I live in the midlands (unfortunately), and every Utd supporter I know actually goes to games, unlike the Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea ect fans I know.

To be honest I only know of a few Utd fans in my area yet know a lot of football fans. Most tend to support Wolves, Baggies, Villa, Arsenal and Liverpool.

But thank you for the backhanded compliment

Outskirts of Wolverhampton Melton. To be fair lots of people here support midland clubs, I only have one or two friends who support Man Utd, plus members of my family.

Whenever I'm in the midlands I see a huge Arsenal fan base

Yeah, I lived near there for a bit as well. West midlands, you tend to get a few local supporters as there are so many teams round there. It's only when you get out in the sticks that you see the United and Arsenal shirts really

"And one City one?"

I'm past wearing replica shirts VC! I did look at the website the other day to see if there were any registered fans near me and apparently there are 4 living in Melton. Never met them though!

I came up to Birmingham last year to visit Birmingham City Uni and I saw about 20-30 people in the town centre with Arsenal shirts

Most of them were Asian, god Birmingham is a shít hole. And that accent, facck

ahh west midlands then, i barely see any in derby or nottingham

I know quite a few arsenal fans from my collage days actually, strangely they are all Asian from what I remember.

I think there are still quite a lot floating about from the Henry days, possibly depends on your age, I even meet the occasional Blackburn fan.

Birmingham is full of Gooners. The city centre of brum in the nice, the rest not so. Sooner I et out if this dive the better.

ilkeston right in the middle of derby and notts

posted on 11/2/13

I know it well, there was a few people from there where I worked. Tended to be a mix of derby and forest fans though. Couple of United, but not many.

posted on 11/2/13

yeah its mostly forest and derby, but united is definitely the 3rd most supported team around here

People say London is filled with Asians and hardly any English people, they should check out Birmingham. I hardly saw any English people there, just Asians with that horrid brummie accent

Since Wenger's era, Arsenal have actually built a big fanbase in Birmingham.

posted on 11/2/13

in ilkeston there's hardly any asian or black people, up until about 20 years ago it was still a big national front area

posted on 11/2/13

you can be Asian and English

I don't know if Stoke/Staffordshire is considered the midlands, but I heard they've got a big BNP following there
