  • This is absolute nonsense. Kids will usually support who their parents support. If what you were saying was correct, you wouldn't get teams like Oldham getting crowds of 8,000 in Non League. You wouldn't get clubs in the Championship with crowds...
  • I think city have taken some of the casual fanbase but United still dominate Greater Manchester and probably large parts of the UK. Issue is that United's core support probably don't engage with the club in the same way due to the costs. The...
  • As I said on another thread about this, United have the opportunity to do something really meaningful with extra seats. If they want to fill it, make sure a good 5 or 10,000 tickets are in the hands of Greater Manchester schools and families...
  • No they're not. Biggest myth going that. With reasonable prices, United could sell 80-85,000 tickets for "normal" matches. Probably sell around 90-95,000 matches for the biggest games. They need to rethink the ticketing policy if they want to...
  • Apologies but this is nonsense. Season Tickets have worked fine since the ground went all seater. Communities have been built in different parts of the ground. People pass their tickets on from time to time, usually because real life gets in...
  • This is an interesting thread...

    On pitch performances have almost zero impact on the atmosphere at 90% of matches. As I said earlier on the thread, wider factors have killed football fan culture in this country. We were probably the 2nd best team in the world when Roy Keane...

    Post 99, the "average" has always been poor. The good football largely distracted from the changes in fan culture. Fans got lazy and it's very difficult to reignite that same passion in the average fan that goes through the turnstiles. Apathy...

    Atmosphere has been shite at OT for years but it's at least as shite as everywhere else. It also has very little to do with what is served up on the pitch. Roy Keane's prawn sandwich comment was made in 2000. IMUSA was formed partly in response...
  • Again, think a bit deeper. The biggest reasons why people want him back are because yes, he has the potential to be world class but also because he's an academy player. If you were looking at his career now as an outsider, you'd be hesitant to...
  • MancunianAngels replied to the thread Quiet Old Trafford.
    Post Treble season at OT, we started to see a long decline in the atmosphere. Its not really a new thing. United fans can still turn it on when required but ticket increases started to have an impact on the types of football that attended. The...
  • Here's a scenario for you all. Say the player in question belonged to Arsenal or Chelsea when this incident happened and had a similar two and a half years like he had at OT before not playing for ages and then having an ok (occasionally good...
  • It's entirely possible that he's just not that good. Mainoo and Garnacho have both become starters under Ten Hag. If Amad was good enough, he'd be a regular squad player now. I'd also add that our lack of decent coaching has probably...

    Adore the man. What a player.
  • Will either be an atmosphere at Old Trafford for the ages or Ten Hag's last stand.
