What does it take to be considered a real City fan?

You have to hate The Smiths

I'm in!

Full on

I shit bricks every time we play
I smile for days when we win
I sulk for days when we don't

simple checklist

Born in Manchester (everyone should support their local club)
Supported them all your life (no one can ever have more than one club)

This is the simply answer to the OP

whilst I have no problem with the new fans and success brings new fans and the club actually needs these fans and I even accept that will price some of the life long City fans out of the club

but to be a "Real Blue" you need to be able to answer Yes to the first two points sorry if this offends anyone who can't answer yes but that's my opinion

So if you had a son but you weren't living in Manchester when he was born he could never be a true City fan?

Everything in my wardrobe has the City crest on it. Wearing full kit right now.

I never understood why anyone from anywhere outside Manchester would want to support City? I was always brought up to support my local club.

Thankfully were not all brought up the same way, otherwise i wouldn't be a city fan.

The thing with City fans is that we come in all shapes and sizes, you don't have to have been at York away or have a family who've never had a rag in it. I was born on Thornton Road, couldn't get much closer to the Kippax/Platt Lane, Dad was a blue (sadly passed away in 71) and can honestly never remember a time when the thought of not being a City fan entered my head, I just was. Work and finance (or lack of it) stopped me going through most of the 80's and 90's but now I have the time and resources to travel to most games. What I enjoy most about being a City fan is that when we get together, whether it's Barcelona, Wembley or Hull, there is a great camaraderie between the fans and as someone who normally travels alone you're rarely without someone to chat and have a beer with. So I would say, one of the signs of being a 'real' City fan is that you can't help yourself from acknowledging a fellow Blue. It might only be a nod or "alright mate" but you recognise a shared interest and bond.

Very very true :)
