Keep living in a dream world. There's nobody hating Manchester City here because of allegiances to other teams. They're hating Manchester City because of the 4-5 people who have reading comprehension problems and can't see that United, Liverpool, or anyone else have nothing to do with this. Nobody brings up anyone in England but those people. This is an MLS forum for an MLS club based in New York. This entire thread is based off the fact that the forum is overrun with United fans or something. I know of one, and he's the VP of our supporter group. Deal with it.
Mate, I think us Man City Fans are fine with you developing your own identity and embrace that. What has pissed us off is the anti city rhetoric that one thread in particular spouts.
I am fine with supporters or followers of other teams aligning themselves to your project. Many of these supporters (not all) will support your New York Club with pride. As I have said previously, I kept an eye out for Cosmos because of a very old connection. Now I have switched and want NYCFC to have the success in New York.
What pisses us off is the mods, moderation of City fans and there points of view on other threads. I couldnt find it earlier but have now... The thread that I link at the end of this post in particular is bollocks.
We have mods and others openly disrespecting the City connection, which at the end of the day is always going to be there. (And City fans have not said anything of note at the start of this thread)
Maybe the mods need to look at the policies. It is New York City, your club, your fanbase. Discuss New York City and ban mention / comparison to ALL other teams (especially non MLS).
Fine don't allow comparison with MCFC, but don't allow anti MCFC.
