There’s roughly 17,000 babies born each week in the UK. If you guess that maybe about half of them will grow up to be football fans, then about 8,500 children per week just in this country are deciding which team to support. And the vast majority of them will still be supporting that team the day they die.
Plus, the area you’re born in seems to be growing less relevant each passing year.
I wouldn’t even like to guess how many of them are choosing City each week. But I think you can say with some certainty that it will be a higher number than at any other point in history.
