For me the whole Mancini sacking and Wigan Cup hangover killed my love for the game a bit. That said, non-league appeals more to me now
That killed you love?
Not the nineties?
nah, the reaction to it by many fans bugged me loads. I was brought up on 90s failures and empty dreams.
It didn't add to my other thoughts...
the near sterile atmosphere - especially the uber-elitist Cash League,
the grand FA Cup final at silly o'clock for TV purposes,
games moved left right and centre for TV,
increasing costs at games,
mates and family not going as they're priced out of it,
knobheads at games shouting insane amounts of abuse at officials and subs but barely chanting or cheering City on,
financial fairplay and TV deals having no positive effect on fans,
being forced to sit down at away days by stewards (who bother no-one else),
xenophobia by older fans towards new generations and "tourists",
Nike,
fear that one day I won't be able to afford to go...
I could add more, easily.
