Why Blue?

Well I have to make mention of two contrasting “Why Blues” in the last MCIVTA. One full of anecdotes and warmth, and the other primarily about Manchester United! As a ManU fan I’m always pleased to see us get a mention on this wonderful McVittee site but at what cost to you Blues out there? It’s great to see City doing so well this season and I hope it continues. Good luck.

Why Blue?

The Why Blue from Phil Lines last week made me even more pleased after a weekend of fantastic results. I too grew up in South Manchester but I enjoyed my primary school St. Vincents as most of the teachers there were Blues. I was football team captain too – and we beat St. Hughes! However, St. Ambrose was cr*p and only played rugby so I agree with him on this point.

I’m now a primary headteacher in Malaysia where I am one in a great many plastic Reds. I enjoy reading MCIVTA each week and as I will be home for Christmas wonder if there are any gatherings of MCIVTA’s from round the world at any of the games?
