Keep this civil and balanced!.
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

Bristol City and Rovers. When I lived there I always felt City had the greater support.

Forest have miles more support than County, but given the relative success over more recent decades past it's easy to see why IMO.

My experience in Liverpool seems to be that a a lot of Everton fans are from the city itself, whereas a lot of the Liverpool fans are from the surrounding area.

Same as Man Utd then

I'm from Birmingham and support the club that bears the city's name but to be fair, I'd say the majority of Birmingham is Villa ste. However, most of Birmingham's support is local.

In the case of man utd, surrounding area meaning anywhere in the world except manchester

I've met a number of man utd fans over the years, only one hailed from manchester.

I'm from Solihull, which is about 10 miles away from Bham town centre. The majority of people in Solihull support birmingham city, a few villa fans aswell. The rivalry is massive though.

Yeh, oh well it doesn't bother me. People who yap on about where you are from and your reasons for supporting a team take life to seriously.

I am - and I do.

And most of my mates are United fans. In fact, I'd say there are more United fans in Manchester than City fans.

Shefield United and Shefield Wednesday... Don't know which has more support, difficult to tell

[Norbury90]

I think its a close run thing in Liverpool... although there are certainly a lot of LFC fans from the Wirral (like me). Both tunnels are always super busy after a game.

And me.

City fans probably started this because technically Old Trafford is classed as Salford and not Manchester.

Wednesday..by a mile. Always has been, united's always picks up a bit when they flirt with the premiership and your sean bean types start waving their credentials but wednesday's core support stays pretty consistant

I agree, I think there are more united fans in manchester than city - it's just utd get slated because they have so many fans across the uk/globe... (hence have supporter groups in yorkshire/midlands/south). places like moss side/hulme/miles platting/ancoats etc.. are majority blue - but places like stockport/trafford and salford are red

I'm sure they did a survey a few years ago and it turned on ratio that city had more fans outside of manchester attending games than united.
