I'm not saying you can't be a city fan or you are a lesser fan but in all honesty I think you should choose a club for reasons other than success.
Phate said:Chevelle said:I am amazed by the attitude of some blues.. yeah I only started supporting the club 3-4 years ago when I actually got sky in new Zealand and could actually watch games in the epl and wanted to pick a team. I didn't want to be a united, liverfail, arseanal, or Chelsea fan because they had already won practically everything the last 4-5 years.. so I watched some games and loved the way city played.. the atmosphere at COMS was amazing and I can not wait for the day to be Able to travel to Manchester and actually watch a game.. and besides I buy shirts etc.. my brother has a Silva shirt.. fans around the world is what is gonna help the club meet FFP rules and also keep the EPL making. Fortune in TV rights each year for the future.. don't consider it a bad thing.. honestly.
Lol, buying a shirt and watching us on sky does not make you a fan. Watching our club jump from one calamity to another, being there for the heartbreak of everything bad and still turning up on cold, wet nights whilst your friends around you have pledged their allegiance to a 'big' club and mock City at every opportunity yet still proudly displaying the badge wherever you go is what being a fan is all about. You have absolutely no idea what most of us have been through. If this particular trend carries on we'll start to resemble the rags more and more as seasons elapse. The soul will be removed from our club and we will lose our identity. The amount or arrogance that the new fans will bring to our club will grow and we will no longer be the team that most neutrals want to beat United, we will become just another arrogant club in their eyes. One thing I've always made sure I do is not to mock others for their support of lower league clubs. One thing I really admire about them is their feeling of belonging in their club. I certainly admire them a hell of a lot more than some converted rag scum like you that has decided to leach on to the new found success of our club.

Someone needs to look in the mirror and wonder why so much anger on the eve "his" (or her) team may win it all.
I am just glad that pov is a minority view, that most City fans welcome growth and diversity, a goal that the Sheikh named when he bought City. What's more diverse than bringing in world class players and world wide recognition?
For the record, when City wins (this Sunday or in 1-2 years), I will celebrate and be happy for the Sheikh, Khaldoon, Mancini, and all the players. But I will be most happiest for long time fans, for everything they've gone through with this wonderful team.
But not Phate, lol

I chose to root for City, because it was opposite of Manchester UTD. I hated them even growing up and I'll never forget the 1-0 defeat Fenerbahce handed them and snapped their 40 yr unbeaten home-record in European games and how I joyfully jumped up and down after the goal and witness history.

Hopefully this weekend, I'll be able to witness history once more and can say I was a fan when City won the title once more
Fenerbahce/City fan for life

glen quagmire said:I think that there should be a questionaire to fill out just like the citizenship test.
Q1. What was your first match attended?
Q2. Who is your favourite player before the takeover?
Q3. When did you last wear some merchandise?
Q4. Would you stay till the end if you got a match ticket?
Q5. If we went through lean times again, who would you support then?
Q6. Barm or muffin?
