Would like to get a count of fellow Yanks

Georgia, originally from CT, so I'm not infected with the podunk Southern drawl.

Been a City enthusiast (I stop short of calling myself a fan since I'm big on that "real fan" thing) since 2007. Beasley and Reyna's involvement played a huge factor in my enthusiasm for this club. I am a D.C. United (vamos Barra Brava) and CS Emelec (on account of my Ecuadorian heritage) fan. Looking every month for tickets to Manchester so that I can experience my first game at Eastlands, but alas the prices are murderous to my budget. One day...
 
I'm in Detrout, Michigan. Born and raised in Motown. The epicenter of Rock 'n' Roll in America. I believe in my soul that there are TONS of similarities between Manchester and Detroit. I'm a professional brewmaster, so on matchdays the pints I drain are usually mine.

Been a Blue since 1996/1997 season. Like most Americans, I suffered for years with poor coverage and little to see regarding matches besides reports and photos. Nowadays it is so much easier.

Great morning today! Woke up to a nice snowstorm and watched the 7:45 AM kickoff!

Wythenshawe born and bred, as is my wife ... then we had five years in Cheadle Hulme ... moved here to Huntington Beach, California, in 1989. My twin lads were born in Wythenshawe hospital in 1987. All four of us were sat round our TV from 4.45 am today, draped in various bits of "lucky" City regalia and loving every minute of it.

When we first moved out here we had to rely on the Sunday LA Times for the scores or phone a relative ... after a year or two, I found a club that showed a closed circuit feed so I used to drive 20 miles to the British Dominion Club in Garden Grove at the crack of dawn to catch a live game. The advent of the internet meant I could read results on the web and then came Fox Sports and great football coverage. These days, I rarely have to track down a hooky web feed of any game, in any competition, and am now the King of armchair blues.

My gran used to go to Hyde Road with her dad when she was a nipper before the First World War. My grandad worked on construction of Maine Road when he was a young bloke. I started going to Maine Road on my own when I was 10. Lied about my age when I was 14 and blagged a job selling On The Ball tickets inside the ground. In the 1980s I had my own series in the City programme for a couple of years (I'm a cartoonist and illustrator) which paid buttons but was one of my proudest professional achievements.

Love this club and the joy it has brought me all my life. CTID!!!
 
We met three air hostesses from Seattle in the Hofbrauhaus in Munich. They all went home understanding that Ryan Giggs is illegitimate, the whole Yaya dance, and that Pablo Zabaleta "is the fucking man".

Does that count?
