Who have you brought into the City family?

[Balti]

My son, daughter and wife.

Lads first game was Walsall at home about ten years ago. We won 3 - 0 and the Goat scored.

Daughters was a couple of years before that and was also Walsall. We scored 3 again and the Goat bagged a brace.

My long suffering wife hated football but was dragged to Maine Road to see that classic xmas game against stoke the same season where we were losing but roared them back to victory and the start of the long climb out of the third division. She's been hooked ever since even though Goat didn't score ffs!!

So now a fanatical Blue family with extra ST holders which I know will continue down the generations when I am long gone

4 sons, one daughter, one wife and 3 kids who live in the street up here near Boro.

When I first met my wife she hated football with a passion, but she is now as blue as they come. She has had her loyalty tested like us all through the years and has sarcastically thanked me for making her a Blue with tears in her eyes on more than one occasion after relagations and derby day defeats. I expect a genuine thank you from her soon as we lift a major trophy!!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I left Manchester a long time ago and when my two boys were born I decided to try to let them choose their own teams to support when they were old enough. I wanted them to fall for a team that caught their heart or attention, or a player they admired. You know the sort of thing.
At the time I didn't know any other City fans around here (have discovered a few since) so knew there was a chance they would be influenced by friends etc, but decided it was the right thing to do.
They spend a good bit of time at my brother-in -laws' house, after school etc, and he's a utd fan, the obsessive kind! Nice bloke, but hard work. His son is a couple of years older than mine......you can probably see where this story is going!!!
My eldest starting saying a few things about utd, so I explained the 'let him choose' theory to my Brother-in-law. Then one day I arrived to pick him up and they had put him in a utd shirt. I took my kids home and told them they were City fans. Did it nicely, in a way that they accepted they didn't get to choose. If somebody was going to choose a club for them it was going to be me.
When I had calmed down I spoke nicely to my brother-in-law!
Now, not only are my lads City mad, but a couple of their friends (who wouldn't have chosen City without somebody to make them think of it) are Blue as well.

The way I see it, a few lads have been put on the right path, and my lads were saved from the 'dark side' along the way!

Let my lad choose and the bugger picked Everton! Means that the vile red in his life is reserved for The Dippers. He has a hatred for LFC which matches mine for MANUre.

Well I have now reached the grand old age of 44 and have introduced:

Ex missus (now divorced but still blue)
Daughter when she was 12 (ST holder)
Current missus (ST Holder)
Grandaughter (aged 7 weeks but am I still hopeful)

Not bad for a Blue impregnating Stoke!!

 

[BlueMentalNurse]

Told my husband when he was my boyfriend I'd only ever marry a city fan. We've been very happily City fans for 18 months now. :-)

Am now 51, saw City lift the league cup in 76 and was at some games with my dad when city won the league, have had a ST since 1976 even when living for years in the USA in the early 90's and got back for a few games. Both my boys are now ST holders and all 3 of us go to games all home and some away.

City till we all die

I have a two and half year old son who is already showing great signs of being a blue, tells everyone he meets that he is one of the city boys and cries when I go to the game as he wants to come with me. Took him to one game already looking like my matchdays of freedom are drawing to an end. In my younger days I used to work in nurseries and schools and remember being summoned to the managers office as a few parents had complained that there toddlers were now city fans! So I reckon a few might still be.

My brother got me into football. Our dad was never into it at all, and funnily enough used to go to OT in the 60's. When we appointed Keegan it was the same year our old man retired so to get him out of the house we started to take him to the match. No season ticket for me then so me and my dad sat in the Gene Kelly most of the time as the Kippax was always sold out and I refused to sit anywhere else. He fucking loved it! He loved it that much that when we moved stadiums he bought a season ticket with me. He still maintains to this day though, (even though he doesn't really know much about football), that the Championship, (o what it was in 2000), is ten times the league the Premier League is, and I tend to agree with him. That year was some of the finest football i've seen as a City fan, the 2001/2002 season with Benarbia. He doesn't bother now due to the cost of it. Weird though eh, the sons getting the dad into football?!
