Unfortunately I am a dyed in the wool claret so I continue to watch hoof ball.
Quicker and cheaper for me to get to the Etihad from Radcliffe as well Vintage but I would never ditch going to Turf Moor. I do recall when I arrived in Manchester in the 1970s though Maine Road was only a short stroll from my lodgings so I would occasionally take in a match there. The likes of Bell, Lee, Summerbee and Marsh served up some entertaining stuff. But even in those days Burnley were the team I loved
