Manc or not (Merged)

Not a single Blue on my Mum and Dad's side. Dad was even on United's books until being released at 16.

First games I was taken to were at Old Trafford, including a couple of European games, when I was 8 years old in 1984. I hated the place and the people instantly. My Dad hadn't been for years and was also taken aback by how much things had changed (he never went a massive amount anyway due to him playing semi-pro).

Then, I remember the day vividly, I was pissing about on my bike outside and my Dad comes out, "Fancy going to Maine Road?" "Where?" "Maine Road, City's ground. They're playing Crystal Palace." "Yeah. Ok."

No word of a lie, I fell in love with the place instantly. Bearing in mind I'd been to a packed Old Trafford for European games, I was now at a 2nd Division game (1984-85 season) with the ground at 2/3 capacity at best but I loved it and I was hooked. The best thing was, so was my Dad! We've been going ever since and his season ticket is next to me. He hates the c*nts with a passion. Bizarre in a way.

Just remember, it takes a 'special' kind of crowd and club which makes an eight year old think, "Who are these bellends? It's shit here" and to make a grown man change allegiances - but it takes a genuinely special club to provide a real alternative.

We chose City rather than City choosing us. I'm proud of that.
