City is now a big game for every club. That's a factor.
Another factor is very low policing. Authorities are skint. Last week I came out onto Ashton New Rd the same time as a group of young Burnley fans came out and were baiting blues about Mendy a sex offender. That group got beaten up. No Police at all.
I grew up really hating Man Utd but away from the football ground, you'd have to be a pyscho to have a go. But there are always pyschos. See the numbers who bottled City's team bus at Anfield and the problems City fans have there. Their fans hate us and it's fuelled by the media. I don't like their fans because they buy into it. Soft in the head.
