Hi.....just joined.
I've been reading the forum for a few years but never plucked up the courage to join in.
I'm from Dublin and found this forum and, dare I say it, Bluemoon, the best sources for real information about what's going on at City. The media stuff we get here is no better than the UK.
I used to love reading Doug's training reports in particular.
My first recollection of choosing City for better or worse was about 1970 when I was 7. My older brothers followed City and Arsenal and the rest of the road were the usual Utd/Liverpool mix and back then Chelsea and Leeds were big too.
I try to get over for a couple of matches a year, but haven't been over yet this year. Myself and my 12 year old son are coming over for the Newcastle match and am dying to see the development that's been going on.
Is the new campus worth a visit or would he get to see anything?
We usually go early to the ground because he loves it around the Etihad and always wants to get inside as early as possible.
Quite a few youngsters over here openly wearing City jerseys. Not as many as the usual red wearing lot, but things are definitely on the up.
Anyway that's enough for a first post.
