    Two of my colleagues at work - one whom supports Bolton and the other Sunderland - think there is far more play acting in League 1 compared to the Championship and the Premier League. I have to say there does appear to be a lot of feigning injury at our level and slowing the game down.

    Speaking of the good old days, roughly 10 years ago to the day, we played Accrington away. I'll never forget those final 10 minutes.

    I think it was Accrington away a fair few years ago when I went and we won 2-0. Thorne double in the first half.

    Move with times.

    Stand still and you get overtaken.

    If you won't non league then go support park avenue.

    Get some drive and ambition in your life. Stop living in the past.

    I definitely don't get the nostalgia for a return to watching City stood on a crumbling Kop, open to the elements, or indeed visiting some of the other run down grounds of the 70s watching 4th division football.

    I prefer to see us somehow returning to the 2nd tier, and watching my football in modern stadiums.

    The thought of standing on a crappy open away terrace getting piss
    Wet through just does not appeal anymore

    Thats the reason I've never been tempted to go to Accrington Stanley to watch City.

    Good old days?. Strange phrase. My dad goes on about the good old days, like when he was a kid and his family shared an outside loo with other neighbours on the street

    I remember him doing that away at Macclesfield? Both goals scored very early.

    Apologies you are right.
    Was it an open terrace at Macclesfield too? Forgot I’d even been there.

    Well stop talking about the 70's when I wasn't born.

    Talk about the here and now. The future.

    The way Edin is carrying on you will get your wish and we will struggle in non league.

    Support the club now by making a bloody difference -Edin out!

    Yes, it was. Right behind the goal.

    Always enjoyed games there. Plenty of good pubs on the way to the ground.
