Memories so far...
Click and drag the timeline below:
City became re-established as one of the Premier League’s leading sides following promotion as Division One Champions in 2002, but for many fans the story of the early 2000s was the emotional move from Maine Road to Eastlands in 2003. The move caused many to think of their relationship with the stadium and the club and emotions ran high. The first competitive game at the new stadium was a UEFA Cup tie, and since that moment fans have witnessed the full range of emotions associated with this Club.

I was 9 years old me and my dad were staying at his uncles. We work early and ate a full english breakfast then we made our way down to the ground my dad went a diffrent way so he could walk from the house were he lived as a kid one last time. Me and my cousin were at the front of the crowd surrounding the entrance to the ground. Shaun Goater came round for photos and he signed my flag then Robbie fowler jumped thourgh the crowed. Whenthe game began it wasn’t the greatest game ever but I knew it meant so much more when the full time whistle went we had lost one nill but it didn’t matter this was a goodbye party and I know that I will never forget the one game I saw at Mainr Road

My first game was THIS year on December 5th. My daughter & son-in-law took me to see MCFC vs Chelsea. What a game and what an experience! I will never forget that evening.

My first game was in September 2009. I had been converted into a City fan around 7 years ago by my other half. The game in question was City v Fulham in the Carling Cup and to be honest it was a poor game, but the atmosphere and the build up to the game more than made up for the match…
The game eventually went to extra time and with us sneaking through with goals from Barry and Toure. I have subsequently been to all the Carling Cup games so far this season and also the Chelsea game…………. So thats a 100% record for me when i have visited Coms

I remember my first MCFC match for both being an exciting time and a little sad, I came home from school and got changed and then it was off to grandmas for a chippy tea with grandma and grandad. After tea we left my older sister safely with grandma and promptly kidnapped grandad and whisked him away to the match, it will be great to share memories of my first match with grandad when i am older. Although a little sad that my dad had to work and could not make it, I wasnt sure what to expect when i got to the stadium but it was huge i couldnt believe how many people where there. The atmosphere was fantastic even though we where sat on the front row getting soaked but it was worth it with a 2-1 result. Half time was interesting too as i had never seen or tasted a hotdog that was so big before and it is now my ritual to have a hotdog at every match i attend. My friends have laughed at me for being a MCFC supporter but the love i have for MCFC will never fail, I have been laughed at for wearing the kit and going to matches but it is me who is having the last laugh because in the last 12 months i have converted 12 of my friends, including some who have laughed at me and probably to their dad’s dismay. I also include a photo of myself and my birthday cake.

My first man city game was one of the most historic games in city’s history not only did it deliver a great game but 100 goals for the ‘GOAT’ and a cracker from anelka when goater chipped the ball over the bald frenchman a mixture of emotions bursting through my one which is impossible to replace thats why win lose or draw i’m hooked to MAN CITY and that great thrill will never disappear. jake loftus age 14
