City v Spurs back in 1994. Won 5-2. Absolutely lashing down in the partially built Kippax. Stewards were handing out little plastic macs but i refused to wear one. After about an hour My uncle turned to me, looked at my drowned rat like appearance and said "we can go if you want."
I looked back at him, turned and looked at the pitch and replied "it's ok Unc, i want to stay till the end"
I was hooked, it was like a drug. At home that night i couldn't wait for the smell of the smokey toilets, peeing up against a wall behind the stand which was classed as "THE GENTS" or giving a quid to the local toe rags to "look" after our car. It was weird. When i stepped out of the car and got closer to the ground it's as if it was calling you in.

Just a brilliant match. We were rampant. 4-1 flattered Fulham on the day. The atmosphere was electric as we were supposedly signing Fowler in the next few days. I still have the MEN with the match report. The headline was "City's Light Fantastic" or something alone those lines. We signed Fowler midweek and then lost to West Brom (who I believe were rock bottom) in my second match the following weekend. Typical.
As an aside my next match will be Fulham at home, almost 10years to the day of my first match. Let's hope for a similar display on my 10 year matchday anniversary.

I can't remember my very first game. I remember going to WBA away and us scoring before we'd even sat down.
I'll never forget the game when I knew i'd be a blue. I'd sort of gone off football for a few year and got taken to the last game of the season for 01/02 against Pompey. North Stand was singing "Kippax/Main stand/Platt Lane give us a song a proper party atmosphere. I remember walking out and thinking this is the team for me.

Can vividly recall my first game but thanks to Bluemoon's excellent history section I can check what the attendance was on my personal historical evening. There were 44426 when as a raw 9 year old I saw City batter Middlesborough 4-0 in the League Cup semi-final 2nd leg. 21/01/76. Seems like yesterday!
