My first game was at home to Shrewsbury in April 76, i was 8 and Don Rogers was playing that day (one of the few games he played after he returned).
I really can't remember much about the game itself, i went with my uncle and grandad, my uncle worked for the council as an electrician and dropped us off in his transit near the ground so my grandad could buy his cigarettes on the way, and the smell in the Arkells of cigars/cigarettes is something i remember more than the match, that and the sweets i got given...
Whenever i smell that particular brand my grandad smoked even now it takes me back to those days....
Living away, the next match i got taken to was the 6-0 home win against Lincoln in March 79, i was 11 then and can remember that more clearly.

1968 Swindon 2 Bristol Rovers 2
Had no particular affiliation to either team as I lived smack in the middle in Chippenham at the time.
Can't really remember why I chose Swindon over the Robots - but with what was to come the following year, boy did I make the right choice

Mine was Swindon against Stoke in 1997. Went for my 7th birthday, sat in the town end which was the family bit at that time. I think peter thorne scored and someone got sent off. I spent most of the match mimicking the linesman.

My Dad tells me it was in 1989. Most likely the 89/90 season, I would only have been 3 years old. No idea who the opponents were. My only memory is of playing with the seats, which is what I did for most of the game so I'm told. I think we had to leave because it was too loud as well  |

My first game was Jimmy Allen's testimonial vs Chelsea in 1986.
Think Chelsea won 4-0 but I aint 100% sure? Was 11 years old and went with a mate and his dad. Stood on the shrivvy road at the front on the half way line.

In May 1986 Town lost 3-2 to Chelsea in a Testimonial, I guess it'll be that one. |

Fuck knows why i thought it was 4-0? First game i saw at the county ground was an England u21 match vs Italy prior to the Chelsea testimonial. England lost 1-2 i think? |

Until recently I thought my first game was in 76 against Peterborough but it was in 74 when I was 8 against Peterborough so my sister informs me.
I remember very little about it now but apparently our team that day was Barron, Dixon, Trollope, Hubbard, Burrows, Prophett, Moss, McLauglin, Eastoe, Butler, Anderson, Sub Jenkins.
A 1-0 defeat with 9,023 there.
The occassion passed me by apart from recalling some crowd trouble after the game which was pretty much the norm around the mid 70s so I seem to remember.

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Urgh, if I remember rightly they had The Town End and The Bank that day. |
