My first game was as a 5 year old a week after my birthday. It was February the 25th 1984, i can't remember much as i was too young, but we beat palace 1-0. ( how things have changed )
Anyone know who scored? I have the programme still......somewhere, and have just been scrabbling about in th loft for the last hour trying to find it.
Town 3-2 Watford. First home game of 1992/93 season.
I remember going to a friendly game at BP against Gainsborough before that season started too, which i always remember because of the referee making Dave Gilbert take a free-kick 3 times (scoring the first 2 but missing the 3rd).

That's very true...my son's first game was at Rushden 2003 where we managed to throw away a 1-0 lead and lose 3-1 but he's looking forward to going there again next season.
Was that when Macca managed to miss from about 4cm out near the end?
Mine was against Sunderland, March 1995 I think, we won 3-1 with Livvo getting a couple.
Same as myself and Green27 too. I remember I got a kids free voucher from school and begged my Dad to take me. All I remember from the game is some bald guy for them (Agnew?) and thinking that he must surely be too old to be playing football.

That must've been the same for me.
I've got a scrapbook from when I was younger and I've got a squad sheet from that match signed by Brian Laws
