I'm a blue and I have a confession - I have no natural affiliation to Manchester.
My father was not a great footbal fan and I have no geographical link to a team as I've always lived in the heart of Kent. I enjoyed football when I was young - especially watching United lose - but I didn't follow a particular team.
I've followed City since university, nearly six years ago, when my friends decided I need a specific team. Enter City! I watched from afar, bought the shirts and finally, when I had a full time job and could afford it bought my first season ticket this year.
I'm onboard for this rollercoaster and the derby is hugely important to me. But I will probably always feel something slightly hollow in not being from Manchester...
The exception that makes the rule.
