Tonight's football thread

[IainR]

Iain - It will take us City fans some time to come down from the emotional high of winning the league. It wasn't just an end to a 44-year wait for most of us, it was like a sort of redemption and a justification for those of us who had stayed loyal through all those years, which let's be honest were made even more difficult for us as most of them were spent in the shadows of you lot. Do you honestly think Uniteds fan base would have stayed as loyal through so many lean years? Remember when you were crowned European champions in Barcelona we were playing in the third tier of English football.

Not at all..

Look at how Hulls attendances dropped after they went down.. all fans have glory supporters..

I think United would continue to get 30+ k.. yeah for sure..

14 years ago... after many 100's and 100's of millions.. I don't begrudge you that at all.. I just laugh at the plucky little City comments..

I supported City when they were playing against gillingham.. I wanted them back in the PL..

Listening to you its like Bradford are now doing a City...

The fans who make me laugh the most though are the true Scouse fans.. 'I'm a true fan.. I'm from Surrey and I've supported Liverpool for 25 years since 1987.. I'm no glory supporter'

So you chose to support them when they were the best team in the country...

Football clubs have cycles of success, it is why Fergie deserves such credit as he has built team after team after team..

Credit for sticking with City.. I don't think many fans change their clubs*.. as I've said many times your club is picked for you.. some of us were just lucky.. But no doubt United will again go through bad times.. Look at Rangers at the moment.. its just a journey. TBF I'd rather follow a team like City who have at least packed your seasons with drama than a Villa.. a team who just sit in the premiership and offer their fans little drama..

Stopping going to games is another thing.. I watch Wednesday a bit with mates from sheffield.. the other year I plaid £26 or something idiotic to watch the most atrocious game against Brentford.. But the clubs have to soon realise that they can't charge those fees to watch dross..
