FERGIE Still Can't Talk About the 1-6 Derby Day Demolition

Angry Ferguson refuses to discuss 6-1 City humiliation

IAN HERBERT – 05 APRIL 2013

Alex Ferguson has refused to discuss Manchester United's 6-1 Old Trafford defeat to Manchester City last season as he prepares for the same fixture, declaring only that he is determined not to let Roberto Mancini's side "derail" the Premier League leaders' title campaign when they meet on Monday.

Ferguson poured scorn on his questioner when he was asked yesterday whether the memory of last season's result – which he described at the time as "our worst ever day, the worst result in my history. Ever" – might be a source of motivation.

"Do you think I'm going to mention that?" Ferguson said, having paused and fixed his questioner with a stare when the subject came up midway through his weekly press conference.

"Do you think...? Jesus Christ."

Asked if extracting motivation from such a defeat was something he was used to trying, he continued: "I can talk about our form this season. I will concentrate on that." He shook his head and the subject was closed.

2 things.

I was there that day Alex and I f***ing loved every second of it. :-) I was even lucky enough to be stood right next to the United fans in the K-Stand. Watching the pain etched on their faces as they drifted off one by one. "It's only 6-1, 60,000 empty seats.....

Once again Ferguson does his usual cowardly tactics of dogging a genuine question in his press conference. No doubt the said reporter will now be banned for daring to ask Ferguson such a question. It happened Fergie, you can't erase it! Man up you..... That match and that day will live with you forever. We will never forget it either.

Finally Brothers. Let's make sure Ferguson and the 74,000 plastics are reminded of that day on Monday night.

Oh! I nearly forgot.

'You're not singing... oh, you were': United draft in audio experts to improve Old Trafford atmosphere

The Reds have been looking at ways of turning up the volume at the Theatre of Dreams after complaints from supporters.

United have drafted in an acoustic engineer to improve the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

The Reds have been looking at ways of turning up the volume at the Theatre of Dreams after complaints from supporters.

They trialled moving away fans in a bid to introduce a singing section but had to admit defeat because of safety and security fears.

However, M.E.N. Sport can reveal that, in a move which is sure to prompt jibes from across the city on the eve of Monday’s derby, the club has contracted a sound specialist to carry out a report on the stadium.

The expert attended the Liverpool match in January and will monitor noise levels at another game before the season concludes.

The findings will then be presented to the Reds’ top brass who will decide what action to take.

It is understood the hiring of the specialist was prompted by fans in the Stretford End.

A Reds’ source said: “There were supporters in the Stretford End who thought they had made a lot of noise only for friends in different parts of the ground to say they couldn’t hear them.”

The club would not say how much they are paying the specialist. However, at a Fans Forum held at their Carrington training ground, they did confirm plans to shift opposition fans had been scrapped.

They trialled the proposals, moving Aston Villa fans from the regular spot in the East Stand to the top tier of the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, last April.

As revealed by the M.E.N. at the time, a scathing report from police chiefs was produced following the exercise.

They highlighted Manchester City’s ‘Poznan’ celebration – where fans turn their backs on the action and jump up and down – as a safety fear as it could cause the steep Sir Alex Ferguson Stand to ‘flex’.

A number of other security issues were also raised.

United did say they do ‘remain committed to moving away supporters from their current location’, although they acknowledge it is a ‘difficult task to find a suitable area without inconveniencing United fans’.

The Fans Forum was attended by a number of Reds season ticket holders.

Chief operating officer Michael Bolingbroke and outgoing chief executive David Gill were also present. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cant-hear-you-manchester-united-2519900" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ed-2519900</a>
