Had it been official, you'd have known by glancing at your telly. There would have been huge empty sections.....a bit like the City of Manchester Stadium on a cup night. -- Legend-11 Manchester United - Premiership Champions Three Times Running.

Many City and United fans went to both Manchester clubs home games (me included). I stood on the Stretford End for about 20 years next to a bloke who was a true blue City fan.
