Old Colin lingered a long time on that shot of the big metal sausage piling into the comparatively small hole.

It’s Dogtanians real name.

It did get just about as gratuitous as a construction vid could get, I think.

But missed the 2 more important bits. Moving the reinforcing mesh and dropping it into the hole, and the final bit of pushing the mesh down fully into the hole.

A bit of a read; and yeh it's all about ManU, but a warning to fans of clubs everywhere, and a glimpse into our future?

Read the latter sections.

Longstanding ST holders, who live locally being moved to make way for corporates and seeing ticket prices increase beyond what they can afford, and giving up.

Interesting read but weird to focus on M postcodes given United’s support even pre Munich was coming form Cheshire and Lancashire. It would be like somebody focusing on B postcodes for us which u would say was similarly misleading given our traditional catchment area across the midlands.

Agree with that. My Father in Law is a dyed in the wool Yanited fan (pre-Busby if you’re interested!) and he’s lived in rural Cheshire his whole life. Simple 1 mile walk to the station and he got a direct train to Warwick Road back in the day. That whole village is probably split 60/40 Yanited/Redscouse. As you allude to it’s a bit like saying people from Staffs and Warks without a B postcode don’t support the Villa.

You can live in Staffordshire AND have a B postcode.

That’s right, the dream package.
