Manchester North or South

Don't lots of kids go to school in areas away from where they live?

Not when I was there. All pretty much from Reddish or Brinny

Arndale was 100% blue before it got blown up and they demolished the flats. I know cos I was the only **** who liked football who lived there. My gaff top window on right of this pic. A City fortress.

This map shows Bury as being United territory.
And yet the biggest City supporters club is Prestwich and Whitefield.
Make of that what you want.

Whitefield always came across as blue to me.
Lots of Blues in Bury.
Heywood was 50/50 for yrs but its definitely blue these days

Wythenshawe is part of the city of Manchester
I think that was opportunistic so they could include the airport in the city boundaries

I know it is when built is was dubbed an overspill estate in some areas of Manchester as Traditionally Manchester was north of the mersey and Lancastrian only, that ended when Northenden was asborbed into the city in the 1930s.

Was just joking at it is in Cheshires palatine and the good folk of the place who I know (I work there a few days a week) get annoyed when you call them chesire folk not mancs

They do have their own airport though ;-)

North side

I'm a bit suspicious of City support outside of Blackley, 'Apper-ray, Moston, Crumpsall 'n Collyhurst!

So it's true what I used to say as a kid about you North Manc lads not being able to recognise our accent.. because it's 'educated'..(says I, the lad from 'Yoom'!!)

What does educated mean?

Actual fans or followers.

Whichever way you define it, It’s always been two completely different questions with hugely differing answers.

That is very true. Chorlton full of TV rags when the ground is about a mile away

Are areas like Hulme, Moss Side, Rusholme still blue?

Lived in Hulme for 13 years between 2006-2019 and it's definitely not blue.

It's not really a rag stronghold either.

Couple of reasons for that is a another poster pointed out it has a large multicultural population who have no interest in football and during the time I lived there there was a huge influx of students as it's cheaper to live there rather than the city centre but it's still within easy reach of the universities
