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.
In the US election they predicted Clinton to win overall, but did predict some battleground states correctly.

In all likelihood their poll is going to be an outlier.
Their forecast is amazing. In total votes she did win. But look at the key states.
Lets hope their prediction for labour comes true.
I don't think I've ever been so hopeful for a party to win an election that I'm not actually voting for.
well i did say it was the hope that kills.
which way are you voting cheesy? if you don't mind me asking.I don't think I've ever been so hopeful for a party to win an election that I'm not actually voting for.
No. Just, no.
Anyone who can afford that with benefit money is a fecking hero.
That's just stupid. Unless you think the last Labour government was running the entire fecking planet.
Okay, best of luck to them.
"They're buying it, by god they're buying it"
No.
Yes, vote Labour.
Red just got rekt.SNP. Considered Labour since I do like Corbyn, but my local MP is a decent guy who gave a detailed response to my queries within an hour or so of me sending them, Scottish Labour are still largely a shambles obsessed with their opposition to independence and putting up paper candidates in areas where the Tories may beat out the SNP as a result, and I generally think the SNP are a decent governing party. So I'll stick with them.
What's the general mood up there regarding the snp? i mean could you see a world where a labour - snp coalition is a possibility? assuming there is a hung parliament of course.
Thanks for that, Mephistopheles.
We'll get a good brexit deal because Mays a woman... That's the best logic in this entire thread.
So the party that accidentally (against it's leaders wishes) took the UK out of the European Union, without any plan whatsoever how to do so (at the time), and just to please it's extreme right wing, is the wise option? That's some funky wisdom they've got. No matter how you stand on brexit, this is all true. Even if it were the greatest thing ever done by anybody it would still hold true. And it's going to be a huge clusterfeck
I'm torn between wanting Labour to win and the feeling that the Tories deserve to preside over their magnificent brexit and all of it's glorious consequences.

Thanks random redcafe person. Many insight, much wow. Narrative straight from the Daily Heil.
So what are your predictions for tomorrow ? I know most want a Labour victory, but what do you expect will happen ?
I have not followed this as close as I usually would but looks to me that the Conservatives will increase their majority. A working majority of around 65 to 75 seats. Of course I could dead wrong.

It is looking like a conservative majority, whether that will be an increased majority or not is yet to be seen. I am certainly hoping that Labour can pull off the upset, but even at my most optimistic i feel a hung parliament and some kind of labour coalition is the best case scenario.
Here we... here we fecking go!
Wow.
I haven't even finished work yet but i am an odd mix of nervous and excited.
SNP / Labour / Lib Dem coalition. Put money on it.
For the love of God, vote Labour.
That was my point
Would an SNP coalition stop the IndyRef2 talk?
I'm not going to comment on the rest because they are your views but what I can offer, from my experience in the NHS, is that the above is a poor and flawed judgment on the situation. It certainly isn't "sensible".
Waiting times in A&E, waiting times to be seen after your referral, operation cancellations, available beds, nursing and doctor staffing and many, many more critical aspects are at their worst levels in most of our lifetimes across the board.
The NHS will forever need more funding, it's the nature of the beast. The older we live, the more reliance we have on the service and the more expense we therefore require. But to dismiss the Conservatives actions and decision making on the way to this crisis is an inherently flawed judgment that requires people to speak against that.
Nobody is saying Labour will get it right but they're promising to do a damn sight more in trying to fix things than any recent Conservative government has.
I suspect you'll be the first person to criticise the NHS when they can't deal with a problem that you will inevitably have in life at some point. Instead of getting angry at the staff, the process and the results, remember that you voted to maintain the status quo and against a party trying to lead on accountable change and improvement.

The electoral models online are all crap... they seem to have the Lib Dems getting 2-4 seats.
I'm desperately trying to work out what to put into my work sweepstake. None of them look like any help.

I dont believe a country that voted for Brexit will go anything but Tory unfortunately. Not getting my hopes up
This. England is more right wing than David Beckham. Tory landslide.
I don't think il be staying up all night, il wait til the exit polls are released and if the outcome looks bleak then I'm off to sleep.
What time are early exit polls incoming?
This.
Yup, the OAP's to rule again.
36 years since I bought it and there's still not a single word out of place
Oh good just seen my first status of the day about there only being pencils to vote with. Ffs.
Couple of interesting things from Jim Waterson (tweet it's linking in second one is the first one if that makes sense):
Have any non-left media taken an interest in these sorts of stories? Seems like something that needs to change, but won't until there's wider media interest. Tough.
Voted. Pissing it down here though. Was the same in 2015.
Come on you Reds!!!
