You don't actually have to have been there when we were rubbish. There are people going who were 5-years-old when ADUG bought City. I'm not knocking the fact they're going, they have obviously amassed enough points over the years to be able to go through the assistance of the platinum tax, double points for joining the direct debit schemes and getting away tickets through supporters' clubs. If I go to the same number of games as the person next to me but they get double the credit for being there then it's obvious that they will catch up on points. To stress again, I'm not knocking those people, I'm just stating the facts.
In a way, the people who have spent all those years being rinsed through platinum have got much of their money back in the form of free travel to the final next weekend.
