Supported City since 1985 but 1st City game v Hereford in 1986 and City won 4-1!
1st live game - Wales v Iceland WCQ Ninian Park 1985
Best City memory - last night comes very close, but 2nd best would be the 30 mins after we beat the Wurzles in the Play Offs. Sheer elation and humiliating for the carrot crunchers as our players celebrated on their own pitch. 1st favourite would be the FA Cup Semi vs Barnsley, or more accurately, the 20 mins from the 85th minute onwards

Pantmawr Blue:- Ian Roberts from Riverside, Grangetown, Birchgrove and you guessed it Pantmawr now (same estate as Dai Hunt) who always does the ayatola for me and 12 year old son lol.

City fan since age of 5 sneaking in back of bob bank now 37 years of age.

To many great memories / stories to mention over the years a couple come to mind Maidstone away shocking along with Bury (relegation) Lincoln , Torquay , Exeter (chased all over the place lol) Took Mrs to Bristol Rovers away in rain told her we were going shopping in Bath lol.

QPR play offs , and watching son enjoy the new era including the wembley, Arsenal, villa experience - what little does he know what I went through in the days of 2000 fans watching etc (loved it got bitten by the bug) - Son being picked for cross bar challenge at WBA.

Loved players like Stant, Cohen , Searley, Perry , Blake etc

Worst moment - yesterday felt physically sick and aggressive towards PR's fraud by mis-representation.
