Amigos, i'll give this one a go...

My journey into the realms of Citeh fandom has been an altogether indirect one.

My first ever game was (I think), Everton-Chelsea at Goodison Park when I was maybe 6 or 7. My uncle is a big Toffees fan, so took me and my cousin to a few of the games. I loved those years, up until I was about 11, when the Marines called him back ‘darn sarf’ for a few years.

I remember being a bit gutted that I couldn’t attend anymore matches, but then another Uncle, a City fan, bought be a Junior Blues membership with which you’re entitled to two free tickets to a game. My first time at Maine Road was a pissy midweek game against a team I cant remember in Division 2, 1999 Season. It was dull, wet and windy, I even think it was a 0-0 draw. I remember thinking what a bag of shit it was, wishing I was back in Goodison but at the same time not wanting to let my dad, or uncle down. (Apologies if you thought I was going to give one of these ‘I knew right then where my heart belonged – I was 11 ffs!)

Needless to say ’99 turned out to be a decent year for us, and after the initial shock of learning what it meant to support ‘typical city’ and becoming accustomed to the mindless shit from my rag/dipper mates at school, it wasn’t hard to see that we were, in fact, the best team in all the land in all the world.

12 years on from my initiation into the shit ridden rollercoaster of Manchester City football club, things are looking up. They’ve given me some of the best days of my life, and some pretty rubbish ones too, but I wouldn’t swap any of them for even a sniff of the success those twats down the road have had, for it’s given me the thick skin, and most of all the appreciation for what’s about to come.

For me, there's only one team worth supporting in the land, and thats our team. I fu-hucking LOVE City.

Im now a season ticket holder in the East Stand and a regular attendee at Mary D’s before matched. Im the one with the City top on with a beer in my hand. Come say hello.

And lovely to be on the forum with you ‘orrible lot.

Welcome aboard Yffi. For some reason your username made me think you are Welsh.

I post and lurk occasionally.

Local S/T holder since '75 and regular beforehand. Regular away as well through the '80's; now occasional. Old man gone since before war; Grandad stood on Hyde Road from pre first world war and went for the majority of his adult life. His pal was Eric Brook. My lads are 4th generation and s/t since 2001.

Monumental Wembley days in 1970, 74, 76, 81, 81, Stiff Members 85, Play Off final 99 and Semi and Final last season. Other great away days at Chelsea '83 (Jimmy Tolmie), West Ham relegation game '87 and Millwall '87 (Tony Adcock). Great homes....them all!

God bless Manchester City Football Club. The only football team to come from Manchester.

Hi everyone. My name is Ivan, been supporting City since around 2004. I live in Serbia, at the moment, had a lot of fun with City fans while I was living in Madrid, watching games in pubs.
I have been following EPL since the mid nineties, never liked the scum, always hated liverpool, chelsea as well. Few teams were kinda close to my heart like Crystal Palace, Millwall, but all for the wrong reasons. Kinda liked Arsenal in a way. Always liked City, but something happened around 2004. and The club really grew on me.
It takes a special sense of humor, I think, to be a City supporter, and me has plenty )

Used to play football, my old man was in Yugoslavia youth national team, owned a couple of football related websites, worked as a football journalist for a while.

Few things can keep me away from telly when City is on, last year I missed two games only. Bunch of my friends are fuckin rags, only because of Vidic, they know nothing about united, manchester or EPL but they like slagging City off anytime any place. Dont even bother anymore...
Also, the press here is totally the same as in UK, bunch of fuckin rags sucking their own dicks on EPL tv shows.

I like punk music, among others, and supporting City is kinda punk to me...well, it used to be, anyway.

Dont post too much, read alot, and fucking hate "fans" who can not handle defeat or even draws, and start calling for Mancini's head when we don't win.

Hope I could make it to the game against the scum in April.

cheers.

The thing about Chelsea in the 80's was that you needed extra special eyesight to see the action 100 yards away across that sand bank ... oh that was the pitch

As someone has already said,
What a great idea for a thread,
On here I tend to lurk,
But remember Jason Van Blerk,
I had a stack of Paul Power pics,
And first skipped to Maine rd in '76,
My love for City grows,
Equally with the highs and the lows,
I was there when the football was drab,
The pace of an old Neil McNab,
I travelled the country quite gladly,
To marvel at Georgi Kinkladze,
And boy did we all love a trier,
A long throw in by big Spencer Prior,
For all of the things we were lackin,
We beat Spurs 4-3 with John Macken,
And now I think back with some pride,
Of my days in the wet of Moss Side,
I think of just where we have come,
Did I mention my hate for the Scum,
Today its a sure fire bet,
I'm on Mancityfans.net.

Be Blue, Be Proud, Be Humble But Loud.

I'm lurking on this site far too much for my own good. Sometimes it feels like I know some of you guys more than my friends. Which is sick. Just sick. I try to post from time to time but I'm not that bright and actually enjoy just following the soap that is mancityfans.net. Some of you guys take this site and especially yourselves far too serious but that is also what makes the site fun to visit.

Cityger is one of the smartest people on this site, which is strange, because you dont want him to be. Carl is one of the funniest, although this whole "I am a cunt therefore I am"-routine is a bit dull. Slim's detoriated into a parody of his sarcastic self and I do not know how many friends NQDP has made up to strengthen his position in various arguments. Probably a thousand by now. BiB is a living proof that intelligence and IQ does not nececarilly match and PBL is just redecilous. Arjan should post more.

This post became more of a "me and mancityfans" post but then again, I have not got near enough as good stories about my citysupport as some of you guys have. I started following City at the same time I started following football, about 2006. I've always liked underdogs with big hearts but I never loved one like i do with City. I managed to get a ticket to the Wembley final and what I liked the most was the time after the celebrations. Seeing all of these old guys (and some women) walking out with tears in their eyes and beaming with bliss was one of the best moments in my life. Sometimes there is... I dont know.... divine justice. These guys spent so many years watching shit and getting snidy remarks by their retarted scum mates but in the end it paid off. That feeling.... I dont know... Im just envious. I caught on too late.

I think it says alot about the big egos on this site that this thread is mostly filled with old posters with thousands of posts under their belt.
