I was brought up to be a red as all my family support united. All this drivel from city fans saying Manchester is blue are deluded, there are simply many many more united fans. If city had so many more fans then why dont they fill their own stadium? They filled it on derby day so why not all the other games? Part time supporters if you ask me

They filled it on Derby day cause there was loads of reds in the home ends. Happens all the time, as I expect 1000+ Leeds fans to be in the Oldham end tonight.
Manchester as a City is blue. Im not saying they have more fans etc but the city is blue. Salford is red

The clue is in the name Manchester City and Manchester United 
p.s. I live 70+ miles away from Oldham now so your Spindles theory has been blown out of the water

Thought Manchester United was formed from Failsworth football club. in 18??.
And pretty sure Failsworth is a suburb of Manchester...
City now play in a stadium that was built over Bradford pit.But back in the 60-70's it was less of a hole.

City now play in a stadium called The City of Manchester Stadium (funnily enough just down the road from Newton Heath closer to the city centre
) owned by the council. Making that more of the cities club than United

Well, I just got back from OT, I asked the people around me in Stretford end t2 where they were from, all but one (I asked 8 people) were from Manchester with only one coming from outside and he was only from Middleton. Don't think that makes much of a difference but I don't really care. After 27 years supporting United and living in Manchester, I know the truth. 
PS
United were formed in Newton Heath in 1878. Newton Heath is about 1/2 a mile from where I live now and ironically even less than that distance from the new Boo Camp. City were formed in 1887 just round the corner in Ardwick.
The Boo Camp was very nearly rolled into Tameside a couple of years ago as Openshaw and part of Clayton are now classed as Tameside, does that make them any less Mancunian? I think not. Despite that lots of ABU losers will say that because OT is in Trafford that makes them less Mancunian... despite the fact that Trafford is a borough of Manchester.
The whole Salford Reds thing just doesn't wash any more either, Salford is a city within Greater Manchester as listed officially by the post office and Trafford isn't even in Salford, it's in Manchester.
Anyone who wants to argue this fact needs to look at the London clubs. There are no football clubs within the City of London itself, there are only clubs in the London boroughs, but would anybody question whether Arsenal, Chelsea or Fulham were in London? Again, as far as I know, Anfield and Everton are boroughs of Liverpool in the same way as Trafford is Manchester, but does anyone question whether these clubs are bin dipping scouse clubs?

Hardly a fair comparison. City of London is merely a district where the financial area is, and tiny.

Well the City of Manchester is pretty much the same, Manchester is a large urban conurbation in the same way as London is, ie it comprises of a small city centre with lots of sattelite towns making up Greater Manchester. Pretty much the same as Greater London albeit on a much smaller scale.

Thats why they are named after the boroughs of London, and not called London United or City!

united will get more support because they are so big and successfull ,how many armchair supporters do united have, and everyone wants tobe following a team that wins everything
it the same in liverpool
everton are know as the most supported club but not the biggest, they reckon a true liverpool player is an everton supporter
i bet chelsea's support has doubled since the money was thrown at it and they've won a few things, plus always in the news

It's a bull**** argument that someone brought up one day becasue they had no better retort in a City v Utd argument and it's stuck, it always makes me smile though
