Yes i know both teams had the same amount of fans there, but i get fed up of city fans saying the old trafford on match days is full of cockneys when that quite simply isn’t true. Obviously an successful football team attracts the wrong sort of people e.g cockney glory hunters, but these people rarely go to games, for example there are apprx. 1500 united fans on chartered flights to shalke from manchester airport. I’m sure city will attract plenty of glory hunters in the next few years!!

Plus 9 City coaches with National Express, but only 1 for United. Plus Thomas Cook charter trains for City.. Both fans had 32,000 fans there, I don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

Just another point I’d thought i’d add, there were 18 coaches that left from eastlands on saturday, 27 left old trafford plus 25 more from the bishop blaize pub round the corner,so is London really the ‘home of the reds’ as you put it

Yes Matt, that is what I said in the article and that remains true. Unfortunately, you twist my words in your first comment, stating: “To say that the United fans had all disappeared before the end is quite simply not true” – I never said that… At the end of the game, virtually all United’s fans had left, and to be honest, having been at the game, I know that many had gone even before the final whistle. However, I didn’t mention that in the article, yet you claim I did.
