sumrit Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I grew up in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex but spent most of my adult life living in Shropshire before moving to Thailand. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 i'm a liverpool fan and am from about fifteen miles outside of the city. haven't lived there for about twelve years though.and i've been to old trafford more times than james has. Stevie 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.

mrbojangles Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

technocracy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastSaxCol Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) 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.
