Footy mad great grandad who died with his kids in the '41 Blitz. Other great grandad who followed City all his life and got to see the cup win on TV in 87, year before he went. My grandad who was there in 67 & 87, and got to see me and my late uncle follow in his footsteps for the checkatrade the year before he passed.

Yes absolutely. To all those no longer with us who gave us the love of football and most especially the love of CCFC a great big ‘Thank You’. Dad you carried my stool up to highfield road before I could see over the wall in the Spion Kop. We sat together for years through all the highs and lows (fa cup glory, last day survivals, relegation, and even would we survive as a club) with you taking me up and in your later years me taking you and your grandson. My son and I have raised a glass to you tonight. You made us Sky Blue.
My dad passed a couple of weeks ago and was instrumental to me being city. He was there in 67 and we watched us win in 87. Miss you loads dad xthat’s for you dad , thanks for making me a city fan

I'm lucky that my own family that I first attended with are all still with us. However we don't all go together now. Makes me think I should get us all together for a hospitality game next season whilst everyone is still here

My Mum and Dad who used to go in the 1930's, and my brother who took me as a 4/5 yr old kid (he had some patience) all of them were instrumental in my rite of passage into a Sky Blue!! My Mum died 9 yrs ago this July aged 100 and she still asked how're the City doing. God bless them xxxxx

My dad who loved the City of a Saturday afternoon and the Speedway at night. He saw the glory years and was crest fallen watching our demise. His last words about the City to me just a few years back when we were in League 2 were, "do you ever think they'll get back?"
Yes dad, they will and and I hope somehow you saw it from up there.

Dad, now in Sky Blue Heaven, took me as a 5 year old nipper to my first game. Had spent his courting days with Mum at highfield road in the late fifties (he knew how to show a girl a good time)…
25 years was a huge stretch and about 1/3 or more of most peoples expected longevity. We must have lost thousands of City fans in that period. Those halftime memorial boards are hard to watch on remembrance occasions. My Grandparents were all instrumental in my following the City and I lost them early on in that period. At least they never had to experience SISU.
My mum and dad were city supporters since the early 60's, they both passed away 5 years ago. They took me to my first city game in 1983,I was 10 years old and i have been hooked ever since. I love our football club. They would have been so proud right now and I am sure they are looking down with massive smiles.
