I like the rose and consider myself Lancastrian and Mancunian, but to be accurate we were part of the hundred of salford an independent county within Lancashire and no directly part of Lancashire administratively I would prefer the red rose or the bee instead of the crosses personally
Rammyblues said:Manchester is independent but it's wealth was made on the back of the cotton industry from the whole of Lancashire, not doubting you want the crest to be purely Manchester and I appreciate that but for some old fashioned buggers like myself I just like the red rose. :-)
Very true Rammy, and on the City badge and the Manchester coat of arms is a classic sailing ship transporting cotton to the rest of the world.
Anyway back to the thread, if you get a chance Gav I would still like to see 2 small Lancashire roses where the 2 crosses are the moment.
My vote would also be either 2 or 5, and maybe the coat of arms for any finals.

Looking at the old maps so was Rammy (well Holcombe really, that was the bit in the Doomsday book). On a less serious note on many away days why then did city fans always sing Lanky Lanky at some stage during games outside the county? :-)

I'm in my early 30's and the rose means nothing to me but I know what it represents.
Teenagers today probably have no idea at all and as time goes on the rose will become less and less relevant to the area.
I suspect those craving the rose are the 50 and over crowd harking back to a time gone by.

Exactly you youngsters have got no istory. :-)
I'm under 50 actually, and most club badges, and City coats of arms use historical references, what's wrong with that?
I have no doubt when City were formed in 1880 the founders would of classed themeslves as proud Lancastrians. It is also worth pointing out that we have a growing fan base these days, and Lancashire is the most obvious place outside of Manchester or Greater Manchester to attract new supporters.
