At city at the moment they are trying to get fans to write in about there first ever game at city. As at the moment everyone loves the club, i was thinking we could do something on here. i guess i will start the ball rolling.

My first ever game was the semi final against wigan at Burnden park. As i been to watch Bolton the previous night and it rained for about 3 days. The weather was awful but the atmosphere was the best. didnt go to plan especially as i think it was Darren Bloor and Gibbo went for the same ball and it went straight to a wigan player. it seems from then i would always be hooked on Salford. cue other first game memories

cannot remember my first ever game but it was before the north stand was built ,my dad used to take me and my two brothers ,there used to be a tea hut where the north stand is now ,this was in the sixties , iam 45 now and still go to most games , the team of the seventies stand out the most to me especially , watkins , fielding gill , nash dixon ,coulman , god they really were great times

still dreaming even in them days , have i told you the one about a very close game at celtic ,


keep the faith

I'm that ancient, I can't remember which team it was against, but it was probably around 1967 or 1968, when I was 6 or 7 years old.

Can't remember but it was early 70's and I'd have been about 5 years old. My earliest memories are seeing the programmes after the stand burnt down. The earliest game I can remember was the Premiership final against Sts at Station road. Had a few years off but first game back was semi against Wigan at Burnden.

I'm somewhat of a latecomer to the game, having only been watching since 2006. Living in Chorlton/Stretford I never really got into League at a young age and had only heard of the likes of Offiah, Henry and Robbie Paul, etc.

Was in university and one of my housemates was a Bradford fan (despite coming from East Anglia) and he got me into it, along with pretty much everyone else in the house (Last year me and my former housemate who also had never watched league before uni even went to about 5 NRL games and an Origin game when travelling in Oz)

Was back home after the end of a term and suggested to my Dad, who lives in Salford, that we go down to The Willows. We were playing against Huddersfield and I think I remember it absolutely pissing it down, along with thunder and lightning, and we absolutely took them apart. Loved it and we've been going ever since.

I remember that game too as it was my first season of going, although it wasnt my first game (I really cant remember who that was against). I remember it mainly because there was a bit of crowd trouble at it and as a kid I was scared to death. That is why I always feel bad when kids see similar things now.

My first game was in about 1957/8.There was the big green tea hut at one end and a mound where the clubhouse is with a small scoreboard.Dont remember all the team, but there was a bloke called Jones with a bald head and I think Bryn Hartley and Frankie Dodd.

cant remember exact game but it was in 1975 my husband brought me to my 1st game and have been going ever since,all i can remember was it was very cold back then. he tells me his 1st game was 1965 against Swinton we lost 34-6 and the willows variety Centre was still under construction.
