Just got in, so excuse me if I've missed something. Is this a fucking wind up?

It's not going to be in the pitch surely? I'd assumed it was outside the Mega store on the forecourt. Big space, that.

That would make more sense. Surely the local businesses would object to the noise?

Will the Cars not cause untold damage to their usually immaculate playing surface ?

Apparently, they are only allowing tractors in. They're hoping to plough up the potatoes they have growing there on the cheap.

They are now transforming the swamp into a "drive in cinema"over the Christmas period............DESPERATE.

£26 per car.

This is going to go down like a led balloon, but isn't this the type of thing that we should looking at?

They might be shit on the pitch but commercially wise they can get squeeze profit out of anything.

With FFP and all that entails surely we should thinking about non football related activities that can open up to a new audience and range of people.

Just a thought.

I feel dirty complementing them but needs must... *douses in bleach whilst awaiting rag comments*

yes..they can squeeze profit out of anything,inc the munich air disaster.
no, we should not aspire to be morally bankrupt like them.

If it's anything like Route 66 near the Trafford Centre then all the car engines will be turned off and the sound is played through the car radio, so it wouldn't make much noise.

Do you mean just like a normal match day?

Engine turned off = heater turned off in any car I've ever been in.
In December? An hour and a half of training your kids on how to survive an air crash in the Andes sounds more enticing.

Fucking hell:

There will be three screenings daily, preceded by live family-friendly entertainment at the stadium and in-car karaoke, plus a team of elves will be rewarding boys and girls with surprise gifts

In car karaoke? Isn't that just having your radio on?
I bet the surprise gifts will be from the vast warehouse of unsold tat those cunts have from the club shop.

For once i'm hoping the Daily Express headlines about a Siberian winter next month are right.

Let me get this straight. You pay to sit in a car park using your own fuel and battery to watch a film whilst some poor sods on workfare are freezing their baubles off comes round wearing psychologically damaging work clothes,selling or giving you tat by knocking on your car windows thus using more fuel because you're letting heat out?

Their ever more desperate and bizarre attempts at generating income are just so cringeworthy... They're like the Del Boy of the premier league.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

The Rats are starting to eat themselves...

Former Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty has offered a withering assessment of Radamel Falcao’s troubles with his fitness, claiming the striker is so prone to injury that he would break down on A Question of Sport.

Falcao has made only three starts from Manchester United since his exorbitant loan move from Monaco in the summer transfer window, last making a substitute appearance in the draw with West Brom on October 20.

The 28-year-old will be unavailable for both of Colombia’s friendly encounters over this international break as he continues his rehabilitation from a long-standing knee complaint, while Louis van Gaal has indicated that Falcao could return to face Arsenal.

Falcao’s is just one of a spate of injuries that have served as a great frustration for Van Gaal as he strives to find some consistency with his Manchester United side, but Docherty does not believe this is the only reason for such a slow start.

Docherty, who presided over 228 games as the club’s manager, claims Van Gaal has attempted too much too soon, while feels the Dutchman is not being adequately supported by his high-profile acquisitions - Falcao included.

“Injuries have not been kind to him, but I fear that Van Gaal will run out of money before he runs out of players if he is preparing another buying spree in January,” Docherty told Goal.com

“He has made too many changes, too quickly. Of course he has had more than his fair share of injuries to the squad, but the big money additions should be the finished article, and that is not what we are seeing.

“Angel Di Maria should be the best player in the Premier League, but he’s only impressed in glimpses, and as for Falcao, well he’d get injured on Question of Sport.”

KNEE TROUBLE

Falcao is struggling to fully overcome issues related to the cruciate ligament damage he suffered playing for Monaco in January - an injury that resulted in him missing out on Colombia’s World Cup squad.

After making his return to full training during pre-season, Falcao made only four competitive appearances before Manchester United move to recruit him on a loan deal, which could become a permanent £43 million transfer.

But his knee troubles may prevent this from happening. It has been claimed that the player requires an ice pack on his knee after every training session and match as a precaution against any further problems.

He has, however, responded to such speculation, tweeting on Monday about “fools” inventing stories about him.

We've been to the drive in cinema 3 times in the last year. It's the only way that we can go to the cinema with the baby without having to get a sitter. I love it coz you can still chat between yourselves without disturbing anyone. We never bother with the ordering food and drink, just stock up at Tesco on the way there and the jobs a good'un.

My one critique of route 66 is the type of films they pick. Mostly action ones.

We should start a thread on what films they should show:

Demolition Derby
(sick) Swan Lake
Out Of Time
Silva Linings playbook
