The Sun's "poll" claims Manchester is red...

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

The MEN did this one just before the derby which they didn't claim as being scientific but probably provides a fair reflection.

Surprised that rural Wigan is that blue to be honest.
I have never seen anyone sat near me with six fingers and webbed feet consuming pies intravenously.

There was an interactive map in the articlehttp://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereve...s-where-city-and-united-fans-really-come-from. If you click on the Wigan blobs one shows 100% blue, another shows 75% blue etc which suggests that only a couple of people in Wigan bothered responding to the poll (they were probably too busy queueing at the pie shop).

who wasn't bright enough to get in the Victoria University of Manchester?

In a nutshell mate.
We only made the Met a university to con thick southerners.
I gave a lecture there once,and I swear the few students who weren't stoned or asleep took notes in crayon.

Doesn't surprise me at all, this 'study' had basic flaws right from the off, at the time our kid was an ST holder living in Chester, I was living in either Chorley or Stockport, he was born at the MRI, I was born at Withington, both of us grew up in Fallowfield and Wythenshawe, yet we will have been shown as 'out of towners', as ever, a poor show and this will be no different, sad bastards

And that's a flaw because...? No United fans have moved out of the City?

It's covered by the report (72% of United s.t. holders and 78% of City s.t. holders lived within the North West) - which means 28% of United's s.t. holders lived outside the region (so not all from London). Otherwise why are people so keen to diss a report which proved there were more City s.t. holders in the City of Manchester than United s.t. holders? And more in adjoining SK and most OL postcodes too.

Was just about to post the 2002 report from Manchester Met University. Just seen its already been posted, more than anything highlights the depravity of articles in the red tops when people believe the findings of an unsubstantiated poll with no sources etc. No doubt there are flaws with the MMU report but at least they publish the framework etc to be able to criticise.

Been told to fuck off back to Stockport a few times today already..!!

 

[SWP's back]

Pmsl, I mean fucking hell we really do have them rattled now don't we.
So around 14% follow city and around 56% the rags:) so 1 in 4 mancs are blues lol, try and do a postcode search of cold Trafford and compare it to our place.

Clutching at straws or what.

Mind you there is no agenda .

Oh deary me Bill, your maths certificate form your University of Life may need looking at.

14% is approximately 1 in 6 not one in 4.

It is obviously bollocks though.
