That is where I saw my 1st game from too v Liverpool in August 1973. It was a night match and as an 8 year old I was instantly hooked.
My Grandad used to go with his Dad in the 1930’s and watched Clarrie Bourton. He used to tell a story often about when they played Luton and 10 goal Payne, the Luton striker I think. He said his Dad got into a row with with an away fan and pushed him down the bank. Must have been the beginnings of The Legion

1972 - Coventry vs Manchester City , Dennis Mortimer scored , it was 1-1 .
I remember my brother going to see us against United a couple of weeks earlier, when Best and Charlton scored when we lost 2-3 at home.
My one chance to see those 2 play together and it went to my brother who had pretty much zero interest in the game.
Mortimer was probably the first player i really admired as a kid, and his departure up the road is probably the reason ive always disliked villa

"Up The Bantams" was popular according to a quick A.I. search.My grandad went in the 30s too, don’t know who he went with though. Would love to know what songs there were in those days
I'm certain "if you want a Cathedral We've got one to spare" was never sung

‘Brawl, brawl wherever you may be geographically located, we are the squires from Coventry, we shall severely rough you up’
My Grandad played in goal for city during the 1919-20 season, albeit for only 3 games....
Not sure I should be admitting this, given they were infamously shite.....

I’ve got that programme at home but have no recollection of the game. Was probably being an annoying 7 year old arsehole to my dad
Now in my mid 50s, i vividly remember as a kid, walking up those long steps to the Spion Kop end, and thinking how green the grass was, and how bright the floodlights were....innocent times.

'I think I speak not only for myself but the greater gathered here today when I (we) celebrate the undoubted and endowed magnificent tactical knowledge of Mr Harry Storer,
for he's a jolly decent chap who knows just what we need,
Mr Mason at the back, Mr Clarrie in attack,
for we are surely soon to be rewarded with elevation to a superior league.

First game I was taken to: Nuneaton Borough v Cov 1983 - Testimonial match for someone, George Best played for Nuneaton!
First game at Highfield Road - Pretty sure it was a reserve team game v Burnley. The company my Dad worked for at the time had one of those pitch-level boxes where all you could see where the player's ankles. Dad used to take me to HR 4/5 times a season after that (he stopped working for that company) and we used to sit in the West Stand.
First game on my own - Chelsea 1991. Stood on the Kop. Micky Gynn scored the only goal of the game.
