It's incredible to watch a visual timeline of something that has woven itself into the pattern of your life history.

It was about 27k originally then held down at about 19k I think, due to all the safety paranoia.

I know this will sound stupid with all our recent successes but deep down I miss that place so much and BELIVE it or not miss going to some of the traditional grounds with proper fans.

well that took me back.
it was an unbelievable journey through almost 40 years for me. I was in tears at the last game. sat where I once stood with my man and my dad from 1965 onwards. both not with us now of course but they absolutely loved city, how they afforded to take me at times i'll never know. now I take my kids (lol) and my grandson to every home game and as many away games as poss, I will saviour that for all time. we'll be in Gladbach Tuesday and I can't wait. many many families will have been exactly the same. that's city you see, its about people, sure a title win here and there is great but in truth its nothing over walking to the stadium with my grandson clutching my hand and holding on through the crowds. his face when we score is most likely just what I was like in my first season.
here's to 50 plus years for him to enjoy.
