I was born in 1965 in Ashton GMRI hope not. I moved to the Sates 30 years ago to earn a crust and raise my family. Never looked back and accepted that I would have to make the sacrifice of giving up watching my beloved team who I have supported all my life. I would listen to crackly World Service in the hope that there would be a mention of my team. Thank God for the internet and now live games worldwide. My Dad took me when I was two years old to my first game. I was a season ticket holder in the Platt Lane and Kippax, lived in Moss Side, then Cheadle Hulme then San Diego, now Seattle. I always try to attend games when I return and have been fortunate in getting tickets with help from my family and friends. I am up at 3:30am ready to watch the City v West Ham game live as I just can’t sleep through it! So the answer is a big “No”, you don’t have to live in Manchester to be a Blue and in some cases, I would argue that those that live outside of Manchester are actually bigger Blues than some of those who live there. Thanks for posing the question.
been Blue since then and my first game with me Dad and Grandad either 1967 or 68
i got married late at 41 and became a dad at 42 in 2007
If i get my way financially ,I'll be leaving the UK in 7 years if i can retire at 63
and move with my Mrs to Thailand leaving my son who is 13 now and had a season card since he was 4
any fucker in the future when I'm over there ( hopefully ) ask me or question my allegiance or loyalty or why I'm Blue
can kiss my blue arse.
