I wonder if that's the figure for those, like you, who've retained their seats since August 2003. Many have been relocated especially from CB2 & ES2.de niro said:gordondaviesmoustache said:Is it really? I'm genuinely surprised at that.de niro said:yes.

I reckon I am a bloody glory hunter.

It's not true.
Saw a discussion PB had the other day about it where the figure only represents people who have had a season ticket for every season since Maine Road which includes part timers like me, Ric, and many others who might have dropped the season ticket for one year in the period
mancityvstoke said:Interesting stat I read on MCIVTA....not sure if it's true
Only 12,000 season ticket holders remain from the ones who moved from Maine Road
Is this true?
BigOscar said:Not remotely interested in glory, I'm more up for watching great football each week than a trophy at the end. Obviously I want the trophies, but not if it means sitting through Pearce-esque football all year. Entertainment is my number 1 priority, far ahead of trophies.

I clearly remember turning up and hardly ever expecting a win. When we did win it was more a shock than an expectation, and if we could just finish mid table and avoid the scramble for relegation I was happy. I just loved City.
Now, every single game is pressure. The expectation of a win is all-consuming. Every player, every stat is pored over if we even draw a game now, to try and find out what went so awfully wrong that we actually dared to drop a couple of points - ever more valuable points as our quest for trophies steamrollers on.
I find myself saying now to my lad before EVERY game - 'we need to win this one, can't afford to drop points' and that was from game 1!!!
Don't get me wrong, I have loved winning the trophies we have won over the last few years, and truly hope there are many more, but I do sometimes long for that pressure free mid table mediocrity, but the newborn glory hunter in me soon dampens that distant memory.
My name is Books Reject, and I am a gloryhunter.
