City football shirts everywhere

I listened to the match at the weekend at a chum's old gits motorcycle racing event at the Anglesey Trac outside Rhosneigr.
Crackly wireless, a couple of kids in barca shirts, but lots of Norton, Triumph and metal t shirts.
One old boy was wearing a union flag suit and a top hat with badges, feathers and the like.
No city there but a couple over the other side on Lligwy beach.

For the upcoming Derby in September, a quandary looms.
I’m in Abersoch for the week on a family holiday. I know, shite planning!
Now, The Veynol pub is 50m from the house we’re staying in and, I’m undecided whether to drive back home for the match or watch it in the pub, of course, with my City top on and Guinness in hand.
My season ticket seat is going to somebody I know if I don’t go.
But, I always see plenty of City fans in Abersoch and, have watched City games there plenty of time without myther, but it’s The Rags this time, misses expects Ill go to the game, keep her sweet, yes or no?!

Drive to the Etihad, it's half a day.
Done it a couple of times myself for home games whilst away.

Peps first game v Sunderland. We were in Blackpool and I caught the Fylde Coast supporters coach from Fleetwood. Pretty enjoyable day out.

The other time I drove from Llandudno and back for a match.

I ordered a couple of shirts on the 11th of August for myself and the missus, £11.40 each for the new black one with the chrome-ish badge.

Still waiting for the things to arrive, might get them for the start of next season :)

All depends on the individual supplier. Ordered all 3 (included the white with stripe) in early june and had them in 10 days.
 
Walking down the street in front of Independence hall in Philly today on my way home from chemotherapy. Saw a whole family husband, wife and three kids wearing the prior 5 years kits while in the Liberty Bell pavilion, figured they were Mancs and thought that I would chat them up when they came out on the street. Sat down and waited (needed the rest) when they came out the wife noticed my City baseball cap and said ,while pointing at her head, c'mon City. Turned out they were from Ohio and were wearing the shirts in case they got separated in the crowd so they could find each other. Brilliant idea!!!

Good luck with your chemotherapy fella !
 
City colours have become ubiquitous since our success. I don't take much notice nowadays wherever I see blues.

Back in the day (when we had no glory hunters) if I met a blue outside of Greater Manchester I'd say hello or "up the blues" and usually make conversation. I don't much bother nowadays. More blues and other fans often say something when they spot my old City badge tatt on my calf.

That tatt saved me from getting a speeding fine in Morocco in 2019 when a copper pulled me up saying I was over the limit. I said I didn't realise speed limit had changed as last sign I saw was 80kph, he said 60(was a scam) so I argued there was no 60 kph sign. He spotted my tattoo and in broken English said "Riyadh Mahrez, I like". I smiled and he said "OK, go now". That tatt more than paid for itself: )

In Florida doing the parks at the moment and loads of City shirts. More than any other club I’d say but that could just be me looking out for fellow blues.
A few rags and dippers and the odd arse nul kit..
It’s not just fellow English, Americans and quite a few Spanish

This must be ten years ago now. I was there with my family. I went into the shop that sells football shirts. There were three drunk American males in their twenties looking and trying to decide what to purchase.

One was adamant they needed to get the new rag tops. I interceded and convinced them that City was the way to go. Somehow, it worked. :)

Last time I was.at Disney, February before last, it must have been a big holiday time for Brazil. Literally, thousands of people in all manner of Brazilian league shirts. Men, women, children, they all had them on that day. I also decided when my wife divorces me, I may be moving to Brazil.

lol.. I know what you mean, some of the South American women are stunning. Plenty of beautiful women in general here to be honest.
Not that any would be interested in me unless they were working behind the bar in hooters and I needed some chicken wings and a cold beer.
Been I few scum shirts today after their , we played great but got beat last week celebrations.
Saw a few coming out of millers ale house on international drive looking very dispondent today.
Weirdly enough not as many city shirts this week and a few more Leeds and Newcastle..
 
I'm on holiday in lanzarote and was walking down the street this morning wearing a city shirt and a taxi driver opened his window, leaned out and shouted come on city at me.

Was speaking to a guy the other night from Middlesbrough who supports them.
He told me his son is a city fan (because of grealish) and the next night the kid was out with his city shirt on.
