For those Blues that are no longer here

This IS how it feels to be City, a great thread and I would just like to remember my Grandad Teddy Hulme who spirited me away from my Red Dad and took me to Maine Road 48 years ago rest in peace Grandad you played a blinder.

He's got the right name! Feel for you fella, mixed emotions, I'm sure Vince will be cheering the boys on!
 
To my mum & dad who took me to my first game at Maine Road in 1965.
Needless to say we lost 3-2 to an own goal, but I was hooked.

My dad got me a ticket and a lift to Newcastle in 1968 and my mum got me a ticket to the 1970 League Cup Final.Never did find out how they managed it, but must have cost them a fortune.
 
My mum will be making all our dearly departed Blues a pre match cuppa tomorrow.Her tea urn is on the second cloud from the right and Gabriel will be doing the balti pies.

God bless Blues. X
 
What a touching topic,

To my Dad who stood next to me at Bolton while it pissed down for hours, to Jim and Mary Tobin from Ladybarn we went for years in the Platt Lane till I was old enough to go on my own, my Grandad, Mama, amazing people never forgotten Blues forever.

Lets have a weekend never to be forgotten xxxxxx
 
For my dad who took me on the Kippax for the first time in 1989.. And I never looked back.. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow..

For my best friend and cousin and his dad (my uncle). Thanks for the memories.
Wish you could have seen all thats happening but im sure you will both be watching. Miss you always. RIP, Mark and Eric Stubbs
 
Mentioned my Dad last week, massive blue as was my Grandad.

Followed City all his life and went to the cup finals in the 30's and the 50's, also got him a ticket for the 81 final.

When he was getting older I had a relative (on the wifes side) who used to work at Maine Rd and got him tickets for the main stand at City, I took him and left him there and went round to the Kippax.

He used to love watching Trevor Frances for some reason!

I know he's watching as he did in the derby and against Newcastle, one last big effort Harry and help us across the line....

COME ON CITY!!!!
 
In tears again reading all the memories of our family.

Its time for bed here before the greatest day of our City lives,

Love you all, from Chippy and son in, Blues in Perth.

Superb post, tears in my eyes reading these posts so difficult, so many people with mixed emotions, but im sure every blue will be looking down on us on sunday cheering the boys on.
 
Dad.....1945-2007 - You took me to my first game, I was there at your last game when Michael Johnson scored that cracker against Derby.

Tommorrow is for both of us and your precious grandson who will be singing his heart out!

Once a blue, Always a blue...........
 
DO IT FOR ME DAD.

Dont know if anyone on here old enough to remember my dad charlie blundell from wythenshawe, lived in the flats on wendon road were i lived until i was 10. My dadwas a season ticket holder for years and took me whenever he could and i aint stopped going since, funny thing is i took my dad to the new stadium just before he passed away he wanted to see the area again and mainly the ground which is built on bradford pit were he used to work. Would love us to win it tomorrow and know he is watching his beloved blues from above. COME ON CITY DO IT FOR MY DAD. iwill be there tomorrow without a ticket with my partner and son watching in the square.
