Umm, no?big blueballs said:Never, you are either born into a family of supporters of a club, it is usually your local clubsteve.mansfield@live.co.uk said:People do change teams from time to time though, i dotn see the big deal, i used to be Charlton, then Spurs, now i'm a blue, people might knock me for this but it just took me a while to see the light, i doubt i'd mention it on tv though.
Palerider said:So lets get this right, anyone who starts supporting us from now on is a glory hunter? How are we to grow as a club? Who will fill the seats midweek for the Carling Cup ties? Who will fill the seats for European games against minnows like Juventus? Do you think Sheik Mansour has spent/will spend all that money to stay exactly as we were? We still seem to have plenty of empty seats available for our modest 48000 seater stadium. If you want the club to progress then I suggest everyone welcomes new supporters. Maybe they will have kids who support City from the cradle to the grave and fulfil the "lifetime support" ideal. I have been a City season ticket holder since 1974 and welcome anyone who puts their bum on a seat and supports City. People change. Clubs change. It's called progress.

When we finally win a trophy I want to celebrate with like-minded souls who have suffered with me over the last 34 years. I have no interest in celebrating with someone who has chosen City as a 'lifestyle choice'.
I need a drink.
I 100% agree with you on this,it includes those who because of what we are now support us as a 2nd team aswell.I have no interest in celebrating with someone who has chosen City as a 'lifestyle choice'.

I was a washy southerner for a good 11 years of my life. Brought up by a family not affiliated to a team... I got into football around the age of 8/9 and my best mate at the time was a lad from Warrington, he moved opposite to me when he was 7. His family were reds, and I pretty much got introduced to football by him, and them and started to kind of be a rag 'fan' wouldn't of called myself a fan as I never had the misfortune of going to the swamp. Anyway, to cut a long story short, my mum, single at the time met my now step dad on holiday when I was 10, big blue he is. They started seeing each other more and more after the holiday, and when I went up he bought me the white first advice shirt, with the red and black sash, this was in 2002. I still wasn't 100% convinced... Anyway, he ended up taking me to the last City game at Maine Road. Had a spare ticket as his Uncle had to work. From that day on, I've been blue. One of the best experiences of my life (even though we lost). Not long after we (me and mum) moved to Manchester. I'm 18 now. Never looked back. My love for this club will carry on even when I die! Runs through the blood now.
Never had an encounter with Didsbury... there is a jay_mcfc on here, you might of mistaken me with him!m27 said:Jay-Mcfc said:Most of us are being honest, so I will.

Forgive me if I've got this wrong, but weren't you one of the ones having a serious go at Didsbury Dave?
