Gloryhunters....

Around 1953 for me! Does that make me a glory hunter?

Plus, on the 19th September I will have to leave the City v West Ham match early as my brother and his wife are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary and I have been summoned to be there!! I did ask if I could go straight from the match wearing my City kit but got a very, very firm NO, NO!! Which is just as well seeing as 3/4 of the people attending are Trafford United supporters and then there's the Hull and Southampton crowd!

So I am getting my request for understanding me leaving early in early lads. Please may I have a pass out for this one?? ;-)

You slacker. ;)
 
I always remember getting beat by Charlton 4-0 one xmas 15 yrs or so ago and it was about minus 5 degrees. I was shaking like a leaf it was that cold. Also remember a game v Southampton late 80's I couldn't feel my hands they were so numb through cold. Gloryhunter....yep thats me.
 
My father took me to Bury at Gigg Lane to see a certain Colin Bell play for the Shakers, Bury won 2-1 and I instantly fell in love with the team that lost that night.....Manchester City, like many I was just a small boy aged about 6 or 7 years old.

I got my first season ticket with my brother in the 1977-78 season and I do believe we saw every game both home and away excluding the European away games.

I have no problem with new blues, we've all been there!!!

Thats the kind of start I had born in 63, didn't know what was to come for the 40 years after I was seven. My boy is 14 but I do make sure he knows what we have been through and understands what 'York away' actually means, so hopefully he won't grow up with any feelings of entitlement. I think he gets where the dark humour comes from.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can now say that the mods have said I'm not allowed to leave early and therefore I will be very, very, very late.!!

Wag it.
Played Everton in a cup replay/replay and i was crawling out under the metalroom window. (Ducie Tech ) Crawling the other way was a teacher,a big blue. Like the Fast show......"I havn't seen you, you havn't seen me.
