Are these kitchens in Manchester, by any chance? Welcome to the board, but this post should be in a transfer thread.

Well if they are, it'll take a helluva lot of shifting to get them out of the showroom and round to people's homes.

Well hello you fellow blues.

I'm Herb and I suppose I could best be described as a longterm City fan because I've been attending games since Colin Bell was doing the honours - yes, that old.
I'm a season card holder in CB L2 and I'm here as a refugee from bluemoan which I discharged myself honourably from in disgust at the way that the bigoted few were allowed to throw hostility at new and / or foreign fans. I'm not happy with that 'if you weren't at york you're not a true blue' attitude that a few idiots have because I served my time as a fan longing for my club to be big enough to be on the world stage and exciting enough to inspire new fans to follow us. That's where we're at now and I'm pleased and proud of our club, our players and of everyone who supports us regardless of where they live or how long they've been doing it.

Anyhow, that's my two minutes on the soap box and my introductions complete except to say that I'm delighted to join your good company.
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

Welcome Herb, we share a similar vintage. It's also nice to have someone on here I can look down on (I'm in CB L3)!

Well Peter, I'm the bloke below you who goes ballistic at the officials - I see goading the ref as part of the home advantage - sometimes with good nature and sometimes with serious concern!

Alex, no not at York (but due respect to those who were provided it's not used as a stick to beat those who weren't with) and indeed not at many of the more obscure away fixtures because I did my stint home and away as a teenager in the 70's. In fact I skipped quite a bit of school due to midweek aways and hence my poor education ;-). I was married with kids by the time I was in my early 20's and missed a lot of games because I was working away from home trying to pay the mortgage for years but things are different now because I've long been at an age where I can prioritise and afford my season ticket and away games are on the basis of if can I get a ticket - which can be tricky because so many supporters have spent years selling on away tickets to boost their loyalty points (I know because I've been a buyer from others at times).

Burt, delighted to make the acquaintance and yes I'll stick at it because I enjoy the banter and feel that us old un's can bring a bit of insight and balance to those more fresh from the cradle.

Welcome Herb,

Im a Bluemoan refugee myself ! I soon got bored of the relentless moaning and drivel on there plus the decent thoughtfull balanced posts from quality posters lasted only seconds due to the sheer volume of "traffic" on that forum . I am also "old school" like yourself now enjoying the glorious fantastic ride i only ever managed to dream about in my youth in the late seventies early eighties :) may they continue for many many more seasons !

Hello Blues!

I'm new to the site and just wanted to say hello. I've been a blue from birth, born where we could see the floodlights of Maine Road. Used to go to all the games at Maine Road with my old man, and had season tickets at the Etihad until 2009 when my sister was born so we had to stop. Awful timing if ever I've seen it. After season tickets for next year though now I'm 18 so I'll be keeping an eye out for any threads on that.

All the best blues,

Dale

I'm Steve.

Lifelong City follower (can't call myself a fan as I live too far away to go to matches).
Chose City when I was about 5 years old as every other fucker supported the scum. I'm now 49.

I remember the '81 cup final like it was yesterday, and Aguuuuueeeerrrrooooo as the greatest moment of my City life.

Other lovely memories are Dennis Tueart, Rodney Marsh, the joys of Bekovic and Bernabia, The Goat, 6-1 and every time the rags get found out in Europe.

Also have a soft spot for my home town team Southampton, and even though it might not be right on a City forum, Le Tissier is probably my all time favourite player.

44 years of this and you don't consider yourself a fan?

I'm pretty sure if you asked their favourite ever non-City player here half of the people would say Le Tissier. Me included.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

At least Wallace came through Southampton ranks so he makes it somewhat relevant.

I always had you down as Lee Sharpe fan though.
