Your First Game

City - Coventry 1-1 95/96 at Maine Road. Uwe Rösler opens the scoring but Dion Dublin equalises. Niall Quinn should have had a brace. Nigel Clough signed from Liverpool for 1.5m the same week. I thought he was gonna be ace for us. It was bloody cold 3 rows from the bottom of the kippax on a cold windy January afternoon. All the same I was back for more.

Notts County @ Home late 70's early 80's, sat behind Helen the Bell Ringer as a kid that day, remember giving their goalkeeper some stick and getting clapped.

hazy memories of Maine Road
 
1999 QPR vs City at Loftus road, all I can remember was it finishing 1-1 and Super Kev scoring, was 6 at the time though!
 
1989 or 1990 away to nottingham Forrest I think. We won and I think it was 5-1. My second match was also away and he scoreline was same so I soon became a lucky mascot, also as a girl I could smuggle in the beer and not get searched by cops as there were never any female cops to search me, so happy days .........
 
city played a game in ireland quite a few years ago in dundalk, my grandad took me and swp scored the winner and he was only 18! will never forget it, i was only about 8 or 9 :)
 
5-2 at Maine Road v Spurs, 1994/1995 I think.

At my age then, almost 4, I had no chance of remembering the scorers, or other such details. Even my Dad didn't and he was 33 then, so I agree with the OP in the respect that for those of us who first went when we were very young, it does require a swift check of the scorers and such.
 
Strange one but my first game was May 6 1998. 0-0 draw with Jamaica at Maine Road. It was a World Cup warm up for them pre France 98. 4 years old at the time. Nicky Weaver's debut as well
 
Haven't a clue. I remember the first away game I ever went to. It was at Burnley. But I don't remember the first game I saw at Maine Road, or even the season.
