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.
Ah, you beat me to it. Ann Arbor, yes.
Forget Etihad, they can’t even fill their allocation for a Cup Final against United.
I’m not sure about attendance records but it was a capacity filled stadium yeah and one of the big ones in the states iirc. I think it was Marca
The attendance was 109,318 which at the time was a record for a soccer game in the US, the Spanish newspaper Marca alledgedly doctored the stadium photo's to make it look like their were far more Real Madrid fans their than their actually hear.
Its nice to see that City are now bringing in celebrities from Asia to fill seats that they were unable to sell.
I don't think that word is needed, it was extremely obvious.
I'm not certain, but I think it was this one. Michigan. A crowd of 109,318 for a preseason!
Bloody hell that’s a massive crowd
UM fills that stadium to the brim every one of the six or seven home games every season. It’s quite an amazing structure.
Yeah that’s quite insane. Impressively so.
Roughly 4/5s of the stadium is actually built below ground level; the ‘nosebleed’ seats are only like three stories high.
Largest stadium in the western hemisphere per Wiki.
Yeah, it's impressive. Preseason game too.

I actually attended United v/s Liverpool at the Michigan stadium in 2018. We lost 4-1. Travelled all the way from Boston with my 1.5 year old to see the game. It was a great experience but an awful performance from us.

Big game College (american) football is probably the closest thing to Premier league vibe for a USA sport (not saying it's that close). It's a blast.
And it was packed to the rafter for a preseason match as well! Impressive stadium and crowd.
Yeah i guess City would have no issue filling that stadium with them controlling 80% of the greater Manc area and all
I hope this thread gets busy later today.
With quotes from Bluemoon, not discussion about anything else.

An example of the kind of clueless comments some of the posters put on BlueMoon
Unbelievable that one BlueMoon poster took the time to right tbis utter nonsence

Jesus wept. Is he alright? Think someone is taking it a bit too seriously.
First time ever reading a rather indicative Bluemoon post?
Indeed. That chap is actually in good spirits!
He’s defo a ‘glass half full’ bloke.
Ha I know, I should know better
They are absolute cretins.
Do yourself a favor & never enter the site. It is an absolute shambles, even for a lurker.
Makes RAWK seem as though Rhodes scholars created the forum & similar scholars are the posters.

I don't even understand the teamviewer thing tbh, thought they'd pulled out?
Unfortunately, those posters' fathers didn't.
They are the most bitter and twisted bunch. All the cheating success they've had and they still have a huge chip on their shoulder about United.
They have, it ends at the end of this season and the club were hardly going to agree a new sponsor before the takeover has gone through.
I think that's why they're OK with cheating. They hate United so much they'd rather cheat to win the league to stop anyone else from winning it. They're the only bunch that make Liverpool fans respectable.
Edit: I said this before they threw something at Lindelof. Only City fans could be called scum and then immediately prove it correct.

That's a fair distance from Boston, yes. Too bad they played so poorly that day.
They've always had such an inferiority complex. I still remember their boasts about their massive floodlights at Maine Road.
Ffs

Didn’t they also have the widest pitch in the land?

Wasn't sure where to put this, but after the game yesterday the United fans en masse left the stadium, by the time we got out there was a number of City fans already leaving before they couldn't conceivably have lifted the cup yet, some with young kids too, I mean go to the cup final and leave without watching the team lift the trophy especially when you have kids and stuff I mean its a small thing but it stuck with me last night and into today

I saw a reply recently from some city fan to a tweet about United that asked "How big are their floodlights?" I didn't get it until now
Thought the same as well, we walked out a few minutes after the final whistle and by the time we were on Wembley way there were loads of blues around, it just feels all of this is wasted on them.

Yes, I think I remember something about this. I know we used to call them the "massives" as a result of these ludicrous boasts.

Just went over onto Bluemoon for a mooch about.
At the start of every season, they have to create a new United thread. If they didn't do this, the rolling thread would be 100 thousand pages long. So they start a new one, so that people don't see how messed up in the head they are. The United thread is always at the top of the page, because half of them never leave it.
The thread is already 300 pages long and the season doesn't start for another 4 weeks. That really takes some dedication.
You can only admire the level of interest in everything United related that consumes their lives on a daily basis.
I suppose that most of them have gone too far down the road to turn back now, even after winning the treble, they are still riddled with it.
Twisted up inside.
Heh

To be fair, that might be because there's only like 7 posts per page on that forum. Dunno how people even use it
I just had a look and it's already reached 3,000 posts in less than a month! That's a pretty intense expression of bitterness. Compare that to 20K here over 13 years.
any mention of Mendy signing for french side Lorient just two days after having his acquittal for rape charges of two women???
