How long have you been a City fan?

[squirtyflower]

Well over 50 years. Standing naked in a laundrette at 5 in the morning on the way to Upton Park drying my clothes. Getting into Wembley for nothing v West Brom. The Battle of Bramall Lane, sitting next to Blg Helens bell at Reading 7-0 and getting Mike Doyles shinpads. Covered in Bandages after an accident at OT 3-1 was that big Georgies first goal that season. Selling the tele and glass coffee table to go to Juventus lost 2-0, telling the wife the dog smashed them. Thumbing to Pompey for a friendly and getting there three days early. Climbing over the wall at Filbert Street for a cup replay, thanks Nelly (rip). Expelled for going to Wolves for a cup replay,replay against Everton.
Seems like everyone has a story behind their love for City. Loyal Fans ? or just complete nutters ?

been going since the early 60s

From birth but my first game was when I was 6 in 86, so 25 years properly.

Spent the first match sat next to my old man on one side and an inflatable frankenstein that two pissed blokes had brought on the other

(City beat Oxford 1-0)

Born in Leeds, I was a Leeds fan until I was about 12, had a season ticket a lot of those years, my dad used to follow them home and away throughout the 80's and 90's. Then I lost interest in football really, as it was effectively verboten at my high school. Maybe 3 years ago I started watching the odd game, first city game was 4-2 against Arsenal last season, sat in the away end (tickets courtesy of Bacary Sagna). Never been so uncomfortable in my life, except when I went to the reverse fixture at the Emirates, again in the Arsenal end... I'd moved to Manchester, City were the only team I could have supported given my hatred for the rags that was hammered into me in my upbringing. First time I sat in the home end at COMS was the Valencia friendly this season and I've been to every home game since, and went to Upton Park as well. I'm 21.
