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.

My very first Manchester City Match i ever went to was against Sunderland on the 21st august 2003 at maine road. We won that game 3-0 in which one of city best players scored the last ever goal at maine road.
Loved that game
MARC-VIVIEN FOE was the player to score the last goal at maine road.
Later that year he tragically died playing for his beloved national team Cameroon.
Rest In Peace
Marc-Vivien Foe

Man city vs Chelsea
As i walked out to the stadium it felt like i was a real player! The atmosphere was amazing. I wondered how amazing it would be to be playing on the pitch with such a great atmosphere!!
It was a great match but unfortunatly we lost
As i left the stadium i realised how emotional football was, i couldnt stand loseing and cried all the way home!

My first proper (first team) match, was against middlesbrough, on sunday october 7th 2007, who we beat 3-1. It was a fantastic first game of football, everything i wanted to see was there, flair, passion, goals. Elano became a god in those couple of weeks, scoring a fantastic free kick against newcastle before again scoring a great free kick against middlesbrough, to which luckily i caught on my digi-cam. It was the perfect day for me, and i have enjoyed many more since.

I don’t remember going to this game as it was a couple of months before my 3rd birthday but I have been to City games loads of times since and I love it, especially the pies! I remember I cried at the noise when Trevor Sinclair scored the first goal at my first Derby game in Jan ‘06 but by the end I was cheering like mad when we won 3 – 1!

This wasnt my first city game i watched but it was one of the most memorable, for one reason to fight from relelgation. It was against Newcastle and we had to win. All i remember from that game was how good our fans were. We won 1-0 and it was a tense game. The goal was made from a great cross by Nicolas Anelka, and Paulo Wanchope found the cross and headed in the back of the net. The croud were so good this game, fully behind the team. I remember the whistles the fans were making from around the ground towards the end of the game, deafening, it was so tense and when the full time whistle came, the feeling felt so great. On the way down the spiral walkway all me and my dad could here was ‘blue moon’ and ‘The best team in the land. The fan support was so good this day,as always. Through this win we put wolves down, and the blues stayed up.

My first game was extra special because it was a hard long season for city, it was against charlton in 2005, where we won 3-2 because of barton’s screamer and david james fine last minute save, my dad and i never really bonded but he decided to take me and it will stay in my memory for the rest of my life.

My very first trip to Manchester was to watch the game against M’boro on October 7th 2007. Went to the CityStore first and met Chairman, he was very nice and he had time to greet everyone.
After went inside the stadium and watched the game, the Man City fan keep singing and chanting through out the game, the atmosphere like this was fantastic. I never experienced such an atmosphere by watching any football game like this before.
