Seems like most of my life! But really, I started keeping season-by-season records around the time of McFarland. It was a godsend when Terry Frost's Complete Record book came out, as that took care of most everything I wanted to know from our foundation through the 1987/8 season. Since then I've been trying to do as he did in the book, with a few additions of my own, and compile a "complete record" for each season, as well as keep my master files of players, managers, and season stats up to date.

A few more files to update, and I can throw this season into the dustbin of history. I've rarely, if ever, found it so easy to dismiss one season and look forward to the next, as this time around.

I began a scrap book in Summer 1967. I then transferred all info and all there after into an A4 'hard back' book. Moving to Germany in late '76 made it hard to keep up, and I missed so many valuable issues out. I started again post 1980, but again, constant moving hindered that.
On my fiftieth birthday, my wife bought me a wonderful gift ....... A Daily / Sunday Mirror Leather covered hard back chronicling City's progress 'in the news'. This featured genuine news copies of all reported games (including Cup matches) which had appeared in the Mirror.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand...

1. Not enough points
2. Not enough goals scored.
3.Too many goals conceded.
4. Not enough gumption from the players.
5. Too much money wasted on deadwood.
I'm sure there's more statistics to follow.BradfordBanter likes this. -

I might even have most of my files mostly in order by our championship celebrations... I've reached 96/7 now, on my way back to 88/9 in the season-by-season ones, but there's the master lists too that still need tweaking. Any formal updating and re-publishing of Frost's book would in the first instance be his prerogative, as the original author. I suppose though that a purely statistical supplement covering the years since could find a home online, if not in print, and not step on any toes.

It has to be the only memorable highlight (if indeed it can be called that!) of our 2018/19 season. -

I've so far only compiled the stats back to the 1997/8 season, but generally we have at least picked up 1 or 2 wins, and a few draws, when trailing at the half, and have been better when trailing at any point -- much more time to recover from an early goal against. But the only other time we didn't pick up at least 1 win from a trailing at any point position was back in 1999/00. In contrast, in that 2016/7 season, we went 5-10-7 when trailing at any point -- that team had the right make-up.
