That one season defined our fanbase.
If you were there, you know that it was make or break. United were sweeping everything before them and City everything united were not. And yet, instead of crumbling or sneaking away to come back if things picked up, the fans responded and swept us back to the Premier League.
That is the complete opposite of supporting a club because they are successful, it was supporting the club when it was at it lowest ebb, something we're rightly proud of and something fans of certain other clubs resent.
