Manchester North or South

[york away to this!]

Lots of blues in Hale and Alty. Historically outnumbered, though.

I went to Parrs Wood (in the '70s); it was about 65% Blue / 35% red. The boozer in Burnage I worked in (round the corner from Noel & Liam) was completely red ; dunno about the rest of Burnage . Fallowfield Ladybarn Leve all mostly Blue . Chorlton , where I grew up, about 50/50. Most, nearly all, of the crowd I hung around with in Dids were blues

I bet that didn't stop Noel & Liam going in for a bevvy :-)

Is that the one up from the sun in September? Going down burnage Lane towards the green end? can't remember it's name...the albion maybe...looks like a cottage/bungalow type place.
You probably know my ex...she went to Parrs Wood at that time.
I grew up in Heaton Mersy and it was funny every time we ventured down towards burnage there was a row. My Dad said it was because the beer was dire down there no wonder they ended up fighting. Some red tried to smash a beer bottle on my head outside the kingsway....another dump.
I moved into a place late 80's round the corner from the Victoria on the corner of burnage Lane & Mauldeth road..it was a good spot....stayed their about 12 years....handy for getting into town...or stumbling home from the Palace in Levenshulme...I'm sure you know those haunts. Good times.

I don’t agree with Hale.

I grew up in Timperley and have lived in Alty and I don’t recall ever meeting a City fan from Hale. City fans around the Alty area all come from Oldfield Brow, Broadheath, Timperley and the Broomwood.

North of Deansgate is backwards Soviet territory, yonners and rags

Stockport must be a MASSIVE place

For match going fans at least, Broomwood is without dispute a Blue stronghold

Salford
Newcastle
Preston.

Any where the river is a boundary really.

You missed my point. I said where the city centre is at the boundary.
Salford precinct isn't at the boundary and neither is Preston town centre. Newcastle can be classed at the mouth / estuary of the river which i discounted in my op

Didsbury was a sad case. When I was young, living in Northenden, Didsbury was solid blue. During our long demise, the rags got a foothold there with red appearing in some pubs. I expect some are still there.

The Nelson, despite having a wall-sized photo of Best, Law & Charlton in one of it's rooms, was a Blue pub . I remember watching the replay in there on MOTD the day of the 5-1 against Charlton ; rammed solid with Blues that night

The Taylor family in Alty, being just one rag example
