How long have you been a City fan?

[DSonBlue]

Since the new owners took over and it looked liked we might start winning things. It was Arsenal before then but glad i changed as they haven't won anything now for 6 years. Glad i joined this cup scheme.

brilliant.

Myself, only 4 or 5 years. No specific landmark moment for me to call on I'm afraid. Been with my girl for about 8 years now and she's born n bred City.

I used to go to Rovers games as a kid (Auntie was a die hard), and got back into footy when I had to give up American Footy (injury).

Followed Rovers as an adult for a few years but not with the same passion as my brother and his pals.

Not long after meeting the gf it was obvious there was an extra member in the relationship that I could either try and beat (pointless) or join..

Only been a SC holder for a season, but have attended many games over the past few years (but not the Hamburg game, which the missus keeps referring to when "best atmosphere" ever comes up - great!).

Now I'm as passionate as she is, which I didn't think would happen all those years ago, if I'm honest.

Unusual story if you think about it - is it not meant to be male vs female??

Wouldn't want it any other way tho - City is fast becoming my main subject of conversation (and main train of thought!!)

:O)

1957, cant remember the game (not surprising!)

Did you go to Rotherham when we won 1-0 ... ?

Did the name give it away?
Wagged school for the first time to go to that match, will never forget the pitch invasion after the final whistle!

I was probably a Blue a year or two before (I can't remember much about my childhood tbh other than getting a blue kit for Christmas one year when my brother got a red), but 28th February 1976 sealed it for me. Dennis Tueart's overhead kick to win the League Cup final. I was nine.

I've two kids now and neither of them will remember a time when they didn't support City :-)
