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.
Could be a doubt over this game apparently. The rain needs to stop
Is this day and age it's simply unacceptable for a top flight football team to have to call a game off because of a waterlogged pitch.
Thats not really fair is it, the amount of rain we are getting is silly, its not just the pitch you have to worry about, what about the surrounding area, if that is flooded and dangerous to travail in what else can be done.
I have no doubt that the pitch will be perfectly playable, but if the crowd cant get there safely, the Police will call it off.
Tits. I thought this game was today at 13:30am. Set my alarm and everything.
I'd actually prefer it if the game would be postponed (not necessarily to another day, but if it would give me an extra hour or two I'd be grateful as then I could catch the entire game.)
Make Swansea play on a waterlogged pitch. No chance they will be able to play their usual game
Those going by train, might have some problems, judging by this and the rain is not letting up till Monday.

Bluemoon will be banging on about how SAF slipped God a brown envelope and made it rain.
As per my post, I was only referring to a waterlogged pitch.
Me to for some reason.fecking hell, I thought this game was today.
Hope that game isn't affected by the rain everyone is talking about.
It was originally on today, but was moved to tomorrow. Nothing worse than building yourself up for a United game, only to find out it's on the next day..
At least that means I wasn't totally crazy. Will just watch City drop points instead hopefully.
Is the game still on or is it in doubt?
It'll really suit our game too, what with all our long balls and hulking Andy Carroll types.
1-2, that is the score. get yer money on it.

Make that 1-3, Stookie.
I'm really looking forward to this, including the return of Kagawa who will most likely feature from the bench and possibly Vidic from the start. I just hope Fergie doesn't go too rotational with his eye on the next three games in quick succession after this one. His away lineups this season seem to be slightly stronger than the home ones anyhow.
rather see it postponed than having a farce of a game on a waterlogged pitch.
So if this game is going to be played it will look like Real - Levante (?) a good month ago?
Is there a serious chance of it being postponed? I will smash things.
I've not seen any rumours, just one post on RedCafe.
Originally 3pm yesterday like all games this weekend, it was never a 1.30ko yesterday so I'm afraid he has gone mental
Really hope Vidic and Kagawa start. Think SAF should also start Hernandez on this rain sodden pitch as his pace will be extra important.
Id go with
dG
Rafael Rio Vidic Evra
Carrick Cleverley
Young Kagawa Rooney
Hernandez

Kagawa won't be there. He was supposed to have started training last Monday but Fergie said on Friday he is starting this Monday coming. He better be.
I think Rafael is still out too.
I think Rafael is still out too.
Feels like a new signing as we have not seen nearly enough of him yet.
Didn't SAF say in his presser that Kagawa is going to start training on Monday coming? (I know he's said the same thing for 2 or 3 weeks now)..
I think we are going to see a whole lot of rotation over these next 4 games in particular so it's best to be prepared. We seem to do well in December (fingers crossed that continues!) so I'm sure SAF will know how best to tweak his teams.
This Swansea game is arguably the toughest of the 4 (?) so I'd like to see the strongest XI possible.
De Gea
Jones Smalling Rio Evra
Valencia Carrick Cleverley Young
Rooney
van Persie
Jones Smalling Rio Evra
Valencia Carrick Cleverley Young
Rooney
van Persie
Is what I'm hoping for. Toughest game of these next four. Rotate a bit for the two home games.
Have a feeling we will lose today!
Going to be tough game if Swansea play well.
Going to be tough game if Swansea play well.
Even Norwich manage to score 4 there if i remember correctly
So what's the weather like? Still raining heavily? Hope the game won't be postponed
Nothing on the Sport sites about it being postponed so i presume the game is going ahead.
Come on United!
looking at Sky and BBC news channels, there is still plenty of rain around and flooded road and trains not running, dont think the game will be postponed now.
Hope everybody travelling, gets there and back safely.
Would we not have heard some kind of official 'keep your eyes peeled' by now if there was a chance of that? After all it's been raining long enough, it can't have caught them by surprise.
Not even seen any rumours, I think its just Caf paranoia.
Yeah, but if we play close to our best, we will smash about four past them. Remember, there is still RVP and Rooney upfront
I'm a bit worried too, but only because of the busy christmas period coming up. Let's hope we're starting our best XI available today, this is by far the toughest game of the next four. We're playing Newcastle and West Brom at the right time as it seems.
They also managed to beat us
If there was a chance of it being postponed, the clubs would have made announcements in the morning to fans travelling to the game about a chance of it being called off, but they have not done so it will most likely take place unless the weather gets much worse from now till kick off.
Imagine United fans getting ready to go to the game and once they reach the ground, they hear the game has been called off. They would be fuming at the clubs lack of announcements before the game.
I've got a very bad feeling for this.
It's just...Michu

It's just.... RVP
