It's a myth this one. Old Trafford is in the Borough of Trafford, which is not part of the City of Salford. Sure fellow Salford Blues get sick of hearing that they are from the City.
I once read somewhere that Salford is the biggest place in England not represented by a football league, and latterly premier league club.
We do have the ORIGINAL Red Devils though - the mighty Salford RLFC!

I think OT borders on Salford, Stretford and Trafford, but even so that's where I'm guessing the hotbed is for rags in the Greater Manchester area.
Salford Reds eh? You a supporter? They finally won a match this weekend! ;)

citykev28 said:born and raised in eccles and have to say it is red. in my year at high school (st.pats) there was me and another blue in the entire year and he wasn't arsed. he turned out a good blue though.
funny story from eccles though, i used to get the shit kicked out of me by 5th year lads at st.pat's when i was 1st year because i was a blue/gobby little get.
when they came back with the '91 ecwc, i knew a few of the older lads were going for a drink at the white horse on eccles old road. i slipped my city home top on and covered it with a tracky top. turned up over the road from the boozer a bit before the rag bus came. there were my older tormentors acting cool with pints of lager and cigs. i started shouting over at one of them who used to give me real good hidings. he spotted me and tried to laugh it off in front of his mates. i undid the tracky and unveiled the sky blue and shouted "millsy, you lanky red bastard." most of the rags were laughing as i was just a mouthy 12 year old blue but "millsy" lost all decorum whilst chasing me about half a mile up eccles old road. jesus wept, i paid for that the next time he got hold of me on the school bus!!

Yeah, looks like it's gonna be another long, hard season for Salford. Used to have a season ticket - it was City Saturday, Salford Sunday, but follow them from afar now.
Yes, used to pop up to Moor Lane occasionally to watch Salford City when the Blues weren't playing. There's also Irlam Town within the City boundaries - if they're still around?
