You do realise that 3,000 City fans - y'know, the ones that actually bother attending City matches rather than watching them on telly, those City fans - enter Old Trafford at least once every year don't you?

It's not really that big a deal.

I'm not a lover of the ground's owners, but I've been inside it plenty of times.

so have I.
Get me more hours in the week, more money in my bank account, less ear-ache of the Mrs, and I'd follow City far and wide.
Alas, there isn't, so I don't.

Oh, wait a minute. I've posted it and you don't like me. Ho hum.
