From a new fan...

[Dr Mick]

There are many different clasifications of City fan from the 'never miss a game' to the 'casual observer' and people will move between the categories as they move through life and their priorities and circumstances change. I fully get that.

I'm not judging anyone. This isn't anything personal and I'm certainly not questionning anyone's passion.

My comments are about the glorly hunters who only want to be associated with City when it suits them.

I, like many other have served my time as a City fan. I have supported City when they were shite and I've supported City when they were even shiter. I have no time for glory hunting wankers. I would prefer it if they chose soemone other than City to 'support' and I will get extremely pissed off if after i've commiting thousands of hours and thousands of pounds to this club some little shit from Kent who knows fuck all about this great club off ours nicks in at the last minute to steal all the glory and in the process spoil it for me. I've earnt it. They haven't.

It's the football equivalent of queue jumping or pushing in. And as with any other other queue, if after waiting patiently for some time, some turd tries to push in in front of me then i wouldn't be happy. Would you?

Mate, I understand where you're coming from but for me, no "glory-hunter" is going to spoil my enjoyment of the coming years. No way. I'm surprised you admit that it may spoil it for you, all I can say is dont let it get to you. To enjoy the summer, you've got to get through the winter and the johnny come lately's are all the poorer for not being there in the dark days..

And besides, there's an argument that our good Sheikh is the ultimate glory hunter, which is fine as long as he has the money eh?

Has anyone asked him and his kids about York away?

Excellent response. Made me chuckle. Not sure about York but i'm pretty sure i saw him at Macc queuing up for a pie.

Obviously they won't spoil my overall enjoyment but they may spoil moments of enjoyment. For the FA cup parade i jibbed off work at dinner time and went to the slug and lettuce on Albert square and then into Albert square soon after 4pm. Imagine if the queue to get in had been massive by lunchtime and instead of taking up a spot by the bus i was right at the back and couldn't see fuck all because some fat twat yank family on holiday from illinois were blocking my view then yes that would spoil my enjoyment.

Hopefully if the glory hunting 'problem' becomes an issue then i would like to think that City would introduce some ticket loyalty scheme for entrance to Albert Square. I would be totally gutted if after supporting city all my life i couldn't get in to Alber Square to see us parade the Premier League trophy but some 10 minute glory hunter could. I am sure many other true City fans would feel the same as me.

 

[Longsight-memories]

Anyone else remember week in week out getting onto the Kippax at 5 to 3 just as the players were running out (yes they actually ran out in those days) and standing on your 'very own' slab of concrete at the back of the Kippax surrounded by your mates and other familiar faces...

..then one week when we are playing a big game and guess what I can't get anywhere near my usually space because the ground is full of glory hunting twats.

And so to new fans who have suddenly 'chosen' to supoort City rather than being from Manchester or born into a City supporting family I would extend a luke warm welcome and respectfully ask that you try not to get in the way of us proper fans with your dodgy accents, brand new scarfs and little knowledge of our glorious history as we won't like it, particularly if you ever block my view or make it difficult for us to get served at the bar.

And for those with no loyalty points but the ability to buy glory hunting corporate tickets, don't brag about it because you will have stolen the seat of a true fan.

If I am being totally honest I would much rather you supported someone else.

You are joking right?

Did you really prefer the Kippax when it was half empty, static and everyone had their own slab?

Give me the mental full houses, piss down the back of yer Oxford bags, starting at the top and finishing at the bottom days, every time.

I think they built the Main Stand for people who wanted to watch the match in an orderly fashion mate.

Where did i say i preferred the Kippax when it was half empty? The Kippax was never half empty. It was full every week with loyal fans who all stood in the same spot every week. Then united come to town and all the glory hunting dick turds come out of the woodwork and fuck it up for the rest of us.

Either go ever week or stay away. Its not rocket science. I have no time at all for the 'but its only a cup game and its Wednesday night on TV and I live in Telford and my dog's poorly and I have to put the kids to bed and i can't get time off work' brigade. That's what Man U was invented for.

YOU HAVE THE WRONG NAME

Fuck you, knob head. If you've got something to say or something valid to contribute to the debate then say it. If you just want to insult me then fine but please try and come up with something a bit more original than Dr Dick. That's the sort of things rags call me.

I will keep renewing my ST's every year, still go away and will love my club till the day i die. No 'new' fan will ever get my seats! That is why i hope we can develop the stadium, so that we can WELCOME as many new fans as possible! The more blues, the less reds, that has to be a win, win situation!

 

[mcfcliam]

To any new fan:

Surely you didn't feel the same kind of emotions as us lot did when we won the FA Cup?

Say NO to manufactured support.

 

[glen quagmire]

To the OP...surely you didn't feel the same kind of emotions as us lot did when we won the FA Cup?

Say NO to manufactured support.

Hahahahahahahaha!

I think you're looking at the past through rose (or blue...) tinted glasses. The Kippax was not full every week, only really for the big games that you seem to be getting stroppy about.

We were lucky to get 20k some weeks, the Kippax held more than that on its own, folk were never really locked out.

A lot of people seem to be getting a little too romantic about Maine Road, I loved the place, but it wasn't some atmospheric utopia crammed with screaming hordes every fortnight.

You wont see him queuing for a pie now mate, he doesn't like raisins.

I heard a rumour that Mansour used to run with the Abu Dhabi Guvnors, they had a reputations for kicking sand in the faces of oppo fans. Proper tasty crew he had. The DCF (Desert Camel Firm) had the biggest mob but the Abu Dhabi boys had a toe to toe and gave em all a fat lip.

Was that a camel toe to toe?
