41 years of age, grew up in a village in Ireland, fell in love with the blue in the mid-seventies, when there were only rags, pool and leeds being followed. Corrigan was my hero, always wanted to be the keeper. Was always a source of amusement when going thru school years, why Man. City? At that age Maine Road was a million miles away, but I was there in spirit every Saturday, always imagined myslf sitting near the woman that used to ring the bell behind the goals. I still have all my diaries, games, results,scorers, etc.
Left school, got me job, and saved for my first trip to the pictures on my wall. Stayed in some kip out in Palatine Rd, Didsbury. Maine Road was everything I expected and more, the atmosphere, the people, the first bar lady I spoke to in the old social club was married to a man from my town. That was City, it was like I had being going there all my life. Went there as often as I could over the next few years, some great days, some shite days, some great players, more shite players, but I was there. I could go back and tell all these supposed rags about Manchester, the place that they would only ever see on their wall. Only drawback was that in the times they were, and that I was an Irishman travelling on my own, I was always invited in for a "cosy" chat with the authorities going in and out of the airport. On the Sunday they would always throw in question about how a certain player had played, when they actually hadnt played at all.
Haven't been able to get to Eastlands as much since the club moved, but I'm rearing my own branch of supporters club now. Brought them all to Eastlands two days after the jersey launch, we were the best kitted out family in Blackpool for the rest of the week! City jerseys are springing up all over our town now, we even have a couple of season ticket holders, one actually won BBC 5 Live Fan of the Year a few seasons ago (anybody who went away to Groclin should have got an award). Sorry for been so drawn out, we may not be local, but we love our Blues over here, and we're on a drive now to immunise the country against the red plague. Superbia In Proelia!

Excellent post, Good luck with your very own the branch, the family that is.

I reckon in my school it would be very similar.

Maybe more Rags the Pool fans though. I'm based in Dublin.

On the top of my head, we've got 2 City fans. One Bolton, one Everton..
And a few of them lads follow Shels and Rovers too.

i worked in ireland in the 70s and 80s, mostly Belfast and i met quite a few blues, one lad in particular who was labouring for us got a severe beating one night and ended up in hospital, cos we were english we were advised not to visit, so when i flew home that weekend i went to the club shop and bought a shirt and scarf and a picture of maine road, then i went to the hospital on monday and dropped the lot on his bed, that was the biggest rush ever and even better the ward sister was a rag, we pissed ourselves and the lads dad walked round the ward with the scarf tied round his head. QUALITY TIME!

Irish Blues north and south deserve the utmost respect, not only for spreading the Blue gospel but also for having to put up with more Rags than we have in Manchester, and ones who talk even more drivel at that. Hard to believe I know, but the Irish rags are the biggest shite talkers of the lot of them.

You've had the pleasure of listening to them then? They really are a joy to behold, aren't they?

 

[CELTICRORY]

Ah to be fair many of the United fans in my school hate Liverpool more then City cas of all the Liverpool fans and no City fans :P

 

[Paladin]

One Rangers fan? Has he got a death wish? The class nutter?
