However, did you know that the record ManYew v Toon attendance was about 70000 and was also at Maine Road owing to your place bein bombed? You've gotta larf at your lot talking about the "curva". Who do you think you are? Real Madrid?

Still yawn, don't dispute your commitment there LR but a) Wrong forum to prove how loyal you've been and b) it's the rest of the so called supporters that let yer down........

1884 - great season as I seem to recall.

Ok Screach.....I'm hooking up with Sam at 12:30...be in the Bridge between 1:30 and 2pm I imagine.

Hey Donkus...you are NOT seriously talking about the SAME Real Madrid...current European Champions...slayers of The Religion...who took less than 400 to our 1/4 final last year?..Oh aye..The GREAT REAL MADRID :)

TM..how can this be the wrong forum to prove our worth as fans? We all know this on M-U-F-C.co.uk.....they all know it on Anfailed .com...yet on here..REGULARLY....the phrase bandwagon and gloryhunters is chucked. So...if you lot don't talk shite..I won't print facts :-)

Those cannot be right, ManU was only invented in 1992 when Eric Cantona joined and had a fight with the then manager Bryan Robson. The average gate was 13850 although about 4000 of them were on their way to Maine Road and got lost at Wigan.
