Cities with 2 football clubs greater local support?

[tali1]

Cities with 2 football clubs which one has the greater local support?.Is it true that majority of Manchester is City and not United?
What about Liverpool/Everton which is more blue or red?
Also Birmingham /Villa
Add in any other 2 club cities(don't know how London pans out with its various clubs) you know and which has greater support

Being from Merseyside & altho Everton supporters will tell u different, there are more Liverpool fans than Everton, alth at the moment they are all crawling out of the woodwork & the tops have made their way out from the back of the wardrobe (covered in moths). Nothing but glory hunters, that cant even fill their wooden hut & have to try & sell the tickets over the radio lol.

Don't Everton still have a chance of winning a major trophy this season?

Manchester.

Contrary to what City fans claim, there is equal support for both teams locally. United do have fans (season ticket holders) from outside the City, but then Old Trafford has 30,000 more seats than Eastlands. There will be more people in Old Trafford from Greater Manchester for each home game than in Eastlands.

Since the Premiership started, United have been the more successful of the two clubs, and claim 1,000,000 fans worldwide with a large fan base in the far east.

After another dismal season, the shops are practically giving away City shirts.

Despite having 30,000 less seats to sell, City have trouble selling seats. They have more than 10 times more empty seats per match than United.

MiddleEastlands has a capacity of 47,726

Average attendance 2007�08 42,077 (5,649 empty seats)
Average attendance 2006�07 39,997 (7,726 empty seats)

OT has a capacity of 76,212

Average attendance 2007�08 75,691 (521 empty seats)
Average attendance 2006�07 75,826 (386 empty seats)

Meanwhile, expansion of OT to 95,000 is planned.

Edinburgh
Hibs � Hearts : very close. but probably Hearts have a slightly bigger support.

Dundee
Dundee � Dundee United : Dundee United probably have the bigger support.

Falkirk
Falkirk � East Stirling : Falkirk easily as East Stirling are one of the smallest supported clubs in Scotland

My mate is a blue, and I go to 3 or 4 City home matches each year when his son goes on holiday. I also watch all of City's matches on TV. He watches the United matches.

I watched the Derby in a pub and can honestly say the support was 50-50.

My perfect season would have United top and City second. I genuinely hope City get the Uefa cup place then Mourinho will probably come. Playing in Europe is the key to attracting the best players.

My understanding is that Manchester is .strongly .....a blue city and not a red one

[cazzz1975]
