Are we getting more popular at home?

Im 15 and I have not found another blue in a school of 1200. Some of the year 7/8's might be but non in year 9 10 11. And I live 45 mins from manchester

Whereabouts do you live?

Somewhere fucking boring by the sounds of it, seeing as theyve had the time to ask all 1200 pupils who they support!

I only ask as he could be in another team’s catchment area like Leeds or the Merseyside clubs, being that far away. Most blues raised their kids as blues. Yes, we may have missed out on a generation of casual football fans who didn't come from strong football supporting families but all the blues I know have their kids supporting City.
The only reason the ground is full of older males is that of cost. It’s the same all over premiership grounds too. Young lads can't afford to go and fork out for season tickets with their mates for the most part.

Girlfriend lives in Warwick and next door neighbours are Ethiopian. Father supports united, naturally, but his 9 year old son "supports" City. Next season I shall make it my business to get him to a game.

I travel to Bexhill quite often and have seen plenty of City shirts being worn by young lads playing football in the park there by the seafront.
Was driving through Piccadilly in London last week and saw 2 Arabian looking guys getting into a Ferrari GTO near Harrods, they both had the black City away top on.
