If you didn't support City, who would you support?

Was chatting with me dad (a blue) about there being no City. How my life and personality would be so friggin different.

But even with all the ups and downs and downs and downs I wouldn't have the thick skin I have today. Being able to argue when the facts are heavily weighted against you, when alot of the people you know have just watched 'their' team win a treble on the telly and I was off to wembley for a 3rd tier play off.

WELL I WOULDN'T CHANGE IT FOR THE WORLD..... NEVER

Ooh dear , another one makes a trip across the great divide to vist a forum that puts his own in the shade .......
 
Liverpool; my son was a season ticket holder there and my friend has a seat next to the Director's box and I have used them when they have not been able to attend and, much as I know that this will probably mean I get drummed out of the Eccles OSC branch, the atmosphere there was great and I love football so I would have to support someone if City didn't exist.
 
this might seem a little deep, but i think the team you support tends to dictate your personality.

obviously im a blue, but one of my mates is a part time united fan and always seems to not get that interested in anything not just football.

Another mate is also rag (im from Cheshire along with my mates and thats quite close to Manchester and Merseyside so theres only ever City,United,Lpool and Everton fans) but hes actually quite loyal and goes regularly, but he seems to be insecure when losing and will often quit if things dont start going his way.

My closest mate is an Everton fan. cut a long story short hes bitter about absolutely everything, and he often likes to say he hated City before they got good, and of course being an evertonian he still maintains that 1) man for man Everton have a better team and 2) Lionel Messi wouldnt make Everton a better team..........

whereas I, i can take defeat, however when the next oppurtunity comes around i make bloody well sure ive won or died trying. and if im honest had i supported a different team i dont think id have that attitude towards life or rugby.

in relation to your question i have a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday
 
no one. you only ever have one club in your life.you might have a soft spot for another club,like rangers etc,but that would never fill the void of no man city in your life !!!!

Seems there's a few Town sympathisers amongst us. Great place, great club. A mate's a big fan of theirs and I've been a few times... Saw them beat Birmingham in the FA Cup a couple of years ago.

I went there as well. Chris Brandon winner!
 
Growing up I liked Inter & Real (after City of course ) but I went to Barcelona & read about how the Catalans were treated so I would have to choose them. Could never support another English team.
 
Hate to say it but the answer is United.

I'm a local lad, Manchester born and bred. City is my home town team.

If City had never existed then I would have been a united fan. They would have been my home town team.

If City were to suddenly stop existing then I wouldn't support anyone for a few years whilst I mourned the loss of the club I love. If a 'new' MCFC were to be formed I would obviously support them, otherwise maybe Stockport or even a non league team.

Exactly this. I am a Manchester lad.

The only difference, I was born into it, didn't have a choice and was afforded good genes.
 
Celtic, most likely. Most of my family are Celtic fans (Scottish and Irish roots).

I couldn't now support another English club; although I have a soft spot for Macc Town as that is where I went to Grammar School and indeed is where the wife is from. We now live in the Thames Valley but I couldn't adopt one of the teams down here (Oxford's ground is a 10 minute drive away): if I could, I wouldn't still be schlepping up the M40 and M6 to Eastlands.

I've been a fan of Barcelona and AC Milan since the 70's so Barca would just become my favourite team if City disappeared because, being a City supporter, Milan have rather hacked me off in last two years. Love those black and red stripes though.

If rags were the only options, i think most of us wouldnt give damn about football to begin with.

i would rather watch big brother

Rubbish! If the rags were the only club in manchester and city never existed you would support united, it's the same for united fans, if the only club was city then they would support us.
 
If City disappeared tomorrow probably the club I watch the most now – ”Bajen” or Hammarby in Stockholm. I go there more often than I get to City but I don't think of myself as a supporter - I just can't do without going to a game sometimes.

It's a nice little ground with a proper standing section behind one goal. And – you can drink on the terraces. It's football as it should be – leaning on a barrier with a cold lager in your hand, having a bit of banter with the away fans and watching two third rate donkeys knocking lumps out of each other.

If City never existed and United were like they are now, I honestly couldn't see myself being happy as a red, so ”the blues” - Curzon Ashton.

Me too! As I seem to spend half my life on Maine Road F.C. business anyway the transition would be less painful than for most. City's home games always come first though. If they didn't exist - God, I would really miss the pub before and after Eastlands and being able to watch City without having to do the match report for the programme!

Next home game (weather permitting) at Brantingham Road on 18th v Barnoldswick (Billy Bradshaw's team?) Only a £5 to get in. It would be good to see any of you there. City colours especially welcome....tough game too!
