Wonder if they still include the gravy stains?

So players like Denis Law and Shaun Goater clearly don’t count as “City legends”. Sounds about right. Nothing before the oil money, please…

Have spoke to Mark a few times. He’s sorted me out with some bits but he has a big short cut to getting a lot of shirts. His cousin or uncle is Mick McCarthy, who obviously has a big City connection. The more recent ones aren’t worth that much as each player has 2/3 per game, so dead easy to obtain. Only ones from the big games (CL final etc) are worth big money. Tbh, I honestly think we’ll end up in the Premier League so whatever mine are worth now (I wouldn’t even consider opening talks for less than £150k), they’ll rocket in the coming years. I reckon if a Wrexham fan had a similar collection to mine they’d be worth millions because of the Yank factor.

A season or two up there to see it, go to the grounds on an equal footing, cause the odd upset, a bit like Huddersfield, and then back down with the memories. Would hate to be midtable fodder like Palace with no hope of reaching Europe and probably not going down.

Although suspect Palace will have a really good season but you get the point.

Yes. 3 seasons up there please. You go up and straight down and you were good enough to sneak up but no more. You go up and down after two seasons and you came up and fooled everyone for a season, but were sent packing once you got rumbled. Have 3 seasons there and you proved you were good enough to stay up and deserved to be there even after people sussed what you were about. First season go up and stay up about 15th/16th after a slight relegation fight. Second season the surprise season and maybe hit even 13th or 12th, with no relegation fight. Third season, perhaps not quite a last day agony, but put a good but failed fight against relegation. After 3 years the circus, the moved kick off times, Sky, stuff like constant sold out away games, constant bans on bags in grounds, etc...would all start to get too annoying. The only way I'd want more than 3 is if we went up and were like Brighton or Brentford and really competitive. If we were just a fodder team finishing 13th or 14th all the time like Palace I couldn't be arsed with it after 3 or 4 years.

Was mates with a Wigan fan, sadly no longer with us. He'd had enough of it by the end of the second season and that was back before VAR. Only reason he was happy with a second season was so he could tick off grounds he had no intention of returning to.
Sadly, he died in the summer before they won the FA Cup. Double-enjoyed their last minute winner against City.

It’ll be so they get to know the scores of other games I’d imagine and know what results are needed to keep ahead of competitors/catch up etc. at a guess.
