Did you know Margaret Wood from the Pack Horse mate?

Name rings a bell, but I can't place her?

I don’t know Stockport very well.

And the biggest blue area, per head of population, of Tameside based on the clubs data. (Denton, Hyde, Stalybridge etc).

I'd be surprised if there were more blues in any other town or suburb in Manchester. MCFC RULE OK

New Moston!

As someone who now lives in Stockport I have to say, there’s definitely a grain of truth to the stereotype! Can’t move for blues round here.

Though historically Stockport was part of Cheshire, something many Stopfordians still cling on to ;)

The club has had its roots in Hyde so the over spill from that is that the likes of Denton, Hyde, Bradbury and Stockport will always be Blue areas. Suppose like them lot have Stretford and into Urmston.

Growing up in Failsworth in the 80s and 90s it felt like we were in the minority. Understandable when they were winning everything they all came out of the woodwork. Don’t live there now but good to hear we rule M35 in support. It’s gonna grow elsewhere, why would anyone want to be associated with that god awful club?

I lived in Failsworth for 40 years and it always had a big blue support , Dutch Birds was a United pub and I’ve seen it kick off round there a few times , Streetbridge was my watering hole and plenty of blues in there.

You are miles off with Stretford and Urmston mate. There are loads of match going Blues.

I popped in The Bricklayers recently and it was still great.

The Roxy was still standing after the M60 junction was built. The owner retired and the building was sold on.

It’s tragic that a grand old piece of local heritage like that was knocked down to be replaced by a petrol station and a Gregg’s.

All that reminds is a small bit of fencing around the back.

I remember it still standing but didn’t know the had sold it on, thank you.

My local (not that I go in much these days,) it's always been a good pub and a good split of reds and blues, though as always it's the blues that go to the games. They had a great football team in the late 90s and early noughties, I've heard their goalie was a worldie.
