The Blue touch paper has been lit, so to speak...Only another 24 million or so to convert then!

I took my son to Portland, OR a week before the UCL final to celebrate my nephew's high school graduation. His younger cousins from Seattle were there and they are soccer-mad. One of them just did a team trip to Madrid, training there and being partially brainwashed by tours of both Real and Atletico. However, when I asked which team they support, it was City, much to my delight. And, no single player was responsible, as they could recite the entire squad, including Cancelo, who one of them thought we need to employ again this season. The present, and future, are blue!The Same thing happened to the rags in 99, when they won the treble their support exploded. With Haaland and the Treble I imagine were the big draw to kids now. And that's what scares a lot of rags and dippers, particularly the armchair ones as their kids most likely haven't been to a game so don't feel that connection with the team their parents 'support' especially if they're winning sod all.
We'll be able to do what some rags do soon with our season tickets,buy it and sell it to tourists and jcl's match by match,and make a hefty profit.We're the hottest ticket in town at the moment, the glamour club.
