Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Without a regular dose of training news from Doug it occurred to me that there is a big sad hole on this forum and that hole is the updates we used to get from Kippax.
I read through his "10 yr post" from March and thought how sad it is that such a great contributor had been driven away. I read far more than I post on here and do both in fits and starts.
Some of the characters and personalities and their contributions make the site far more interesting. Kippax, if you are travelling with the team in the USA, I for one would love to hear how it is going from your perspective.

Funny this post comes up. I have been keeping an eye out for a post from him, and he has normally done one by now telling us his advetures so far, who's he's met and little snippets of interesting information. I don't think we will get that again and that saddens me. The poor chap got a load of shit on his 10 year post which was not deserved.

He wasn't 'driven away'. Kippax is super busy international businessman. He was never regular contributor in sense that our regular posters are. He simply wouldn't have time for that.
One of the genuinely nicest people you are ever likely to meet anywhere. City or not.
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?

Just a few jealous knob-heads trying to put him down, they only succeeded in embarrassing themselves IMO.
Anyway, he's still around and hasn't been driven away.

Great poster. Always felt very envious of his access to games and players, and always enjoyed him sharing his stories with us.
