Why I love Manchester City

[Ballymagash Blue]

Because of the little silk scarf I got as a Junior Blue.

A nice positive thread on our beloved club,

So I love City because...

- Our close family ties
- The working-class element that has always been attached to the Club
- The connection between City and the 'Madchester' music scene
- The only club where you can experience the depths of Division Two and be the champions of England 13 years later, in the modern game
- Past glories with great players like Bell, Brook, Trautmann, Summerbee, Swift, Johnson etc.
- The only reigning champions to be relegated (Typical City)
- The loyalty of the fans, and the humour
- Size of our fan-base considering the lack of success before 2011
- The integrity of our owners
- CFA

Your turn...

The hate and ignorance towards City not only in England but things are changing

The Colors

The supporters! In November 1994 I made my first trip to England. Had a thing for Manchester, musically speaking, and my first visit included a trip to OT to see City V. Rags. Surrounded by Rags, a 5-0 thrashing, and I still took to City simply due to the absurdity of the delirium and spirit of City fans! FTW.

My Dad felt that he'd put up with this shit for 40 years and didn't see why I should get away with it.

cos we are pretty much better than all the other big teams but we get no respect, its great........

Simple answer, my Dad did.

Pretty much most of the things others have said in this thread. Also, City got me through long periods of estrangement from Manchester and England. In fact they continue to do that too.

That's put a smile on my face and brought back a fond memory. They faded really quickly iirc

1976: I loved the Umbro-top. 1977: When I visited Maine Road for the first time I fell in love with the Kippax.
From than on it only went worse ...

And looking back, even before 1-9-2008, I would not have wanted it any other way. The last few years are just a bonus.

I had always been a fan of the team since college. Since a guy I knew was from Manchester whi was a fan.
The I watching the late Fox Soccer channel and footage of the a match showed City fans throwing
their kits at players on the pitch because of the player's lack of effort. Had never seen fans with enough
balls to do that! I immediately fell in love!
