With Pep Guardiola’s side closing on a treble, Guardian readers offer praise for, and concerns about, City’s current dominance
“I became a Man City fan because my husband was a season ticket holder when we met in 1995. We have three sons and once the boys were old enough we began to go when we could. We all became season ticket holders 12 years ago. The core fans of City have always been there and supported their team through thick and thin. Most fans can’t believe the last 10 years and the quality of football that we are now watching week on week.
“It’s been a rollercoaster as a fan but we’re riding high at the moment. The dips will inevitably come, but right now I’m living for the day. We have to move with the times and clearly there is money to be made from success, but [the club] do need to remember to keep one foot firmly on the ground with their loyal fanbase who used to follow them when they were in Division 2.”Joanna Sargent and her family at a match.“I’m a lifelong supporter of Man City and have had a season ticket since 2011.
“I think there is some moral onus on us as fans, but just as easily, it’s not like we can just click our fingers and remove our feelings we have for the club. In an ideal world, maybe I’d turn my back on the club and stop going to games, but it’s not as easy as that. I go to matches with my mum. We’ve had so many special memories together.
