What was the first City game after you were born?

The first game was 4th January which coincidentally is the same in 2026
That’s as far as I’m revealing on a public forum knowing someone’s date of birth can be useful for those with nefarious intent
 
It would have been 28 October 1944 (3 days after I was born) - according to the record book it was against Wrexham and City won 2-1.

The first game I actually saw (admittedly on black and white TV) was the May 1955 cup final against Newcastle that we lost 1-3. If my memory serves me correctly, we played most of that game with10 men as (I think) Jimmy Meadows went off injured.
 
Lost 2-1 at Stoke. Only won one of the first sixteen games of the season, but it was the derby. Finished one point above Stoke, who were relegated.

We haven't got a daft threads forum, so I'll stick this in here. Mine? City 3 Wolves 3, December 15th 1962. Hayes, Dobbing and Hannah were our scorers (Crowe, Stobart and Galley for Wolves). Played in front of just over 14k punters.




And yes; City were 3 up; after 26 minutes. Come the hour mark, it was 3-3!

I think a daft thread forum is a good idea actually, they'd be plenty of content that's for sure, lol.

But who decides what is "daft"? What would be the threshold? If it was left to the mods to decide, I'd guess there'd be plenty on here who wouldn't be happy with that. "Oi, you c**t. My thread isn't daft".

That would definitely be a problem, fun though.

I agree with you jimharri. It’s a good excuse to look at some old fixtures (a bit like some of us focs). Anyway mine is below. Apart from the venue - Another bloody repeat at Christmas!

Bert's first season and he always maintained that it had been his worst performance for the Blues. Fortunately things improved after that :-)
