It's rare I can get to a game due to finances/travel etc. but I have fond memories of the 4-1 win at Ewood Park that brought us back to the PL in 2000 I reckon that's my happiest memory of a City game. Anyway, hello and I'll probably go back to lurking again now!


Bugger me Lauren I wish we only had the travel cost from Darwen!!!!

Anyway welcome to 'above the paraphet'. Lurking is now officially banned whilst we are good, as there are none of those mortal fights we used to have on here about everything bad!

I know it sounds bloody ridiculous, but not driving does make it a bit difficult, something goes tits up every time! I'm now trying to adhere to the ban, let's see how it goes! ;-)

Hi Blues,

I'm a big fan of City, but i have never been to a game because it's a long way from home. Im from Sweden by the way. I have planned to travel to Manchester and see one or two games when I have the money.

And why I started to like Manchester City was because my friends liked different teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool but when I watched one match I felt no passion for the teams, and a few weeks later I saw a City match, and that's when I felt the love and the passion. A major factor was the players, the colors, but mostly how they played ball.

And then I have always hated Man Utd! And their players such as Rooney, R Giggs, Ferdinand, and Ferguson!!

Greetings from Sweden!!

Hiya, so whereabouts in Sweden are you from? A trip to Manchester doesn't necessarily have to be all that expensive. If you plan your trip in advance you can get quite good hotel deals and cheap flights to either Manc or Liverpool. I usually end up spending more on ale than on travel an accommodation whenever I'm over ...

Last time I was at a home game (v Wigan, Zabba scored), it was £20.50. How times have changed, eh?

Hi Guys new to the forum and App but enjoying the 'banter'.

City fan of over 45 yrs based in Cheadle Hulme Stockport.

My first question (apologies if it's been asked elsewhere!) is Mario B injured or out of favour with RM?

Can't believe he's been dropped on form so wondering why he wasn't on the bench.

Look forward to reading more about the 'one religion' that is MCFC!

Welcome. Mario had a little ankle injury but is now down with a virus. Definitely in favour.

Wigan at home was £25 for me this season so they haven't changed that much.

Yeah, I based my prices on the south stand as well. Only been in the east stand once (third tier) against Chelsea, just before MH got the boot. If my memory serves me correct that cost around 35 quid, but it was two seasons ago ...
My last home game was in February last year against WBA. I think that one was around 25 for in the second tier of the south stand.

.....erm!...excuse me!...but do you still have room on here for an ageing fat bastard.

I have been a City fan since 423BC when the team used to change in an old damp and mouldy shoe box. The players only had 1 boot between them and I well remember that after they passed the ball, players had run accross and give the boot to the next player.

Regretfully,my old coal driven laptop burnt out and I couldn't afford to have the chimney swept. Just got back online and thought I'd check out if this new laptop and tinterweb connections were all working properly.

luv n hugs to all



you are not fooling any1, you was here b4 423bc
