Thanks from my old man

[oakiecokie]

I got a call too, unfortunately I missed the call but spoke to them later, no offer of shopping as I live in York but a very nice gesture which was much appreciated. Thought I should mention I blagged a place on the bench for the next home game!

And I bet you were the only true Blue to travel all those years ago to ...

Rang me to, I said cheeky bastard I am only 58, ha ha only joking that's class by the club.

Great age (exactly the same as me). God we are by and large an old bunch of cuts on here :-) Reading the age statistics for Covid-19 we should be okay for around about a couple of years yet. :-) Stay safe all.

I am pretty sure that City have one of the oldest fan bases in the Premier League,mainly due to the total mis-management of the club by P J Swales esquire.
We lost a generation of kids to the rags but us oldies are now taking our grandkids to games and turning them into the new generation of Blues.

We are also known as FATS ; Fucking Ancient Twats. (Also know as fats due to my waist size courtesy of Mr Guinness.) ;)

Famously 'Orrible Cocks
Freakishly Old Clingons

Which newspaper is going to be the first to claim City are getting in touch with vulnerable fans to see if they’ve fallen victim to the Coronavirus so they can sell their seats on to Chinese tourists?

 

[Eccles Blue]

I received my call a couple of weeks ago, a lovely young lady called Tamsin. We ended up having a laugh and a joke or two. I guess they started with the really old people first just in case.............I’ll leave you to fill in the rest of that sentence! *lol*
Great service from our wonderful club.

If you were in the Billy Meredith fan club,and you saw him play at Hyde Road,then you are eligible for the call.

I read that as 'cull' not 'call' at first!

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Yep, I had mine a week ago, and thought they were starting with those in CBL3 who bought a Bovril pre-match!

isn't that discriminating against vegetarians?

 

[Rochdale Blue]

funny really as i am only 55 surprised to get a phone call Of course it was a mistake and as i explained my disability he said "Anything i can do to make life easier" i responded with " Ay sort out are defence for next season(If we finally get there)

Should have asked them to send Kyle and the girls round.

FOC was abbreviation for Free Of Charge for decades,but the sharp witted gentlemen of Bluemoon (mainly Dave Ewing and Oakie Cokie) have twisted the Queens English into exactly what you think. "F**k**g O*d C**ts.
But the again English is a language that is always evolving,so God only knows what they will dream up next.

I'm pretty sure the phrase was coined by a certain Mr Alan Pardew to Manuel Pellegrini at half time in a match at Newcastle, when the home team had a goal controversially ruled out for offside. The phrase has now become an accepted part of the English vernacular.
I'm 70 next Tuesday, and have still to receive my call. I live in hope.

Thanks for the info pal. I remember the incident at SJP and Curbishley cursing at Manuel, but I hadn't realised that the phrase had become widely used. You live and learn everyday.
Hope you enjoy your 70th birthday next week although I suspect that your options for celebrating are going to be very curtailed.

Funnily enough these days there are a good number of us travelling over, however back in the 70’s & 80’s not too many. What helped was an advert in Blue Print, which got a group of us travelling together from North & West Yorks, mostly expat Mancs but a surprising number of Yorkies. Travelling in numbers was a great move forward, now sons of that original group are in their 20’s!

Bovril is suitable for veggies, it's never even been near a cow.

Thanks for that. I would expect it will be a quiet meal for one - fillet steak, etc and a bottle of wine, plus a sticky toffee pudding, heavy on the custard!

Wouldn't know, I prefer oxo.

And it's reverse ageism, too RB. Starting with the FOCs over 70! What about the YWs in the Family Stand! No matter how folk try, they'll never get it right in these ultra-politically correct times!

‘Kin bastards didn’t ring me, self isolating 100% with nearest family over an hour away. They only want to know why I’ve missed 2 home games (a mate couldn’t go). Not too bad considering that I’ve had a kidney taken out and been in hospital with heart failure for 3 weeks and I’m on my 6th week of recovery. All this season.

Well, I was 57 last December and I haven't received any call as of yet. Mind you, I'm only a Cityzen member, so I'm assuming we won't be getting any call anyway.

Did you trip over a black cat ?
Get well and stay safe

And I thought I'd had a bad month..
