My first game was against Portsmouth on September 21st 2008 when I was 5 years old, we won 6-0
I really wanted to see Benjani play because he is my favourite player, unfortunately he was injured, but winning 6-0 made up for that. Seeing the really green pitch was brilliant it was so bright. Joe Hart was right in front of where I was sat, seeing him so close up was unbelieavble.
Looking at all the players kits was my best memory, I love City and always will.

One of my dreams became a reality. On December 5 I went to Cottage for Fulham – Man City which drew 1-1. I am from Bulgaria and I had never been so far in UK at all, so I’ve decided to come to visit my team and to see London.
The atmosphere was tremendous, I met the City fans – it was just incredible to me. Although I was at the game with Fulham fans I was pleased that I attend the game and it was interesting, especially when Benjani opened the score after just 6 minutes – unique and it was right in front of me:) So I will never forget this one and I promise to visit our home, of course.
Otherwise I am City fan since 1995, I’m 28 years old.

My first match was the Boxing Day clash 2008 against Hull City. I travelled all the way from Cornwall with my Mum, Dad and big brother Piran, we left home at 7.45am. It was certainly worth the long trip seeing all those goals although I did say to my Mum after 10mins that it was a bit boring as there hadn’t been any goals yet!! Once we scored 3 I started waving ‘cheerio’ to all the Hull fans that were leaving early! Hull made a substitution, I asked my Mum what they were doing, she said they’re changing players as he’s not very good; I then said, “I think they should substitute all of them then”. I also noticed the Hull manager pacing up and down, I told my Dad that’s because his team aren’t doing very well and because we’re doing well Mark Hughes is sat in his seat!!!
I wished for 2 things before we went; to meet Moonbeam and for Robinho to score, both came true. I kept waving and shouting to Robinho. Travelled back to Cornwall, got home at 11pm, what a day, what a great first game, now I can’t wait to go again in March to the Sunderland match.

Ive been a Man city fan for as long as i can remember, but i can’t really tell you why.
I’m a southerner with no northern family, City were just the team i chose to love, and i still do to the day.
Living on the south coast you might imagine its hard to get to Manchester to see the home games, but one weekend my self and 4 friends (all spurs fans) came up for the Sunday afternoon game.
The experiance for me was amazing, the singing fans and being front row, i loved being next to the pitch.
The game started and the feeling was electric, but things turned sour as Robbie Keane scored from what looked to be an impossible angle, and that how half time finished.
No need to say i got some abusive texts from my mates. But the second half was to change all that.
Ireland got one about 15 mins into the second half and Onuoha finished it off. 2-1 City!!
I have to say the trip home wasnt as great as the match, as i had to sit on a train full of spurs fans, and me still with my City top and match scarf still being worn proudly.
A day i will never ever ever forget.

I woke up early on the Saturday morning to find out my own match had been cancelled. After speaking to a few mates, I got invited to the FA Cup 3rd Round match between City & Nottingham Forest.
Surely it was going to be a goal fest, especially after the previous weeks drubbing of Hull.
I wasn’t disappointed, Nathan Tyson scored a screamer thanks to Micah Richards, and Robert Earnshaw made it 2-0 at half time. Boos followed the Blues of the pitch, and joining in with this was my personal highlight.
In the 2nd half City were just as poor, and Joe Garner wrapped up a fine 3-0 victory for the Championship strugglers, who promptly reminded City fans of their glorious European past.
It was the best match I have ever been to, and I just wish I could have been in the away end with the jubilant Forest fans. Sitting in the East stand surrounded by gutted City fans was fantastic though, and I can’t wait to return to my new ‘Theatre of Dreams’

My first game at Manchester City was at home to Arsenal on 22nd November 2008 (me being 15). I was looking forward to it before the match because i’d watched many pros on tv before but never seen them up close. I looked forward to watching Robinho, as he is my favourite player and i remember his days at Real Madrid being a joy to watch. After all that waiting he scored to make it 2-0 which made me scream in my friend’s ear. Superb goal you have to admit. I came with two of my best friends and we all enjoyed the match because we won! Arsenal are a very hard team to break down, but with a few players out injured it made it even easier to win 3-0. That game will always be stuck in my head as its good to go to a match and see the team win. I’ve been to the stadium before to watch England play but that was nothing compared to that game. Also, every camera that i saw, i waved at it because i hoped i could get on Match Of The Day. I don’t think it worked!
