El Rincon is a big blue haunt. A lot of the staff go there after the games as well

The owner of El Rincon is an ex Spanish footballer, looks like he's in his 60's now. He has some brilliant footy memorabelia on the Walls including a signed Maradonna shirt. One of the waitresses told me he has sided as a City fan since living in the city. I have been told his name but can't remember!

This is true. I know a couple of spanish dudes who have worked there over the years. It is also a fav haunt of Gary Owen. On a different note was passing a pub the other day, I think it was chadderton and there was a city flag flying from the flag pole. Anyone know what it is called only spotted the flag in my mirror.

Perhaps Blue Moon should have some scheme where it awards a Blue Moon to a Pub which can prove its a real city pub and have them listed on this site? LOL

The Windmill in Denton is blue, reds do go in when they are on but it has always been a blue pub, ever since my Grandad lead a conga round there in 1974 when they went down.

The rags are off to Oldham, the rags are off to Oldham dadadada.....remember it well. John Hulme 1912 -1989 (my dad )....City till he died.

Cockney reds met up in the waldorf, night before leeds, id say depending whose at home id say.

Mothermacs great pub, joan is a star.

pmsl I fucking hate that joke club.

Fair play to Macs though, they wouldn't let Reds in before derby and always play host to Scandanavian Blues Supporters who come in droves. Been in there lots of times and it's defo blue!
