My 1st League game was home to Swansea City in September 1962 I was only 6 at the time but my dad thought it was important that I watched the Bluebirds beat the Jacks and we did 5 - 2.

I remember there being a terrific atmosphere and at the end my dad told me it doesn't get better than beating the jacks, boy was he right :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

The first match I have clear memories about is the CWC game against Hamburg that wasn't so much fun though. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Burnley in Division 2 in May 79. We drew 1-1, Colin Sullivan scored, and if I remember right Buchanan had a penalty saved. Loved City ever since. :ayatollah:

Same season for me Old Canton, but against the Posh and City ran out 5-2 winners. Didn't go again until the following season after our promotion and Peter Sayer knocked Spurs out of the cup.


Dorset that was mine too!!! Grandfather and Father took me!

Over 90% sure that was 2002/03 season, when we went up to the Championship.

Re: " Your first ever CITY game?? "

QPR Home (1969/70 Season). I'd settle for the same score this year as we won 4-2 that day

Re: " Your first ever CITY game?? "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:07 pm

Cardiff City 2 Luton Town 3, May 1982. We were relegated that night.

My first ever game was 1980 when Wales played Czechoslovakia in November 1980.

By the way City didn't play QPR in 1986. We layed them in the League Cup in 1988 and FA Cup in 1990.

Thanks "thejonesboy" yes the Ginger monster got us up that year! I probably started watching Cardiff at the most exciting time in it's history luckily for me. There has never been a dull moment, ups and downs, we never seem to do anything the easy way!!

Bournemouth in league cup in 93. 1 - 1 on the night, lost 4 - 2 over the two legs

Re: " Your first ever CITY game?? "

Sun Jan 23, 2011 8:19 pm

First game I went to see was on 29/12/1969. Brian Clark scored only goal in a win against the Wurzels.

http://www.statto.com/football/teams/ca ... 70/results

Second game was on 31/01/1970 where we drew 2-2 with Blackpool. Tosh had a double just before he fucked off to Liverpool for £110,000

Which is 10k more than we just paid for the beast, 40 years on. Average wages were about thirty quid a week then. Funny old world

TBH, I can't rember! it was probably in season 58-59. The opening game of 59-60 v Liverpool at NP was the first I can really remember when we won 3-2 and went on to clinch promotion to the top-flight. I've seen City in all 4 divisions at one time or another.
