MANCHESTER WEEK END

Went to Manchester last weekend for a dinner on Friday night to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Manchester Citys official supporters club,where the guest of honour was UWE ROSLER,Uwe was inducted into the hall of fame the next day and was given a fantastic reception by the City fans.The next day went to watch Man City play Hull in what was a very disappointing game but i still enjoyed it.Had a lovely Chinese meal in the evening in Chinatown.I have to mention here the amazing faith that Man City fans have shown for years and years.There was 46,000 of them there on Saturday but you have to bear in mind they have won nothing for 30 years,unbelievable faith.I stood outside the ground on Saturday and watched the crowd go in,you have never seen a more diverse group of people.There was a Chinese woman with her son,youngsters in groups,boys with girls,men with women and children,old men,old women,men dressed in football strips that really should not do that,there were Swedes,Danes,Irish and people from all over Great Britain there,a real well of humanity.The Mid Sussex branch were very disappointed but i can assure them that happens and you never know when it will happen that is the beauty of the game.
