I played with him at Brislington, can only imagine how good he must’ve been in his pomp. Very funny bloke too. Yeah he was a good player in his day. Worked with my Grandad on the roofs later on in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that an FA cup replay? My Dad always said was the best game he ever saw because his mate couldn’t make it Steve Claridge played for them as a youngster edit 25th October probably a bit early for fa cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taken with my friend and his dad to the game. We walked from Knowle down Novers hill, to winterstoke rd to the game and walked back up after. Hooked for life. The Oldham game was my first, I begged our dad to take me down and I've been a "glory hunter" ever since ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleRed Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Around 1963/64 aged around 5. Not sure who City were playing in those early games, but my most significant early memory was being at John Atyeo’s last game in May 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 29 years, four months, and eight days. City 2-2 Southend, and a debut goal for Dziekanowski. I remember Brett Angell being a right handful up front for them that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Since 1977. Just took it for granted that we were a top flight side at the time. It was an amazing time. There was really only one team in Bristol back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 1955 for me. Can't remember the first opponents though. The family used to go to City one week and Rovers the next. We could walk to Ashton Gate from Knowle but Rovers were a bus or 2 away. Dad couldn't afford the bus fare for us all for Rovers so I only got taken to City games. Thanks dad, my hero.

StefanDimz Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 2016 is the year I moved to Bristol from my home country Bulgaria. Fun fact my first live game was actually the Gas vs Villa preseason friendly at the Tent. I was hoping to see my fellow countryman Stilyan Petrov for the first time in action since he beat cancer. Di Matteo didn't even put him on the teamsheet, I was disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I don't remember exactly when I started to follow City - it was in the mid 1970s from my armchair and in the school playground, but I hardly went to any games until the 1980s.

Pretty much the same for me, and that game lives long in the memory. Do you also remember the testimonial against Leeds United the following season, with the Jules Rimet trophy carried round the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City exile 79 Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Mid seventies. I was 6 or 7. Don’t remember much. Dad took me as we were in Bristol visiting family while on leave. Based in Germany. Hardly missed a game home or away from 82 till late nineties.

hertsexile Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 My first game was The. Gordon Parr testimonial match in 1972 v Chelsea. So by end of next season it will be 50 years for my sins. Lots of ups and downs during that time. My dad has been a supporter since 1949 since 1972 we have been going together he gave up coming at end 19/20 season due to ill health but always looks at the results and wants a full blown report phone call after the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihai Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Unfortunately I can not call myself a supporter ( as someone said that to me on this forum ) . I am just a "fan" . A pretty long-serving based on my age. Autum 2006 was the start. I was paying sometimes for the BCFC Player back then, if that can be called a "supporting" action.
