Leeds will be fun next season

Keanos all over it.

Always considered that a Chelsea song.

Butch's old team

Yeah it was originally then the Stretford Enders robbed it in the nineties and changed it from "went to mow a meadow" to "went to mow at Chelsea"

Vaguest of recollections. Then again I stopped going in the 90's, just as we started winning everything...

Some things you never forget.

Slipping out, five minutes before the whistle, one down against Latics in front of a crowd of 35 thousand loyal reds.

Making my way towards the match bus 'Part time supporter!!' still ringing in my ears.

Glancing back as an explosion of cheers erupts from the ground, a late United equaliser.
"Enjoy what's coming, lads. I've a feeling you're gonna like it"

Raising the collar of my Macintosh coat, pulling down the brim of my Trilby, as I disappear into the November mist and an uncertain future.

No recollection of that at all

Thought it was "a scouser", i.e. "one man and his baseball bat went to mow a scouser"

Utter shite. My wumdar is beeping.

Come on lads, we all remember in the 90s, when the Stretford Enders famously offered to take a trip to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, put football allegiances aside, and help out with the lawn maintenance?

Nice one.Now im not gonna labour the point because its neither here nor there in terms of importance but i swear on a few occasions i heard it and sung it,back about that time when i was about 14 or 15 and used to go with mates from school we always stood to the left of the bridge bit where all the good shit happened....singing,dancing,swaying this way and that etc etc.
Im not saying it was ever a tune that was sung all the time or lasted a long time or anything.
Might be wrong.Thats all i have to say.

Well I never

Here’s me, first stood on the Stretford end in about 1971 and I’ve never heard of the bridge. Never heard any of the lads of our estate mention the bridge.

You learn something new every day

Maybe he really went in the scorecard end

Must have been a term christened by my mates then,i never questioned it."Getting there early to get on the bridge" "The bridge will be rammed today" were deffo phrases i heard from that lot.
Anyone remember Trace the Ace??Think she sang in front of the Stretford End a couple of times in the early 90s and did a cover of Im so Excited but changed the words so it was all about Man U.Please tell me i wasnt imagining that as well.

The Stretford end bridge is an actual bridge... it’s the one that takes you from the gate at the players tunnel over the railway onto railway rd

There is no other
