My dad took me to my first City match. I stood on the wall at the back of the Bob Bank, Grange end.
And so the love affair began. A roller coaster 59 years with more downs than ups and here we are again.

My sons became City fans and then this season my two grandsons, 11 & 8, who wear their blue shirts with pride at every opportunity in an area where the blue is Chelsea, got their season tickets.

Tomorrow they will be among our Mascots.
