I recorded that and it was very good. Bad show for Granada/ITV but typical I guess.

I thought it was the main headline story on the 6.00 clock bulletin on Granada which showed the funeral . I was there. Can't comment on the BBC

I never watch Granada/ITV news and I apologise if the info I read was wrong. :-( :-)

ITV /Granada led with the funeral of Franny and the BBC buried it towards the end of their programme , which isnt surprising considering the amount of Rag vermin that frequent BBC/Salford , but i will be in the ground early on Saturday , i dont usually go inside the ground until ten minutes before kick-off and have a few sherbets in Mary D's. i
I cannot stand the pre-match razamatazz / bullshit , because i am miserable old f*cker who also misses a pre-match brass band and a bovril , but i will be in the Etihad nice and early drinking the Asahi gnats piss , to show my respect for a true blue legend.

Hopefully there’s a nice tribute planned for him today.

Hopefully there’s a nice tribute planned for him today.

It'll be interesting to see what the club do. I'm certain we'd ideally have a minute's applause in his memory before the game, but the Premier League have mandated a minute's silence for Israel/Palestine before all this weekend's games. So any tribute to Franny may happen before the teams come out, or at half time.

What a surprise.
It's nonsense

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Great minutes applause

 

[Banshee]

That banner, superb!

 

[WillDaws]

Fantastic banner... would make a great flag that

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Great banner. Hopefully the club announce when the statue of lee, bell and summerbee will be ready

 

[pride in battle]

Why no black arm bands but the players put them on second half ?
