Where were you when we were s**t?

Probably made 3 home games a season then and 1 away.
Pre tinternet days travel etc was so difficult
Slept in the car a few times then freshened up at a service station
Not my first game but vividly remember a game v Spurs just after they signed them Argies

Many a night i slept in the waiting room at Crewe Station after evening games, waiting on the early morning milk & mail train that took fucking ages to get back to Cardiff.
Happy times ha

Even trying to buy the train tickets was traumatic.
Staff would open up a huge ledger of times and routes then when plotted search through a myriad of fare types.
Usually took about an hour with a tutting queue behind.

Same. My dad rewarded my efforts of following the blues off my own back in Division 2 by buying it. I think a junior ticket was about £26 in the Kippax.

I’ve got an August birthday (which is tomorrow). A season ticket for the Kippax and City shirt was what I received every year. Wouldn’t have wanted anything else.

Although my Mum bought me a season ticket in the North Stand the season after Hillsborough.

So for the 5-1 I was aged 13 and very close to carnage of the vermin kicking off in North Stand rather than in the Kippax sat on the big white tunnel wall near the away fans like I usually was.

I was 6 years old when I got into football. It was time for me to choose a football club. I choose Man City who were mid table at the time (2004-05 season) because I was always into underdogs and I liked the colors and the badge.
I don't remember my dad (who was and still is a Juventus fan since 82') being outraged by my pick or because I didn't pick a 'bigger' club. He just said 'huh, an interesting choice!'. He bought a PL TV subscription next season which was crazy expensive and exclusive at that time since it just became available in our country, just so we could watch my club on a TV. To this day, despite being a Juve fan, he celebrates every Man City trophy together with me. In 2012, we went on to watch the last match day in our local pub that was showing it on a big screen. I'll never forget how the entire neighborhood went bananas after Aguero scored despite all of those people being neutrals from a different country. He got us tickets for Manchester derbies in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2024. I never thought I'd see Man City play in person but he made sure that happens. He was crying when we won UCL because my club finally won it (he wanted me to witness how it feels like to be on top of the Europe) and because it was against Juve's biggest rival. After that, he took me and mom to the most expensive restaurant in the city and told us to order whatever we want. He said it was one of the best days in his entire life.
I love you dad!
