I have always been a sniffy fucker when an out of towner Blue usually called Colin has started speaking to me when we’ve been on holiday abroad. My GLW has even commented that I have been quite rude! My view? If you ain’t a Manc then you ain’t a Blue and I will confess it was purely because every rag didn’t come from Manchester that we always seemed to meet and I became quite insular with regards to Blues.
I admit now that our fan base has to grow. I was wrong. I suppose I am one of these legacy fans I keep hearing about. Embrace it we’re a global brand.
Maybe in another generation, as the song says, when other lads ( and lasses of course) have come to take our place. We’ll, they’re here now and growing we never stipulated where we wanted them to actually come from did we?
