    I think it would be most amusing to resurrect that old post to be honest <laugh>... As Matty Bounds would get ALL the updates!

    Slight deviation. When did you first take your son (or daughter)?

    For me it was v Wycombe in 3rd tier in early 2000’s; City won 1-0 with a Kavanagh goal (which we barely could see from the old Family Stand).

    Took daughter to a couple of Wales games (Finland & Brazil) when football started using Millennium Stadium. No inspiration there for her to attend more games.

    Might have been to CCS once with her boyfriend, not sure, but came to Wembley for Blackpool game. She was at Uni in Coventry at the time and bravely caught the train down from Cov on her own.

    My daughter has no interest in football. She prefers rugby which is what she saw me play when she was a youngster.

    When she was about 12 she told Gareth Taylor and Paul Dickov (both their wives had horses on the same livery yard as her) that football was a girls game.

    The official attendance for the WBA game was 31,641 - the board were clearly massaging the attendances to keep the tax bill down. All cash on the gate in those days :emoticon-0138-think

    My first game was spurs home FA Cup 1977, we won 1-0 and would you believe it Peter Sayer scored the winner. My wife and daughter came to a couple of Wales games but no real interest from them but my son has been down the City with me since about 2002. This is the last year I'm buying his season ticket too; he's just returned home from Sheffield University but his season ticket only cost £99 this year but will be full price next season onwards. Unless he does a masters orPGC - brainy little b*gger

    My son & daughter have no interest in football, they used to love to come to the cricket years ago. My 3 grandsons came to the football about half a dozen times, I bought them CCFC shirts in the hope to interest them but girls and cars are more important.

    Just saw the thread and posted. Didn't realise it was nearly as old as me.

    Remember the game well, sayer on the beginning of MOD for a while after that and the Spurs No1 cheerleader orchestrating the Spurs fans from the top of the away dugout. Magnifico

    I was there. Usually stood on the bob bank not far from the tv camera platform. Dad treated me to a seat in the canton end for that game though. Was dead in line with sayer and the post so knew it was going in before the ball crossed the line and was first on my feet. You could see me go up on the footage.

    I remember my first and I think only magical European night as a young lad walking up Sloper Road. Floodlights glaring. The smell of the pasties & Bovril. Dynamo Berlin were the opponents.

    And then Don Murray blazed the spot kick over the bar into the Grange End to end another campaign <doh>

    I missed the Real Madrid game with flu; no way my mum would let me go. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
