Lack of Action Man Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 This season marks the 11th anniversary of my having season tickets at fortress Ashton, which had me thinking about how much the world has changed in that space of time. For example, the concept of a touch screen phone would've been laughed at in 03/04 but is now common place. Off the top of my head the following has taken place since my first game: 1) England win the rugby world cup 2) The beginning and end of the Iraq war 3) Obama wins 2 consecutive terms of office 4) The UK suffers it's worst recession since the early 90s from 2008-2011 5) Them Royal folks got married So, over to you guys and girls. The more obscure the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Since I attended my first City game, Michael Owen has been born, developed into a teenage prodigy at Liverpool, alienating Everton and Manchester United fans in the process, played for England, failed to break the all time scoring record, twanged his hamstrings many times, left for Real Madrid, alienating Liverpool fans in the process, [allegedly] blew a fortune on the horses, transferred to Newcastle United and then Manchester United, alienating Man City fans in the process with an injury time winner the derby, retired from the game and is now as dull a pundit as you can imagine, alienating most fans of other clubs.
