Like you meet people everywhere in England, down your local pub! That aside, join special interest groups, the internet, etc I guess. The Manchester resients are generally quite easy going.

I would imagine I should probably find out if the intended friend is a Red or Blue Mancunian before divulging my specific loyalties.

Don't worry about that Jonathan..if they live in Manchester, they are blues..if not, they are traitors!! Well..seeing as Man Utd is not actually located in Manchester. Well..not to worry really, Mancunians are generally speaking quite pleasant creatures to get on with.

what do you mean please?

us Mancunians are an interesting bunch........we are quite nosey and like to know about聽 "foreigners", and a majority are true football fanatics - not all though. We tend to talk to anyone and will regularly start conversations with complete strangers (example), and will help anyone we meet if we can. We are a close-knit breed, and are fairly tough skinned - but always have a smile.
