redkev Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Been to old Trafford quite a few times as company I work for get quite a few corporate tickets ( freebies with food & drink ) obviously it costs me a few quid travel up in car or train / hotel sometimes and a few quid to have a few beers early on in local pubs or central Manchester before I go into corporate , to mix with real fans and get a feel of the atmosphere and once corporate is finished usually about 7 again go into local pubs or central Manchester ( usually shit faced then start giving it the big un about city ( Bristol city ) perhaps because of the numbers and people travelling the amount of people around in pubs either local or central Manchester is unreal at 10-1100 o clock , not so much after still loads about though . Generally when I do go up the atmosphere in the pubs before and after is really good as for in the ground so so . and no I’ve never gone there above watching city , only paid once to go in that was a night game against Middlesbrough in the cup as I was working up there , but as for the original question just one team for me , you reds - weirdly though I do have a soft spot for Fulham just really like the boozers in that part of London and love the ground ( bucket list Fulham game this year to see what grounds like with new stand ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 No prem team or any of that nonsense for me - but a soft spot for Real Madrid. The list of teams I actively don’t like on the other hand. Loooooong list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for local non league teams to a point but it’s not anywhere near being a fan like I am with City. Hearing someone with a thick Bristol accent proclaiming their support for Liverpool/Chelsea/Man Utd is awful. I typically find I know more about ‘their’ clubs than they do! I feel genuinely sorry for people that don’t go regularly to live football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy across the road from me is a self proclaimed 'big Man City fan', he's never been to a live game, he doesn't even watch them on Sky/BT.. .. but he 'watches all their goals on his phone'.

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 A conversation I heard in Morrisons in Tavistock between two blokes with broad Devon accents one of whom was `Liverpool` and the other `Man Utd`: Liverpool one: `Your lot aren`t doing too well this season` Man Utd one: `I int bothering with them this year, they`m rubbish` I felt like chinning both of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I drank was many "Liverpool" fans in my old local who had never been and made no attempt to go. Far more time for a deluded fewer who goes, cares and puts up with the constant questions I'm sure we have all heard over the years, "But surely you have a premier league club as well!?!!?'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 I like Chelsea from working in London - I’d rather have viewed FA cup finals champions league matches through a City lens, but c’est la vie. I just love watching football and the best part is, it doesn’t really matter who you watch or how often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way a lot of 'top flight' supporters try and justify their support of a side they have never seen, make no attempt to see and in most cases, won't buy a membership for the chance to see that baffles me. The majority of those I drank with would buy fake shirts as well. Edited September 22, 2023 by Bristol Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a bit of grudging respect for those people that I used to see waiting on Broadway in Bridgwater for the coach to Manchester years ago but not the majority of the current `fans` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is what’s the point of sport if you’re not willing to gamble? I’d bet the house if we played them in the FA cup 3rd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
