richerella Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I too was at the West Ham drubbing. I can remember being in the East End when Clive Allen gave us the finger! Curse that swine!My first game though was home against Walsall when they beat us 3-2. Need some help here though. I can remember standing in the open end, and Walsall scored the winner by rounding our keeper and "slotting home". My Uncle went nuts as our goalkeeper had lost it in the first place, can't remember his name. Think it was 1985 so I must have been 10. I can remember being at Wembley when we beat Bolton not too long after that. I can't say "Never looked back" because I have to be honest. Dzeikanowski and Cole though - I remember that!

City Exile Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 First game I went to was against Leeds United in 1975/76 season. My old man took me & my two brothers down & stood us all on wooden stools, behind the goal in the East End. The game was called off due to fog but I was hooked from that moment.I was there at that game. All I can remember was everybody queing for tickets after the game. Cannot eally remember why.From memory - 0-0 at the time? Somebody told me at the time was had gone close - which was news to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset_Cider Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I lived in St.George surrounded by Rovers fans,when I was about 7 a neighbour gave mea red rugby shirt,I thought it was a football shirt and raced home with it to ask my brother(rovers fan)which football team played in red,luckily he said City,at that point the love affair began.Ever since I have been subjected to disappointment and under achievement but to this day I amglad my brother said that City play in red and not Man Utd or anyone elsemanc u..................... were just another team................and still are for me ......... just like that chelski lot............. just depends on your memory................?

Mr Mosquito Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Being in many ways seen as a dysfunctional type of person I feel quite at home following the greatest dysfunctional football club in England. Quite why we've underacheived for so long remains one of English football's great mysteries. Being Bristolian Bristol City FC is my club and I'd still be City if we were in the Downs league. We've also got, on the whole, the best and most patient supporters in England considering our poxy Div 3 status.Up the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Codfather 0312 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have been brought up as A City fan and had always watched the games on tele and listened on the radio. My 1st game I went to though was against Portsmouth when we we're last in What is now the Championship.As i remember I sat in the C block At the top with my late fathers cousin and his two siblings. The game as I remember it ended 2-2 or 2-1 to portsmouth. Was a fantstic game full of excitement and from then onwards I have been hooked.After that game I went to every home game including all the friendlies and cup games for the next 3-4 years.My 1st football game I ever did watch though which I am ashamed to say was A ristol Rovers game against Wallsall at the mem in the Ldv vans trophy( Can't remember what it was called back then). I only went as in school they gave away some free tickets. The game bored me to death and The next time I went back there was to watch Bristol rugby play.In my eyes i've never seen any football played there apart from when city has played there.
