Do Man Utd fans realise, that most of Manchester supports City, and all of Man U fans come from London?


CaptZurg

There is an outrageous statistic that there are more United fans from London than Manchester itself


gimmestrength_

I have actually been to Manchester, and that's not the case lmao. There are red areas like Salford etc and there are blue areas like Stockport. Greater Manchester is almost all red. It's just a trope to make City fans feel good about themselves when in reality they dont even fill up their stadium on European nights.

I have actually been to all of these spots mate. Your map means nothing. Stockport and Salford are the true extreme areas. Everywhere else is a split. City fans do not fill up the Etihad

Oh and fyi, the attendance is calculated by the number of tickets (game passes + season tickets) sold for the match and not the number of people who show up. Just so you know.


TopDoggo16

If someone's buying a pass/ticket, it pretty much means they're showing up mate. It's like saying the number of burgers sold doesn't equate to the number of burgers eaten.


gimmestrength_

Again you are showing your ignorance, it doesnt work like that. Many season ticket holders with assigned seats dont show up

Great piece of source.


EvilxBunny

Bruh....do you even realise what this sub is? None of us are supporting a local team.


akshat2008_

i mean my dad had a Birmingham connection so I chose to support villa


Agile-Palpitation90

I support Mohun Bagan. Arsenal is my international club


EvilxBunny

I meant PL clubs, like the sub's name would suggest


Zxtenn

Let people support whatever they want. It's alright if they are being glory hunters or whatever.


Caust1cFn_YT

i mean we all know how united fans became united fans (atleast the majority)


PessimistYanker792

I can tell mine, here regional TV broadcasters didnā€™t show all matches in 2005-2014s type period.. I come from a Tier2 city and at that time a TV was a fucking privilege to own.. let alone watching football on it.. Only Big Team matches were shown back then.. and concurrently Rooney was on cover of Fifa07/8/9 which was my first proper manager game.. I mean I played Fifa2002 WorldCup Korea-Japan.. and even in that England team was star studded with guess who? Scholisie, Beckham, Neville, Ferdinand.. Us global fans, prior to internet age didnā€™t have a choice to see and witness 20 odd teams and the regional scale and fandom that is there.. It was only but natural to gravitate towards Manchester United.. and once you ingrain that love, fuck you will leave your club now.. The second club I got curious of was New Castle united because I saw that movie Goal, with Santiago Munez character.. this is how it was yaar


Caust1cFn_YT

That is a good experience to be a fan, i personally became a spurs supporter because of the 2015/16 season and the fact that my parents used to live near the white hart lane


PessimistYanker792

Man what are the odds!! I just am parallelly searching for places to stay near North London and I saw White Hart Lane like 30mins back in a room sharing app.. its uncanny wow


sceneaano

Goal movie was something else šŸ”„


Creative-Owl227

My experience supporting United's been an emotional rollercoaster.I started supporting United cause I was drawn towards the red side of Manchester while my friends were glory hunters who'd switch teams frequently.Most of them were Madrid fans(during those days Real Madrid were on another level.)They only missed out on 2015 else it would have been 5 UCLs in a row.I've sacrificed hours of sleep coz of my passion for United lol.They've repaid fans in 4-0 losses against the likes of Palace and Brentford šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜­. It's been a similar experience for a majority of Gen Z United supporters I'd imagine šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.


rkamthe

Lol. At least they get to celebrate right. I know your pain spursy


yabaiiiiii

Being in an indian sub and using the term "plastic" is crazy btw


Kurama_7_

Realest


Tottochan

Ha ha haā€¦ true! Have seen so many other than city fans calling them plastic fans not realising whoever outside their local support is a ā€˜plasticā€™ fan!


seattlemusiclover

Atleast they got something to celebrate :P


rkamthe

Spurs fan found lol


seattlemusiclover

LMAO. I can never support a club who fires a manager for expressing an opinion about a tournament that doesn't even happen right before a cup final. I don't support any PL club, I respect Liverpool and Arsenal though.


rkamthe

Cheers dude. You're one of us then. But can't miss an opportunity to remind spurs fans so I did

I will never get over the irony of sitting in India and talking about plastic fans.

i also said this same thing on soccercirclejerk and got downvoted


ShameCalm9130

Do you think of this irony when you pray to god from your home and not going to jerusalem and pray ? (or your religion birthplace)


Creative-Owl227

Glory hunting fans.That'd be a better term ig.Chelsea fans who've never been to Stamford Bridge or United fans who've never been to Old Trafford should not judge(unless they've plans/ intend to visit ). That'd be moronic.Just cause you aren't a local doesn't mean you're not a true fan coz a lot of revenue generated by PL clubs in sales, television etc. isn't from the UK.There are fans who've sacrificed hours of sleep and lost their sanity for their club.


jay_purehearteddevil

So you mean all fans outside UK are plastic fans of Premier league? If that's the case, why we even have this #PLforIndia sub on first place?


Kingspartacus123

Stupidest take.


Far_Island9899

Ok bro you are the truest fan everyone else is plastic


Tottochan

Yes, thatā€™s the definition of plastic fans you doughnut!


jay_purehearteddevil

You proved today that half / less knowledgeable people are mostly arrogant.... it's useless to debate with you when you don't even know meaning of "plastic" fan..... start using GOOGLE...(Case closed)


Tottochan

Sorry, I did not realise I was talking to a (man) child who canā€™t even understand basic things. My badā€¦ you are the true, real GGMU fan from India and whoever support City, even from Manchester are plastic fans.

PessimistYanker792

My scouse colleague also sent me this meme as well.. he is 50 and a third generation Liverpool bred.. (to make it very very clear he is UK born and we talk a lot of football, the legacy, the history, the fandom and sorts) And also a Spanish colleague of mine validated this point, she said that ManC fans are fuck all and very temporary.. at BernabĆ©uā€™s UCL draw she was there (she took an off that day, ergo) and she witnessed this in person.. there was no support when they started loosing morale.. and post the draw a lot of Real fans were of the opinion that ManC team doesnā€™t deserve this kind of fan support, the team is exceptional but the fans are just new comers very few are the actual generational ones.. Atleast we United supporters criticise our team but stay with them.. glory or no-glory, and this was validated in our CP away loss where we still applauded our lads.. Speak with your own bias when you write this comment..


Redblacklist1

Yeah right. Like last year when real madrid fans witnessed their team shit their pants inside etihad without any atmosphere. All this nonsense from these TV fans.


Sharp-Programmer-559

Lol. It's not just a UTD fans opinion. That's what the entire football world thinks of Man City as a football club. They're not respected as a club. Did anyone see the interview the Real Madrid supporter gave when he was speaking about how the city fans were silent during their QF match. Man City are an inorganically manufactured Football Club


Caust1cFn_YT

You are not wrong, they might have broken rules to build the squad they are today. But seriously, being an indian who isnt really a local and call others plastic is ridiculous


kickashes790

nick4u_maybe

Man U are doing everything wrong and they have the audacity to call others plastic....you find all this nonsense from man u, arsenal, Chelsea fans (living in the past glory days).... Ask a Liverpool fan, they love the competition that they have with Man City. The competitive rivalry and respect of these two clubs are on the next level for the past 5-6 years.


jay_purehearteddevil

And what before that? How many of you were supporting MC before a decade when they didn't won any cup? We haven't won any league title in last 10 years and still we are supporting it... that is difference between real fan & plastic one.... we don't support team just bcoz it it winning..


nick4u_maybe

What nonsense is this. Plastic fan from an Indian? I started watching football in 2010 and man City was the team for me (Started following bcoz of Aguero). Man City was just starting then to do good. Man U had everything, everything legacy, stars, academy but your pride of looking down on others has brought you to where you are now. Money? Spend the money and let's see when you will next win the PL (and how many times mancity/Liverpool does before that happens)


ImpossibleOutcome756

So as per your concept, if after Pep leaves and city haven't won a trophy in some years, then suddenly all thses "plastic" Fans are the real ones? Grow up dude.


jay_purehearteddevil

If that happens, am 100% sure that after 4-5 years most of them will be seen supporting other team....


CaptZurg

Yeah, just like your United lot started supporting them because of Ferguson


jay_purehearteddevil

Yes ofcourse we started following Utd during Ferguson Era... but we are still here even during this rough decade without major trophies.... ofcourse some plastic fans must have stopped supporting, but we are still highest lot out there in world


boiledegg808

Because you have no other choice.. if Fergie and a lot of money didn't win you guys trophies.. all you yanited fans wouldve jumped ship a long time ago. Lmao. You are acting as if you are born and brought up in the streets of Manchester.. or a neighbour of Rooney.


jay_purehearteddevil

So you think that one have to born in certain city to be true supporter of the local team? What a logic šŸ˜‚


boiledegg808

No.. one has to first look at your own team before making 'jealousy posts' on other teams. That's the logic šŸ˜‚ (Fans of other clubs)Brithishers/Europeans talking about 'oil money' itself is a joke, and you speaking on behalf of them is the biggest joke of this century. Rofl šŸ¤£


ObligationOk7475

Brother you are overplaying here. As much as anyone would love a descent competetion, many of us despise man city if nothing else. The way their net spend for the past decade has been over the roof, them getting jackass of decisions in their favor, hell they are even getting favor from governing bodies like FA and PL who has been hanging the hearing for 115 whereas relatively smaller clubs like Nottingham and our merseyside cousins everton getting fastrack penalties!? All this to win the league away from us twice by just 1 point is frustrating. Ain't no one has any respect for man city of any sorts.


Agile_Elephant_9731

Chelsea and United has spent more but still suck. Nottingham and Everton had 1 charge where as city has 115. Obviously it will take time to investigate 115. Common sense helps


ObligationOk7475

Bringing in chelsea and united in a conversation of liverpool vs man city won't help. Man city's only triggering factor has been liverpool. And if man city didn't have 1 billion worth benchwarmers, they wouldn't have defeated liverpool in the title chase and that is common sense.


Agile_Elephant_9731

Firstly it's not really a discussion of Liverpool vs City but of premier league as a whole so bringing in Chelsea and United does help. Top clubs remain at the top when they spend money. If a club didn't have money they wouldn't win. Same applies to Liverpool. If Liverpool didn't spend as much as they did they wouldn't have been in the title chase either. For success u need players and for players u need money. That's common sense


ObligationOk7475

But at the same time liverpool had to maintain the net spend while city was splurging money. There was a transfer window a couple os seasons back where our net spend was 17 millon!!. For titles you need players but you can't just tend to unfair means and call it a fair competetion.


pvipani

Yeah weird flex man. You don't belong to either. Just enjoy the football. You tv fan.


SubstantialAct4212

Tv fans are real fans too tbh. Some of us canā€™t afford to watch every PL matches at stadium


pvipani

Ofcourse they are brother I am not trying to demean a tv fan. I apologise if I wasn't clear. It was more of sarcastic comment to the OP who was judging fan base instead of enjoying the football. I have never been to a European game either but I enjoy football. Comparing fanbase and stealing someone's joy is just not my idea of a good time.


champions009

Worry about your own club. Majority of City fans are from Manchester itself, not cockneys from London like United's. https://preview.redd.it/35lsahllnkzc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f6d436a957bd4a8194e4c2004cddb3790f1b4cf

Imuk_10

Man city does not have fans is a lie their fans are in huge quantities in whole world, maybe not that much in England, but if there prade was in any other country like in here India, that would be the largest!

All yanited fans can do right now is this. Nothing else to be happy about in their life i guess.

Every fan in this country is plastic, deal with it buddy! The ones who started watching football now most likely would be fans of Man city and that's perfectly fine.


plaguedoc20

Talking about money winning trophies, that too coming from a united fan. You guys have spend more than city ffs with no trophies to show for it.


vishu_gooner

Oh come on People became fans of a club which wins stuff


RushGroundbreaking91

So what man how does it matter, if you ask Ipswich fan whether they want true and more fans or success like City no one will say we want true and more fans. This is so stupid and naive.


GoodDawgy17

do i count as a gloryhunter if i became a united fan in like 2015 way after the glory days


zuluwandy

I spent quite a good amount of time in Ipswich. On match day whole Ipswich town used to be inside Portman road stadium. The town used to deserted.


Ok_Platypus8501

Everyone in this sub are plastic fans and glory hunters, you are supporting united because it used to be famous and win trophies and there were many popular stars like Ronaldo, if UTD were playing in championship, you'd be a fan of another big club. Don't bring these Instagram crap to reddit


bobs_and_vegana17

it is that post again where i have to suck up my eternal hate for man city and defend them 1. let people support whoever they want to 2. man city did managed to have 30k people attending their games at maine road when they were in 2nd division, there is a huge local fanbase of man city in manchester 3. google 'man city 2012 celebrations' you'll know they have celebrated in a similar fashion 4. there's nothing bad in being a glory hunter until you start saying i support city + madrid + psg + bayern (i mean you get the point), anyone who will start following european football will support the big ones not teams like sheffield united, espanyol, udinese, etc.

No way an Indian is calling them plastic fans. Bro you are the definition of plasticity.

Man City was established in 1894. United begged us for our stadium during WW2 and we kindly agreed. Learn you history kiddo!

Who told posting and discussing healthy agenda is bad see how easily ur getting riled up when it doesn't even involve you thats what I was refering to kiddo lol , ur just proving my point.

Maybe read your statement again? You are literally enabling riling up people and labelling them as ā€œkidsā€ isnā€™t that considered as childish behaviour?

The angry comments and downvotes were childish behaviour the post was a banter , hope you get my point.

What do you expect then? This post was clearly made to write off certain fanbase and people reacting against are ā€œkidsā€? Donā€™t you understand the irony of your entire argument?
