'Where were you when you were shit' has always been Man City's opening chant. Always after the home supporters first chant.

In 1997, Man City averaged 27k in the Championship I knew someone would say that, conveniently forgetting the 16k average you had in 1990?! And in the 1997 you averaged 35k in the prem. I went through the full 35 years of winning nothing and still went in the bad days, so I am can vouch for the hardcore support we continued to have during that period. Yes we now have an additional 10k match going fans from our pre-takeover average in 2008. They are largely made up of fans who picked and choosed previously which games they attended rather than tourists. All I am saying is get your tin hats on, especially if you end up overtaking the established elite. That is when the press go full pelt on you for daring to overtake their darlings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4181 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 35k was our capacity in 97 like. I work in Manchester and I like the Man City fans, they had really good attendances in the second and first division imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19888 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I loved the chants to the Man Ure fans this season of "Were the fans from Manchester" Whilst piling it onto Ole behind the wheel. The fukcing Norweigan Carver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS even teams like Brighton and Bournemouth (no disrespect meant) sing it to us! Everyone will forget what happened before you had money, in fact Newcastle will only have history from the point of takeover. Forget the trophies you have won before....they don't exist. The old "Big 4" don't know how to handle being overtaken with the exception of Chelsea. And they control the media so you get it from all angles. But I wouldn't swap it for anything….just enjoy the ride and hopefully you can challenge for the title with us. Be great to see you overtake United & the Dippers and watch the frothing at the mouths 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I mean, we haven't won a trophy in 50 years so I could see them making an argument there with some success I have to admit like, I haven't really had an issue with City winning the league since the other clubs are at least making a go of it, but that result against Watford in the FA Cup.. Idk man, if that was ever us winning 6-0 I think i would have started to feel a bit embarassed about it. I said recently in another thread that all your money makes it hard to have strong feelings about you as a club, positive or negative. If it went the same way for us, I think it would be a disconnect from what i believe the personality of the club to be. That said, I believe that personality is summarised as one of "glorious failure" so perhaps any success would be a disconnect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Honestly the press give us pelters now. We have to sit and watch utter cunts like Rio Ferdinand sit and praise Ashley while he’s running NUFC into the ground with “what does a club like Newcastle expect?”. Even our ex-players like Bellamy pile into the fan base for being deluded and mostly get agreement. I’m sure if we do start overtaking the media darlings Bellamy will be the first to highlight his NUFC career. Edited May 30, 2019 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@yourservice 67 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I don’t think you’ll hear from the club until the Sheikh makes an official “Ive bought the toon” statement.

It was just announced one morning, I would view the publicity as worrying as this isn't how they go about their business. Hope it is true though as it will be great to see another set of fans go through what we have lived for the last 10 years. Just get ready for the "where were you when you were shit" songs followed by the accusation that you only became fans in 2019! I think we’d all settle for that tbh I’d happily settle for Ashley out and steady investment/improvement. But if some daft arab wants to throw money at us then I couldn’t care less what people sing at us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
