The Victory Parade (Merged)

[Metal Biker]

How many turned out?

Press say 100,000, but it was so much more, at least 150,000.

 

[Swales lives]

How many turned out?

3 million, all dressed as grim reapers carrying RIP Fergie banners.

They've basically turned into red dipper fans in 24 hrs

Amazing scenes

How many turned out?

I heard the whole of Stockport turned up!

BBC North West 22:30 news said there were 100,000. But there's no way they actually know, they've just guessed at that figure.

Got back from the parade. Was in Albert Sq and saw the parade at junction of Oxford St and Portland St and Quay St and Deansgate.

Was very professional job from Danny, Nat Pike and Hugh Ferris at Albert Sq with a mixture of guest appearances and web-site content. I liked the Opera singers.

Wasn't expecting big crowds because it was short notice but seemed to be a lot more than the FA Cup parade

We got there about 4pm but the bro in law and others couldn't get into AS from around 4.30pm.... I liked the Opera singers, even had a little chortle at Manford & Warren Clarke.

Who were the singers?

It still doesn't compare.

Now I'm confused. I've just scrolled back 20 pages of outrage about Tevez putting up a bad taste sign about Fergie dying - but it seems he's not dead?

Yes of course he's sour . They just lost title on goal difference . They are gutted .And their pride came before they fell ! But that does not mean we have to stoop to their base , dirty , vengeful , spiteful and low class -type manner. We are champions and are bigger ! it's very easy to be spiteful and bitter . Much harder to stay above it . That is what must define who we are : bigger and better . And that's what we are going to show over the next few years

Here you go pal......

For those of you who are whinging about the banner, just think of all of the shit you/me/we've had to put up with for 30+ years prior to last year. Think of all the piss taking, think of all the 'City the joke that just keeps giving' comments, County are your derby comments, Liverpool are our biggest game comments, noisy neighbour comments, NOT IN MY LIFE TIME comments, getting laughed at for playing in the fucking Auto Glass Windows trophy, getting laughed at for being in division 3, Robson's comments, City a small club 34 years banner etc etc.

Once you've pondered all of the pain & suffering & piss taking you've put up with, come on here & tell the world that is a fucking ace banner.

If you don't you're surely either a red of a proper fucking do gooder.

Kick them whilst their down cos that's exactly what they did to us/me/you & our club.


So please tell me you're just some fucking do gooder & not a fucking rag. Surely revenge is a dish served very cold & this May has been fucking freezing.

Kick those bastards whilst you can cos it's been a long time coming.

Wouldn’t it be strange if 1000's of us had a similar banner at the C Sheild,
Now I’m not recommending this of course
But not in my lifetime, we could always have subtitles for people who think irony is what you do with laundry

Rags opened a thread where they're saying it was 20,000 people, and putting videos of 99' parade. ROTFL

City - "The club wishes to express its sincerest apologies to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United for any offence or distress caused."

Very good decision imo to knock it on the head early and not start getting caught up on semantics and technicalities related to the 'not in my lifetime quote'. You don't have to look far back at the Suarez issue to see how these things can snowball. It'll be a non-story in a couple of days this way and regardless it just looks better to apologise.
