37 years without a trophy

[JoeMercer'sWay]

there were wartime cups, so it counts.

In 37 seasons of organised professional football, they won nothing. That's a fact.

I'd find it sad to be harping on about it except for one thing. They're so keen to remind everyone of the importance of history, yet this is a bit of history they seem quite keen to see brushed under the carpet.

 

[Fame Monster]

Let's no drone about it, but the fact remains that their fans deserted them because they went an incredible 37 YEARS without winning a trophy lol!

If that's not shit support, then I don't know what is.

Yep, my sentiments exactly. They're perfectly entitled to take the piss out of our 34 (soon to be 35) years without a pot - I'm all for a bit of banter - but by spending so much time reminding us of it they can't exactly complain when we come out with something similar in return.

It always makes me laugh how so many of them go quiet when I do come up with this particular stat.

Whenever I mention it they always stand there with a dumbfounded look on their face that says "Brain does not compute - Surely this can't be right" whilst clearly making a mental note to check on Wikipedia the minute they get home.

So your crowds DID fall to 11,685 during your 37-year drought. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah they did for one season - why does his little funny flyer say average crowds were 11,000 during the 37 year drought we had

So you haven't looked at the REAL stats that I posted

City fan = fingers in his ear, eyes closed saying na na na na to someone trying to explain the truth to them

Your right, he should have said your crowds were down to 3,000.

He doesn't use the word average, why did you stick that word in, when it clearly isn't on the flyer.?

Are the ones you posted pretend stats then?

By the way great picture, must be great to live in a world where you just make stuff up then say it enough times to try and make it true
