Very different circumstances of course, and it would have been different if I was missing the odd game here and there while knowing I’d be at the next one, but the rebrand taught me how easily and quickly you can find other things to do if you decide to stop going to games for any reason.
Considering supporting City had been such a huge part of my life for 38 years at that stage, it was quite a surprise.
