Me too. I've always been surprised how friendly the people are to be honest. Saying that I've never been to any of the really rough Manc areas, who'd murder someone speaking in a Leeds accent as if it's nothing. Scousers vary, 90% of them are absolutely fine, the other 10% kinda spoil it for the rest of them. Londoners.... again, mixed experiences. I just can't believe the way some of them dress. Brutal stuff.
I'll be honest and say I was pretty disappointed at how disrespectful of lot of my fellow Weegies were to Mitchell when he fought Burns. I suppose that's what happens when you move onto fighting in big arenas though, you're going to attract more arseholes.
People from all over the UK and Ireland went in support of Hatton that time, blaming that on Mancs is extremely ****ing stupid.
