Here's the Mancunian Way for today:
United or City? Growing up in Manchester, you had to pick a football team - it was the law. In south Manchester, where I lived as a kid, most of my nearby mates were Reds, while those who lived in the east and north of the city tended to be Blues. But researchers say the regional divide goes far beyond just football rivalry.
In fact children being born and brought up near the Etihad face among the worst health prospects in the country. While those born in United’s backyard are 50 per cent less likely to grow up impoverished.
So what’s behind it? Health Equity North has created a league table ranking children’s health in the locations of the 20 men’s Premier League teams. They used indicators such as poverty, obesity, infant mortality rate and life expectancy at birth.
In a blog post they report that children are ‘50 per cent less likely to grow up in poverty (22.3 per cent) on the red side of Greater Manchester than on the blue side (44.7 per cent) – only a couple of miles down the road’.
Health reporter Helena Vesty has been looking at the research, which is based on public health information from the clubs' local authority areas. The top half of the league table - showing the best performing areas when it comes to children’s health - is largely dominated by southern clubs. But it’s topped by Manchester United which has some of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Greater Manchester.
In Trafford, where the club is based, just 22.3 per cent of children aged 0-15 years are living in
