I just started following City the year before last, after the 2010 World Cup (I had told myself in 2006 that I wanted to follow the EPL, but waking up at 8 AM on weekends didn't work out...). So I decided to watch some games and figure out which team appealed to me and settled on City. Watched some games, yada yada, really got into it starting last fall. Then this past spring I studied abroad in Ireland and fell in love even more, although this time is was a bit awkward, since two of my roommates were big United fans. Made it over to the Blackburn game at the end of February (definitely my favorite memory of the term), and I'd say now that City's probably my second favorite sports team, just behind my local ice hockey team.
Over in Limerick--I'm back in the States now--I'd always hear things about how all the new fans were just glory hunters, but I feel like even if the team did turn to shit, I'd still love them. My local teams aren't exactly bastions of success, with the four of them combining for a grand total of one championship in the past 29 years and my NHL team going Cup-less since 1975. Hopefully I won't have to worry about that though!
