York away...
The assembled ranks of Mancunians advancing across the Pennines in a manner reminiscent of Mao's Long March (all forms of motorised and public transport having long since been filled to capacity). Only the old and the lame left behind to curse their luck and remonstrate angrily with the few unfortunate souls who walked the empty streets, speculating on what form of apocalypse had rendered the city of Manchester so lifeless.
And as the hordes descended on York, it is said that the blue waves could be seen from space, causing several urgent weather warnings to be broadcast by a fearful government, thinking that some terrible tidal wave was about to engulf it.
The journey home was far more sombre, grown men weeping but still stopping to help the small children who had suffered the ordeal. And as the taller buildings of an empty Manchester started to appear on the horizon, they raised their eyes to the heavens and swore that City would fall no further and rise from the ashes to conquer all of Europe some day...
...or possibly not, I wouldn't know, I wasn't there.
