Other Fans City Fans Get On With

Harsh. I know many and they all go or certainly used to. A few look out for Tranmere too.

Very long suffering and a mutual hatred of the dippers.

Every Everton fan I have met in real life and got to know have been perfectly sound. My next door neighbour is a Toffee too. Cuts our bushes occasionally, very pleasant, friendly and even takes the bins out/in for two elderly couples who have mobility issues.

I have come across groups of Everton fans at a number of games down the years who have been vile. As someone else said, they used to be worse. In recent years, they have not been as bad but you can pretty much say that about almost all sets of match going fanbase.

Talking about Tranmere, I texted a Tranmere supporting mate just a few minutes ago. He's SWA or whatever they call themselves :)

Stillitano, the half Italian AC Milan schlong-slurper empresario who is responsible for the International Champions Cup or whatever the fuck it's called over here -- bringing all the European teams over in the summer to the States to play each other. He's an truly unbearable name-dropper but only a twat, not an uber-**** idiot export like Tom "Shut The Fuck Up" Rennie.

Don't worry about it, mate. Enough City haters on your shores; you don't need more to concern yourself with.

That said, as is typical in the US, fans of different clubs get along much better over here -- the voracious capitalists who populate these shores tend to be unified in our minority support for footy (soccer) in general in a sea of handegg, pituitary-gland netball, rounders and ice-farming stick-wielder (AKA the four main sports) fans.

I got a lot of "Congrats, Foggy" from my work compatriots, be they Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool or Spurs fans, yesterday. It helps that they know I've been obsessed with City since Keegan. No one brings up 115; they just respect game, talent and tenacity. In SF, in fact, City and Arsenal fans share the same bar. One of my best mates is a diehard Liverpool guy; a few posters here met him when we came over a few years back and hung out in The Angel and Mary D's.

In fact, I've got a pod of mates -- City, Liverpool, West Ham and Palace fans -- all of us coming over next season for a week-plus of matches, and we'll get to lower league and Scotland (Hearts) if we can in addition to our own clubs.

For me, I love West Ham fans; also have a very soft spot for Norwich after their "We've come for our scarves" and "Shite Man City" chants vs Utd many years back . . .

Your going to get dickheads in an away support of 200,000, 99% of them were sound and after living up there I can say in my experience most are pro City or Chelsea when it comes to English teams. Many Northern Irish Rangers fans seem to have a United love in though

Used to travel up a lot to Ibrox in the 90`s / 00`s but not so often these days . Most of the Rangers lads we knew were all City and came down quite often to Maine Rd and the Etihad . Selkirk had a big city following and we always got a nice welcome at the Rangers supporters club in Langholm on the way back home .

Super White Army. I can walk to Prenton Park but just can’t get in to the football as entertainment.

Friends who support Blackpool think Tranmere are c***s. Merseyside police offer no help or protection their view if your not prepared to fight you shouldn't have come.

Sheffield Wednesday?

Always had a small soft spot for them. Not entirely scientific but think probably because:
1) Was the first shiny/foil badge I got in Panini 85 sticker book
2) I liked their name as a kid
3) I loved Hillsborough as an away day
4) they beat reds in 91 LC final

But as others have said mainly Sunderland cos of 91 (loudest away fans I ever heard at Maine Road) and West Ham (my dad used to bang on that they were classy side in 60s).

I have always been conflicted about Everton fans. Back in the 1960s, when City were relegated I tended to hope that Everton would win as opposed to United, Liverpool, Burnley. Leeds, etc.

Then City drew Everton in the Cup QF in 1966. It was an epic tie, 0-0 at Maine Road, 0-0 at Goodison after extra time and a third match at Molineux with Everton winning 2-0. They were due to play United in the SF.

On the way out we encountered a group of Evertonians. I shouted out 'best of luck in the semi-final' (against United) to them. One turned around and told me to 'piss off'.

Everton did beat United and went on to win the cup against Sheffield Wednesday.
 
Bournemouth Blue said:
As I live in Bournemouth I do have a bit of self-preservation in mind, but their fans are pretty sound in comparison to most. Only a small ground but their vocal support and atmosphere on match days is hard to beat, and they were mostly very respectful when I managed to sneak a hospitality package to watch City earlier in the season.

I've got Bournemouth mates, they're decent fans, probably so friendly as they have no rivals! Since getting in the prem, they have tried to get a rivalry going with Saints....but even while in league 1 & championship, Saints have totally ignored them, they see them as relevant as Carlisle are!! They are like the clingy Billy no mates, that Saintts & Pompey ignore and blank........even though Bournemouth are better.
 
I get along with anybody that isn't a ****. That includes Arse, Spurs, Rags, Dippers, Villa, Everton. Surprisingly though, none of them support Sligo Rovers.
All good lads.

Tranmere are a family club. They wanted nothing to do with Awaydays when it was filmed.

I’m often around when they’re playing and there wasn’t even trouble against Wrexham. Dennis in the pub supports Blackpool and he’s fine with them.
