Banners - all gone for good?

[BimboBob]

Slightly different topic - but for anyone south of the half way line - there was a giant "Aerial" towering above the North Stand - must have been outside at the back of the stand - at a guess about 80 feet high - Any idea what that was.??

Was it an aerial?

hopefully it's nothing more than a delay in getting the stadium back into "football" mode as opposed to "concert" mode. although i love to see the banners, they show us who were are and where we've been, i can understand that sponsors want to see their logos on the stadium and are paying us silly amounts of cash to do so.

on the pre-match entertainment, i quite like some of what happens in city square. i've seen some decent bands there and i like the interviews - uwe last night was brilliant. some of it is a bit crappy tho' like that aguerooooooooooooooooo competition last night - that got tired very quickly. and as for that "singer" on the pitch, don't get me started. just play bluemoon on the pa sysytem city, we can sing it ourselves.

I've called him before as a united wum.

Click on his name and his topics started.

The force is still strong with you Dave mate :-)

Last season the empire struck back but this year it's return of the Jedi, blueinsa ;-)

Does that mean Moyes comes over from the dark side at the end of the season?

Say it ain't so, DD.

It was to give free WiFi to all the kids in the North Stand, so they can can check their facebook during the game.

It looked to us like another camera position at first but then we decided it was some sort of crane. We were also wondering. What row in 125 are you on Bluep*ss?

Only after Obi Wan Pellegrini strikes him down with his blue light sabre .

The singer was absolute shite and embarrassing. Also I was hoping that Huge Ferret may have been sack, unfortunately the tosser is still in employment at MCFC

i cringed at that "pre-match entertainment" from those annoying kids to that screeching fucking singer.

who the fuck came up with that.

i'd rather let didsbury dave organise all that shite and i'm being honest.

You could do worse.

I'd sack the fucking lot off. A few videos of old games on the screens whilst everyone but the oddballs are having a beer in the concourse. A tune when the teams run out. A quick rendition of the line ups and shut the fuck up.

Everything is else is just a waste of time. What I earth are these clowns thinking of? Has anyone in the history of football ever gone home and when the wife says "enjoy it love?" Said "yes. Silva had a good game, aguero got a great goal and the Moston Majorettes put on a lovely little routine before the game to 'wake me up before you go go'. Great day".

I can't stand this nonsense idea that people are so shallow, so thick, so lacking that they somehow need alternative entertainment to fill in the gaps around the football match they've paid to see.

And don't get me going on the post match PA discos.Especially that monstrosity after we won the league. If I was the sheikh I'd have had someone's head on a platter for that. When Agadoo came on a small part of me died, even though we'd just won the league. Mike Doyle would have been turning in his grave.

Correct Didsbury Dave.

I got there early last night, the pre-match screen stuff was AWFUL! That bird going round reception asking people where they were from and when they said "Russia" "Poland" "Ireland" "Essex" she was like "do we had any fans from Manchester?"...the same bird shouting down the mic...Mike McLean shouting down the mic...the question directed to Wilson about Joe Hart's mistake for England last week while Joe was warming up...the "Agüerooooooooooooo" thing...the bird singing on the pitch...all just dreadful "entertainment".

The track listing after we won the league was simply Cheese on toast: Aga Do, Sweet Carloine. Do me a favour!

glad they've been taken down, especially that hideous 'were not really here' one. a part of me used to die every time I looked at that. they ended up making the stadium look scruffy. I think if ones were to go back up, they be in fabric. uniteds look a lot more impressive.
