I was at that game and it was 1971and i was just 11 years old seem to remember Leeds won 7-6
think my very first game was either 69 or 70 but can't remember against who although i know the opposition wore Claret & Blue so it was either Villa or Burnley i think
It was to lead to 40 + years of excitement, disappointments, joy, sorrow, happiness, misery, raised expectations and dashed hopes along with mad mad away trips loads of aggro and 3 trips to Wembley including the FA Cup Final which i never thought i would see in my lifetime
City till i die

1961 - Wales v England. Then 1962 for first City match. Beat WBA 3-2 (I think), but still relegated from top flight of course!
Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:58 pm
Might have gone before this but from what i can remember my first time was against West Ham in the Carling Cup 2003. We lost 2-3 and I think I remember Earnie scoring and singing into the microphone
Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:10 pm
Cardiff v Northampton in 2001 we won 2-0. That was my first time
Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:13 pm
21.10.1967
- Wales 0 v England 3. Sat on a barrier in the Bob Bank ( no seats). Going out, the crowd kept coming forward when the front had stopped - I couldn't breathe in the crush
and my Dad and his mate were like wild things making space for me.....
Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:47 pm
not sure of the opponents but it was a mild autumn/winter mid-week evening kick off, we stood in among the away fans on the grange end, (all kicked off once we scored ☺ ) dont think there was a roof then either, about 1983/84 what year did we get Wokenham in the cup and the Pompy clock fell, that was my inaugural year \☺/ <☺> \☺/

Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:12 pm

Mon Sep 05, 2011 3:40 pm
1978 v Notts County. Lost 3-2.
Buchanan scored an absolte screamer. Hooked ever since!
I remember having to get there early every game so that I could sit on the barriers on the Bob Bank!

1982 season though dont recall the opponents. i was 7 and remember being totally in awe of the whole experience.oh and i remember the open roofed toilets in the bob bank
Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:33 pm
Plymouth at home in 1993, we lost 3-2 but I was totally hooked. The crowd was only about 7,000 but what an atmosphere.I loved that team with Eddie May in charge. It's cost me a fortune over the years travelling down from Scotland but I've never regretted it.
Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:52 pm
Real Madrid at home i think we won that one
First League game a year later "Deggsy Showers missed an open goal in front of the proper" Grange End" we won "2-1.
First full season the Alston/Evans seasosn.
All together now
TONY EVANS WALKS ON WATER LALALALAH LAH LAH LAH!
Mini Siad Hooked after Thornie patted him on head after scoring

Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:00 pm
My first game was with my brother! He had to look after me it was a day after my mothers birthday i think and she went away and my brother took me down where we won 1-0 Jobi Mcanuff on the last day of the 2004/2005 season!
But im not sure if it was against Reading or Qpr!
If anyone would help me tell me if it was Reading or Qpr my next game then was Arsenal Fa Cup i loved my time watching that one game but my brother had college and stopped going for a while and my parents work all the time so i could never go down but my brother got me a ticket for Arsenal in January 2009 and got into it more!
