Dont ever let facts get in the way of the old myth about Manchester being blue.
The council refusing us a parade for the CL and League double... AGENDA
That will be because it's in Manchester where OT isn't

That 12k included the fans at the Swamp you bitter little moron. The parade finished at Stretford Arndale. There was no one inside your poxy, atmosphere-free stadium.redissue said:12k fans in the centre of manchester turned up.

And if we hadn't opened the stadium, those 30,000 people inside would have been on the streets.
"20,000 empty streets. Are you fucking sure?"
OK Bluemooners - fill yer boots with this one.

To be fair it is yet another abysmal 'story' from the rag that is the MEN, yesterday's laughable one about the vermin pinching 'our' date for a possible parade was even worse.
They have more people who say they support them in the Manchester but the overwhelming majority of them are followers rather than supporters who don't attend games yet don the shirts and head for their local every time they are on and so with these plastics they should easily get bigger numbers at parades, deep down in their hearts of hearts these easy option taking lemmings who pack out the boozers don't care about 'nited and know very little about 'their' club it's basically reflected glory.

To be fair the police always under estimate these things by a third.
So 16k rags at their parade? Seems reasonable to me.
Quite where Sky got 200k from is beyond me.

This beaut on the MEN website:
And they call us bitter!
Typical lies from the Manchester Evening Blues. An article written by the most of bitter of blues for all bitter blues in what has no doubt been a crushing week as United were once again crowned champions. I mean, really, is this the best that you can do to try and diminish United's achievements, Mr Keegan? I despair.
OK, on behalf of United supporters i'll expose the lies and put a few facts out there:
Firstly, the headline is misleading. It states that city had "five times the turnout" - they simply did not. The numbers on the streets were actually identical. I work in Manchester, and the crowd was two deep from Albert Square to Eastlands for the whole of the route, with simply the same 8,000 supporters who were in Albert square walking after the bus. city's figures are only boosted when you include those who were inside Eastlands and who were therefore not part of the actual parade itself.
United didn't have the luxury of a reception at Old Trafford. If they had, it's a knocking bet that their turnout would have far exceeded city's. Secondly, United's parade started at 10 o'clock in the morning, rather than city's evening affair. In addition to this, over 30,000 United supporters had still yet to return from that weekend's Champions League final. And that's without mentioning the atrocious weather conditions.
This newspaper always has, and always will be, heavily biased towards city. If this piece of 'journalism' was ever going to be worth reading, there should have been a comparison between city's 2011 parade and United's in 1999 (which GMP stated that over 750,000 supporters attended) surely proving that United have more than ten times as many supporters in Greater Manchester as city do.
If it's comparisons you want then let's see how many attend United and city's parades this year, now that the playing field is level and United have an evening parade once more.
But then why would 'Manchester' city (the club that was formed OUTSIDE of OUR city) or the Manchester Evening Blues ever let facts get in the way of the truth? 'Manchester' city - the whole club is built on lies.
And they call us bitter!

You don't play in Manchester, so try asking fucking Trafford Council if you can have a parade down Chester Road, you mouth breather.
You haven't played in Manchester since you upped sticks from Newton Heath 100 years ago to avoid paying a £40,000 tax debt to Manchester Council, you scheming scumbags.
That's why you have some stupid fucking troll on your badge, instead of the Manchester coat of arms.
Now fuck off - that tragedy won't milk itself.
