It has been clear for a long time that the Rags / Dippers especially, have collected " supporters " because of their successes in the past. Whilst it will be killing them to see our progress, they wont jump ship soon imo, as they will believe that return is only round the corner - whether it be true or not .
We will no doubt collecting a new brand of supporter who are similar to the glory hunters which attach themselves to any successful team, although I like to believe that our core supporters are of a different class due to the ups/downs, successes and failures we have endured during our time as supporters. I have supported City since 1954 so can speak with some knowledge , and both my sons have only really witnessed success sine Mancini.
I don't accept your thought that we are " favourites for the chumps league " , and refuse to take anything for granted . We are however playing some of the best football I have seen, and hope that will continue to be the case, irrespective of what we actually win.
There's a lot of kids up and down the country wearing the blue of City these days. Suppose it comes naturally to be associated with winners.
