Which secondary school did you attend?

I was in the I.R.A. Which made it awkward when talking to my relatives in Ulster.
 
Kingsway for a bit and then woods lane.

There weren’t many city fans, but the ones that were went to games.
When was that? When I was at Primary School in Cheadle Hulme (Lane End 1966-1971) the split was very much in favour of City. Had I stayed in CH I would have gone to Woods Lane with most of the rest of the class.

Actual Secondary Schools were Brookway and then Smithills Grammar for 6th form.

I’m a bit younger than that ;) I was in high school from 2005-2010. I think it reflects the period of time. There were not many city fans at all in school. Even now from my experience most of the people around my age group are United fans.

The main difference being that most city fans I know go to the match, where as most United fans I know watch on the tele.
 
Chorlton Grammar School and Lunatic Asylum.

Halfway through it turned into Chorlton High School. We had an input of girls and it became a tad more civilised.

About 50% City and Rags. I would say 90% of the sound lads were City, although in fairness there was a minority of decent Rags.

I hated the fucking place with the passion of 1000 blazing suns. My main regret in life is that I didn't break in one night and burn the shithole down.
 
I attended Burnage Whatever-it-is-now when it was Buenage High School, many years ago now.

Former pupils wer Roger Byrne (Man Utd, killed at Munich), Wes Brown, Jason & Daren Beckford.

Can't think of anyone else.
I went to its predecessor, Burnage Grammar School, 1963 to 1969.
Other Alumni included Alan Badel the actor, Norman Foster, the architect and Michael Croft, founder of the National Youth theatre and in my time Rob Behrens, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, the Smithson brothers, Mike, an ex Lib Dem MP and John, a BAFTA winning film director and Ian Wilson of Sad Cafe fame.

I loathed every minute I was there.

Same here. I was at Yew Tree from 78 to 83. Do you remember any of the teachers? "Brass Neck"? "Vampire/Werewolf"?
Brass neck sounds familiar. Dont remember the other. I remember the headmaster Mr Hockly?? Was called batman as he used to wear a black robe all the time.
