Coventry 2-1 Crystal Palace
Final day of the season at HR, Peter Reids first game in charge. Konjic and Doyle scored for us, this was the year Palace were promoted with Dowie I believe.
Good times ever since
I'm convinced it was an Ajax preseason friendly, we lost 2-1, when I was either 4 or 5, but I've done some googling and found nothing, strange.
I was at the '69 games, played in the evening around Easter time, Best was playing and everytime he had the ball, the 46k crowd held it's breadth !!I think it was Manchester United at HR in 68 or 69. I am pretty sure Bobby Charlton scored and George Best was playing and might have scored. I was only 6 or 7 at the time so my memory is a little blurred!

Cracking OP BSB ,oh the naivety and Innocence.
I believe my 1st ever CCFC game was at The Brittania Stadium in Stoke on December 7th 2002. My brother (who is actually a Leciester fan) was the CCFC mascot. I remember it cus my family and my dads mate's family drove down in my dad's mate's land rover. The adults were in the front and the kids were in the boot. Anyways, i the main reason i remember it is cus on the way back i lost my favourite gameboy game (thunderbirds) lol. I think the score was 2-1 to CCFC

Coventry vs Saints in 1994. Coventry scored. I cheered. Southampton scored. I cheered.....I was only 4.:facepalm:
Hahaha, that beats mine hands down
I can remember the look on everyone's face as they turned around to look at me. My dad went a shade of red I've never seen anyone go before or since.

I was just browsing through the video section of the forum when I came across the highlights of my first City match (and first game ever), a 2-2 draw with Arsenal at home in 1999. The only things I can remember from it were being right behind the goal (East Stand I think), hearing someone complain that 'We really should've killed them off by now' (imagine us saying that against Arsenal now), and thinking that at half time everyone got up and changed seats.
How much does everyone else remember of that first trip to HR or the Ricoh?
I don't really remember dates but my first was Forest away, around 87 I think. I asked my dad to go because he was going with some mates and he said no, so I stomped my feet and had a tantrum and he changed his mind. It ended up 0-0!! Funny thing was, I remember thinking I didn't like it that much. Too many people and too loud! I don't remember a thing about the game apart from the score. The next game I went to I think was around 91, home to Luton. We won 5-0! THAT was the game that hooked me! Can't remember exactly who scored but I think Gallacher may have got a couple? And I remember thinking David Smith was excellent!
BSB, was yours the game where Paul Williams got sent off after a blatant dive by Bergkamp?
