That reminds me, I need to reserve my ticket with my old man for this one. What a pleasure it was to watch us take them to pieces last season whilst I was sat among their support.
I've got the companies 2 season tickets for this, finally been allowed them after 5 years working there. Think it's due to last season reminded my boss before the game that as the third goes in he'll wish he'd let me have them.
Obviously worried it'll happen again so I'm going with my lad, be hard to keep quiet but will do my best.
You've got to properly concentrate for ninety minutes. I had to have my wits about me from the second I walked in last season. My dad was holding court with a few mates in the lounge prior to the game (some of whom had expressed some surprise at my attendance!) and I had to chivvy him along to the seats as I knew the game was starting. As I walked up the steps (just behind my dad) I could tell the match had already started and as I got to the top of the steps the very first thing I saw was Edin putting the ball in the net. I didn't even see Samir's shot hit the post! Obviously I wanted to scream, but I knew I couldn't so all I could think to do was squeeze my dad's hand, which doubtless pissed him off no end.
Fucking loved the rest of that game. Sitting among people who doubtless used to routinely mock my football club and watch my team completely take them to pieces over ninety minutes was an absolute joy. Dad's seats are virtually on the half-way line and the view is incredible; we completely outplayed and out-powered them that evening. Many of those around me looked completely shell-shocked at the experience.
In its own way, as enjoyable a game as I've been to, for what it signified, both to me and to City.
