Earliest City match attended by a forum member

I think it was around 1981 - I was 6 and I think it was Spurs but Im not quite sure....I think I was in the Platt Lane end Corner of the Kippax which was weird as every other game that I attended with my dad and grandad once i started going regualrly we were alwasy in the North Stand end of the Kippax (not the corner section but the main stand near the top of the staris - I used to sit ona. wall so i could see over everyone - got a cold arse every week!
 
Slightly off topic, but something that occurred to me whilst visiting my elderly mother in Whaley Bridge.

My dad dragged her to the 0-0 v Bury in 64-65 when Colin Bell was playing for the opposition. She hated every minute, but almost 50 years later, insisted on being taken to a 2nd game (FA Cup Tie v Watford in January 2013).

She therefore qualifies as somebody who was present in the really dark days of George Poyser, but also a JCL with a pensioner crush on Roberto Mancini.
 
I'd be surprised if there's a bigger gap between games on here.

Sid's post reminds me of the Junior Blues. Did other clubs have anything similar. Remember it as being a huge network across Greater Manchester which loads of us must have been involved with
 
earliest i can remember, is my dad taking me to a reserve game on a saturday when they played at the same time as the first team who were away, its only a vague memory though think it maybe a stoke or sunderland but not sure, i do remember thinking wow this is big

first match i definitely remember is city 0 liverpool 3 in 1976
 
1978 v Standard Liege i was 9.. night game never forget it floodlights kippax ect....I was hooked.
