"All City fans are from Stockport"

[der bomber28]

Growing up in Wythenshawe, Maine Road was only a bus ride away and so anyone who was a City fan normally went, while the rags tended not to (quelle surprise). The Swamp was two buses away or a bus and a train ride away. Oddly enough - or maybe because of Princess Road depot? - there was always the legend - a 101 match bus - there and back to Maine Road. Never once saw one going to The Swamp, but there was always one back home on Derby day

I'm from Wythenshawe and used to always get the 101, used to just sneak on in the rush. I honestly don't think I ever paid on a bus home from the match lol great days. :0)

That's absolute bollocks, mate. Wythenshawe has always had a massive Rag contingent that go to the match. Eversince they knocked down all the council houses in Salford and shipped them out there. The swamp was only a few miles down from Maine road. The 53 bus used to go right through moss side and stop at the house of fires on chester road. There were also buses to maine road and old trafford from Didsbury and Northenden. Most people got the bus into town and the train from oxford road. Wythenshawe was crawling with the f**kers.

"All City fans are from Stockport"

Well I grew up in Yeovil so were not all from Stockport..... Now Yeovil really is full of rags (surprise surprise). I revelled in being the only city fan at school and the only person who actually went to watch my team play. I remember going to a few derbies and politely informing the rag fans that even I, a blue, had seen their team live more times than they had. Used to really wind em up.

stockport is manchester ....

stockport town centre is 3.5 miles away from our old home of maine road...its about 5 mile from eastlands....pretty local to me..

Stockport is in Cheshire, it's not Manchester. Ask someone from Stockport if they are Mancunian, and they will say no.

Irlam is pretty close to the swamp? How did you end up in bandit country.

stockport is in greater manchester... unlike plymouth,bristol or peterborough

yeah.. irlam is red country...but none of em go...there a right good set of blues here though.
my dad took me took maine road cos he said that when he went to old trafford the fans were less intelligent,and could only see one side.. he went to city as he said the crowd were more fair to the opposition and had a little bit more class about them.............he had no reason to lie.

I'm from Stockport, and have supported City since 1956 so what??
A lot of United fans come from Salford, that's their area, they should be called Salford United...
At the last count 10,000 season ticket holders at City live in Stockport. What's the problem with that?
We love you City! and we live in Stockport.
