Rather late in the day, we have decided to renew my granddaughter’s season ticket. We tried to do it online this afternoon. Everything was fine until we came to pay and a message came up saying that a child’s ticket could not be bought alone, it has to be bought in conjunction with an adult...

Blackburns failure to beat Bolton three days before the Wolves game confirmed our promotion. By the time we met, both Wolves and ourselves were up.

It took him those three games to get to grips with the team. After these games the form of that team was transformed. A team that was constantly losing hit a level that wasn’t far off play off form if continued across a season. Oxford were red hot favourites for that game. I’m pretty sure if...

I don’t think you take into account the other costs of attending games. Admittedly the money doesn’t go to the club, but it still leaves the bank account. Travel costs are not cheap. Lots of people travel long distances both to home and away games. Anyone who did the recent Preston/ Wigan/...

He did for a while

Well that isn’t true. Milne had to work with severe financial restraints for much of his time at City. He took us to the second highest finish in our history and was a whisker away from having us qualify for Europe. He also produced arguably the best ever City team, certainly my favourite ever...

Having been to both of the recent games at the Riverside, I have been really impressed with the support for Boro. Last night in particular I thought the home support was great, really noisy. Mark Robins commented on the noise in the stadium in his post match comments. What really showed the...

Graham Oakey (my favourite ever right back), not Donal Murphy

I disagree. There’d be calls for Robins head after the first two games if we hadn’t won one of them. Using the first games back in League One after promotion as a case in point. We lost to Scunthorpe at home (unluckily) and held Wimbledon 0-0 away in the next game. Robins was getting dogs abuse...

The instance that I can remember with McSheffrey was. I think in the 6-1 win over Derby when Dennis Wise made his debut. As far as I can remember, Stern John had already scored two when City were awarded a penalty. McSheffrey was the designated taker and insisted on taking the pen which John...

It was v Stevenage I think

If Reading brought 1500, that would have left 4500 spaces in the away end. So they were saying there were 4500 empty seats in the rest of the ground? If there were, we couldn’t see them. It had to be more than was published.

Bobby Gould I think scored 24 1966-67 promotion season. Could be an omen!

Traffic very slow on Walsgrave Road!

Tommy will be the match day guest on Friday for our game against Swansea. The Swans have kindly allowed us to sell the book both in the club shop and in the lounges before and after the game. We will be in the club shop from 12:30 until 1:15. Any City fans who arrive early or who are based in...

I met Max on Saturday. Like most of the ex-players I have met, he was a nice, unassuming bloke. I asked him if he had retired and he said no, he has been injured since leaving City. He said he hoped to be back in football next season.

A lovely film that! On that day, if you’d have said that in 6 years time, Robins would still be here, we would be 3 points off the play offs in the championship, had 13k ST holders, approaching 20k average gates and would play Stoke before a crowd of 23k+ (but would get thumped 4-0), oh and...

The last book selling event (that I know of at this stage) will be at Swansea on Good Friday. I will put details of the day on here later in the week so that any travelling City fans or any of those based in South Wales have a chance to meet the great man and buy a signed book if they want to...

Think it must be early ‘87 as the trees don’t seem in bloom plus there is no one driving around with sky blue ribbons attached to their car bonnet.

Just a reminder that Tommy will be in the casino after the game tomorrow. He will be signing copies of his book for anyone who hasn’t bought one yet. However, if you’re not buying a copy, still come over and say hello and get a photo as he is a really approachable chap. If you can’t make it...
