What was your 1st ever game and what do you remember?

[CITY FOR LIFE]

My first ever game was Apr 75 v Birmingham, I think it was 3-1, I was taken by a friend and his Dad, we stood on the corner between the Kippax and North Stand.
Didn't realise that many people lived in Manchester when I saw the Kippax Stand.

My next game was 75-76 v Licester City Weds Night 1-1, and that was it for the next 30+ years.

Looking across the Kippax on the Sat afternoon and thinking , who are all them people.

My first game was 78-79 (I think) against forest. Sat in platt lane with me dad. We won 1-0 with kazi deyna scoring the goal ( hence the name ).

My dream is to get to the CC final so I can take my dad and finally repay the favour.

Ps: song for the lap of honour after the CC final

" 20 minutes and won f**k all,
City is our name "

QPR at Maine Road, last day of the 94-95 season.

I remember the walk to the ground seemed like miles. I'd never seen so many people before so it was exciting. I remember going through the concourse which seemed so dark and old and up into the light as we entered the stand. This wave seemed to come over me as we stepped into the light. It was amazing.

I remember people singing 'if you hate Man United clap your hands'. Of the game I seem to remember John Burridge pretty much being knocked into the net by a Les Ferdinand pile-driver. I don't remember our goals.

After the game I remember being stuck in traffic for quite a long time.

FAC tie at Gigg Lane, Bury in the early 1970's.

I remember one of the stewards coming up to my Aunt and telling her to "Get the little girl out of here, this lot could turn nasty."

Can remember the older (mainly lads in their late teens/early twenties) City fans stomping their feet on something (heard it rather than saw it) and then walking through the car park outside after we lost.

To this day I don't know if there were cars overturned or whether someone rumoured it after and the picture became real in my child's mind.
