Who Was The Manager When You First Watched / Started Supporting City?

[Eddie Hitler]

I've left out the really short-lived managers before anybody points out my mistake, pick the nearest manager.

Votes aren't public, and no multiple choice.

[glynriley]

Alan Dicks

[Super]

Who's been supporting for 50 years?! Fair play that man!

[Keith_Lemon]

Where's Sam Hollis?

[DOLMANDAN]

Alan Dicks

[GodEmperor Palpatine]

Towards the end of Terry Coopers reign.

['Orns]

The fantastic TC, think it was against Exeter that the crowd turned on him one day....I don't think anyone really wanted to do it, but his time was up. Was horrible, the bloke should have a statue at the new ground / redeveloped AG in my eyes

[Bobby kellard hero]

Peter Doherty

[Swindon8er]

Osman, my first game was a Coca Cola cup tie V Notts County lot 0-1 on a horrible Tuesday night, god knows how I got hooked from that, Joe Jordan took over halfway through the season.

[Super]

TC for me. Days of Riley, Neville, Walsh.

[EASTEND WURZEL]

i'm affraid the manager is NOT listed the first time i went to the gate with my dad ROY HODGSON was in charge, he was assitant manger to Bobby Houghton and took over when he left , But the manager i really remember well was Terry Cooper he was also a great player even at that time.

I have said before that the club ought to acknowledge long standing supporters. they give a cap when you start. Could be invited to a Hospitality day when you get to 30/40/50 years. least they cold do.

Alan Dicks

TC for me. Days of Riley, Neville, Walsh.

Yep same here for me.

Feel sorry for the poor bugger who started following when Millen was in charge. How are you still here?

[You Do The Dziekanowski]

Nobody watched us in our decline then, Seems about right

I read that as your dad is Roy Hodgson ... Gotcha now tho

I'm a Joe Jordan baby and his second spell was when I first started going down

[glynriley]

You mean nobody started watching us. We were certainly watching.

[Gazred]

So to clarify, Eastend Wurzel is NOT Roy Hodgson's son, but you are Joe Jordan's?

[Eddie Hitler]

I'm not surprised at the absence of votes for Bobby Hougton, not because of him but because of the state of the club at the time. Who would think to start going then?

[Always Believesham]

So to clarify, Eastend Wurzel is NOT Roy Hodgson's son, but you are Joe Jordan's?

I have succeeded in being equally as cryptic then ... No not actually Joe Jordan's lad

[madmax]

Terry Cooper. I remember walking out of school and walking past an Evening Post board outside the newsagents to say he'd been sacked. Ran home and cried.

Yeah that's what I meant, 1980-82 the start of the Bristol Mancs/Chelski/Scousers the sad thing is that is probably correct

[Gazred]

Damn, we actually though you were Andy Jordan for a moment

[glynriley]

Yeah that's what I meant, 1980-82 the start of the Bristol Mancs/Chelski/Scousers the sad thing is that is probably correct

As Eddie Hitler has said above, it's hard to see that era as one people would actively start watching.

I can't see that we're drawing in too many 'new' fans at the moment for example.

[Atticus]

John ward, when I first started to properly support city

[You Do The Dziekanowski]

As Eddie Hitler has said above, it's hard to see that era as one people would actively start watching.

I can't see that we're drawing in too many 'new' fans at the moment for example.

So the new football fans would chose the 'Big Teams' because they love glory

Hence why 1980-82 would've been the start of the Bristol based Big Club fans

Ah, memories.

Nobody yet for Gary Johnson? That's really surprising, I got the impression that we had gained loads of fans then because for much of his tenure they were great times.

Edit: ok 3 now, but I was expecting loads.

[Always Believesham]

I can't see that we're drawing in too many 'new' fans at the moment for example.

Thing is, we were mostly very young when we started following City - I know 5, 6 & 7 year olds are very much more competent with technology but I can't see many joining the forum - the latest probably from the Johnson days really others would be an anomoly

[Port Said Red]

Fred Ford, with players like Johnny Quiqley, Alan Skirton, Chris Crowe, Gordon Parr, etc.
