This is the best post iv'e read in ages,

it makes me think why is everyone moaning these days, we should never forget how bad the bad times really were, i'm glad i lived through them it was what being a City fan was all about

Great thread with all emotions illustrated shared over the years. Getting older now so decided this years FA Cup was my last FA Final trip. Wembley is a dump! Local environs are even worse!! But you can't end on a loss can you? So they have managed to do me yet again.

You also speak for me .

Remember getting my first season ticket for my 8th birthday, my best present ever and as my birthday was end of August I got one every year since.

It would just about fit into my pocket and was always shit scared someone would take it off me when I was ripping out the number, would get in the turnstile before ripping it out. Haha great memories.

I remember going to the home games when we were shit. Every game it
was the same scenario. Within a short time we would go one or two goals down and there was no fight in the team. It was depressing.

One Saturday after about twenty minutes we were two down and I said to my mate 'I can't watch this. I will see you in the pub after the game.' I left and walked to the pub. When I got there the pubs were shut probably for security reasons. I had to stand around till the game finished because I was in my mates car.

Sick as a chip but serves me right.

We've lost four on the trot. Is this the New Quadruple?

Those were the days - season ticket confetti and fans taking the free kicks!

Remember in 81 after securing our wembley tickets me and my bro did the season ticket confetti against palace didnt think anything of it until my dad (in a mental rage) questioning where our season tickets where as he needed the applications forms at the back to apply for a replay ticket...darent tell him what wed done

This for me was an iconic moment for City fans. The guy did what everyone was thinking at the time and couldn't handle watching anymore of our performances.

Does anyone remember it? Does anyone know the guy? Where is he now?

I remember being at this game, that said I remember being in the car and listening to the gmr phone in where people were talking about it.

Don't remember the actual game at all.

Was that how it became such an iconic thing as who actually saw him do it. Most places on the Kippax you couldn't see much of the rest of it and if your in the main stand you're not going to know what's going on.

Judging by the comments of quite a few on here on saturday night, I'm guessing there'll be a queue waiting to get on the sacred sward, in order to do the same.
