I get this. Let me be even clearer, I know by sight almost everyone of my generation who supported City at our lowest points in the early 80's and mid 90's. Its not that difficult as we were down to 3K at BP and just 2 coaches going away. I put these loyals at the top of my personal hierarchy regardless of whether they still go home & away, support less than they used to or still boycott home games, my respect for all of them remains of the utmost regard. I know Karl Berg, would I know you Sir Ben? Obviously new younger supporters should also be respected and encouraged, I just don't recognise all of them.
Maybe. I would recognise a handful from that time. (Early 80s). Away was either SG or DI coaches or cars, minibuses & vans
