Some good reads in here.
Not
Dad from Openshaw, mum from Salford. Spent my first 4 months on the planet in Whitefield but then the family moved to Scotland where I grew up.
In my eyes though Manchester has shaped who I am. My accent, the words I use, the football team I love, the way I dress, the music I listen too, my extended family and my history are all linked to the city.
When I go to Manchester it's like coming home, I don't feel any real affinity to Scotland (It's what I know rather than who I am). So no as much as I'd like too I can't claim to be a Mancunian but I feel like one and that's good enough for me.

Born in Dublin moved to Manchester when I was 4. Went to St Caths and St Marks (Barlow for you youngsters) in Didsbury.
Now live in Ramsbottom and had a season ticket/card for many moons. My 4 year old has his own season card now. He'll have it (in footballing terms) a lot easier than me.

Was born in a European country where all the English speakers supported the rags or Liverpool.
Admittedly when I was really young I was a rag too and then something clicked and I became a blue. It was all a bit too plastic for me.
I have a Southern accent and have to admit sometimes I get the odd look from a 'real' manc when I go to the odd game. Might be because of my 'posh' accent, might be cus I'm ugly.
