Here is some cost of living information from 1978 as City last defeated Ipswich at Portman Road on September 23rd that year: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/politics/1978vs2008_20080425.shtml
Additionally, a pint of beer cost 40p, that week's number 1 single was Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc, Boney M topped the album charts with Night Flight to Venus, The Who drummer, Keith Moon passed away two weeks earlier and Grease had been showing in UK cinemas for seven days.
All this my Dad's bigger than your Dad stuff is getting quite tiresome.
And for the record, my Dad is much slimmer than me and takes every opportunity to remind me.
Back to the case in point, Lee has been backed by Steve Lansdown with a 1 year contract extension and is unlikely to be sacked anyday soon.
With that in mind we'll just have to don the tin hats, get those worry beads and prayer mats out and damn well hope our majority owner backs some decent signings in January.
Here's to a better 2017.
And a Merry Christmas to all you fantastic City fans wherever you may be.
Yours
Mark Tovey
