    There’s no doubt about it, dark clouds hover ominously over the Tiger Nation at present – what with relegation, Marco Silva preparing to depart and the bloody Allam family conspicuously not departing while scrapping discounts for kids and pensioners.

    But amid the gloom, one thing will always cheer us up, and that’s remembering our finest day in the sun, nine years ago today.

    Happy Wembley (Debut) Day, City fans.

    Yes. Tickets sold out in 2 days, extra ones snapped up. Record crowd for a play off, including one involving the massive superclub Leeds, until overtaken by one when they started making more tickets from corporate areas available.
    Fast forward to last year to see the progress made by our owners for the amount of people going to Wembley, going to matches or buying season passes.

    Corporate areas haven't changed, corporate passes never applied in play-off games and the tickets were always available to the clubs.

    Stirs up a mix of emotions. How bloody brilliant was that period, and how desperately ****ing sad is it that we've got to where we are now?

    An unforgetable day.

    That'll make Fraizer Campbell almost 30, he hasn't really done much since has he?

    Yeah. Weird to think he's that old. Been warming benches professionally since then. He seems to have put the serious injuries behind him but still hasn't played regularly anywhere. When he was with us he was the next big thing.

    Jelavic and Long is the nearest thing, but since that was only for 6 months it can't really count for much.

    Amazing how many memories we have from the last 9 years. And equally, how little progress the club has made since then (unless you count tens of millions of debt as progress).

    The past ten years should of seen us double our fanbase, get a number of new younger supporters in, build a legacy of our Premier League years and had many happy memories.

    Yet since that day it has gone downhill, we see the years of Premier League money wasted and gone out of the club without a penny to show for it.

    18 years since I took my season ticket out, I have loved nearly every minute of it, but I have cancelled it that shows how far things have come.

    Eight months.

    Though Long and Jelavic was only really four months.

    True, and we forget that for a fasir while of that spell we were either playing cup games in which they were both ineligible, or safe in the PL and trying out combinations of Fryatt, Sagbo and friends to figure out who should play in the cup final and semi.

    Not to mention, building first class training facilities that they own and establishing a good academy like some other clubs have done.
