On TV, it was hilarious to see an 80% empty away end with plenty of time still to go and the cameras zoom in on what looked like an Asian day tripper wearing a United shirt with a half & half scarf on!I'm right on yhe barrier with away fans in what is noe 014, Im not here to big up the rags away end but they usually show up as you'd expect for any derby and then we silence them. Completely different feeling to their following today. Day trippers central.
On TV, the U.S. commentary made mention of the Colin Bell Stand bouncing during the Poznan!SS3 started the Poznan
Respect
Utd are shit but what a great result for Ricky
Atmosphere was very decent in SS3 yesterday, really enjoyed sticking it to them, and it was loud.Seemed a great atmosphere at times today
The early leavers when 3-0 up against the rags on a Sunday evening were the only negative. Half empty for team walking round at the end
I have my own personal tram outside and i stayed till the end, so that's no excuse.Atmosphere was very decent in SS3 yesterday, really enjoyed sticking it to them, and it was loud.
The early leaver thing has been discussed to death, I think it's cultural at this stage, absolute habit for many people, no matter what happens on the pitch. But I couldn't believe the scale of departures yesterday, so so many not staying til the end to celebrate a spanking of United, it felt really weird, it was at best 1/4 full when the team took the "ovation" at the end. Maybe we're just too used of success. Not sure if other clubs are different, maybe Arsenal have the most similar vibe.
We had time, so hung out to let the crowd clear, then we saw the metrolink queues which were still about a half mile long. When walking to try and join the back of it, my 9yr old said "I can see why so many people leave early'.
But it feels like many many people would still go early, even if they had a personal Tram outside the gate at full time. Each to their own, do what you want. Looks shit though.
I prefer seeing people leave with a couple of minutes remaining when the game is won, to people going down for a half time pint on 38 minutes when the game is still tight.Atmosphere was very decent in SS3 yesterday, really enjoyed sticking it to them, and it was loud.

There was a fella with his young kid (7 or 8 yo) in 001 who refused to do it. I wonder why??All 4 ends was doing the Poznan.
North stand was good yesterday.
We should do it only when we’re comfortable so 5 or 6 nil for me!On TV, the U.S. commentary made mention of the Colin Bell Stand bouncing during the Poznan!
Also, it feels like there should be a “Poznan trigger” so everyone understands when it should come out.
I’m thinking a 3rd goal when it puts us at least 2 up on the opposition (3-0, 3-1) and ANY goal at Wembley!!!
The thought did cross my mind that we had gone too early!We should do it only when we’re comfortable so 5 or 6 nil for me!
Took me two hours to get home to Ashton. Refused to get on the rammed tram got to the bus stop thinking it won't be that long.......an hour waiting for a 216. Then stuck on Ashton New Road for God knows how long start stop plus bus stops.I went after 2 minutes of the 4 added at the end of the game.
The reason plain and simply is that FUCKING awful METROLINK.

I made the mistake of committing to the bus and watched a near empty tram stop at Clayton Hall.I always walk to where I am going if possible specially when there are crowds of any kind, there again I am fortunate to still be able to not a lot of FOC's are.
Needs sorting.
Wont be sorted.

No big deal, I never do it, my choice, but is great watching it around the ground (obvs can do that facing forward).There was a fella with his young kid (7 or 8 yo) in 001 who refused to do it. I wonder why??
