Who has been to the most City games on here?

Cant be bothered working my total out but my Grandad first went to Hyde Road in around 1907 & I am fairly sure his Dad my great grandad who was in the Manchester Police started going before him so including my Dad & my Brother we have been following the blues more or less since they started :-)
Amazing mate, well impressed
 
There must be loads on here that - in the 70s - after an home game - would go on a pub crawl and ensure you ended up in a pub showing match of the day

My memory was one of frustration because we were never on first (of course you can guess who was) and then the pub would close before other games were shown (I think they only used to show 2 or 3?)

The excitement of turning into Maine Road and seeing the Match of the Day cameras is a small pleasure that youngsters today would never be able to understand.

so true - they never will

what a world of difference there is in the 'fan experience'
 
Probably around 150.
First game 2-0 v Bristol City, Sept '77.
Around 12/15 home games every season, till 1990, then emigrated.
Went to the 0-1 v Luton, 5-1 v Charlton, 10-1, 5-1 v Rags, 0-4 v Gunners a couple of weeks later.
Watching on TV/ Online from Tasmania ; probably see about 10-15 games live per season. Stay up or get up for 1 AM / 2 AM KO's for big 6 / heavyweight games. . . plus also the Manc derby. Watch the rest recorded later in the week.

NEVER , EVER left before the final whistle . . . apart from one occasion at Maine Rd. , an officer of Manchesters finest helped me find my way to the exit two minutes after entering the ground , for "disorderly conduct" (vs Scouse, League Cup, Reeves headed goal disallowed .c '81?)

In a pub in Melbourne a few years back. Asked the barman "Can ya put the football on please , mate?"
"Yeah, sure mate, what game ya wanna see ?"
"City and West Ham" (. . .or whoever 'twere )
. . . .pause. Barman GLARES.
"OK, mate, let's straighten something out here ; this is VICTORIA. The word FOOTBALL here means
AUSSIE RULES. Have we got that straight now?"
Oops moment.
"OK, my sincere apologies ; I must pay more attention in my language lessons. Could I please watch the SOCCER ? "
"Sure, mate , no prob, I'll put it on for ya"

Another time, another pub , still in Melbourne. . .

Watching Us v Norwich , 2-6 @ Carrow Rd. (2013?) . Another Pom sat close to me said
"Tevez is a whore!"
"He might be a whore , but he's OUR whore! . . . "
A few seconds passed, Carlito slammed in a cracker
". . . and he's the best bloody WHORE on the STREET!"
We both had a good laugh
