Have to agree with you there RedDwarf.
I've lost count of the number of times i've been told to sit down ( ejected twice so far ) by stewards. Had people behind me shouting " sit down we cant see ", people looking at me like i'm an alien for trying to sing and once had some idiot telling me to shut up as his son was trying to listen to his iPod.
Add to that people arriving 10 minutes into the game, leaving their seats 10 minutes before half time, returning 10 minutes into the second half and leaving 10-15 minutes before the whistle. Why they bother going at all i dont know !!
Sir Alex Ferguson compared the Old Trafford atmosphere to a "funeral".
Ferguson noticed the lack of voice from the 75,459 crowd after watching the match from the directors' box as part of a two-match touchline ban.
"That was the quietest I have heard the crowd, it was like a funeral," he said.
His comments come seven years after Roy Keane famously dubbed the Old Trafford crowd as the "prawn sandwich brigade".
"The players need the crowd sometimes but the atmosphere inside the ground wasn't good," said the Scot.
It has to be said that unfortunately the atmosphere was 'prawn sandwich' to the very definition
"There are some situations when we need them to get behind us and give us a lift."
Former Manchester United captain Keane made headlines in 2000 when he laid into sections of the Old Trafford crowd, claiming they couldn't "spell 'football', never mind understand it".
He later insisted that he was referring to the crowd in general, not just United's corporate fans.
And Ferguson has complained on previous occasions about the lack of atmosphere at Old Trafford.
To the thread starter....Get yourself to OT mate you'll never forget the experience and Give the food and drink a miss, food is disgusting and overpriced, beer is watered down and again..overpriced.
