One thing's for sure, you've brought it back into fashion now! (On here anyway)

I like the fact that we are now City Fans, collectively we are the blues, but there are loads of different blues. Everyone understands who City Fans are now

In an attempt to not sound like a 'Johnny come lately glory hunter' you have proven you are a 'Johnny come lately glory hunter' by not knowing a nickname that has gone back literally generations... Well done.



Ok this leads me to a question then, when is the date that is considered the glory hunter cutoff??

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Well you joined this site during Stuart Pearce's last season in charge, if you started supporting us then I wouldn't worry about being a glory hunter, I would worry that there is something seriously wrong with you and that you hate yourself a LOT.

Guess I am safe seeing that I went to my first match in 1999. Thanks for that clarification (as if I didn't think some clown would use that date). ;)

Slim it is worse, we were just 5 months past Wembley/Gillingham when I was hooked and in the Championship at the time. So any evidence that I am thick lies clearly within that.

Small glories perhaps, but I call gloryhunter...just a sad one.
