MattWSM Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 With Jubilee in mind, how many years service for Citys longest serving fans Taking it from the first time you attended a City game at AG or away, how many years are you at now. My first game was v Liverpool at AG in Dec 78, so Im at 43 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extonsred Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 64 yrs but no way can I remember first game! Do remember some fantastic Atyeo games but none more so than the double Easter fixtures over Shrewsbury to clinch promotion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you still in the womb or was it your first week out in the fresh air? And the only forward not to score was wearing number 11. Jantzen Derrick. The City crowd were urging on the Chichester amateurs to get at least one goal. @nick jones of hereford Edited June 4, 2022 by cidered abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I’m a fag paper off 60. Can’t remember my first game as I was so young but I know I was five, so, 55 years of service, slightly insane and still a shareholder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 First game, December 76 at home against Leeds United, which was abandoned due to fog. Last season was my silver jubilee (25th year of having a season ticket), but unfortunately haven't renewed as I'm abdicating to Hampshire. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately, all my family were Rovers supporters (I don’t hold it against them) so I couldn’t watch a City match until I was able to make my own way to the ground. This was about 1960, though I can’t remember the date or the match. Although I lived in Kingswood it wasn’t a problem getting to there as, in those days, there were bus “specials” that ran from all over the City directly to Ashton Gate.

1960maaan Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 First game of the season 1970, City 4 Sun'land 3 Though I think I saw a friendly Vs Go Ahead Deventer or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Feb 69 my first game, so I'm not the longest serving member on here. In 1976 the EP wrote "For the first time in their life time, fans will be able to watch City in the first division". Several pensioners wrote in stating they had been there for the 1909-10 season. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattredrobin Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm unsure of my actual 1st game but I was when I was 4 in 1989.....my dad said to my mum he'd never take me again 32 years later were still going together, my earliest memory is when we'd just sold super Bob Taylor and the fans signing his name.
