brilliant video!! thing thats also missing from OT now is colour 70s and 80s the stands used to be filled with flags scarves ect now you never see 1 flag !! dissapointing i just dread of what OT is going to be like in 10 to 20 years tme when all the people have been drove away by high ticket prices and people who just want to make money out of the club
I was fortunate enough to be a Stretford ender when Tommy Doc was manager, OT was fucking amazing back then, the place was rocking every home game with an atmosphere that just blew you away, now gone forever, I would not go now if you paid me.
There is absolutely no good reason that grounds are all-seater nowadays. People want to stand. Politics and the middle-classes have rinsed so much excitement out of football (er, and Glastonbury Festival).
i still go out of my way to watch big united on tv but havnt paid a single penny to the glazers. love it watching fcum its like football used to be. having a craich with your mates in the pub, standing together, singing together and no fuckin picnic tables and thermos flasks in sight. glazers did us a favour looking back. because it had happenedover a number of years i hadnt noticed how sterile top football had become. now im buzzing for days and i always USED to feel like that at ot.
Top video this is fella. Sad the way atmosphere and passion are words that don't go in the same sentence as MUFC these days.I am only 21 so have grown up with the success and 'brand man u' etc and the americanisation of the game. Makes me sick .SAf doesn't help at all IMHO though. Like RED ARMYmufc99 points out, our away support is even suffering now too. Does my head in
Come and support a conference team (Y). Terraceing, standing up, surprisingly good atmospheres :). Actually if you are all MUFC then you should go watch FC United, proper good atmosphere there, they could do with support too. :)
my mate still sits in stretford and spent 1 season having to keep swopping st's as the stewards were after him. his crime? standing up to try and get the stretford singing. oh i forgot its the west stand now. LUHG
to all those people that complain that they are at OT. consider yourselves lucky. im in australia and i would give up so much to have the oportunity to watch man utd play every week.
why can't all fans together put back regional rivalries we all have the same enemies stewards we shoul dorganise protests united and liverpool having the biggest two supports would be the first place to start get everyone involved.
enuff respect to whoever made this video same thing has happen at the corporate bowl aka emirates its a joke how supporters or 'custumers' or our kind have been treated
I know where you are coming from the stands the way, the way it was, " can you please sit down im watching the game" Reply "Yes course i can but there is a telly at home for that" i go to the bishop blaze for the fun then its off to the stadium. I know where your coming from its a let down, bring back the stands we can deal with the crowds, i.e its not a baseball game. FFS
Agree with most but the 'fans' are partially to blame as most go to record the atmos on their phones and camcorders but whilst their doing that who is providing the atmosphere??? Fans recording fans already recording..mmmmm...not to much recording at the start of the clip. Long live hill 16 in Dublin, a real terrace...thank god....but for how long...
