If we were to lift the League Cup next week.............What will it mean to you ?

For me it will be the dream I dared to dream come true as I use to dream of us winning this Cup as I always thought it was our best chance of ever lifting a trophy in my time !!

Of course its all very different now but it will still be a honour to see us lift the cup next week.

Losing to Palace in the ¼ finals 94 ? Still springs to mind

well for me as everyone else its all domestic the trophies in 4 years ( thats a big if not counting any chickens ) i would never ever of dreamed of that 5-10 years ago.
 
Its a fantastic achievement if we can win it and it would complete the full set already this century!!!

1st tier Champions 2012

(By the way we have been runners-up in them all this century too!)
 
My dad didn't take me in 74 or 76 and promised to take me to the next one as these were his last chance of going down to the smoke on the piss with his mates before becoming a fully fledged member of the dad n' lads club. He brought me back a Batman comic book and a Newcastle rosette a Geordie gave him for his son (me) as he had no more whisky to share with my dad. On the Sunday I tied my silk scarf around my wrist and we walked into town to see the cup brought back to the town hall. We got our first season tickets the following season as my dad said those immortal words ''son this team is going places''. I've had those season tickets since 1977 and although I saw us in the 81 Cup final when I was 16 but I never got the chance to see City as a young boy at Wembley.

Winning the League Cup for me is a kind of closure for the upset of not seeing us beat Newcastle and as it comes against Sunderland their rivals and the Denis Tueart connection it also carries some significance for me. Although I started watching City in 72 they were the first team I ever saw watching from the Kippax on their 73 cup run sat on my dads shoulders. There were thousands of Mackems trying to get into the Kippax that day and a worried father tried taking his son out at half time only to find their were hundreds outside trying to get in. The first time I went to Roker Park with my mates and not my dad was for a midweek game which we won 4-2 and when I got home in the early hours of the morning I found a note on my pillow from my dad which I still have about that first game on the Kippax and my trip to Roker that night.

It's the cup strangely I've always wanted to see us win as I always played it out on my subbuteo as it was always the City and Newcastle teams I got.
 
First time I saw us win something and the last cup we won for a very long time.
Dennis Tueart's overhead kick and Malcolm Macdonald in tears at full time. What a mard arse, I thought, and then 81 came along and I didn't think he was soft anymore.
I'd love us to win this.

I am of an age where I had lost hope that I would see City win another Trophy until we had takeover day.

All my dreams were centred on this one - especially when the billy big bollocks sides started playing kids in it. I used to dream we got a couple of home draws against lowly opposition and then later the Draw throws in games like Arsenal v Man Utd in the QF's and we somehow find ourselves in the Final.

As we found out last year once in the Final anything can happen on the day.

It would be emotional because the last time we won it I was a mere boy being there with my dad who is sadly no longer here so it would bring back happy memories !

Same here, it'll be 44 years less a few days since me with my late mum and dad boarded the coach down to Wembley for the League Cup Final against West Brom. It was my first visit to Wembley as I'd not had enough tokens to get a ticket for the previous season's FA Cup Final. My parents ended up in the West Brom end after getting tickets off a tout. Great memories of a cabbage patch of a pitch, the fantastic atmosphere in the City end, Glyn Pardoe's winner in extra time and celebrating all the way back home.
