In September 2011, The United Religion decided to branch out and bring a few contributors on board to provide an article.
IvyUnited
Sam, currently attending Dartmouth College, has been a United fan since the 2005/06 season when the internet actually became good enough to stream games in the boonies of New Hampshire. After having seen United on three occasions during their tours in the US (including the 2-1 win over Barcelona in Washington, DC), he plans to visit Old Trafford at the end of March on the trip home from a term abroad in Rome. Sam, aside from his studies, spends his time volunteering as the assistant coach for both the local high school and club teams.

Dave, originally from Dublin, Ireland, but moved to California with my young family in the summer of 2008. Up until his move to the US of A, he was a regular at the Theatre of Dreams and witnessed the many lows of the 80's and the many, many highs of the past 21 years. United is not just a passion for me it’s a part of my everyday life and through this blog he hopes to share with you the emotional turmoil that comes with following the greatest club on the planet!

Marisolrq
Marisol, a 23-year old born and raised in Mexico. My father was a footballer so was my grandfather so not loving football was not an option. Started following United as soon as I got Rid of the barbies. The two top moments of my life have to be when John Terry slipped to miss that penalty and the day Ryan Giggs posed with me in a photo.

The Flowers of Manchester is written by Dave, a 26-year old Manc who moved to the States in 2008. He started the blog as a way to maintain one of the things he misses the most in his day-to-day life - talking about United. He's married, lives in Milwaukee and works in higher education.
