that day great experience

A memorable day for all city fans which grasped the hearts of everyone present at the old Wembley stadium. I was 12 years old with my uncle K*ob Head and we were on our way out of the stadium as Gilingham scored their second goal….. that was until Kevin Horlock scored what seemed to be a consolation…..surely we couldnt pull this back with the 2 minutes of time remaining???

OOOOOOOOHHHH YESSSSS, YOU BEAUTYYYYY as my uncle fell down the stairs after jumping in delight! Paul dickov to the rescue!!!

The scene was set for a wonderful penalty shootout and citys saviour Nicky Weaver ran a short marathon before being mauled by his jubilant team mates!!!!

I know we havent won much for a while but ur always sure City will bring a bit of excitement into your life!!

CITY TILL I DIE!!

As a favour to a friend, I agreed to tag along to Manchester City v Blackpool which was the first Match in City’s first season in the 3rd tier of English Football. I only vaguely attached myself to the Club at the time so attending was more a chance to watch Football in the sunshine over anything else. City ran out 3-0 winners and I couldn’t think of a reason to not attend again. I’ve never looked back. Anything else happening on top is a bonus as far as I see it.

my first game, was a dire 1-1 draw with Wimbledon at Maine Road.

Mark Ward scored an equalising penalty right infront of me (in the Platt Lane end- past a moustached Nigel Martin), whilst my dad listened to the England v France grand slam decider on someones radio.
i was only 8, but hooked ever since. i just gazed at the kippax for most of the game, freezing cold.
i dont understand why i went back, i still dont understand why i go now. the best thing about it though is reading all the other memories, like wembley, and derby wins. at first i thought how lucky, but my first match was a shocker, i know what to expect each week, and if you go often enough once in a blue moon, you’ll actually enjoy it.
KEEP THE FAITH!

My first man city game was when i was aged seven and it was against Northampton. I can remember being in the Kippax and because we was that high up i felt sick!!

The game was a 0-0 and i think it was michael brown who was closest to scoring but his long range shot ws well saved!!

Also in that season i managed to get Wembley tickets and went to watch the mighty blues beat Gillingham on penalties!!!!!

My first city match was against villa at maine road…
Curle missed a penalty and Kinkladze scored his first goal for city!!

I will never forget the amazing atmosphere at the ground, blue is in my blood but this was a day that i will never forget.

My first city match was against Ipswich Town, Friday 16th August 1996, i was 7 and Ipswich Town was also my dads first game. His was Saturday 28th February 1970. Coincidently both matches ended 1-0 with the scorer of my match being Lomas and his was Lee. Ill never forget the intensity of our fantastic support when i stepped out, a true fan knows their home when they see their team even so young…

Last game of the old Kippax against Chelsea. i was sat in the corner between the Maine stand and the North stand with my dad. Memories are vivid but do remember Paul Walsh scoring and Uwe Rosler running off like he had bagged it. The start of my admiration for the heroic German.

My first game was at Maine Road 1991 against Arsenal. A friend who i met in a holiday at mallorca. Paul, Thank You, Paul, took me and my mate who are from sweden to the game. He had Seasoncards that we borrowed. I can still see David White running at me to celebrate his goal with the fans in the corner. One of those rare wins against Arsenal that im glad to have seen. and remember that we did steel a point at Chelsea a couple of days later with a late Sheron goal. Jan Laamanen Sweden

Apart from the spectacular view of the pitch and players,my biggest memory of my first game was in the pre match warm up. Ruud Gullit (then at Chelsea) kicked the ball into the crowd, the result it smacking me in the face! I was around 10 at the time.To make matters worse,City lost 2-1. Gaudino had put us 1-0 up after three minutes! I still loved it and i’ve been going ever since! I also remember the new Kippax stand only being half built at the time too.
