The guy who ripped his season ticket in front of the Kippax

I’ve only just realised you’re all talking about the Bury game in ‘98 or whatever.

I thought you were on about another guy who ran on the pitch and did the same thing sometime in the 80s.

Yes I seem to remember something similar though old age may have clouded my memory. We certainly gave the club and team both barrels at times. Today's happy clappers would have a total breakdown lol. Remember everyone singing, "What the fuck is going on?" And "You're not fit to wear the shirt." Also, "We're shit and we're sick of it."

Probably the scruffiest and shittest goal ever scored.
DEFINITELY the best celebrations after a goals been scored.
Always get goosebumps watching that.

Great day. Very lively occasion. Why is the footage always of that guy filming it off his tele though?

The fact it’s on his tele must surely mean there’s better footage out there?

The only game where I didn't even bother coming back from the concourse for the 2nd half. Just stayed drinking and having a chat with my mates (we were far from the only ones).

The horrendous 0-0 vs Sheffield United under Warnock was at Maine Road and was a night match

Valentine's day 1998. My birthday was the day before and my then girlfriend had travelled up from Wiltshire for both events, a romantic weekend. She wanted to go to the game as she knew how much City meant to me and wanted to share that with me ( Bless. )

I remember just after halftime she turned to me and said incredulously, "This is awful and I know nothing about football. How do you watch this rubbish every week????" I had to agree. She found it hilarious when the lad ripped his season ticket up right in front of us lol.

She sounds like a decent lass. Are you going to share the rest of your romantic tale? - I take it you are no longer with her?

It was voted the worst ever game in our history on some website and I probably wouldn't argue with that. Mind you a 0-0 draw at home to Sheffield United under Pearce, on a bitterly cold day, comes close. The one game I contemplated fucking off at halftime. At the final whistle I wished I had.

There certainly were a few stinkers to choose from. I remember a home game with Reading where Danny Tiatto was sent off after about 5 minutes and I don't think we really got close to having a shot and inevitably lost.It was genuinely disturbing to witness the total ineptness which is where the humour came from.
 
Reading and watching these posts is just one of many reasons why our fans were so respected back then.

Not only were we shitter than thick shit, but we had the vermin on our frontier.


Our black humour, self depreciation and sheer bloody minded loyalty to keep turning up home and away endeared us to a lot of rivals and neutrals....including many rags.

It's what it means to be a City fan and why we must enjoy our current position but never ever become entitled and arrogant.
