When / why did you become a City fan?

1969 Cup final highlights at my grans house Sunday after the match.
First game was at Maine Road 1978 against Leeds in a 3/0 win.

Manchester City v Leeds United 1978/79 – City Til I Die

1963 Dad took me to City v Utd 1-1 Alex Harley became my hero as he scored...May have already left when Quixall equalised from the spot.

My best mate and I chose City. At some point he changed to Derby County, thankfully I stayed a blue. First city game, Mum took me to WHL in the mid 70’s.

Like most I presume. I didn't really have a choice.
I actually got told I wouldn't get fed if I wasn't..and that was by my gran! A proper gorton battleaxe.

Born into it, like many others. First season I was able to go to games with my mate was the 85/86 season.

I was never really into football but the Sheikh rang me with what he called a small job, find him a hobby, something to take his mind off work. He only wanted to spend a few million so I thought what not buy a football club. The rest as they say is history and as a result I started supporting you, ergh us.

Growing up in Stockport in the 70s with two older brothers (one city, the other utd) it was a battle between the two to see who could get me on their side. In 1977 my eldest brother took me to see my first game, it was Colin Bells comeback. I only really remember freezing my nads off sat on the Platt Lane benches that day. Over the next few years I was taken along to more and more games.

As a result of the ball ache process of getting cup final tickets in ’81 we decided to get season tickets from 81/82 onwards. This would avoid us needing to piss about cutting out and collecting tokens in programmes to qualify for future cup finals.

Anyway .. to cut a long story short, after many years of glorious football and endless success in early September 2008 (one week after some arab geezer bought the club) I packed up and moved over to Germany to start my new life.

Have I missed much?

I am still 50 50.
I cannot commit until we have won CL.
