I did the same thing as this lad in the same season only I did it earlier at home to Bradford on the 22nd November. It was half time in the Kippax and I was having an argument with one of my mates (denishasdoneit on here) about how we were going to get relegated if we didn't make a stand and sort it out. He told me if I felt that strongly about it to fuck off and so I did. I walked over to the steward who opened one of the gates for me and I walked over to the Sherwood and got pissed as a fart. We won 1-0 with a late Tony Vaughan goal if I remember correctly with everyone telling me we'll be ok. The morning after I ripped up my season ticket (I've still got it) and spent the next 6 months feeling as low as I ever had done about City. I wrote an article in Bert Trautman's Helmet fanzine about it and got slagged to fuck off some whilst others empathised.
A chance meeting via BTH with Willie Donachie (my favourite ever City player) ended up with me swapping phone numbers with him and doing a two hour interview for the fanzine. Willie told me there would be a ticket waiting for me for the final home game v QPR including a drink in the players suite afterwards. I took him up on the offer but after the shit result I made my way over to the Parkside for a drink there instead.
I was dragged back into the fold and it ended my lowest point supporting City.
