I announced I was a City fan aged four - 1964. At the age of eight I went to my first game - we beat Liverpool 1 - 0 at home - Franny scored. So I've seen brilliant times, good times, bad times, average times, more bad times, false dawns, and now these glory days. At the age of sixty-three I'm enjoying it more than ever - totally different POV than some others on here. We have, quite rightly, moved with the times. The abundance of tourists has no effect on my desire to watch us play.
Clearly, some on here are not quite tuned-in to what we are now - analogues in a digital world - and don't feel that they fit in, so it's probably best they consider handing their season tickets to others that are desperate for tickets. We have two season tickets in our family - one shared between my sons - one son drives from Kent to our games. I have other sons constantly looking for tickets - loud and enthusiastic lads - others will be in the same boat.
So my advice to the older weary fans - slow down, sit down on your comfy sofa, feet up, hot drink, watch us on telly and give someone else a chance.
Btw, we intend to relocate from Manchester to the Fylde coast within the next six months - I've already joined the local supps club there. Can't wait - will be going to all home games!!!!
