We need to get back the supporters evenings, where they had usually 2 players and the manager coming along to talk to supporters. There was time at the end for photos and autographs.
I remember being at the one where an Eccles Supporter asked Roberto Mancini about the infamous banner at the swamp and the supporters practically raising the roof when RM replied that he would do it and drive the bus over the Mancunian Way to tear it down himself!! (Or words to that effect, he definitely said drive the bus over the Mancunian)
Bring those evenings back City. Or the signings at the shop, I got Dunnie's signature at one of those and Robinho's. Couldn't do it nowadays as I stood for 3.5 hrs for Robinho and nowadays can only stand for about 15 minutes!!! ;-) Age catches us all.
Oh and I had my photo taken with Roberto Mancini that evening as well!! Those were the days. One with VK when I presented Joe Hart with a player of the month award, Joe Hart at that one as well. (of course!) The only time I voted for anyone other than VK; he hadn't played that month. How lucky was I?????
