Overseas support

[3rdgenerationblue]

I'm not overseas but as someone who now lives in kent and as we moved 50yrs ago as a 5yr old i dont really have my manc accent anymore seems to come out more after a few beers !. People in kent say i have a slight manc twang and when i come 'home' i get called a cockney even though i'm about 60 miles from london.

It does worry me abit that my lads could get called glory hunters now but my lads are quick to say that their dad, granddad, great granddad are all from Manchester and are City we have blue blood !.

If some people call me and my lads glory hunters so be it , we know we arent and i did ask my wife if we could drive the 300 miles to Manchester we she was in labour, it didnt go down well ! !

In all the games we have been to we have never had anyone say any thing about our accents, in fact when the lads were young fans around us woukd ask were abouts are you from and what time did you leave etc etc[/quote

good point. As a third gen blue living in the soft underbelly of the south having been dragged down as a kid i now have adult kids who are mad blues and their kids ( whenever) will be 5th generation blues whose forefathers went to Hyde road.

This make them any more or any less of a blue? Or just a part of our wonderful blue family? I choose the latter.

I'm always getting picked on because of how I speak. I'm frightened to go to games.

Stop talking like Oscar Wilde then...

I talk much camper than he did.

I thought I saw u once in Lytham St Anne's, turns out it was just a row of deckchairs...

I'm not a mancunian..was born in Colwyn Bay and brought up in Llandudno

Although my old man was from Wythenshawe I am a proud Welshman

Been going to the match since 1982..lived in manc for nearly 20 years

If anyone tells me I'm not a true blue to my face they'll get a smack in the mouth ;-)

Doesn't seem like a true blue to me.

Just a quick question.. Is there an element of the city following who doesn't welcome support from outside Manchester particularly overseas and Ireland? Or is there just so little between their ears that they consider all Irish citizens to be bomb throwing terrorists? I am referring to some fuck the IRA and fuck Dublin chants/songs on the bus out to the ground which I guess we're triggered by the overhearing of Irish accents, supported city for decades and find this behaviour disgraceful

NO mate but some fans just sing songs without understanding where they come from.

Now I can live with the Asian hordes, the southern softys and the North American meatheads, but the Welsh, the bloody Welsh, that's taking it a bit too far...

You don't have to be a Mancunian in order to support City the fact that the majority of our fans are or have very close family connections with the City is neither here nor there in my book all are welcome

I'll have you know that I traced my lineage thru the millennia, and we stepped out of the Irwell circa 40.000.000 years bc...
