That was my favourite ever day supporting City. For my own reasons it topped even Wembley 2008. Still get a lump in my throat watching that video now.
Wolves will be the media darlings for a few weeks, not unlike ourselves in 2008 and the likes of Hudders and Brighton this season, then they'll go off the radar when they start to get a few tonkings and the Portuguese boys lose their fresh tans.

Teams going up to the PL and spending loads almost always goes wrong.
08/09, City and Stoke were definitely going down but big-spending WBA were going to stay up.
13/14, City and Palace were definitely going down but big-spending Cariff were going to stay up.
16/17, City and Burnley were definitely going down (OK one of us did) but big-spending Boro were going to stay up.

Wolves captain Conor Coady says the Premier League-bound side are an example of how any club should be run.
ARF!

I don't have the figures, I just remember that having won the Championship and signed some apparently good players they were favourites to stay up, while City and Stoke were given no chance. They signed loads of sexy foreign players while City and Stoke got journeymen who knew the league.
The roller coaster of emotions that day was ridiculous. Felt physically sick after we missed a penalty and they got one and scored it
but then after we got confirmation we were going up... brilliant day 
I wouldn't mind City being run the way the are. Full ground, no shortening of the name despite it being thr longest in the Football League. And, as I said when we played Leeds, it would have cost me as an OAP with 2 grandkids £72 at City but £25 at Wolves. I wonder which is being better run ascregarding building up a future fanbase?
Anybody can get promoted getting decent players in tho , it's more fun doing it the hard way , selling your best players for peanuts and replacing them with nobodies , imagine their faces when that happens .
Or you could do it the other way, get promoted with a group of players worth 2 or 3 million each and then trade them in for a load of "big names" at 10 million each. Then you find they don't have the necessary fight, bottle or character for a relegation battle which you subsequently lose, leaving you back in the Championship.
