I remember when we were that abysmal..

I used to go watching City and drown my sorrows before and after the game as it numbed the pain of yet another defeat we knew we'd have to suffer. Many games i have no recollection of due to being so pissed. Plenty of us blues drank to forget getting beaten by the minnow clubs and their fans taking the piss. A good sing song and a bellyful of ale got many of us us through those dark days back then.


One thing that being "shit" taught me though was i can never forget the depths we plunged to and it keeps me from getting too giddy in all our recent success. But despite our misfortunes on the pitch back then the banter and camaraderie between us was fuckin' special and something United fans could never understand.
 
I remember we were that shit I stood on the terraces at Maine Road with 8014 other freezing souls and Mike Summerbee had the cheek to score for Swindon.

My lowest was Lincoln City. We scored early away and I said to my mate "a good win here and I don't have to go to the home leg as I have something on that I will struggle to get out of". Of course, we went on to lose away 4-1 so I had to go to the home leg
Lincoln than beat us again 1-0 at home to win 5-1 on aggregate

that was a very low point.
I drew the short straw and the only way i could get there was in the boot of a car , it was fucking horrendous.
we got there late , missed roslers goal , then watched us get dicked. The only plus point was my mate got nicked so i got a seat on the way back.
 
Remember drinking with three mates at the Griffin, ( Heaton Mersey) one a Welsh rag, one a Blackpool fan and the other a Hereford supporter. Couldn't get any of them to go to the 3rd level game at home to Notts County. Stockport at home same night was cheered that the bus going to the match was packed whereas the bus going to Stockport was empty and they were a division higher. Met my mates after the game in the Whitty and told them what a treat they missed won 1 0 I think March 1999. Brilliant Ruby in the Shazan, shite footy great days.

Serious question. Anybody ever run into York City fans and have a bit of a laugh together?

Mad how so many of those clubs reminiscent with our darkest hours have since spent time in non league, while we headed very much in the opposite direction. York, Stockport, Lincoln, Luton, Macclesfield. Oldham in danger of dropping this year
Hopefully united, liverpool, Spurs and Ipswich in a decade or two…
