    2500 games is every game for about 55 years. If you can honestly say you’ve never gone to a game thinking City will lose, you’re lying.

    It might be "ambitious" enough for you @BWWB@BWWB but no, for me that doesn't register on the ambition scale at all. I think you should check the meaning of the word.

    Agree with your analysis. If you went to 50 games a season, then to have seen City play 2,500 you would have had to gone to 50 matches a season for 50 years. I think even the most Ultra hardened City fan would struggle to achieve that level of attendance.
    So if that is not the case, does that reduce the credibility of BWWB’s posts?

    Well apart from your maths being way out, I also would question your ability to be optimistic for every single match. The reasoning you put forward is flawed. When R&R arrived there was nothing to turn around we were on the up, therefore they needed to invest in the first team first and foremost in order to gain promotion and build from there. They have not invested and we are all paying the price. We have only been in the Championship once, when we were dropping down the leagues. It took them a long time to pull this club around and we did end up in league 2. If City fans were given the scenario that R&R would make some very poor decisions and we would end up in league 2, then I think the protests would have extremely loud.

    They have got to get in the team and perform, as yet we have not seen that.

    I will tell you why it’s relevant. Because it highlights some of the over the top and at times demented criticism of the present owners

    My decision was made because a former player from McCalls first stint in charge. Told me honestly that Rahic
    treated Mccall horrendously.


    I think its great A) a young team B) i understand it will take time C) They apologised last year, first it was rupp who apologised.

    Don't think he's willing to accept it as nobody would but is highlighting the facts that this is what has historically happened despite who the chairmen is.

    I'm not naive.

    I was merely asking to see who's been the chairman since you've been a city fan that's all.

    Even Bournemouth had to take a 25 point penalty in L2 only just surviving a drop into the conference whilst a Russian billionaire got his act together

    My earlier posts were all about saying that in our position, there was no need to go backwards.
