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.
Don't know how much difference it makes, but i live not far from Birmingham and there's been no more snow here.

Some snow showers in the Birmingham area today drifting in from the East - these will be generally very light though. I really want this game to go ahead, was out of the country over new years so haven't seen football in ages.

The One only scores in quadraples. so it'd be 1-5. Diouf -4.
But seriously, do you expect him to be on the pitch today at any point of time?
Ok, now we have the official - it's all set to be a cracker.
Diouf with 4 goals off the bench.

Fergie said it would be a great game to get him involved in, you never know! Positive thinking
Good news is that the sun is out here in brum. Bad news is it's snowing.
I hope this wait doesn't become an anti climax
If true, we're fecked. It's not gonna get above freezing all day.

The Ol' scare tactic. I'm sure Mcleish is shitting bricks.
If Berba freezes on the pitch will anyone notice?
I think he will take precautions by wearing an extra layer which will then be countered by Fletcher wearing Stuart Pearce's shorts circa 1990.
Oh and regarding undersoil heating:
A Birmingham statement said: "Staff have worked around the clock to ensure the St. Andrew's walkways, car parks and other areas are clear, the undersoil heating system means there are no problems at all with the pitch."
Clearly FM2008 are the source that these people are using.
Strange - these fans don't seem to know it's there! Undersoil Heating - the FACTS why we have'nt had it before! | Forums | BirminghamMail.netThread on there now says match is on. "ESPN inform talksport at 10.45 today blues have informed them match is 100 percent on ."
yay!
get in!
I just scrolled through the rolls, you're not there. So don't worry you're soul isn't with me.
I'm not celebrating until they kick off, still plenty of time left before the game for them to change their minds. But it has a decent chance I think, even if it is snowing in Brum again.
Tsk Tsk, Clique. You're not the devil. A harmless puppy is more like you.
For the match, United to draw 1-1
Cascarino has us to lose 1-0.
It didn't get there due to icy runway conditions.
I'm slightly afraid to ask but what channel is this on in ROI/UK?
Has anyone else taught that Sky this year has been a waste of money?

On ESPN in the UK at least.
Sky has been dissapointing but it will pick up next month with the CL and some big games starting with the Arsenal game then end of this month. ESPN has been decent value though with UFC too, and actual HD content as opposed to the shoddy shit Setanta used to call a picture.
chelsea are so lucky to have theirs canceled. At this rate the players in the african nations will be back before they've played a game. Jammy bastards
We'll win but it won't be easy 1-2
We'll win but it won't be easy 1-2
So glad that you only have to pay for one service to get EPL matches here.
Cheers mate
The CL games are always on the regular channels though. I always head to the pub for the big games aswell so I have watched feck all Sky gams this year.
Thats it I'm broke but I'm getting ESPN
True. I was counting on them playing some games without Drogba and Essien.
anyone rather we dont play today?
No. Im aching for a match.
And end up with a crazy schedule ahead ? We already have the CC games to compensate.
Me
I think the conditions will only favour B'ham, and we are making an already tricky fixture a bit harder for ourselves.
No FA cup though.................
Not for us, but Birmingham are still in it. If they have a good run and a couple more replays, suddenly you can find yourself struggling to fit the match in somewhere.
A win today would be massive. We'd be ahead on points, even if only temporarily, and our fixture schedule would be better than most clubs which would be another advantage.
No, Sold my ticket as I couldnt get there, if its another fecking date I'll be pissed.
