In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
i just realised that i have been sat at the front window all afternoon and not a single person has gone by outside, it seems to be eerily quiet out there at the moment
Damn right, get into them.
Very strong community in southall. They won't stand there and let their shops get looted.
Yes I got to the shopping centre and, thankfully from what I could see, the rumours seem to be exaggerated. The centre was completely closed and nobody could go inside so I don't know what may have happened there. The building that burned was a corner shop a short walk away from there. I assume people mistook that blaze for the centre itself.
This is what burned.
This is one of the main problems that I predicted. When the violence escalates into Hoody-Scum Vs Vigilante (or shop owner willing to inflict serious damage) we have a very big problem on our hands.
Good to hear. The rents called up someone who lived right opposite the centre and she was saying it was on fire, and it was being repeated as fact by several journalists in the area on twitter... hopefully it was as small as you say then.
Yeah the centre's had the shutters up since about 1.30-2pm I think, that was when my mum had to leave by. I've probably been in that corner shop countless times on my way to the station
Just seen the picture - didn't realise that the worst of it was up Bond Street. There was a decent pub right next to that shop, I think. That'll be shut for a while
We have a shop on the Bletchley highstreet, it's has many masks and costumes, I can see it being an attraction for looters if the opportunity arises / the police don't push them back off. It's insane it really is.

Sorry to hear that man.
The party shop in Clapham Junction went up in a blaze last night. We used to always head there whenever there was a fancy dress party on.
Seemed like really good people who were always friendly and helpful.
2 arrested in Folkston, Kent for inciting riots via social networks. Good !
What the feck are these people like ??!!

Fancy dress parties in Clapham? You're just too street for this thread.
Yeah I was watching it yesterday, we used to go there years ago, well, when we were walking around, and worry about how the competition may grow. Now it's a burnt shell.
Hows things looking for you kinky, is the shop above still open?
the robust approach is too late. and sixteen million coppers too late. its done - the spoils of victory have been won. dibble clueless as usual. looters sitting at home tryin on their gear and all the bill in london..
Oh God...just saw the Boris clip 
It's this sort of thing the Simpsons takes the total piss out of

Bo Jo should dress up as a superhero tonight.
Hectic you are the only person on the net reporting trouble there.
Where did you get it from?

They're closing things down slowly but surely. The problem is their greed. Without meaning to sound too harsh they really should have shut up shop last night. Staying open effects the entire 3 stories of this building
Kay hello mate.She's down with the youths
Don't I know it! I live in Hounslow, so I'm not too far from Southall at all. Hope these looting feckers get what's coming to them.
What the feck is going on with Kay's tongue? Is she a lizard?
Comiserations fella.
Lots of divs round my way talking about Hounslow tonight.
I'm in Twickenham/Whitton.
Some stupid questions, where did you hear about it? errr the news.
No, she's the Beelzebub.
Been sent home from work early, looks like Birmingham could be in for another night of it.
I'm in hayes but i was brought up in southall. I hope they get a good kicking in.
The Kaiser Chiefs must be feeling pretty smug right now.
Oh look it's yesterday.
Kicking off in West Brom
Morrisey called it a long time earlier tbf.
