When did you start following City?

[TivvyBlue]

Never had a choice from birth due to my Dad, despite living in Devon. First season I can remember properly is 01-02. First game was a friendly away at Tranmere in 2002 which we won 7-1 (I've looked plenty of times for info on this but can't seem to find much!) - it was Eric Nixon's testimonial. First league game was the 3-0 win over Sunderland at Maine Road in which Marc Vivien-Foe scored the last City goal there. God we've been treated since.

You must be an old git like myself then,us oldies have to stick together :)

born in 19- 42 went to st marks school west gorton, used to go every other week to watch the last bit of the match, when the gates opened, , remember the bloke who had a flag or a banner, walked up and down shouting " your all doomed " used to be known as a god botherer, had a laugh with him every match, " your doomed<" never mind that are we going to win " we used to say to him. p.s. i am worse NOW , than when we were shite,!

Around 1979 for me . All my family ( dad uncles cousins ) supported other halve . But the next door neighbour and his son (same age as me at time 8 ) had spare season ticket in north stand that I used to use . That’s it I was a blue . Made sure my brothers became blues and now my son nephews niece . Got me 1st season ticket around 1983 and been going ever since south stand level 3

Late 1950s. City related anecdotes in my Autobiography "Trains, Planes and Computers" and sometimes on Bluemoon.

City v Southampton FA Cup match in 2007.

Was about 16/17 at the time but none of my family were into football growing up. This was my first live football match I’d ever been to and that was that.

Didn’t we go 1-0 down and then come back to win 3-1? I’ve not Googled that. Pure memory.

I think I’ve answered this already but I went with a friend back in 1998 as I wanted to see Maine Road. I was a huge Oasis fan and they’d played iconic gigs there. We beat Blackpool 3-0 and I was hooked. Been some journey since.
