What Does The Evening News Survey Say About Manchester’s Support?
Whilst not at all scientific, given it was entirely dependent on who filled in the survey (I didn’t, did you?), it was interesting to note that almost 1,000 more reds took part in the Manchester Evening News poll.

Guard of Honour?
It was a marvellous occasion. Late Spring 2007. Wednesday evening. The pitch was so green. Their royal blue stood in marked contrast to our bright red. The stadium was sombre, all but for the 3000 man choir in the corner of the Shed End, singing to the man with orange skin and a silver puffa...
