I guess its only perceived that United have lesser fans
than City in Manchester is because they do have more fans globally
than City... A lot more actually...
It is always easy for non-United fans or anti-United groups or
better still, City fans to make such a simplistic statement
but if anyone care to take a little time to think with logic, the
truth and fact of the matter will come to light very fast...
Perhaps it it true that 80% or more of City's fans are from
Manchester alone... and maybe only 20% of United's fans are in
Manchester... But we have to remember we are dealing in percentage
and not straight numbers to numbers...
The truth is, every week United have a sell out crowd to their
76,000 stadium while City struggle to fill their
48,000 City of Manchester Stadium... So where does this whole 76
thousand people come from? Outside Manchester? Every week?
Cos a lot of United's fans who goes to OT are also season
ticket holders...
So, like I said... Perhaps it is true 80 or maybe 90 percent of
City's fans are from Manchester... And United, if we take into
consideration the millions of fans around the world they have
in different continents, it is only logical that they have
more fans around the world than Manchester itself... But that
little percentage of 20% or maybe lesser than 10%, could still
be a lot more than City's precious little
of 90%...
So i guess it is true that United are more famous globally...
And it is also sensible to say they have more fans worldwide
compared to locally in England... But we should not be
mistaken that those little percentage doesn't necessary
mean they have lesser supporters in Manchester... it could just
means they have more fans around the world thats all...
