I was only 3 so it's pretty tough to remember but that would be the 92-93 season, i'm pretty sure we played southampton and drew 0-0 can't really remember much from those early seasons after all i was only a wee lad and didn't really understand much about the game.

1971- Against a team who wore light blue (Man Citeh, Cov???)
Don't remember the score, just loads of blokes shouting and using words I'd never heard before.

I remember Charlie Georges hair though. I thought he was was the coolest guy I ever saw !!

I remember Hag, takes me back to primary school days!

My first game: West Brom in 1980, result 2-2. I think it was one of only two times I was in the East Stand (the other being the 2-0 win over Liverpool in 1985, when Niall Quinn scored on his debut). After the West Brom game, I was hooked, and was a North Bank regular until it was torn down for the new stand, and then I became (and still am) a Clock Ender.

Just to make us non-nubies sound even older, I remember the terrace prices in the early 80s being Â£1.10 for adults and 80p for kids and OAPs. You could get a seat for Â£3. Bit different now...

Wonder what happened to that guy who used to wonder across the North Bank selling peanuts.

My first game was in 2001 against Fulham. Had saved money to travel from Norway, and was amazed by everything on, and around the stadium. The score?: 0-0

After this I got a job, so it became much more easy to jump on a plane and go watch The Arsenal.

Oh my god reading the other posts i feel like an old git.

My first game was in December 1967 v Sheff Wed.And would you believe it the game was abandoned at half time because of heavy snow.
Things could only get better after that

You should get down there for the Newcastle game, Ben. I think they're selling tickets on the cheap!

My first game was Arsenal v Sheffield Wednesday in our 1997/1998 double winning season

I was a VIP and it was my first game, i will never forget watching Dennis Bergkamp score up at the clock end, i was sitting in the North Bank with my dad and Arsenal provided a seat either side of us so that i was comftable because i had just come out of hospital.

Bergkamp Scored in the 35th minute.
the team was:
Seaman;
Dixon, Adams, Keown, Winterburn;
Vieira, Hughes, Parlour, Overmars;
Bergkamp, Wreh

the attendance was 38,087

I meet the players and Arsene before the game, i got to sit in the directors chair it was green with a gold cannon on the back.
I also got a tour around Highbury, it was the best day of my life thats why i love Arsenal so much because they cheered me up while i was in hospital and when i came out too.

Arsenal is my life

My first game was at home to Man Citeh at the start of the 94-95 season. I went with my Dad and Grandad, when i was about 4. I don't remember much about the game itself, but I do remember a kid my age kicking my seat, which annoyed me along with the fact that he was wearing the old home shirt and I had the new one on. I was cooler than him. I also remember looking around the natural history museum before the game, and being scared of the dinosaur exhibition.

We were sat in the west upper which was the only time i ever sat on one of the side stands at Highbury.
