Im 22 years old. I was a mad city fan up until I was about 15/16 and then, I'm ashamed to say, I just lost interest. I'd never known the glory days like a lot of you guys, all I've ever known is heartbreak, lies, heartbreak, lies, mismanagement, and lies. And a few more lies. More often or not I would've even know who we were playing at the weekend.

Since being relegated to league one though, and this whole scandal with the stadium/Northampton/Not paying rent/Not filing accounts/Judical review/New stadium (take your pick), really made me feel something, and realise how much I love the club.

It absolutely breaks my heart what is going on at the moment, and I know its caused an awful lot of division between fans and petty squabbling over whose fault it is. But, I guess one positive thing to come out of it is that it has reignited my passion for the club, and I've never been more of a fan that I am now - you don't know what you've got til its (nearly) gone!

I lost interest between 92-95 went to the odd game now and again. I wouldn't worry about it.

I went off it a bit during the same period.....too much Terry Butcher and Don Howe for me, although when Quinny was on his scoring run, I soon came back!

Haha appreciate the effort buddy but I was referring to me calling the past "glory days"!
That is very depressing looking at those positions laid out like that though!
