City football shirts everywhere

[Georgian Maestro]

I've just returned from a holiday in Yorkshire and there were just as many kids wearing City shirts as united and liverpool which surprised me.

Plenty of City shirts where I’m from - Stockport

City shirts aplenty in Fleetwood, smattering of dips & rag ones too but definitely more blue.

Got told off by Mrs Moon for laughing & talking too loud when seeing a raggy second strip shirt with ronaldo on the back. Wonder if PR37 will ever actually be on the pitch in it?

Surprised you saw many City tops in Fleetwood, older generation more rag, younger ones more dipper but all also Fleetwood town fans. Cleveleys just down the coast is Manchester on sea loads of blues and rags.

The thing that always gets me if I see City shirts outside of Manchester is that I assume there's a connection so lead with "where abouts in Manchester are you from"? Still can't fathom people supporting us just because we're decent. Glory hunting bastards.

To be fair mate, I'm not from Manchester, i am a ST holder, I grew up in Shropshire, but my dads from heaton moor. He took me to games and got me into city. I dont have a manc accent so have been questioned about the subject alot since we got bought in 2008, no one cared before then who I supported. So where does this leave me? Should i of stopped supporting city in 2008? You tell me.

Up in Rossendale, three little kids couldn’t have been more than 7 or 8 crossing the road, two in the home shirt one in the away.

The future’s ours :-)

Won't be ours if the gatekeeping carries on mate. Just wish folks would start enjoying the dominance off the pitch as well as on it.

Hopefully the vast majority of blues welcome newcomers. Whether you’ve been to a thousand games or just one doesn’t matter a bit - as long as you get that adrenaline rush when we score or win then you’re a blue and you always will be

I bumped into a fellow Blue wearing the '99 away strip from Wembley in a village here in the North East yesterday. Turns out he'd been a neutral but went on a few jobs in Manchester and got sucked in that way. So I suppose an organic thing. I myself was born in Manchester but have spent most of my life in the North East. My accent is a confusing generic northern.

Anyway, round here the balance is definitely changing but if I was the type to keep a score chart I reckon the Dippers would be out in front, Rags second and us third. Which is sad in a way because Boro, Sunderland and Newcastle are all much closer.

At the end of the day, shirt sales = money = investment in the club, so I don't see any reason to complain. It's just annoying now that people assume you're a glory hunter, especially if you don't sound like Liam Gallacher.

Lots more blues than reds in Clevelys area

Definitely NOT in Somerset. Still Rags and Dippers to the fore. In my years teaching down here from 2007 I came across 2 Manchester City pencil cases.
