Utd after Southampton defeat springs to mind,we won the League Cup,they got a half hour show on Granada,we got sod allI can remember when the losing FA cup finalists had a parade and a town hall reception. Think after a domestic double and an appearance in the CL final, a parade and reception is the very least we deserve.
No idea of numbers but there was a fucking lot of them.
We happened to be on pre arranged all dayer in town and had murders all day, no matter where we went.
There was, not doubting that. But never a million. Wasn’t it a bank holiday or Sunday as well?
You could spend the night over ;-)Well I'm hoping for a Monday as I'm in town for an appointment, otherwise I'll have to do a 70 mile eachway round trip 2 days on the bounce.
The game won't finish in Istanbul until nearly midnight local time (10pm our time), no chance they will fly straight back with no sleep, get home at 4-5am and be doing a parade later in the same afternoon.Liverpool and others have done their CL parades on Sunday.
Be silly if we didn't do it on a Sunday, regardless if it's just for the double.
100% Monday if we have one.The game won't finish in Istanbul until nearly midnight local time (10pm our time), no chance they will fly straight back with no sleep, get home at 4-5am and be doing a parade later in the same afternoon.
Either roadworks or the new one way bit narrowing the road, I thinkCan’t remember where I read this. Might even have been on here. But I’ve seen somewhere that it’s going to go down Oxford Road rather than Deansgate due to something or other.
If we lose the final I’m not so sure a parade is the best idea.
I know a league and cup double is still a great achievement but if we choke the final the atmosphere is going to be very weird.
I understand what your saying and IF we lose the parade would be slightly subdued.If we lose the final I’m not so sure a parade is the best idea.

Can see it from both points of view, but for me if we lose on Sat night then any parade will be so subdued. Players won't want to be there and fans won't be in the mood for a party. Its the reality of where we are but Saturday night is everything.I understand what your saying and IF we lose the parade would be slightly subdued.
But the winning of a double alone is an incredible achievement which should be celebrated.
Spot on. One of the great achievements in English football,should be celebrated as loudly as we possibly can.Woah........no parade because we have 'only' won a double????
WTF planet are people on?
Not so long ago we would have been sectioned for even dreaming about silverware......we need to saviour every moment and never take our success and fortune for granted.....because one day it might just be gone again.
Get that fucking bus washed and ready to go!!
A mate's been provisionally booked to work on a parade on Sunday, if we win.
