Where you live and history of supporting City (with Poll)

If I found Fordy sat at the side of my bed I'd want to know how things had got so horribly wrong

 

He was born 2nd November 1955. He went to a Roman Catholic primary school , not sure which one off the top of my head tho ?

 

Whats his name , and i'll ask . Got an unbelievable memory my dad .

 

Born 17 Cornwall Terrace, 1959 Lived in Idle, Wrose, Thorp Edge and Munich I now live in Kilkenny, First match Southend United in1968. Lived abroad since the fire. Went to school with @Tennesseebantam St Georges and St Bedes Semi-retired.​

 

Cornwall Terrace and I, the street below. When did you leave C/ Terrace ?

 

I’ve got to ask - what took you to Estonia?

 

1965

 

We gotta know each other . We were all over those streets and knew everyone as kids. We left 69 ish .

Murphy’s, Bedfords, Martin etc at the Fish and Chip shop. I could go on .

 

Yes, we must. I lived next door to the Martins in Cornwall Terrace before they moved to the fishshop.

 

Well well. Small world .

 

Still a good read but a lot less serious back then which i liked a lot more

 

BRI in 1979, grew up in Sandy Lane and spent most of my youth in Clayton.
Lived in Clayton and Queensbury before Halifax in more recent years for schooling reasons!

With the train connections is as easy to grab the train instead of drive these days - and that goes for most away games!

First game was Shrewsbury 0-0 at home but after City returned to VP. Feels like a slightly underwhelming representation of the next 39 years following City, but despite us spending a lot of years in the lower leagues, there've been some great memories and highs along the way

Promotion at Wolves, mini European cup run, numerous visits to Wembley, all enjoyable with the exception of Millwall, incredible nights at Forest, Chelsea, Villa not to mention home nights in the cup.

And then the promotion last year and over achievement this year

My biggest positives are knowing that I managed to coerce my kids into it who also now go to games (on their own of their own accord) and seeing the club grow and grow in the last 15 years or so

 

Born in Bradford, raised in Leeds, now living between Gdansk and Bradford. Never even considered another team, and I have even baby photos wearing city clothing

 

I have only been to england once and saw city best chelsea in the prem ..i was 21 and thought we will be here for many many years....became a city fan when i was 10 or 11 when a family of leeds fans moved in next to us in Florida...once i found out they didnt like bradford...well it was my job to support them...here i am 36 years later...i love my club and couldn't be happier....

 

Born in Idle in 1972, lived there until my parents split when I was 3, first game was 1982 when the legend Bobby Campbell scored a belter in front of the Kop from memory vs Bournemouth. Was at the fateful day in 85 in the cowshed on Midland Road, a day never to be forgotten.

 

Born in the BRI in 1989, lived on Daisy Street, Great Horton then moved to Crescent Walk until I was 10. A short hop from Clayton up to Clayton Heights followed where my parents still live now.

First game was an away game I believe when I was about 3 years old, thanks to my Maternal Grandmother who was one of the many that applied for the 25 year Season Ticket during that mad period!

Went to Wembley with her in 1996 for the Notts County triumph following this I became a season ticket holder up until I was around 13-14 years old.

The Game Day program in my profile avatar is from the home game vs Chelsea when we beat them 2-1 on my birthday, a bloody brilliant way to celebrate!

I got my season ticket back when I was about 18-19 years old when I started going to games with my mate from work.

This soon stopped as I joined the RAF in 2010 where I have moved to places near Alnwick, Northumberland, Brampton, Cumbria, Scampton, Lincolnshire, Aldergrove, Northern Ireland and now back settled in Waddington, Lincolnshire.

I did managed to make it to Wembley for the League Cup Final and the Millwall Play-Off Final games. Tar me with the same brush as those from the Second West, I dare you! I watched the Aston Villa games on that run to the League Cup Final whilst deployed in Oman. Explaining to aircrew why you're crying tears of joy just after midnight was funny looking back on it now.

I'm itching to get back to a game or two this coming season but now having a young family my hands can be tied at a weekend and visits back home almost always tie in with an away game! Better planning is required!

 

Born '82 in Bradford (Thornbury, BD3) to Irish parents, family moved back to Ireland in '93. Got Interested In city by following results from the paper, the tiny little column they'd dedicate for lower league results. I thought Bradford sounded exotic.

First game was promotion year, home to Grimsby then Portsmouth midweek. 2 wins. I remember Portsmouth fans singing Day Dream Believer to us. I saw Beagrie score and do his flip. The Kop was being rebuilt/expanded. I bought my first City Gent mag and the pink. How couldn't you fall in love with it all.

Best goal I saw was Beni Carbone overhead kick v Barnsley the season after we got relegated

 

Born in Bradford in May 62 and my dad stull tells me it snowed that day. First game i cannot remember pre 76 but remember the cup run of 76. Went to all rounds except Norwich match . We were booked but weather put a stp to that. Went to Colchester game that cup run and ended up in the back room of a pub somwhere in London . My dad and his compatriots had some hassle from a woman in pub and one of the lads from minibus pissed through her letterbox fner fner. Beyond Villa and Chelsea and Wolves et al one of the most memorable games was at home against Stockport 79. It was the shittest night ever. Weather wasl mental and game would not be played nowadays. About a dozen Stockport supporters stormed the pitch and tried to take the city end. City went 1 down but came back to score 6 with Peter Downsborough scoring from the Kop end. Proper football.
