Some people might know this but I have a Rag father in law, and the last time we talked he blamed me for causing the 'problems of football', (money, greed, Sky, crappy fans, no pride, no loyalty etc etc), he said all this is my fault for buying a season ticket. I argued that there are still some great things about football today. He challenged me to name 1 thing that is better now than in the 'good old days', so I said David Silva.

So put some thought into it and name something, anything that makes football better now
 
The pitches are better, lovely and green, and there are some really creative lawn mower-ists

1) The football - miles better. And not just from City's point of view. The general standard is miles better.
2) Competition is back. Premier League is really tough. Teams like Utd and Chelsea have fallen.
3) Crowds are good. In the 80s they were really bad

The ones who go on about crappy fans are those who use it as an excuse not to go.

Hmm, he doesn't go!
 
I think not getting twatted by some clown outside is a big one remember when I was about 12 getting punched by 2 barnsley fans outside maine rd and there were plenty of coins thrown in the old days which has thankfully stopped mainly
 
Tv coverage. We used to get one match's highlights on MOTD on Saturday night and another on Granada on Sunday afternoon.
Oh, and the FA cup final.

Only time I ever got hit was a punch I never saw at home to Barnsley in FA Cup 5th Round in that crush between Kippax and North Stand

I don't miss 15 minutes queues to get in either. I do miss the atmosphere though.

was that in 93? if so then same game I was twatted.

I don't miss the coppers at the back of the kippax who used to like to be dicks every few games or the kippax toilets.

I do miss the fact there was enough decent pubs round the ground and that walk to the top of the kippax stairs and then looking out onto it felt like home
