I'm confused - The Kippax wasn't uncovered in the 1976/77 season. Unless you mean unreserved, as all terraces were.First Season Ticket - Kippax Uncovered 1976/77 season and held one ever since!! I make that 47 years 46 seasons!!??
And wouldnt change a thing!! ;-) well maybe tel Tommy Hutch to NOT stand there! among others!
I also missed the Brentford game and had only missed two other first team games at the stadium.With the Brentford game being the 500th competitive game at the Etihad I wondered if anyone had managed them all?
I just missed out but have done 498 of them.I had the company I worked for and my family to thank for a large part of it and realise not everyone is so lucky.
You're a Rag :)At work we’ve just had our long service awards.
it got me thinking I bet most of us have been season ticket holders longer than we have worked or been in the same job.
I can’t even remember when I actually got my first season ticket I think around 1987.(not sure if it’s even logged anywhere since the move from Maine road we just got a lump of points)
I just thought it would be nice for city to acknowledge our support for all these years.
Or maybe you all think we are just a number and are not interested.
So based on my season ticket I will have done possibly 35 years.
Could the club do anything for our loyal support?
Options
1. Email at 10,20,30,40,50 years service and so on.
2. A beer token, have a drink on us
3. A voucher to spend in city store
4. Blue Peter badge and so on.
maybe I’m wide of the mark and people are not bothered, I’m not precious I just thought it would be a nice touch from the club.
other things an email for big birthdays? We have some supporters who are 80 or more and still going as season tickets who may not be able to go much past this age And it will go without any acknowledgment.
maybe a letter from the club, anything?
yes I am bored and no city games but what do people think?
That’s got to be the biggest insult I’ve ever hadYou're a Rag :)
City would be nothing without our long standing fans.
City have done a lot of things to push many of them out since the takeover as well which has always felt like a kick in the teeth. I know well over two dozen people who’ve dropped away from our match going support who now only go to early round FA Cup home games yet for a while some of them were going home and away every week every season.
Would be good of the club to acknowledge that we aren’t just ‘Legacy’ fans and we are the true core of the club. After all, every single person currently working for City will be one day long gone from this club, their names will still be in the history books, but it will be us and our families who will still be the core supporters like they have been for 128 years.
Good OP @eaststandlevel3
When it's my time to leave this mortal coil, I think having a fatal heart attack at a City match would be my favoured choice of ending it all.My brother gets regular calls asking how he is. He has been invited to events at the Etihad. Has travelled on the club plane to long distance aways.
He has missed two games in 15 years, one in Russia, and one when he had a heart attack at a match and missed the following game.
Lots of people have different priorities as they get older, they stop going to games for a variety of reasons, 53000 make it, and games are regularly sold out so the club are doing something right, though many on Bluemoon would disagree.
only pulling your chain. Well done for your longevity supporting gods ownThat’s got to be the biggest insult I’ve ever had
Gene Kelly stand?I'm confused - The Kippax wasn't uncovered in the 1976/77 season. Unless you mean unreserved, as all terraces were.
