I was born in Somerset but my grandparents lived in Saddleworth. My grandad took me to watch City from a young age whenever I was up there so I became hooked on the team. I lived in the north for half my adult life and went to Maine Road, 100 miles from my home, many times during the dark years. I was there for most home games during the Kinkladze years and protested with the fans to get Swailes out, so don’t call me a plastic fan. I actually find your attitude quite offensive, I hate plastic by the way. Do you really want City’s fan base to live within ten miles of the ground? If so they would struggle to fill Stockport’s stadium.
