Blues in Failsworth

Born in Newton Heath but brought up in Failsworth, went to Paddock Lane Primary and then Partington St / Brierley Ave School, Left school in 85 but even then they a good split of Blues and Reds probably about 50/50. Would imagine now it is more blue than Red.

Same here but left for Canada when I was about to enter the 5th year in 1978. Lived on Sommerset rd and Lord lane.

You followed in my footsteps four years behind me.

There’s two supporters clubs in Failsworth. It’s a proper blue area and there were only around three United fans in my class at school.
 
Ogden Road, thats where I live. Short stroll to the Millgate, nice in summer in the beer garden.
As for City and utd fans, as I have said before its pretty much 50/50 however a lot of reds from moston come into Failsworth to watch the raggies in the pubs on Oldham Road.
Too true. Loads infect the Mowbray Arms. Watched many a Cup Final in there, so funny giving it to them when we win.....

Exactly the same here but one year behind you, lived on Parkside Ave, off Newton Rd, went to Paddock Lane then upper & lower school with the prefab and the rosler block. Left in '86. Mum and sis still in Failsworth but I moved in '01. Still a season ticket holder though and brainwashed the boy.
