like the title says . has supporting city ruined your relationships.

its ruined 3 of mine but city always come 1 st

no1 me and x got together when i was 19 .i was already a season ticket holder she couldnt understand it but i converted her ( and she still goes to city these days ) we bought a house tryed the happy couple thing but i was always on piss at weekened s home and away watching city .. so that one went pear shaped .
no 2 . she had no interest in footy ( again i was always on piss at weekends at city ) but she had my kid ( who is city mad )
n03 again no interest in city ( all her family were rags ) yes it ended years ago


so these days on my jack jones but city always comes 1 st and on the plus side my lad ( see no 2 ) lives with me and we go all over country watchin city . and i would not have it any other way .

Nope. it has helped us stay together for 20 years and counting.

She always liked football but used to be a football widow, until she asked if she could come to a match with me.

Since then we went to Wembley to see Dickov score the most important goal in the club's history, got married at Maine Road, travelled to our first European away game together, flew back from holiday so we could attend the FA Cup final and then cried together when Aguero scored that goal.

I am a lucky bastard.

not sure about ruined but certainly strained a lot of relationships.

used to go out with a girl who was a season ticket holder at the swamp. it was paid for by her old man, i was just a stupid kid at the time, but he should have known better. he always saw me as some cocky little Citeh upstart defiling his daughter. I saw him as the moustache wearing, tory loving, rag cunt that he was. a combination of too much beer and a big mouth to begin with saw him grabbing me by the throat one night and just like that a 3 year relationship was up in smoke.

a combination of a bad city result and too much beer, one usually follows the other, makes me a difficult individual to be around at times. i've fallen out with people over it and ended friendships. The last 6 weeks of last season made my local a very difficult place to go. Actually through no fault of my own, just being a blue in an 'irish' pub means I have a target on my back with some wannabe mibs

You truly are. I would love to discuss the pros and cons of Balotelli with my wife. Do you discuss football and if so, do you usually agree or disagree? Have you told her she should join the party on this site? Would you so corrupt as to make her a Legend for being your wife?

I also think that going home and away every week in Hughes first season in charge, and us only winning 2 aways, got me 'invited to leave' a house share i was staying in.

Ha ha, she used to post on here many years ago but it just lead to us talking about nothing but City. [strike]So I banned her[/strike]

We discuss all things City on a very regular basis and she makes a lot more sense than most of my male City supporting mates - and 99% of people on here ;-)

I am envious, I truly am. At the same time not so much, because I like that the time i spend supporting City is MY time, but I am more jealous than I am not. The thing is I think I could have turned me wife but then the Sheik came and my wife was turned off by the entire thing. I can understand her I suppose, there's definitely is too much money in the game as it is, but I was hooked before that so I couldn't get out, so to speak.

OT... It used to have a negative effect on my relationship. I'm quite moody and a loss or draw could turn my mood sour for several days. My wife confronted me on the matter and since then I've had to take a much more buddhist approach to the entire thing. I allow myself one, two hours tops to feel angry and bitter, then I move on. You can't win them all and if we did, I'd probably stop caring. That mentality is a hell of a lot easier to maintain nowadays because we win so many games though...

"I can't believe you would rather go and watch City play York than come to the Trafford Centre with me"
"Listen flower, I'd rather go and watch Rochdale play York than go to the Trafford Centre with you"
Game over after four years. :-)

I too am one of the lucky ones

I've been with the other half six years now, she is as big a blue as I am. We both come from massive blue families both (which is a blessing in itself) have had season tickets since (the old) second division both went to Wembley in said campaign and now have a seasons tickets together in the family stand as we bring through the next generation of fan in the form of my 2 years and 10 week old sons

Brilliant!

Following city all my life has never got in the way of any relationships . Lucky for me my passion for city will become even greater (if that is possible) as i am about to be divorced from one fuckin mad cow ! ;)

I tend not to talk too much City with my good lady but she is a member if our Supporters Branch, she does go to all the games I go to, she wears her colours when we go to matches and she puts up with me getting bolloxed on the odd occasion we win :-)

All in all I'm a lucky bloke and many have said as much!

Edit: She also allowed me to watch the whole of the Ryder Cup in a bar in Tenerife, intends to go to Australia for the Ashes on our joint 50th/60th Birthdays and loves and puts up with my kids......she's a good'un

yes on two occasions

One girl who I was with 1/2 years said to me "im sick of coming second best to man city" to which i replied "how do you think Stockport feel" that was that

more recently going through a rocky patch with my ex when City drew Omonia in Cyprus in eufa cup I booked the trip if you go things will never be the same I went to come home to my bags packed

Football and Women do not normally mix nice one to those who can balance it

My mrs is a red from a massive red family, she understands how important football is to me and she uses the time to do shopping / cleaning / cooking etc with me out of the way.

I have only ever been in serious trouble once because of football, about 4 years ago I went to the Derby instead of a Christening.... Seriously, who plans a christening on Derby Day? I think she was more bothered because I chose to go to the Derby instead of be a Godfather?

Bit more than a good un if you ask me. A true star.

My mrs understands completely and accepts the way I am whereas my head office team shit themselves if we lose and even when we draw Im a borderline moody cunt.

Id never have a girlfriend as a rag no matter how good looking she was....Id shag her though.

I'm a lucky bar steward too. Mine is from a family of blues, although she was converted growing up and ended up 'supporting' Liverpool as her big brother decided to rebel and go off glory hunting in the 70's/80's. She didn't really care about football, so it was more in support of her brother's passion than anything else.

Got together 8 years ago and I managed to bring her back into the fold. Was tough at first as she wasn't really into it and that home run under Pearse didn't help! Fully converted now and strikes up City conversations as frequently as I do, luckily we agree on most things too. I still get moody and pissed off if things aren't right, far more than she does, but she leaves me to it and I adopt a similar Buddhist mentality as mentioned above. And yes, the winning helps with that!

I know she's into it now as watching Norwich she turned to me and said, 'I hate you for getting me into City, my nerves are all over the bloody place watching this'. Welcome to my world love, welcome ;-)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. I honestly don't know how people have Utd fans as partners. The very thought blows my mind!

Remember seeing a couple with a toddler at the airport. He had a rags top, her blues, toddler rags. I remember wondering how the fuck they got together, as I just couldn't imagine it.

Anyway, she then nipped off to the toilets and the toddler came back in a City top and they all had a good laugh.

It might be funny then, but that's all sorts of fucked up for that kid!

Nope. I have City and this site to thank for my relationship :). Me and Andy (MaineRoadMemories) have been together nearly 4 years now. We travel to games together but I sit with my family in the family stand and he sits in the south stand. We meet back up after the game and go home together. So yeah, cheers for being around 4 years ago mcf.net ;)
