The fightback from Relegation to the 3rd tier began Vs Blackpool, even Bradbury scored , was all looking like a cakewalk till we got battered at Fulham 6 days later and Tshadadze got stretchered off never to return

It's good to look back at these days now as we are arguably the best team in the world but fuck me it was hard work living through it. My son has it so easy knowing City only as we are now.

Over 32000. One of the few times I was in the Main stand. Couldn't believe the support that day, hairs are standing on edge thinking about it. Little was we to know how the season would end. CTIFD!

Took this photo at the game. We might have been at our lowest ebb, but the two kits we had that season have still to be beaten..

I've got one overriding memory of that Blackpool game. There was an injury in the second half with a long delay and the whole ground were belting out "We love you City" and all the other classics. It was a real show of defiance from a big crowd. That loyalty and determination sewed the seeds for what came to pass.
