Ken Aries 0 Posted April 11, 2005 As i was unable to get a ticket for Saturday''s brilliant victory i watched the game in the Woolpack (Golden Ball street) instead. As the game started i was aware of some vociferous Man Utd "fans" near to where i was sitting. Initially I thought they must be typical locally based glory-hunters, but no, listening more closely I realised they were true Mancs. Unbelievabally, it turned out they had travelled down from Manchester to see their team, and then did very well on the Grand National, so decided to give their match tickets away so that they could go out on the piss instead. Apparently they thought it would be a dire game - which it was if you were a Manure fan.I just found it hard to believe that anyone would go to all the trouble to travel away, only to then change their minds and watch it on TV instead.
