Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world, after winning the English Premier League three times in a row and also completing the treble last season. However, as a neutral football fan in Manchester, what team would be the best to go and watch based on witnessing goals and teams win?
If you want to go to a football match and see goals, there are three clear teams to go and watch. Daisy Hill, Cheadle Heath Nomads and Atherton Laburnum Rovers. With all three involved in at least four goals per game, it is bound to be exciting when going to these lower league teams if you just wish to see teams constantly score
Volunteer David Jenkins at Daisy Hill says, ” It sounds good having the most goal involvements, hopefully the results will soon turn in our favour though”. Even though Daisy Hill are involved in at least four goals per game, they only win roughly one match in three, this is similar to Cheadle Heath Nomads and Atherton Laburnum Rovers as well. So if you want to see teams win you might want to go elsewhere
On the other end of the Spectrum for goals per game, a team you might look to avoid as a neutral would be Atherton Colleries, with just around 2 goal involvements per game which is the lowest in Manchester and just a win percentage of 30. You wouldn’t have the most thrilling of experiences heading to the Skuna Stadium. Especially when there are other options like Bury for example. That will cost you the exact same for a ticket (£10), you will have more than double the chance of seeing them win with even more goals during the game
From an atmosphere perspective watching teams win at home. You will have more chance witnessing teams like Manchester City, Wythenshawe Amateurs, Bury and Wythenshawe Town win their matches with a 60+ win percentage. However, with a Manchester City ticket costing you roughly £75, you might have a better experience going to Wythenshawe Amateurs which is only going to cost you £6
Wythenshawe Amateurs have the second highest win percentage in Manchester with a 71.4% win rate. The Chairman of the club Carl Barratt believes “the club is in a good place right now”. After been top of the league following promotion from the previous season he is glad that their “success is being recognised”.
This would be one of the best teams to go and watch for pure entertainment, if not the best. With a very high chance of seeing them win and a near enough guarantee of at least three goals per game. The atmosphere at the Selco Builders Warehouse Community Stadium is going to be electric
Bury who were mentioned earlier would be another good team to go and watch as a neutral, with at least three goals per game and winning an average of two games in three. They are looking to be back on the rise after recent administration in 2020. Averaging thousands in attendance at Gigg Lane, you can only imagine that the atmosphere is one of the best in Manchester with the fans trying to push the players on to get the club back to where it belongs
If you want to witness goals for your entertainment, these are the top 5:
- Daisy Hill
- Cheadle Heath Nomads
- Atherton Laburnum Rovers
- Maine Road
- Cheadle Town
If you want to see teams win, your top 5 are:
