Depends, I'd say fans in the North West are split into 3 groups, group 1 is your hardcore fan who supports his/her local team, group 2 is anyone up to and above the age of say 30 is more likely to support Liverpool as when they were kids Liverpool were the main team, group 3 are people up to about say 25 who support Man Utd because when they were growing up Man Utd were the team.

Although because Wigan are doing well there are more kids walking round in Wigan jerseys than used to be, but there are one or two Chelsea jerseys appearing round were I live the last few months.
