Re: Why Does Ricky Hatton Want Us To Be Shite Again?
Probably because when we were shite he was young and about to go on an incredible jouney. Now he is an old, washed up man who's best days are behind him, it's not surprising he prefered everything about his life back then.

I know where he's coming from. The pressure that comes with being good is massive when we lose these days it hurts like hell where as back in the shit days we were used to it.
Not a chance I'd go back tho.

The only way to get that feeling of wallowing in constant misery is to switch to being a rag.

It's like he's had a blow to the head or something?

Re: Why Does Ricky Hatton Want Us To Be Shite Again?
I've got a number of mates who don't go to City anymore who say the same. Most don't go because of the ticket prices but to a few, ticket prices are one reason why it's not as good as it used to be.
One lad came to the FL Cup final on the coach with us last season, without a ticket, he just wanted the craic with all the lads on the coach and in the pubs like the old days. He didn't go to the game. But we don't get to do that all that often anymore because of how expensive away games are and people have just dropped off each year. We used to go home and away everywhere. Now we're lucky if we four of us go together three times a season. There is a few away games now where i just drive down on my own.
Of course they still want City to do as well as they can but they just don't enjoy it all like they used to.
In many ways i'm the same. I'm sick of the fucking price hikes year-on-year and i'm sick of all the family orientated/family theme park feel to the Etihad. Football culture is really lacking at City and the club are focusing on the wrong things when it comes to all the "matchday experience". Yesterday showed what an enjoyable football match should be like, but i honestly feel like City week-to-week don't want all that sort of stuff. They want Tarquin and his kids to have a nice day out and spend a load of money, get on their iPads (whether that be during the game or not) and get all the match info and all that guff.
I don't think anyone wants us to be shite again though. They've just not liked the way we're just heading to be another United or Arsenal. CL games have been fucking abysmal at the Etihad so far with tourists, away fans and UEFA corporates all over the ground. That's not what City have ever been about and it doesn't sit right with me that we've become like that and i am worried that Prem games are going in the same direction.
But even if City lose my custom because they've finally priced me out or i've just had enough of the family theme park and toursits, i'll never want us to be shite again

Back when we were shit the best thing about us was celebrity fans like Ricky Hatton. Now we are unbelieveable with superstar players people care less about a washed up boxer so he probably misses being the big shot.
I saw him at the match last season and he was in the rubbish cheap hospitality, the one on East Stand Level one which is just a private bar and a normal seat. He probably resents that as when we were shit he was a chairman club guest!
