Inspired by the under-whelming words of past manager and club carpenter/joiner Colin Appleton, On Cloud Seven was a Tigers fanzine in the late 80s and early 90s that earned a reputation for occasional excellence and regular constructive criticism of City regimes past and present. Now reborn on this website, we combine high quality match reports and the occasional fanzine piece with a statistics resource that will keep you up to date on all things tigerish down at the Circle. |
