No rope intended my friend, just seems to me that City’s most hardcore support comes from the North and East of the City
Loads of City in East Manc.......agree North Manc has too many redsNot a chance. Simply because United fans are easily outnumbered 5-1 in the Southern areas and Stockport.
When you add, Moss Side, Fallowfield, Withington, Didsbury, Chorlton, Whalley Range, Sale, Alty, Northenden, Wythenshawe, Longsight, Levenshulme BEFORE all the Stockport and Cheshire satellite areas, it will likely be 60/40.
City brought out a season ticket map about ten years ago and it wasn't even close.
In my experience, South and East Greater Manchester is more blue than red and North and West Greater Manchester is more red than blue.
There are big blue concentrated areas like:
Gorton
Miles Platting
Didsbury
Wythenshawe
Timperley
Sale Moor
Stockport
Failsworth
Levensnhulme
Burnage
And big red concentrated areas like:
Sale
Stretford
Salford
Newton Heath
Moston
Hale (don’t think I’ve ever met a City fan from Hale all my mates who do jobs like gardening and joinery always say when they do jobs in Hale, they’re always reds)
Beswick
Chorlton-cum-Hardy
Crumpsall
Collyhurst
Monsall
There was a MEN map done a while ago that shows is just about spot-on for me:

Hasn’t Sale Moor always been a blue enclave anyway? With Sale being one of United’s main match going supporter based, especially Ashton-on-Mersey.No chance Sale is Red.
It used to be but changed drastically over last 15 years. Some of the biggest supporter clubs in country are in Sale and Brooklands.
I do kids football and it's even more marked how many boys and girls are in City shirts. I speak to their parents and they were Reds themselves.
If you were going along the Chester Road towards Northwich there was coach after coach going to Old Toilet from N.Wales.One of the things I always remembered on away trips in the 70's and 80's was seeing Utd coaches coming to Manchester from any direction we went.
We used drink in the Packet and Navi in Broadheath and used to see them all coming down Manchester Road after United games and we’d be out giving them all shit chucking things at the coaches as they were on their way back down South with their ‘READING REDS’ flags in the back or wherever they were from.One of the things I always remembered on away trips in the 70's and 80's was seeing Utd coaches coming to Manchester from any direction we went.
Meeting them in service stations was always a laughWe used drink in the Packet and Navi in Broadheath and used to see them all coming down Manchester Road after United games and we’d be out giving them all shit chucking things at the coaches as they were on their way back down South with their ‘READING REDS’ flags in the back or wherever they were from.
