As I now live in Manchester, I thought that I would get myself a local team to follow for weekends I cannot get to West Ham games (9 local premiership clubs, so I will probably get to more of their games here than I did in London, but that is another story).  Be aware that this will only be a team to follow, as I already support West Ham and the Phoenix and don't have the heart for more disappointment.

There were a lot of options for me here, as there are tonnes of clubs in this area, but I have decided to go with..........
 
Bury.
 
The reasons for this is three fold:
 
1) I live on the north end of the city, so they are geographically close to where I live.  I have made up a completely untrue fact that their ground is actually the closest one to my front door.
 
2) Their kit is garbage.  I mean fall off your chair laughing garbage.
 
 
Half sky blue, half brown (chocolate, apparently).  You cannot help but fall in love with its ugliness.
 
3) They are sponsored by Bury City Council.  They cannot even get a real company to sponsor them - how sad is that.
 
So there you have it - you can keep you Uniteds with you theatres of wank, your Citys with you millions, your Oldhams with your "used to have a plastic pitch"s, your Boltons with your.......um.....just Bolton-ness and all you other sh*tty north-western clubs.  It's the shakers for me.
 
As a side note, they beat Radcliffe Borough 2-1 last night.
 
edit as photo wouldn't work for me, so put a link.  One of the big brains on here sort it out for me.

When I lived in the UK I had a mate called Steve from Bury.

He was the saddest man I ever met.

I think it was mostly to do with Bury FC.

Well. You can always buy yourself a Man City kit and spill chocolate milk down the side of half of it and well...never wash it.

Three for me, and two for them.

I am actually a bit shorter and a bit wider than that.  Take the birds nest off and it is almost an exact likeness of Piney.

Frankie, Show some class and go support Stockport County. My grandparents on my fathers side were from Stockport and County fans. Dont glory boat to City or United you'll destroy your reputation of looking out for the underdog.

Aah, Selcuk on Turkeys Aegean coast - very nice place to visit in the off season (mainly the surrounding countryside).

Some around greater manc land and beyond would argue with that as they are all speak a bit differently, Bolton, Burnley, Blackburn, wigan etc...
 
I knew Bury quite well and Salford, great place to knock about in in the 70's.

still no real news coming from the shakers at the moment, aside from 0-0 draw with Oldham in a pre-season game a few days ago.
 
How do I go about getting a special Bury section on here, like the Arse have got?  I am sure most people here are more interested in the goings on at Gigg Lane than what is happening in Little France, North London.

Sod the pros, give the non-leaguers a go.  You've got that club set up by disaffected Man fans, Altrincham, Northwich Vics.  Take a wwalk on the other side and find some real football again.

I really can't stand the whole FC United thing.   Manchester United float themselves on the stock exchange to make a truck load of money, helping them to become the richest club in the world.  A few years later when some seppo's decide to buy the majority of the club shares and become the owners, all the thick united supporters hold these demonstrations about how the club is not for sale - I'll think you will find as it is a publicly owned company that it is.  The fans then have a little sulk and form their own club.  Cue a couple of years of decent crowds and interest from people before disappearing into obscurity.

I am not spoiling for a fight with Jose's dog, and actually like the idea of watching non league football, although to be honest it is hard enough getting motivated to watch lower league stuff when it is -5 degrees.
 
I just hated the whole attitude of the united supporters when the club was being sold and them all w**king lyrical about FC United, until they forgot about it a week later.

I agree, really, why start your own club, why not go and watch one of the ones that has been around for 100 years
And they're still United w**kers anyway...
 
Right, back to Bury, what else is news?  Are you still at home?

Both good points Frankie and James!  Personally, I wouldn't go and any United related scum so don't know why I recommended that!  I do love non-league football though. 
 
Frankie and me have a fight? That's NEVER happened....

It all starts tomorrow with the Shakers at home to Ball'mouth.  My first trip to Gigg Lane and I am as nervouse as Bertos facing an open goal from 8 yards.
 
Team news I have heard about so far is that lumbering centre half will be fit, fast striker with no coordination is confident for the season ahead, tricky winger with spiky hair and colourful boots believes that this year will be his opportunity to get noticed by a premiership club, but journeyman centre midfielder is still injured with a calf strain and accute boredom after 16 straight years in League 2 with 12 different clubs.
