And all the goals that City score are blinding.

Watching the excellent Welcome to Wrexham documentary reminded me of City fans in our darkest days. Hope things continue to go well for them. They're in for a hell of a ride!!

That’s still better than what united or liverpool have today
While the PL fails to enforce its own rules and allows them to squeeze in a few more seats for daytrippers and plastics instead

are you implying the 2 PL clubs without the video screens are the 2 teams that have benefitted more than most since the introduction of VAR

 

[Gingers Dad]

Oh, I dunno. They had a certain charm to them, back in the day, seeing the "visitors" leading, more often than not!

Anyone got a picture of the shitty little scoreboard that was between the Main Stand and the Platt Lane?
Pretty sure it was stuck on City 0 Visitors 1

I knew we were fucked when our state of the art scoreboard at the back of the North Stand had random lights on and couldn't be repaired but we still didn't turn it off....let's waste a bit more money we didn't have.

Remember that game well, think the Goat missed about three clean through, one on ones with the keeper before he finally scored
This is why the ‘no history’ shouts make me laugh
For those of us like me who have been around since the late 70s/early 80s, there is not another fanbase on earth that has been on the rollercoaster journey we have since then
Good to decent to mediocre, to shit and mediocre, shit and almost decent, mediocre to shit, shitter and shittest, back to decent then mediocre then shit again, rinse and repeat, mediocre to decent to good to global elite
Wouldn’t swap any of it for the world. What a ride
They hate us because they aren’t tried, tested and proven like we have been
They have never known true adversity
As @gordondaviesmoustache once said, no history? Nobody has a more compelling narrative than City
Only if you are a modern plastic who conflates history with trophies do City have ‘no history’

That 98/99 season was pretty unforgettable for many reasons wasn't it! There were some great memories, the Gillingham game will proba

I think many fans of Teams such as Sunderland think that we have not really suffered that much compared to them but I agree that our contrasting highs and lows are unique.
