And if you’re from Bamber Bridge you should be supporting Preston North End ;-)
I know what you mean about Maine Road. I hope you find your experience at The Etihad different.
On your final point I have to disagree with you. There are foreign fans and there are foreign fans. Your average foreign fan who buys a shirt to wear whilst watching it on satellite tv and trolling on social media platforms, I have no time for. There are plenty of blues who moved abroad and still follow from afar.
There is another section of supporters who get marginalised. Guys in there seventies who have gone to City their whole lives who don’t go on the internet as they are scared of computer viruses and get their online transactions hacked. I sort out their season ticket renewals for a couple of them. I have participated in club surveys that want to know which social media platforms you are active on, the inference being you be a good blue soldier online.
Do I hold their opinions in more regard to the monosyllabic YouTube comments on the official club channel posting stuff such as “How many likes I get is how many goals City will win by” nonsense?
Short answer is yes. Hop over to the transfer forum and see the posts from FCBarca who writes dewy eyed about Catalonia when he’s from Switzerland. There’s something mentally wrong with these people. If I’d have brought up in Ireland I’d be supporting a Gaelic football team, if I’d been brought up in the States it would be my local American football or basketball team. I can’t understand latching on to stuff that sometimes is on a different continent.
Sorry if that opinion offends.

I found much of your post reasonable until the offensive and confused phrases I quote. Perhaps you should have put a greater thinking hat on. I was born in Ireland interested in playing an participating in Gaelic Games, local soccer, Rugby Union, Tennis, Cricket, badminton some local, some, quite distance. I was a fan of Henry Cooper, Lester Piggot, England '66 "latching on to stuff that sometimes is on a different continent". do you struggle with imported food,, latch on to Indian & Chinese food, Irish Stew, Haggis, tea, coffee, loo rolls,,Yorkshire pies, diesel, heating oil, petrol, motorvehicles, foreign made clothes Seems there's something insular troubling and sad about people who cannot look outside their own little bubble. No appreciation of Cruyff, Pele, Maradona, total football Ajax, Usain Bolt, Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali. You really miss so much by not lookink outside your little box.
