First game, good win, green and yellow triangle nets! Good times, and I think I am in the minority that really likes the green and yellow net

My first game was Boxing Day 1986, Norwich 2 Notts Forest 1. I was 8 years old and sat on the half way line in the old South Stand with my dad, grandad and uncle. It's some of my earliest vivid memories. I remember we parked in the old carpark behind the River End, many years before there were flats there. My cousin, who would have been 15, came running up to the car all excited screaming "I've just seen Ken Brown". My grandad in his droll dismissive manner just said "Fancy that before a home game". Then I remember climbing the concrete stairs at the back of the stand, which seemed to go on for miles with my little legs and sitting in those rickety red and blue seats. Fond memories.

First game was at CR v Sheff Wed in 70/71 although I had been to a couple of reserve games before that. Don't really have a favourite but seeing City playing the likes of Bayern and Inter was pretty surreal.

When I first started going I usually sat in the old south stand. Seems like a long time ago now!

Yes, for me too. My dad made me a stool (painted black with yellow and green logo!) so I was the same height as him.
Always liked the South Stand.
In the late 50's and 60's the gates were often so low that you could change ends with the team at halftime.

I used to like standing level with whatever penalty area we were attacking.

Unfortunately never been to Carrow Road but hope too at some point this season! If so, first pint is on me haha:)

First game I 'saw' was from September 2002 via tv when the boys beat Reading away from home with goals scored by McVeigh and Mulryne.
