I was on the kop for that game, quite close to the Forset fans.

For some reason, they had this thing where whenever anything exciting happened, they'd jiggle (it's the only way I can think to describe it) their arms in the air and shout, 'it's enough to make your arms go wooo-oooooo-oooo!' It amused me.

Anyway, my first game was a terrible 0-0 against Charlton late in the 87-88 season. The pitch was a sandpit.

 

[SkyblueSC]

Cov 3-0 Villa! Dec 1992. Quinn 2 and Rosario! Couldn’t have picked a more perfect first match!

Did we miss a penalty against forest that day , im almost certain we were in the spion kop too that day

Kilkline miss ? Feel like i remember him putting it over the bar

 

[Skyblue03]

Cov v Wimbledon 94/95 season, drew 1-1 big Dave Busst with the goal

Quite possibly. It would explain why we had two penalty takers, and it was at a time when Killer started fluffing them more often than scoring.

1980 Nov, Cov 2 Birmingham 1..hooked ever since.

What a game. I posted about that game the other day. I was corrected. It happened the day, after boxing day. I was living a lie for 40/50 yrs

Found the video tagged it into the OP , he put one wide

 

[TomRad85]

My dad took me to 2 very close together and I always have to check which was first but its easy as I know it was Swindon Towns only season in the Prem. So I just check what season they were in it and check our results for that season. It was a 1-1 draw at home to Swindon and a 1-0 win at home to Ipswich.
Google tells me the Swindon game was almost exactly a month before, 3rd Jan 1994.

Coventry 2 Derby 2 April 1st 1967

 

[trevorsathispeake]

I have Evo, 62, just turned. I really hope we go up this yr, not for me. For younger fans. Even one season.

 

[Sky Blue Heaven]

My first game was one of the great escapes on 26/05/85. The final game of the season vs Everton who were champions. We needed to win our last 3 games to stay up.

 

[Herb70]

1970 Everton. The Willie Carr, Ernie Hunt donkey kick game. I think we won 4-1

 

[RegTheDonk]

Fairly sure it was 1972 v Ipswitch, 'cause we had a penalty and I recall my dad saying "bone head" Blockley when we scored. Brought a City book a few years ago which typically I've lost and I'm pretty sure that game was on the front cover, or at least a featured photograph inside somewhere.

3-0 win over Charlton at the start of 88/89 season, I've always had a bit of a nostalgic soft spot for them since

 

[Londonccfcfan]

3-2win vs Tottenham in coca cola cup.

1995

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Coventry 1- 0 Stoke, 1970-1.

 

[StrettoBoy]

This was my first match, against Sunderland in the Fifth round of the F.A. Cup in March 1963, the month after my eighth birthday.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

15th October 1997 against Everton. My family and I had just moved back from the USA, I knew absolutely nothing about football. Our neighbours had season tickets in corporate and couldn't make the match, so offered their tickets to my dad and me.

Hard to believe everything in my life that probably wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for our neighbours at the time offering their tickets.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

1988 vs Millwall at HR. 0-0. Hooked from then on.
