City football shirts everywhere

Bournemouth Blue said:
I have sadly had some flak from fellow fans who assume I am a plastic fan, just because I live on the south coast. “Get a life” I say. i was indeed born in the south but my Mum and grandparents were born and bred in Saddleworth, and my grandad converted me to a City fan before I could spell. So I have seen City through the glory years with the Holy Trinity, and when I lived in Yorkshire I travelled hundreds of miles during the Swailes and Lee eras, I protested outside shouting “Swailes Out” and then had a long journey back to East Yorkshire many times. So I think I deserve a bit of slack. All I can say is I moved to Bournemouth for love and work in 2002, I think I saw four or five City shirts until around the Mancini era, and now they are everywhere, in fact they are more evident than the red tops.

Once a fan of any club very few change their colours. It doesn’t matter where people are from as long as they enjoy supporting their team.

We most certainly have come a long way and beyond the wildest dreams of many of us Blues.
I often wonder how many of our younger supporters really appreciate this. From also-rans a mere 15 years ago to consistently the best team in England. Now finally and officially the best team in Europe, and almost certainly the World. Long may it continue.
 
Was in London on Thursday and there were kids in City shirts everywhere.
Also saw a white van man with a metal City shirt decoration on the front grill of his van driving up Gower Street towards Euston Road.
 
When I was in Alcudia in Mallorca, loads of the locals were wearing city shirts, in all the little daft beach shops they were selling fake city shirts, city beach towel, portraits of Haaland.

The amount of United stuff in comparison was so little.

When I was in Italy a couple months ago, in a small town in the south where my girlfriend is from, I even saw a couple locals in city shirts there.

We’re massive.
 
The taxi driver who picked up my family to fly back from Croatia asked where I was from. When I said Manchester he asked if I was a City fan. He was only flying in to Manchester next week to watch the Fulham match and hopefully see his favourite Croatian players.
 
Had a few days in North Wales usually Dipper heaven for footy shirts but there were more of our shirts on younger children the only Dipper shirts were on sad 40 year olds with beer guts , the "Candy" sponsored shirt from the 90's was prevalent and probably the last time any of them went to a game.
Its good that youngsters are latching on to our success and they will never go through the hardship us"leagacy" supporters went through ,i have no doubt when Pep leaves and there is a possible drop in standards some of the our lightweight fans will choose another footy shirt , but hey ho thats the modern game , razzamatazz and superstars , we cant do anything about it , our owners have chosen the direction of the club and we have to go with the flow , its brilliant watching the trophies pile up but a lot of us will never forget where we came from.

Yeah I can confirm that, just in Lido Beach caravan park at Prestatyn and its full of dippers, but no red shirts anywhere, all the kids are in either home or away City kits..very strange hearing scouse accents but wearing a City top.

There may have been a Victims Charter UK conference near by.

I was in Sports Direct in Plymouth today. Only a couple of City shirts for sale whilst being swamped out with the 3 redtops, Spurs, Chelsea and WHU.

Obviously most of the City shirts had been snapped up and they were trying to shift the others.
