Well, I'm a 30 old indian chap and have supported City on and off since I was about 10, but I was born in Birmingham and grew up in Peterborough.
It all started when my mum met my step dad, he moved down from Orrell nr Wigan for work, he came from a family of blues.
At the time, I didn't do sports, I didn't even know what football was?! He taught me the game, got me playing and started taking me to Maine Rd. during all my time at secondary school we made regular visits to Maine Rd, I loved it, I have fond memories of the kippax... I can tell you know tho, there was not much fun being a city fan at school - I was the only one, as well as being the only Indian lad?! But, I got on with it and wore my purple away kit with pride, in fact I'd go to bed in it, Rosler was my fav player then Gio.
I go more regularly know, with my step dad, brother & sister who are all die hard blues...we drive up from peterborough regularly go to all the cup games, champions league home games and to as many league home games were possible, always starting in Mary D's for our fish and chips, pre match banter and drinks...
Where im from I always get stick for supporting City, as you can imagine... I get labeled this and that, I don't care. Im surrounded by armchair rag fuck wits, even my best friend, its tragic. I know what it's like to be a city fan before the money... That's where I came from.
It's a much happier time to be blue and im loving it.
Should I support my local team Peterborough Utd? Probably, but I've never supported any other team... I'm not about to change now, never.
CTID.
Thanks for reading...
