When the games start again...

Cannot wait.

I'm really really missing City and match days.

A scran and a few scoops with the lads, watch City do their thing, then go home and re-live the match on MOTD whilst the BBC visibly squirm at how good we are.

What more is there to this life?

There's not much else better to do on those long winter days we have to endure in this country. It's all well and good in this spell of good weather but come November I'm sure most of us will want to get back to football. I miss the social side more than the games to be fair.
 
I'd go as I still love City.

Will just say though that I care less about football as a whole now - it's not life and death and the way the Premier League (no doubt being pressured by Livarpool) and UEFA have shown complete lack of regard for anything except getting football up and running again ASAP for their sponsership money has really turned me off.
 
So everyone will stay at home and watch these games. They are on, when the weathers nice and people are desperate to get out and socialise. Surely this idea will promote fan gatherings, as well as extended family gatherings, Barbecues on match days. Not that I normally have a problem with any of the aforementioned, but given the present climate surely the lock down will be showing signs of weakening around the same time. Social distancing will not exist once a ball is kicked. Once again TV money rules the roost. All the good work, lives lost, as well as lives risked will be in the past. I love football and have been a City fan since the sixties, but surely the Premier league, TV companies and even the clubs have missed a trick here, it needs fuckin of for a whole year. Multiple games in one day or even over a few days disasterous. Rant over, stay safe blues.
 
Well it looks like the Premier League will get to be finished even if it has to be behind closed doors. Maybe it will need a player to catch the virus and give it to all his team mates as well as the opponents, before the Premier League will say the season has been declared null and void.

PLEASE STAY SAFE MY FELLOW BLUES
 
IMO football won’t be back in June, it’s pure fantasy to suggest it will. I would even go as far to suggest that the 20/21 season won’t start on time.
 
Think it's a hard decision to make. Most will want to attend the game for the love of the game. Nobody wants closed door matches but for me and the wellbeing of ourselves, our children and grandchildren it's a no! Until its 100% safe I wouldn't risk my family or others
Stay safe all!
 
cityblue123 I agree with you 100%. That unless it is 100% safe for me to go to the Etithad Stadium to watch a game again I will not be going. My life is more important that any game of football. I missed most of the matches throughout 2009 as I was visiting sick family in hospital. I found that I didn't miss it as much as I though I would. That is even after they said I should go to the games and I said no you are more important than any football game.

Makes you wonder how after the two World wars, when everyone lost family members, when people were maimed and disabled for life, how and why did they go back to watching football in great numbers.?

Why did they not lose interest, and begin to focus on important things?

Could it have been normality?

Because football was still an 'innocent' pastime not the corrupt one it has become.


I was prepared to go back when they play again but I am now considering that decision as my granddaughter asked me not to. I want to see my Great-grandchildren grow up and so I may wait until they have a vaccine.

It was not innocent, and never has been.
Much is documented. I have friends who played in the 50s, 60s, told me at length of dirty dealings and payments of inducement to sign. They are unfortunately dead now. Some played for City and one for United.

The chairmen, owners of clubs in the bygone days were among the most bent in society.
In may not have been on the same scale as it is today , but in fact was probably much easier to do it back in the day.

By all means stop going, many will .But don't let the reason be some i'll conceived idea that the history of professional football in bygone days was as pure ad the driven snow.

To give you one example, a friend of mine was given a grand back hander to move from united to Derby after the war. Not really an "innocent" pastime.
Seeing your grandchildren growing up is a very valid reason
