Lambo"9320"...are Aguero, Balloteli, Dzeko, Zabaletta, David Silva & Yaya to be considered as blues? Because all of them contributed to that moment directly or leading up to it? Is Mancini a blue? What about Sorriano? Khaldoon? Sheikh Mansour?

I don't mean to be confrontational but I don't think you guys understand how that hits someone and how that comes across.

I was born in sight of the Maine Road floodlights and have been going since 1961..first season ticket in 1974 and had one ever since.. Does that make me more of a blue than somebody who wasn't born then.. No way.. I don't care where anybody who supports City comes from or the reason why they follow our fantastic team.. At the end of the day we are all blues and should be welcomed into the City family.
I have chatted to many City fans whilst on holiday abroad and I was happy to listen to the fans from abroad telling me why they chose City and how glad they are blues.
We should be happy that our global following is expanding and welcome them...
 
I've read this thread with interest as being a City fan from Kent and attending many home and away games over the years I've always felt nothing but friendly people and have always been made to feel welcome by other city fans. I've made friends from getting the train to and from games and have had some amazing times following City around the country.

As I used to go alone most of the time to games I would get chatting to fellow blues and they have welcomed me in to their groups and later on sorted me tickets for games I couldn't get tickets for. I'm proud to be a City fan and to be honest I love being a city fan.

I've never experienced any issues being a non manc and it has never been mentioned. I've been in pubs on my own before games and got chatting to blues and never has where I'm from been raised or questioned. I've always felt safe and welcome at games and beforehand.

Anyway a long old post for my first go sorry if it's a tad long winded.

After a while you just get used to it! Midweek evening games are always killers for me. So Champions League heartbreak is always the worst for me. Can you imagine me steaming after that Spurs lost and trying to sleep at 6am with a hot head and then wake up in less than 3 hours haha ffs.

Takes me about 2 hours to relax after a game!

I could never do what you do.

Thanks for contributing to the discussion. I’m sure you’ve got more tales to share, so keep them coming.

Put simply if we weren’t winning titles every season these ‘so called’ fans claiming to support us would’ve never considered us. End of.

Real mancs are blues, real blues are mancs

I live in the North West of England, Carlisle to be exact and have supported City since I was 4yo, I went down to the local park and it was a wall of red shirts 90% rags, I choose City that day and have been a City fan ever since I am 48yo.

Who the fuck are you to tell anybody who is a real blue or not, all you have done is made yourself look like an I'm a bigger blue than you wanker.
 
Maybe it's because I live in the south but I feel that some people (not city fans) forget that City were a successful club and attractive club to watch/follow/support in the 60s and 70s. Over the years I have met and got chatting to quite a few city fans who have no connection to Manchester but grew up supporting City from that era.

I've been stopped on the street on numerous occasions by a fellow blue who has seen me wearing a shirt or waiting by my car as they have seen the badge in the window and just wanted to chat about City. I think it's great and I know I'm probably generalising but I just don't think that happens with fans of other clubs.

I know we get a lot of stick from other canvases these days but I honestly still think we are the best and wouldn't swap ours with anyone's out there.
