I have a hazy memory of my first game. It was a League Cup game on a Wednesday night against Spurs and everything about it was exciting, even just being up after bed time. It's a shame because going to Maine Roads for a night game was a proper experience that you rarely get these days. As much as I love Coms it's just doesn't have the same atmosphere. There's no match day smell anymore and everything is too spread out. I mean you can see Coms 20 minutes before you get to it. Maine Road use to just appear from round a corner, or if you were lucky you'd catch a glimpse from Princess Parkway or Wilbraham Road.

Strangley away from the obvious all my favourite moments revolve around the fans, before Blackburn in the cup, Schalke away before during and after, and waking up after derby day last year with a banging head ache but a sense of great satisfaction. I got a sausage BARM and sat and read the papers in the Febuary sunshine.

Me and my mates in the Kippax, 2-0 down to Blackburn at halftime. One lad's kid brother tagged along, a Rag. Laughing his head off at us. I bet him a £5 we would win 3-2 with Curle scoring the 3rd as a penalty.

That £5 bought a shit load of Baji's from Abdul's. Oh happy days!

That was my first City game.

Weirdly one of the best days out was one of the worst.

I think it was early 80's away at Southampton on a midweek night in the league cup i think.

Picture the scene...having spent 3 hours in a car we finally arrive at their old ground.It is pissing down.We are in the usual bit...i.e an uncovered area next to the home support in the Archers Road end lovingly called by the locals as "the cage".

We procede to play shite and the game ends with my favourite of all City memories...Big Joe being stuck in no mans land as the southampton forward(could have been Steve Moran) chips the ball over his head making it 1-4.

The 500 or so City fans in the Cage had of course seen this coming and as a man all shouted "get back Joe,he's going to chip you".

Then we piled back into the car and drove home.

Quite why this has stuck in my head as my favourite memory i don't know.I suppose it's just a usual fans story.Nothing special.
