And all the goals that City score are blinding.

The football was shit, but the fans were great. Gallows humour and you had to be pissed to watch. Despite all the success its still my favourite time supporting city!

I can look back with some fondness at the number of times I stood on the uncovered North end and got pissed wet through, and suffered some grim football for 90mins. But I suppose the fondness comes from knowing I ain't gonna have to do it again.

And after all..you’re my Alan Ball…

He was a genius - but only playing the game, not coaching it!

I knew we were fucked when our state of the art scoreboard at the back of the North Stand had random lights on and couldn't be repaired but we still didn't turn it off....let's waste a bit more money we didn't have.

It might have been fucked but that kept us informed on the scores in those days, particularly the scores of those around us, usually in a relegation dogfight or going for promotion from the old second division.

Anyone got a picture of the shitty little scoreboard that was between the Main Stand and the Platt Lane?
Pretty sure it was stuck on City 0 Visitors 1

This one?

I think many fans of Teams such as Sunderland think that we have not really suffered that much compared to them but I agree that our contrasting highs and lows are unique.

Couldn’t really give a fuck what they think TBH we turned up home and away going to some right shit holes that time forgot.
