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.
How reliable is your friend?
I have family living in Hayes, this is quite worrying
I wouldn't say very reliable, I think if it was on fire you'd be hearing about it by now. I'd give them a ring to warn them though, I'd expect trouble in Hayes tonight.
Keep us updated with whats going around hayes please.
Why did Marc Duggan and company have two guns, I'd hardly call that innocent.
If Manc doesn't kick off tonight the Kersal Massive will never live it down.
its char sui pork tonight - with mash
OK, first sirens of the afternoon just went flying past up Porltand Street... could be anything, mind.
...
Twitters saying the Grapes is NOT on fire. I shall bitchslap my friend for each one of you.
Owt. Fooking wannabe Mancs.
Cheers.
Manchester mans is calm at the minute, trust me.
Bull Bridge Tesco being shut at 9PM as a precaution. Hayes Town being locked down, fire engines patrolling the area, youths on bikes being stopped by police. All shops in Hayes Town shut.
What you don't grasp is the racism that's endemic in the police force; they'll shoot any black guy with a gun.
Also, Manc centre as my daughter works there.
She said shitloads of Riot police in Salford.
Prevention rather than cure?

I would like to be there.
Info from friends?
I'd imagine so.... get the coppers in there, keep people moving along, stop any crowds building up.
The word I was going for is pronounced ought, though God knows how it's spelt. More Yorkshire than Manc, I'd say?
Shit, I'm a sheep-shagger wannabee!
That's all from Twitter.
On my way into work, quite tense outside, people visibly on edge and cautious. Train empty think most have gone home by now, stay safe peeps will pop in here as the night progresses and let you know how it's going
Can you send me that link please.
Patrice Evras twin on Sky news in Birmingham.Of course.
For everyone else that's interested: If you want updates on your local area, just search for it preceeded by a # on twitter eg. '#Ealing'. You don't need an account to do so, and you get updates much quicker than by waiting for them on BBC or Sky News.
Some of my pics from Claps today...Nothing that exciting. Some bloke from Sky. A lot of glass..
an Brixton yesterday
what they dont grasp is that the kids are not stupid - they know what to do - when to do it and how to be mobile enough for the rampage for as long as they are allowed - the amount of arson is a clue
Hehe
They smashed up a Nando's?
That might be true. Ish. Well.
meh. they'd shoot a white guy with a gun, too. I'm sure the same would hold true for anyone really.
What. The. feck. Have you guys seen this?London riots: BlackBerry workers threatened - Telegraph
we wants sweets

Aught. Positive polarity equivalent of naught/nought. And turns out you're right, it can be spelt ought as a variant. Archaic in standard English but maybe still current in Yorks then?
Yer believe that an' yer'll believe anything yer silly sausage.
Whoosh
They smashed up a Nando's?
They cocked themselves breakfast in a Maccy D's in Brixton.
