Having gone through this experience before, you have my greatest sympathy.
You won't be able to see the top tier of the East stand, you won't be able to see the top tier of the west stand. You won't be able to see the screen. You will think Ali Lauatiti and Jamie Peacock are about 2ft and 3 stone. It will take you around 10minutes to walk up the stairs.

When you go up there, you will think "I'm up with the Gods here". Well, let me tell you, you are. When you get outside after the game walking with everyone else, you will feel inferior again and you would wish you had looked down on the planes when you were up there. Well you wouldn't have anyway because of the stupid roof.

Have a nice day.

did I say you could sit in my seat?

I fully expect that by the time we get down from the stand after the game the streets of Old Trafford will be empty and everyone will be safe at home enjoying a cup of celebratory cocoa

I'm setting off soon, we have to have our team of ropemen in place before noon to make a first attempt at the stairs.

dare say i'll bump into you at some point

Right guys.

I'm setting off in half an hour, just the usual shower, 5hit and shave to do.

Safe journey everyone, lets raise the roof and do our bit.

Destiny awaits.

is that a fat joke??

Can I just say that the mist has more or less burnt away now and the sun is out.

Look out theres a red mist comin!!!

You do know that James Graham is unlikely to be reading this, maybe you need to let the Leeds players tell him around 6:01 this evening...

That count for us in the vee an' all?

Of course.

Good, lets hope the sun stays for the rest of the day I don't fancy getting soaked like last year again!

I shall also be doing the rain dance again on Matt Busby Way about 4pm. It worked last year

Was that a bite?

Not really, having seen the other posts you have put on here today, clearly you were joshing.

and having been interviewed you did look bloody gorgeous matt
