All those blue Mancs in exile...

I left Manchester (actually Sale) in August 1972 and moved to Frankfurt Germany. I was there until 1980 when I moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee and have been in this area ever since.

With Fox Soccer Channel I actually get to see more games on the telly than by brother-in-law who lives near Newcastle.
 
I first went to Maine Road in 1985 and was a regular, went quite a few away games as well, some of you with very good memories may remember a huge union jack we took to plough lane,Stamford Bridge(when it was a shithole) the baseball ground and one or two other places. I had a season ticket for 5 years at new ground, East stand level 2 used to sit behind badger. Moved to Adelaide last year, first job was installing foxtel, which is brilliant because you can choose to watch every City game home or away. I love Oz, but would love to have been there at last game, just to make up for all the bad times I witnessed, but I made the choice and you cant have the old cake and eat it.
 
First game v Liverpool December 1976 (1-1 )

Last game ever v Arsenal 26 th Sept 2004......
Now living in Wellington New Zealand via India (Silvassa), China (Guangzou) US (Raleigh, North Caroilina, Neptune NJ))
 
Moved to Perth, Western Australia in 1988. Seems a lifetime ago now. Had a couple of years in Melbourne and now back in the West. I get back now and again to watch the lads.
Never lost the faith and for all you lot still in Manchester at these dizzy times of being BLUE...... you lucky Bastards!
 
Moved to Edinburgh in 1996 and then Helsinki in 2010, always kept my season ticket though - actually its a shorter flight now from Finland than the drive from Leith
 
I moved to Rochdale for 2 years when i was 19 but the strange food and language barrier took its toll and i came back, learned my lesson.
 
Went to Uni down here in the 80s. Work kept me down here.

Kids have all grown up with southern accents. All top blues, though.
 
Left at four, grew up in Liverpool but always CTID. Lived all over the country /world since. Now 50 and live in North East. My 50th was at QPR match.
