GboroRam Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Again you have been reading too many papers the vast majority of people in Manchester support United not City and that is fact not myth. Source for this "fact"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianm Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Source for this "fact"? Plenty of surveys have been done on this and they all give the same conclusion plus I have lived there and for sure there are a lot more Reds than Blues in Manchester probably about 4:1 would be the likely ratio. Just as there are far more people in Liverpool support Liverpool than Everton, although the majority is not as overwhelming as in Manchester.

Well people on here obviously do or they wouldn't be posting childish names or peddling **** about most United fans coming from London. My job on here is to inform and educate because for every one that comes on and posts garbage there will be plenty more who read and learn.

I'll give you some evidence then have a guess when City last had an average gate better than United. 1939. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asanovic Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'll give you some evidence then have a guess when City last had an average gate better than United. 1939. When have City had a stadium that can hold as many as United? Probably 1939. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianm Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 When have City had a stadium that can hold as many as United? Probably 1939. Look at your history after the war when Old Trafford was obliterated with German bombs United and City shared Maine Road for many years and United always got the higher gates.

ianm Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 or maybe a Derby fan who lived and worked in Manchester and new loads more city fans than United fans Davenport is Stockport mate and Stockport especially the middle-class parts is a City stronghold like most of Cheshire. I lived and worked in Manchester and I have relatives all over Manchester not Stockport and the overwhelming majority support United especially North of the City Centre. If United and City play at the same time go into any pub and see which match is shown it's United every time. The areas around City's new ground are massively United, surprisingly you will find more City fans near United's ground in Chorlton and Stretford.

davenportram Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hardly surprising that pubs show united if they are playing at the same time. Only one is broadcast at a time on Sky (unless it's a derby) and seeing as Sky love united it'll always be them. Nothing to do with how many united fans are in Manchester and pubs satisfying the demand (null) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City are in their own right a very well supported club but no matter how well they do they will always be a very distant number 2 in their own town.

davenportram Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Technically you didn't need to capitalise the city at the end of the first paragraph, unless you are changing allegiances in the face if no facts to back up your argument.

You are now just making stuff up, manure just shade the number of fans maybe, but there are no surveys that show a 4-1 if so please do show. Also is you were looking at fans who actually went to the game ie season ticket holders, you would see that city have a higher percentage from the centre of Manchester as opposed to manure who the majority of fans are glory hunters and never been to old Trafford. Q: Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, a Manchester United Fan from Manchester, and an old drunk are walking down the street together when they simultaneously spot a £50 note. Who gets it ? A: The old drunk, of course; the other three are mythical creatures. Q: What has Old Trafford on a Saturday afternoon at 4.45pm got in common with Wormwood Scrubs? A: They are both full of cockneys trying to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
