What was your first game (25 Viewers)

[Shannerz]

Now I remember that Handball completly differently !

I'd forgotten it; I remembered we went down to 9, but couldn't remember who was sent off or why.

I can remember their keeper's own goal, and the expression on his face afterwards, clear as day, though.

Although I had been going semi regularly since 72 that was the first game I actually remember attending. We were also sat there - from my memory - and never sat there again.

Same. The next season we were in the West Stand, then in subsequent years; I stood on the East Terrace (nr the scoreboard) and then latterly in the West Terrace.

Had a m8 who sometimes had a spare ticket in the Directors Box…

I think my first few games watching city at HR were all draws and the first win i saw was against Middlesbrough in late december 1996 , we won 3-0 and i remember it because it was very cold and my old man slipped forward a couple rows when we scored ..

Great team Middlesbrough had back then, I always pretended to be Ravaneli in the back Garden... untill the neighbours complained about me flashing my belly all the time

When i went with my dad it was in the Sky Blue Stand and then when going with mates we flitted between the West End and Kop.

I had my photo taken at a game (not sure which one), and it was used in the 1964 edition of the Children's Encyclopedia Brittanica, under the "A" section for "Association Football". I only found out when we were in the school library and one of my classmates yelled, "It's Baz! Look!" . And there I was, full page, full face close-up, black & white glossy photo, wearing a woolly balaclava and looking totally bored! I've since tried to find a copy but apart from buying all volumes at a silly cost, I've not had any luck!

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

Feb 1975. My uncle took me for my 4th birthday. Remember the opposition wore navy blue and having checked, we played Ipswich on 22nd so I think that itt must have been then.

 

[ceetee]

I honestly can't remember but it would have been 1959 ot 60

It's good to know that we have famous people amongst our supporters.

I hope you got a good deal for your image rights

My old man doesn’t seem to know mine. Lousy.

On the one page team sheet they’d print out m8

Hi Stretto I take it you were born in Feb 1955 as was I

Just a pair of kids hahahha, I was born June 54 and as best I can remember my first game was a Boxing Day game in about 1960 with my Dad and Brother -in-law, who used to take us. My first game on my own/pals was in 1966 aged 12.

 

[steveo1987]

1973 season for me, I was 5, don't remember it proper until probably 78ish hence my heroes being Wallce, Ferguson, Hunt, Ferguson..funnily enough, I went to Ernesford Grange, my best mate at the time Tony Dobson played for Cov and made a decent career, we knocked around as kids and teenagers.

Just had a quick google on that set of encyclopedia and they're going for a couple of hundred quid! Don't think I'll bother just for one volume needed for one photo!

 

[nicksar]

I can't remember the exact first game but I do remember having a sky blue rattle with "Hudson" painted on it so best guess is 1963 when I was 9 years old.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

1977 Bristol city at-home , always thought we won 2-1 but it was a 1-1 draw . I was 5 years old and fell in love with Highfield Road

 

[Danceswithhorses]

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.
