Plus, as others have already said on here, our ability to laugh at ourselves. Let's face it; if we couldn't, we'd all have jumped off the top of the CIS tower long ago!
You can't - the top of that tower is not open to the public. And even if it was, after the first few City fans had thrown themselves off somebody would have put a fence up.
I love City because they have James Milner. My type of feller is James. No nonsense about him.

honestly, because I detested United and Roy Keane.. then I looked into the history of City and I found that it was the only team in English league(s) history that got beaten by an opponent with zero shot on goal... you have to support a team like that...

because if the whole club was a bloke he'd be your best mate
Because my first relocations of football were watching a Manchester Derby on Granada TV (Kickoff with Gerald Sinstadt or the Big Match that showed the Derby game, I am not sure which) aged about 5, and with no particular family ties to any club, simply having an affinity with the team in Sky Blue and wanting them\willing them to win. I think it was the 3-3 Derby in 1971 .
From their on in I was hooked on City and got my Dad interested (who was from a Rugby League town) and went to my first game a couple of years later wanting to see Colin Bell in particular,
I soon learned about disappointment supporting City, going to Wembley and seeing them lose the League Cup Final to Wolves in 1974, but then the joy in 1976 at the same Final, followed by lots more disappointments , the 81 Final, relegations etc. but with with just the odd glimmer of sunshine (2-0 in the Derby when Tony Henry and Mike Robinson scored, promotion v Charlton, 5-1 v Trafford, 10-1 v Huddersfield, 1999 play off final, 2000 promotion v Blackburn, 3-1 in the last Maine Road Derby etc), and now the recent sunlight glory.

Make that recollections rather than relocations, although at Maine Rod for example did start off in the Kippax covered section and then moved to Kippax open section near North Stand and then Platt Lane Stand and then North Stand, so maybe ?
