how are older blues handling this?

[Cheltblue]

Started going in 76. Im 45 now and seen lots, but no trophies, mostly heartache!!

I remember Steve Daley signing in 79 for just under 1.5mill. There was uproar then, but that was cus we were certain he was sh*te and like most signings we were right!!!

30 years later.......... Kaka, ADUG, now our time has come.
And with a bit of luck i might still be around to see a load of silverware.

I am in my early fifties ,therefore lucky enough to remember the great days.I have to say though , that i am just as giddy with excitement now as i was as a kid watching Bell ,Lee and Summerbee !! Bring it all on !! Can not get enough !

Ditto!

I'm 54 with 2 older rag brothers who are now in denial about their own past concerning buying the best available when they could...... Fuck 'em - let the good times roll !!!

The future's sky blue & the rest of the league don't like it !!!!

Be 40 at the end of the month...get in there! We few, we happy few...

Get a little peeved at the angst and "are we losing our soul?" stuff, I'll tell you that for nowt.

I'm 45 years old in a few weeks, and a bit of me yearns for the days when things in the game were much simpler.

However, the game changed years ago and now I am just so grateful that we were bought by this group. We have been the Cinderella for far too long and the opportunity to see real WORLD CLASS footballers in our blue shirt has almost been worth the wait.
I'm not that confident that City won't let me down again at some point mind. In a way I quite like that feeling, as I would hate to become what some of the rag contingent are.....expecting to win everything.

But we had better NOT balls up this opportunity. ;-)

first game in 77 went in 81, and to the full members cup, seen us at well over 100 grounds, and seen us lose at most of them.

46..been a Junior Blue and my favourite memory is Dennis Tuearts over head kick in the League Cup Final win. Always maintained that I'll be getting a City tattoo when they stop breaking my heart and make me cry with joy...let it be now! The future is blue...

 

[wrongun73]

I am 29. I have never seen City win anything!

My first memory of City was being in my garden with my dad in 89. He was listening to Bradford v City. We needed a point on the last game of the season to go into the old Division 1.

We were getting beat with 4 mins left, then Trevor Morley scored and we went up. I still have that season's highlights on video. I would have been 10 at the time.

Tricky Trev... what a guy!

 

[Mr Blue Sky]

48 in February lucky enough to have seen the 68 Championship winning side and the cups that followed soon after. Getting pretty pissed off at the moment with all the anti/hate City shite but im really buzzing at the moment waiting for something to happen (Fuck Bellamy)

 

[powersleftfoot]

I'm 43 but feel 18 again. We might win something before I die

 

[shootmeifipost10k]

A young 41 so seen a few ups but no way near enough.
74 it all started for me and 76 was my first visit to wembly I was in dreamland.81 was a killer for me I didn't go to the replay and after we lost I went a bit silly got on my prized scrambler bike kicked it up and in my anger ripped back the throttle letting the bike smash into the wall,realised then I was in for the duration
Not being from manchester but from a small village in derbyshire there was only 2 other kids I can remember at junior school,who for some reason decided city was going to become part of their lives,just about all the other kids had LFC scrawled in felt tip on on their school bags.I wonder how those other 2 kids Djordo and thommo are feeling right now just as giddy and happy as me I think.
I'm also wondering if they are on this forum.

34 years of wanting I can wait easily a couple more.Plus I'm walking around with a constant smug grin om my face.

 

[blutone3]

im 52,started back in 74,its along way from the kippax!,i hate this money an sky thing,its ruining our game,but fuck em ,the scum an chelski started it,now they are just getting it back,

[nelsons willie]

49 here, saw the best..my only concern is will he actually fit into the team..i dont know of any player that has won anything singled handed..unless some one knows better..someone was going to pay £100m for a player sooner or later its just we got there first..seem to remember franny lee being a record signing at 63k..roughly half a days pay for kaka.

 

[felixbg]

im 18 and im a state atm ... My dads 48 and i think he may have a heart attack if we sign Kaka :-s

 

[TonyGrealishstache]
