Guest Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 12 days until the euphoria of an opening day win or the dissapointment of a damp squib of a start. It's unbelievable how quickly it's rollled around. Feels like only yesterday that I, and many others, were coming to terms with the heartbreak of relegation. I cannae wait now
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 It's unbelievable how quickly it's rollled around. Feels like only yesterday that I, and many others, were coming to terms with the heartbreak of relegation.I cannae wait now I still don't think I'll believe it until I see City in a League One table.
SamL Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 12 days until the euphoria of an opening day win or the dissapointment of a damp squib of a start. We've had too many of those in recent years. I don't think we've actually won our opening game since our promotion season? It'll be a good time to break that curse. I can't fuuuckin' wait.

SamL Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 Tbh honest I think we will win. And well. I hope you're right mate, I really do. It'll be nice to get our season off to a great start, it'll be tough though.
Matt Posted 27 July 2008 Author Posted 27 July 2008 I still don't think I'll believe it until I see City in a League One table. I think if we look at the table after the opening game and we're near bottom/low mid-table due to a loss we'll all feel gutted, disappointed and the thought of League One will depress us. You'll also get the cocks making "Pearson Out" threads or "We're getting relegated again threads". If we look at the table after the opening game and we're near top/high mid-table we'll be happy and not to gutted about the season ahead. You'll also get the cocks automatically promoting us after one game, or getting carried away with one win, e.t.c.

Last season we were in playoff positions after a few games.
SamL Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 Aye. I don't really take notice of the league table after the first few games. Last season we were in playoff positions after a few games. I'm pretty sure we weren't. I remember reading somewhere that we haven't been above 8th place since we were relegated from the Premier League.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 I'm pretty sure we weren't. I remember reading somewhere that we haven't been above 8th place since we were relegated from the Premier League. Near the play-offs then. After the Watford win.
Brainy Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 I'm pretty sure we weren't. I remember reading somewhere that we haven't been above 8th place since we were relegated from the Premier League. :laugh: Correct 9th was the highest for us last season, after Watford?
SamL Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 Near the play-offs then. After the Watford win. We were joint ninth with quite a few other teams, it wasn't anything to shout about really.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 We were joint ninth with about 5 other teams. Still, let us dream for a while. Unfortunately most fans still thought we could make the play-offs when it was blatantly obvious a relegation scrap was on the cards.
MikeyT Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 Still, let us dream for a while. Unfortunately most fans still thought we could make the play-offs when it was blatantly obvious a relegation scrap was on the cards. I believe its known as denial!
SamL Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 Still, let us dream for a while. Unfortunately most fans still thought we could make the play-offs when it was blatantly obvious a relegation scrap was on the cards. Especially after our home game with Coventry. That was supposed to be the turning point in our season, but what a huge disappointment it was after.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 Especially after our home game with Coventry. That was supposed to be the turning point in our season, but what a huge disappointment it was after. Inconsistency killed us last year. Come one, let's focus on this season. Let the good times roll.
Simi Posted 27 July 2008 Posted 27 July 2008 The season doesn't start until I walk through Stockport's turnstile.
Matt Posted 2 August 2008 Author Posted 2 August 2008 It is 6 days, 21 hours, 36 minutes and 55 seconds until Saturday, August 9, 2008 at 3:00:00PM
Matt Posted 4 August 2008 Author Posted 4 August 2008 4 Sleeps till the start of the season! :bounce: :bounce:
Legend_in_blue Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 I'm well up for it. Just bring it on. A win on Saturday. A win in the cup and a repeat win away from home. 3 WINS IN A ROW!!! I can see it now.
