Macclsfield 17th Feb 1998 on my 7th birthday. We won 4-1 and I have loved it ever since. Been waiting all my city life for this moment to see our club in the top flight and competing on the big stage. I've grown up with all my friends supporting the big clubs and this has been a great moment for me regardless of what has happend off the field this season :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

when you've been supporting them for so long it makes you cherish these moments and it means so much to you!

a game that stands out for me is gillingham away boiling hot day fighting relegation and paul parry pops up with a header for a 6 pointer!


they also had no water or any drink in the ground and we were all dying :lol:

I started actively supporting City in the mid 1990's and have been a season ticket holder for over 11 years.

Prior to that, I would always have 'supported' City against anyone else, but it doesn't really count as I did not actively attend.

Mind, I was in school in the Swansea area back in the early 80's when everyone around me jumped on Toshack's Jack bandwagon, but I always held to the fact that my loyalties were to City :ayatollah:

09/1/2003 at approx. quarter past 5. I had sausage and mash with gravy that day. Good choices all round that day. :old:

I had been to games for years before on and off but it was during that season I got proper into it and was going and could afford to go on a consistent basis so I class myself a true supporter since then.

Since a mate took me to Ninian Park in the 06/07 season, wet Tuesday night and Steve Thompson grabbed a late winner v Southampton. Sat in the bob bank and remembered thinking the atmosphere was unbelievable.

when did you start supporting the bluebirds? :ayatollah:


April 1969 Cardiff 0 Huddersfield 2. Ten years old and me and a friend went on Morris coaches from Pencoed, who used to run City home coaches. And my mother didn't have a clue I had gone, you could do almost anything in them days and not have to worry. I was hooked from then on.
