foiled at the swamp

Why not just leave it there?

It shows everyone how small minded and obsessed with us they really are. And everyone knows it's soon going to be irrelevant.

The only reason for stealing it should be so we can put it up at Eastlands after we've won our next cup. It should stand testament to how we stuck by our club through the dark ages. They'd probably give it to us once we've had the open top bus tour.

Leave it up there = sensible

Try and nick it = Proper giggle.

Nick it! Nick it! Nick it! Nick it! Nick it! Nick it! Nick it!

Problem is, I have no doubt if a few of us local Blues went undercover during a game, we'd get recognised in no time. It's the matching shoes that'll be the dead giveaway.

I agree - leave it there. We'll win something very soon then they'll have to take it down.

Then for the next god knows how many years they will have to see "The Top 4 - A Rag Free Zone for xx years" whenever they play at CoMS or we're on the TV in the CL.

why not have a replica made, burn it in front of the cameras and when they produce the original say that theirs is a copy? simples?

Now it can be told. In the summer of 2008 myself and a select band of North Vietnamese tunnelling veterans specially hired for the purpose at great expense, commenced a tunnel from the outfield of Old Trafford cricket ground heading towards the Swamp with the goal of removing the offensive banner. With my expansive middle age girth making access to the tunnel difficult I was to oversee operations from the hallowed home of Lancashire cricket disguised as a heavy roller. It is with great regret I have to inform you that, of the ten ex-Vietcong tunnellers, six were poisoned by LCCC shortly after the commencement of digging when their underground activities were mistaken for an infestation of giant moles on the morning of a 20/20 match against Notts. The other four bravely battled against the odds and carried on. Due to a disastrous miscalculation on my part they came up short, tragically they emerged into Lou Macaris chippy on October 15th, 2009. Here they were put to work peeling spuds until February this year when a joint Immigration/Home OfficeWork and Pensions raid found they had no documentation and they were deported.

They were subsequently deported to the Bishops Blaize not 20yds away from the chippy. The psychops then started and they were forced to listen every other Saturday,with the few occasional mid-week ones, to the self indulgent chants and songs of the great wordsmith and lyricist from Stockport 'Peat Boil'

it's simple get 4 lads in high viz coats wack em on in seperate toilets at full time, once the stand is emptyish take it down and if any1 asks "we have been told by the club to take it into storage as city fans are trying to steal it" then put it into a bin bag and walk out of the ground jobs a good un :)

i am up for this if any1 else is, maybe do it in a league cup game next year or a friendly... it would be even better if we done it the week before we played at old trafford and we had it in the away end and burned it lol
