Your First Game

My first match was this one and i can remember every painful minute

Mine was at Maine Road, against West ham. Sat behind the goal in the North Stand with my Dad. Can't remember the score but I'm sure Nial Quinn got the winner for us and Iain Dowie scored for them. I also remember they had a third choice, very young keeper
 
Other than the odd reserve team at the start of the season it was City at home to Stoke just before Christmas 1967, sat on the front row of the Platt Lane. All I remember was that it was a massive day for me, City won and I was freezing.
 
First live game at Maine Road was December 8th 1984 - a 2-0 victory over Notts County in what was Div 2 at the time (translates to 'The Championship' for the youngsters on this forum).

The game was memorable for what is still one of the greatest goals I've ever witnessed - a 45 yard dipping volley from Jim Melrose right into the roof of North Stand goal.

I thought it was going to be like that every week !!!
 
Portsmouth away in 97/98. Pretty sure we won 3-0 and Rosler and Kinkladze scored, no idea who got the other. Don't remember any in depth details about the match, just stuff my dad has told me. My first home game was against Oxford later that season, which i remember absolutely nothing about but have since discovered we lost 2-0.
 
I'm 13 and although I had been to games before the first one I can remember going to was against Liverpool at home in 2005, Kiki Musampa scoring the winner!
 
I was too young to remember my first game unfortunately - It would of been about 1983 - i would have been 4 at the time. My dad worked for GM Buses who used put on travel for various supports clubs and my dad (and me) would get in for free. I don't remember seeing much of the game becasue i was so small as we were always in the stands.
 
Too young to remember around 1980 at the age of six.

Remember images of seeing Arsenal but first real memory was hitting Norwich for six in the FA Cup Final run.

The first derby game I was allowed to attend was 1985 when Mick McCarthy scored with that header.

Only 30,000 there that day, can't remember why.

Because City introduced some wierd voucher scheme for that game, and a couple of others v Chelsea and (I think) Leeds, to prevent crowd trouble. there was a voucher given to buy tickets for all three a few weeks before at the turnstile.

And it was live on telly too.
 
Leeds 1974. Watched it from halfway up one of the support stantions in the Kippax where my dad told me to climb up to avoid the crush against the barriers. Remember walking out after the game and seeing it kicking off everwhere and in perticular a Leeds fan was getting a good kicking. A woman driving a car pulled up and shouted towards a policeman nearby who told her to wind her window up and drive on.
 
October 1994 for me against Tottenham. We won 5-2 against Ossie Ardiles and Klinsmann's Spurs. We were sat in the 'under construction' Kippax with no roof, in the pissing down rain with a crane dripping on us. Great game and I will never forget it
 
very vague memories of it but i think it was in the 1990/1991 season at maine road

norwich at home 2-0 win, can anyone comfirm this?
 
haven't a scooby, but i've recently found my first ever shirt, it says 3/4 years and my dad reckons he bought it for me around the time i started going.

Was it this one (it was 2-1 rather than 2-0 though)?

Can't remember mine really but it was around 1955/1956 and, do not shoot the messenger, in those days I went to City one week and United the next. Couldn't afford many away matches then and had to give up attending when I had my children because I couldn't afford it then either, although I did attend the occasional match with them. So coming back to actually attending matches 10 years ago has been like going back to my youth!! Especially all the away matches and the European travel.
 
Never had to look this up anywhere as it's always been indellibly etched in my memory.

Last match of 1958/9 season. Leicester at home and City had to win to stay in Div 1. Typical City went 1-0 down, but came storming back to win 3-1. Scorers were Joe Hayes, Billy McAdams & Ray Sambrook. I was hooked.
My Dad sat me up on a crush barrier in the Scoreboard End and I couldn't believe how huge Maine Road seemed.

In those days teams used the same kit all season, washing it each week, and I remember that Leicester's change kit was red & white. As it was the end of the season the kit had obviously been washed so many times that the colours had run. Thus they actually played in red with PINK edgings.

Those were the days !
