Midlands Robin Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Aug 1992 City v Sunderland. I gave my mate @Buster Footman's T shirt a call and he said he was going to the match and did I want to go? That was the beginning of almost 30 years of supporting including time as a season ticket holder when time and money allowed. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly and the journey continues. CTiD.

Reigate Red Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Sometime in the late 60's certainly have no idea of the team. Used to walk down to AG with my dad and stand at the front of the enclosure balancing on the concrete at the base of the railings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickybee Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi All - I’m a long time reader of the forum but never posted so this great thread seemed the best place to start. March 1975 aged 6 for me at home vs Millwall, won 2-1 - think Keith Fear scored both but might have been just the one. Went with my Dad who I badgered to take me after he came back from the previous home game against Oldham and I found the programme in his pocket Can still remember the feeling when I saw the pitch for the first time and don’t know about you guys but I still get that feeling now when entering the grounds - never goes away. Anyway, glad I’ve made my first post - might not wait so long to make my next one COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpexile Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 My 1st game was with my grandad to watch Patchway in the late 50's possibly 1960. I was only a 12 yr old nipper then but was taken to see my dads beloved Rovers shortly afterwards, that scarred me for life. Living in Oz I haven't had many chances but did see City v Liverpool, City when Nicky Maynard played his 1st game & the last I saw was against Di Canios Swinedon. A lot of catching to do do.

RedM Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 My best friend at school was French. Her brother was a lot older than her and had part ownership of a French restaurant on Whiteladies Road. All the City players and management used to eat there quite a lot. My friend hated football but knew I liked it and she got tickets through her brother. My parents wouldn’t let me go to a match on my own, my Dad used to go occasionally but didn’t want to take me, football wasn’t for girls. But I did go, I went to several First Division matches and other matches over a couple of seasons. My friend persuaded a chef (and friend) to go with me, he loved football too. He was about 21 and the big brother I never had. Trouble is he hardly spoke a word of English!!! *THAT* was my first experience of Bristol City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
