..... and call it the scoreboard or the warwick rd.. And people with trays walking around the perimeter picket fence chucking choccy bars etc at their customers.

And 4 big £#%&!-off floodlight pylons you could see at night on the road at sale on your way 'the match.

Errrr, doesn't a 'Wagon Wheel' come under the generic term ' choccy bar ' ?


And I forgot to mention Sir Matt's Jensen in the car park......

%@#$&!s is it.

Stretford has been taken up by execs and family stand, disabled area in K-stand (could've been anywhere else in the ground), Tier 3 you can't see much, Megastore, better seats for away fans than many in the ground, vocals relocated to other end.

Suppose my issue is more the atmospherics than the actual ground but if you look at every other "best in the world" type ground (San Siro etc) - there's twice the noise than OT.

season tickets can set you back about 150 quid on the exchange. I know someone who got one at Juve a few years back because it worked out just as cheap as a UK one with his travel etc by Le Shuttle. Managed to get to most games aswell.

if you look at the power the ultras have you can see how poor British fan culture really is.
