It was Xmas 2009 and I wanted to give my dad a really big present, that he would never forget, and as he was and still is a huge City fan, I thought of no better present than 2 tickets to any man city game he liked…………..
A few days later he rang up the box office and got us 2 tickets and upgraded as to the Citizens’ Suite and that was that.
We arrived at the city of Manchester stadium 3 hours before kickoff, and so we went right away into the city store and bought ourselves the latest home kits and a scarf for myself………
We finally came to the door of the Citizens’ Suite and a very nice women checked are tickets and we were allowed to go though………. after the meal, the guy who was presenting the afternoon, told us that kick off was just a matter of minutes away, and so we both walked, just like city players out of the gateway to the stand and took are seats among the thousands of fans that had turned out to see the game with us.
I could not believe it that I first city game would have seen Carlos Tevez smash another ball home from the spot, and I knew from the minute the whistle went for the spot kick, I just knew that city would be a goal up, as Tevez had nether missed a spot kick, and would never

My first city game was in August 2008, I was 4 months old and we won 6 – 0 against Portsmouth, I have my own season card and I am not even one yet, I will be one in April 09. My bother Eric remembers his first game, he is a home and away fan,he is a regular attenderalong with our fanatical father “Gilly” these are special times and you never forget your first match. Once a blue you will always be a blue.

My Husband Rob is Blue through and through but due to work commitments hadn’t been to a match at Eastlands. Finally he had a Saturday off I plotted with our sons we would say we where going to the Science and Industry Museum we arrived at Piccadilly and got in a taxi his jaw dropped when I asked the cabbie for the City Of Manchester Stadium!!! We arrived at the ground I was impressed by the size of the place we got our tickets and even met Moonchester outside. We where in tier 3 of the East Stand. Match time the noise was great the singing and cheering Elano scored a great goal in the bottom corner Rob nearly lost his voice!! 45,000 Left happy at full time me included I really enjoyed the day and I think Rob forgave me the lying about where we where going
