Congratulations, newbie. Good to welcome you to the 50 plus gang on hereToday is the 50th anniversary of the first City game I attended as a young boy, 5th March 1966 vs. Leicester City in the FA Cup at Maine Road. My Dad took me and we stood on the old Scoreboard end near the wall at the front,and the game ended in a 2-2 draw,with Neil Young scoring both goals. I have managed to attend 9 Cup Finals(1 being a replay) and 4 FA Cup semi- finals in those 50 years and watch City win the League 3 times. But I have also seen us relegated a few times and also yo-yo up and down the leagues for a few years.
Be interesting to see what the next 50 years brings for this great and historic football club that we Bluemooners support.

seen it all alright, I hit 50 years last august. little did we know what we were letting ourselves in for. would we change a thing? would we fuck. some teams have won a lot more than us but whatever happens they will never ever feel what we did when aguero won us the league. yes the timing of the goal and the sheer drama all added to the occasion but it was the journey getting there that made it special, that made our hearts almost burst with relief and excitement. no team will ever ever have that. even our younger fans there that day will never understand simply because of the sheer number of let downs and false daws we experienced. I am abolutley blessed being an old old blue.
well done op. enjoy your memories.

48 years in for me (and 42 years since my first live City match), and I wouldn't change a thing. Despite the amount of rage expended along the way, some of the greatest moments of my life have come watching City. In terms of the sheer adrenalin rush, Dickov at Wembley was still the pinnacle for me

Life long blues that us, whether it's 90 years or only a few
