Earliest City match attended by a forum member

My first was certainly not the earliest on here but quite interesting. 2nd May 1960 to see Burnley win the league with a crowd of 65,981. Burnley won 2-1 and won the league by 1 point.

1961 Central League game against Leeds.

Remember nothing about it,according to my Dad I spent most of the game running up and down the Scoreboard End terraces

A year earlier you were the 1st ball girl, as well.

Thats only because my nuts hadn`t dropped by then.

Tuesday March 27th 1968 7:30pm United v City.
It was my cousins birthday we were 6. My uncle who took us was a passionate red.
I detested the atmosphere of hate.
Best scored for United within a minute. Then City took charge. Bell equalised and Heslop and Lee won the game for City. Bell was magnificent throughout, a true thoroughbred.
My cousins birthday was ruined but I became a blue because of Colin Bell.

Beat me to it...



... pretty sure the first half was the quietest half of football City ever played.

No wonder they never scheduled any more games at 11:15AM on a Sunday.
