Hey all, my name is Mitchell and I am a NYCFC supporter living in the American Southeast. I've been a life long New York sports fan, cheering for the Giants, Rangers, Knicks, and Yankees for as long as I can remember. I got into soccer during the build up tot he 2010 World Cup. It was then where I began to support Manchester City. I'm a huge fan of bands from Manchester such as the Happy Mondays, Joy Division/New Order, and the Smiths. Manchester United was probably the most popular team in the US then, so I thought it would be fun to be subversive at support City. I held off on cheering for theRed Bulls in MLS, because I didn't like the idea of the idea of the energy drink being the identity of the team. Not that I mind it in MLS, I just didn't think it was for me. However, I found it difficult to enjoy watching MLS without a rooting interest and I really wanted to support my domestic league. In the 2012 seasonI bit the bullet and spent a year cheering for NYRB, but when I heard that the Yankees and MCFC were going to be the owners of the 20th franchisee, I thought it was a sign from above, so I renounced my Red Bull fandom and have been following all the NYCFC Twitter accounts and Facebook pages in the build up. Even though I am a huge Manchester City fan, the most important thing for this club is to have its own identity. I hope we are able to draw in fans who support various European clubs. I hope people will see this as a team owned by City Football Group, not a team owned by Manchester City. Looking forward to getting to know you all and preaching the gospel of NYCFC down south.

Fight the good fight!
Where in the SE are you from? I actually lived down there for a couple years. Coastal South Carolina to be a little more exact.
I'm still a fan of RB, wear it with honor! They are the home team (for now) and they put on a good show. Although Henry's antic are starting to be a little much...the whole Cameraman Celebration came off a bit contrived.

einwindir, I'm from Mobile Alabama, about an hour away from the Gulf of Mexico. I understand still being a RB fan, I just stopped caring about them because I really didn't want to support them in the first place if you know what I mean. I have my MLS fantasy team to keep me invested until 2015.
