My son was 12 when we moved abroad .. so had quite a few years of watching city live, before any of our promotions. Luckily he's stuck with us and he's, at 23, just come back to start a job with the BBC and will be a regular again at city.

My daughter is 14 and wasn't even two when we left the country and is a massive city fan. My other daughter, 18, couldn't care less about supporting football.. although she is an excellent player.

Although I am worried both are gonna go off watching city with so many competing and compelling other activities available... Made more interesting by city being completely dogshite.
