There's no way we would have had a parade on the Monday IF we do end up winning the FAC because we play the very next day away at Reading. We waited until the 23rd May (final was 14th May) two years ago because we were playing Stoke that midweek.

IF we do win the FAC we should definitely have a parade though. Make it the week after the final Prem game like we did in 2011.

My thoughts exactly we have Reading away the day after the team wont be having any parade on the Monday if we win the cup.

Would they even bother going back to Manchester in between?

Probably with the short train Journey they might well do. Not like 1997 when we played Away at Ipswich on the Tuesday and Norwich on the Friday was pointless coming back then.
 
Not sure there would be such a good turnout this time if we do win it.

I agree with the last game of season idea.

Be interesting to see what the turnout would be at Wembley for the community shield if we win as it will be 3rd visit in months and 6th visit in 3 years.

We do seem to have picked up a lot of new fans in the last 2 years though so maybe they would fill a few spaces.
 
We have to win the fucking thing first.

Wigan are a decent little side on their day and it wont be a walkover.

True, Wigan beat Everton 3-0 at Goodison and you would have to go back to 1906 to have seen City do that.

Listen although it is extremely petty and arrogant to have a title victory parade even before the season has finished says it all about that club and the majority of its' supporters - wonder what other clubs' fans think of this move?

I have never heard of this being done before the season ends.

Believe you me it is calculated - I take it as a compliment - we have come this far that they have to have this straight after a 'potential' FA Cup victory for us.

We have really got under their skin - all this and the murmurings of Rio at al will come back to haunt them in the future - play the long game people.

Echo this. The desperate attempt to usurp us, we should embrace this as its proof they are fixated on everything Manchester City. I always find it laughable that despite the fact they cannot use Manchester Town Hall as a starting point that they still deem it necessary to parade down Deansgate instead of through Trafford. It seems United need Manchester more than Manchester needs United.

With regards to this , you have to blame the city council ..... it's they who have apparently handed the rags a 'choice' of parade dates ..... United may well have chosen one of them 'deliberately' in an attempt to wind up City , and its supporters , but they really shouldn't have been given the May 13th option in the first place!

If the rags had of wanted an early parade , before the seasons closure , then why couldn't they have gone for May 6th , a bank holiday .... if it was offered ????

They're guaranteed the trophy now anyway , so what difference does it make when they're presented with it ?

And that date would have been almost a week before our cup final takes place.

___________________________________________

From todays MEN ...

United bosses were handed a series of potential dates for a parade and have opted for May 13. The Reds will be presented with the league trophy after their home match against Swansea the previous day. But the parade will be held six days before they play their last game of the season at West Brom.

They have won the league now, why shouldn't they have a list of dates for a parade?

Had City have been in that position then no doubt we would have had the same options. Deal with it!

City would never have chosen the date that the Rags have chosen, will we even have a parade?
 
If we do win the cup I wouldn't have a parade if it were up to me. Wait until we win the title back.
