I think it was some time in the 1966/68 season. Seem to remember we were pretty crap. At 14/15 I got hooked on the buzz in the Cow Shed.

First game was New Year's Day 1983 against Newport. Taken by my on leave from RAF Uncle with my cousin. Stood down the St James Road end as was his habit apparently back then. Lost 1-0 although all I really remember was Len Bond being stretchered off near the end.

Interest started from there and first regular season was 1984/85 aged 7/8 with my Mum and Gran who had both supported City since the sixties when my Uncle was introduced to City by his uncle I believe. They generally went along with him as my grandad wasn't interested back then.

It's a continual annoyance that i don't remember my first match. It would've been early 80s though.

1968,we lived in st Thomas and my uncle was a keen sports fan,he usee to frequent the dog racing at the county ground and always used to pop in on a Friday,one day he asked if why like to go to watch city,yes please I said and that was it ! (My dad took me to a couple of rugby games at the county ground but it didn’t interest me,but the football was a different matter)

Wondering if I'm on a different planet
February 1948. Went to see the great Tommy Lawton playing for Notts Co. Sat on the wall between the Big Bank and the Cowshed. Big disappointment as Tommy was ill and didn't play!
