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

[Philbo]

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 thought he threw it on the pitch... there was a story he got it back in the post with a note saying "if we have to watch this shit, then so do you"..

seem to remember it might have been the last game of the season?!

Those days are long gone now. I mean, have you tried ripping up a seasoncard? You'd need to take scissors with you to cut it up, and then you'd be nicked for bringing an offensive weapon into the ground with you.

That was a different incident, albeit it happened in the same game as the bloke who tore his ST up - a 1-0 home defeat to Bury.

Those were the days :-)

This is true. Nobody get's away that easy.

That's the exact reason they introduced season cards... so pissed off fans couldn't storm the pitch rip them up and throw them at the manager

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

 

[fiddlesticksblue]

Not sure it's the same incident but my brother Trev did exactly that when we were getting trounced by Liverpool 5-0, his season ticket was confetti that day.
Well, he came with me to Wembley last week and despite the result we both had a cracking day.

He posts on here too!!

O yes those were the days and some of you think Kolerov is bad ha ha short memorys some of you have.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Go on I'll be the first to say it, how about the bloke who nailed his season ticket to a fence with a note saying he'd had enough. He changed his mind and went back for it a couple of hours later and someone had nicked the nail....

Ah, happy days....

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Those were the days :-)

Seasons which teemed with one glorious defeat followed by another half dozen.

Im sure someone did it near me yesterday, not ripped but bent.

walked down the stairs near 142 / 101 and lopped it at the pitch.

couldn't see exactly from where I was though, so may have been something else

Yep thats the one. I remember it was valentines day and a couple was having their wedding at maine road.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I'd say we've all had those days

Mine was Wembley v Gillingham, couldn't get out the place quick enough but just when i was out (for good) the bastards drew me back in again(O:

 

[kit's blue]

I am sure i remember the incident , if its the same one he ran onto the pitch in front of the Kippax and slumped to his knees and ripped his season ticket into two and threw them in the direction of the main stand, then just sat there. The police seemed reluctant to remove him as he was doing what most in Maine Road at that moment felt like doing. I was told City returned his ticket and didnt ban him.

 

[BTH]

Had to did this out...

Like a married couple who have had a tiff, but always find each other again.
