Your City life: "Where were you when we were...?"

[acton28.blog]

On the Beeb website they have a disrespectful to other leagues and anything pre-Premier League link called, "My Premier League Life." Had a go?

My Manchester City life. Some of it is disrespectful:
My club
Founded: 135 years ago [1880??? Gary James is always clearing this one up]
Ground: Etihad Stadium [It ignores our time spent at Maine Road/City of Manchester Stadium/Oakwell]
Seasons in Premier League: 18 [Think about it, we have won 2/18 and have a chance of making it 3/18... that isn't that bad]

Milestone matches
First match after I was born, Saturday 30 October 1982
League Division One: Manchester City 2-1 Swansea City

First match after I turned 18: Saturday 28 October 2000
Premier League: Arsenal 5-0 Manchester City
[That was my 18th birthday present. Typical City.]

At the game

Total attendance in my lifetime

Highest average attendance in my lifetime: 2013-14 season [this'll be beaten this season]

Summing up my life watching City as per BBC Footy
43% of matches won
73% of seasons in the top tier
61% of seasons with a top 10 finish
24% of years with an honour

If I'd watched every match played since I was born, I'd have spent at least...
147,330minutes or 2,456hours or 103days ...supporting Man City [I wish I had]

Obviously stats can't tell you about other great and terrible moments - but I'd not swap the journey in any way!

Add some unsung heroes, some lows, some stats, summat good. That's my Christmas geeking out over with for now.

Pelle 64% win rate. Can anyone do better?​

 

[Why Always Ste]

Daft really as it doesn't provide an option of choosing a club which is no longer in the Premier league but has competed in the league previously such as Coventry, Leeds etc...

That's because it is aimed purely at utd fans to help them feel superior again! The poor lambs are going through a tough time at the mo!

Half the matches played have been in my lifetime.

My Dad said pretty much the same thing, said he was glad about me seeing the hard times, then banged on about how lucky teenagers and kids are now.
