  • What makes you support Man United ?

    A Yahoo! User

    Since there are many threads where posters are being accused of glory seeking, I thought I should post a new thread to discuss this topic, to find why some people support Man United, is it the recent achievements of Man United that makes you become a united supporter or a long forgotten Great Grandma that you recently discover resided near Old Trafford that tips you over the edge to become a supporter too?

    What are yours?

      I was brought up about 2 miles from OT. I lived on Ayres Rd, just on the other side of Old Trafford train station. Both parents were reds, grandparents were reds, in fact my entire family were (and still are) reds. My cousin used to take me to all the games when I was younger and I started going on my own from about '85 or '86.

      The lad next door threatened to punch my lights out if I dared support City. I cant put into words how much I owe that boy.

        Born into it. My Grandfather came to Manchester in the 60's and settled in Salford. He worked on the docks and told me how in the canteen everywhere there were pictures of the Busby Babes who had died in the Munich air disaster and how the other workers told him how great that side was. He became a supporter and made sure my Dad followed suit when he was born and my Dad made sure I never made the mistake of trying to support Citeh. My Dad took me to my first game in 1984. Robbo became my hero and I've supported the Red Devils ever since.

      I grew up in south east england, and became a United fan after watching George Best put on one of his usual dazzling displays of football.
      Although i have been a life long United fan, i stopped following football for a number of yrs when my family moved to Canada in 75 and i discoverd that football coverage here was non existant, other than the world cup...
      Today, with better TV coverage, and easy access to all sports via the internet, i am once again able to follow the team i grew up watching...

      Just for the record...I have never been to Manchester, or seen United play live, but it is on my list of things to do should i make it back to england one day........
