Hi fellow blues,
Long time lurker,first post.
I have supported our great club circa '71,first game 1975 v Burnley(0-0)
sat on the maroon benches in the Platt Lane with my dad RIP.First game
on the kippax in 1981 hence my user name.
Like many people on here,and indeed like many blues around the world,I
have had to sit back and watch those rag t***s and their arrogant t***t
fans conquer all before them.Everywhere I've ever been I have had to
suffer the assault on my senses,whether it be shopping,down the pub,the
cinema etc of plastic rags wearing their crap shitty tops spouting bile and
filth about " united this, united that blah blah blah ".It used to bother me.
In fact it used to make me want to punch the glory hunting pricks. But
not anymore.
I,ve always prided myself on the fact that I,we,are not like them.How
could we be? We have had no success,no trophies,how could a Blue ever
be accused of being a glory hunter? We're supposed to be lickle citeh,
but as we all know and appreciate the times they are a changing.
It is going to be oviously clear that we are going to attract new supporters.
Success on the pitch will automatically attract floating armchair fans to our
club,whether this be at home or abroad,and personally I don't see this as a
bad thing.If we're all honest with ourselves,how many of us have seen
pictures of Liverpool and the scum turning up at some foreign airport to be
greeted like pop stars by 1000's of screaming fans and thought " I wish that
could be us"? Well now it could be.
The revenue potential of millions of glory hunters to our club cannot be over
estimated.This is revenue we will desperately need as UEFA's regulations
kick in.Every glory hunter spending money on a City shirt is taking much
needed money away from two teams who play in red and who we all want
to see fail.
As for myself? Ive been hunting glory for 39 years.I now believe that I
actually might find it.
