What has been your lowest point following City?

David Wanker Pleat and his white shoes.

I cried my eyes out as a young blue in Main Stand with my dad consoling me.

Relegation hit me hard that day.

I would agree with some others. 2-0 down against Gillingham at Wembley. I turned to my mate and we both had tears in our eyes. Not bawling just tears enough to run down our cheeks. City's first goal went in and I never moved an inch. When the second went in I have never celebrated a goal so hard in my life. I still think I was the first City fan in the Trafalgar Square fountains that night. Maybe equal with a few others lol.
Losing 5-0 to the scum in about 95ish? I was drunk stupidly threw a pint at a rag and was thrown out of the bar sideways (I was meaning to miss and did) Then smashed my drawers up in my bedroom. Not very clever.
A few weeks back losing at OT listening to always look on th ebright side of life obviously aimed at us. Livid and depressed.
Living in the US and coming back to watch City vs County and getting beat.
Wet Ham in the Qtr finals watching a City team not give a shit.
Going to 5 away games in London about 8 years back seeing a bout 20 goals against and 1 goal for spent a fortune and never got a single point.
Not going to the Blackburn City game promotion (even though I had mnanaged to get a ticket in the Blackburn end) thought best to watch in pub than sit in home end. Not really a low point
Liverpool putting ten past us in a aweek around 95. plus getting chased across Stanley Park after the cup game having left a bit early by about 25 16 year olds. Thinking STANLEY do not let them catch you. I gave it Nicky Sumberbee in Bredbury Hall the weekend after.
Actually feels good writing down a few low pints to show how far we have actually come.
One funny point - Stood outside Lou Macari's chippy pretending to be a red for a few minutes and saying to whoever was in ear shot that we will have to watch out City will be a force to be reckoned with soon and with our debt will certianly take over as number club in Manchester. LOL

Ha, sorry mate I was definitely the first one in!
 
I did say maybe equal. If I am honest there was one lad wading in already. I was next with a few mates. I also left my trainers up on top of one of the fountains and couldn't get back up. How great was that City fans sat on the lions. Lads in the fountains. All around the base of nelsons Column (I think lol)
Drinking in Punch and Judy at god knows how much a pint and realising nearly every Gillingham fan that day was a Gooner, West Ham, Cheslsea or whatever.
Just imagine how good it will be when we do lift a proper trophy
 
Numerous lows...
Tottenham at home in the FA Cup in 1993. Got my one year old (at the time) all dressed up in his first City kit. Left for the game and thought we were on our way to Wembley and got well turned over. Finished with Terry Phelans long distance run and goal and a big embarrasing pitch invasion.

Coventry at home the year after we lost to Spuds in the 81 final. Never turned up and got beat 3-0 at home and my dreams of a Wembley return were over.

Seeing my first game in my brand new seat in the rebuilt Kippax at the end of the 95 season and watching QPR stuff us quite easily (3-0 i think).

Better stop, there are so many. Onward and upward now.

Think it was 3-2 when Burridge went walkabout v QPR. Organinised violence after the match too, at least we had just got safe before hand.

I took my trainers off and they kept getting launched back in the fountain! I later had to walk a large part of the way home because no-one would take us in their taxi. I was freezing my bollocks off, but I didn't care. It was quality everyone on the lions, drinking carry outs and pretty much going mental. I would love to see video footage of that now. What a day and night.
 
I'd say drawing with Bristol Rovers 0-0 just before Christmas in division. It was the worst, most boring game of football that really hit home how truly awful we were. Think we were about 11th in the league that Saturday night and it was the lowest league position we've ever been in.
 
Supported City since early 1968,and never regretted it.Yes,big yes,we have had many,many,low points.But i'm sorry if i can't recall them.They have been wiped from my old fukn brain.ONCE A BLUE,ALWAYS A BLUE,so all low points are gone.The future's bright,the future's BLUE.
 
Brighton away in the 80s.
Getting hammered so we all try and get out but the gates are locked.
Its absolutely pissing down with no roof so we all try and take refuge in a brick shithouse with the only roof for fckin miles.
As Howard Davies (ex Deputy Governor of the Bank of England) later said - "Its a times like these that you wonder what you are doing with your life!"

Halifax 1980 stood on a piece of cardboard which kept sliding down the away end that was a mudbank.

York after losing 2 - 1 and wondering if we are going to go down again after the most inept City display aI have seen in my 44 years of watching the club.

And we have the front to moan cos we only won 2-0 on Wed- get a life boys!

We played quite well at York and were unlucky. Good story though.
