I've been a Man Utd supporter since 6th Feb 1958 when I was seven years old, and yes I have been to Old

Trafford many times.

i'm a liverpool fan and am from about fifteen miles outside of the city. haven't lived there for about twelve years though.

15 miles out of L'Pool puts you in one of the following areas, Chester, Southport or Warrington.

Or St. Helens, Runcorn, Widnes, Haydock, Newton-le-Willows and at a push, Wigan.

Mr BJ (I assume you have to be from the eastlands)

No james. When i was born we were playing at Maine Road

As for me. Born about 5 miles outside Manchester. My dad was a lifelong City supporter and took me to my first game at 6 months old. I tried to resist but resistence was futile, so I've supported them ever since.

Moved to Rochdale several years later and so they are the team I have a big affection for.

I have also been to shed loads of derby games and Internationals at Old Trafford but am proud to say, I've never paid to get in that dump of a sh1thole, once

Now give us your full story james

Covered this many times before Mr. BJ, born in CAN, farther's family from Blackpool, mother's from Belfast. Became a UTD fan in 1993 I guess on a trip here (first exposure to the game in great quantities).

Interesting to see you tried to resist your old man's love of City - don't blame you - and don't worry, it's never too late to come over from the dark side.

Zero there Toady - however your constant needling makes me wonder though - does it make you feel insecure that I know so much about the game having never been to one in the UK?

Feeling a little defensive today James? I think If I look back on what you call constant, I have probably poked fun at you on this subject about 4 times. Probably no more, or less than a few other posters.

What? It was only recently you thought they kicked a Puk around

You would think that on my B-Day a fellow UTD supporter would give it a rest, but then again knowing Mr. Toady, the pub hasn't opened up yet and he is off a bit because he can't figure out how to get there when it opens - sans umbrella -that he forgot in the taxi last night.

James, I'm already in work, and thankfully I didn't forget my umbrella last night, so arrived nice and dry.

Migsy, what did you do wrong in your past life to make a supporter of Arsenal in this one?

So you keep saying, but no. Our office is very close though.

Born in the neck-end Stoke-on-trent . . . hence support Stoke . . . simple ain't it!

When I was 18 or so lived in Penkhull for about 5 years - just 10 or so minutes walk from the old Victoria Ground - I could leave my house at 2.45 and be on the Boothen End for kick off!

However after those 5 years lived all over the place from Manchester, London, Rome, Amsterdam etc making it not quite so easy to attend!

Born in Willington Quay, Wallsend, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

fuc_k The Mags!

Born & Bred East London, Born in Whitechapel actually making me a Cockney through & thorugh, brought up in Stratford, Plaistow & Canning Town/Custom House.

Liverpool, from New York.

Born and bred in Romford , Essex. Six miles from Upton Park and a strong West Ham catchment area. West Ham was an Essex side up until they changed the electoral boundaries in 1967 don't you know.

Now live half my life in Clacton-On-Sea, Essex (the other half in the LOS) so go and watch my local team , Colchester,sometimes now.

Brought up at a time when there was a visible West Ham/Celtic connection. So Celtic are my Scottish team.

Ever since I had taken an interest in the history of the Spanish Civil War - way back - I gained a soft spot for FC Barcelona. Still have.

That's about it.

Edit. To put a missing 'e' in Colchester.

For those unaware of who their local/nearest team may be/has been (the OP?) it can be found HERE.
