erm no. why would they bother? this is a pretty inconsequential match for us. sorry to shatter your dreams, but they'll be about 4,000 bored looking albion fans at the game wishing they were somewhere else. do you really think watching our lads play a selection of plumbers and cabbies is big draw for us. It isn't. The match will be terrible. We'll win 3.0 and the match will be instantly forgotten about.
By the way, I don't hate United any more than any other top level team really. They're just another giant commercial edifice, no different to Chelsea, Arsenal or whoever. They mean nothing to me either way: I am quite happy to admire them when they play great football or score great goals, and I (unlike a lot of fairly one-eyed individuals) accept that there are literally thousands of their fans who are lifelong supporters and from the greater Manchester area. Chelsea have plenty of fans in Surrey and Sussex but nobody seems to slate them for it. I dislike them when they whinge about refereeing decisions etc, but no more so than any other team. And I don't think they get a disproportionate amount of favourable decisions either: it's merely that (1) they tend to have the ball in key areas more than crap teams, therefore are likely to force mistakes from opponents/officials and (2) they are high profile so every decision they do get is reviewed to the nth degree, which wouldn't be the case if it was Blackpool for example.
So I'm kind of indifferent to them, and I think people who hate United for many of the reasons that usually crop up are simply a tad jealous. I always think it looks a bit small-time when you get fans of clubs outside the Premier League banging on about how much they hate United, when they have absolutely no history of rivalry or grief.
Mate why are you trying so hard to have a normal conversation with this tin pot bunch? To say I'm staggered by their attitude to you and all the other United posters is a massive understatement. The funniest thing for me is the way they keepp dismissing FCUM as insignificant and tiny and the "you're nothing to us" attitude but yet they feel that they have some kind of distant rivalry with United!!
Pity they couldn't sell more than about 15000 tickets for wembley what with being such a big club and everything. This is also the team that averaged 2,300 as recently as 1998, not many more than what FCUM get yet they seem to think they're a massive outfit with 'real' fans, not so real in 1998 eh fellas?
Spoken like a true arrogant Manchester United fan

Real fans? Excuse me whilst I piss myself laughing that a bunch of mancs who have ditched their club lectures us on what a real fan is.

Nothing in there but fact pal and as we like to say up here 'we're not arrogant just better'
Anyone be bothered to give this goon a history lesson?
15,000 at Wembley. That's a good one! And if this preposterous fantasy were true, the fact we outsung ... er ... 80,000 mouthy ManUre mancs would be just a little bit embarrassing, now wouldn't it?
The average away attendance is effectively an average away attendance EVERY home game. More than 100 miles round trip to Priestfield in the opposite end of another county.
Actually I'd say that is f***ing impressive!
And you wonder why we all hate ManUre, Edna?
Oh, and what makes you think we consider your mother club rivals? We don't. Just most of us find your (original) club and fans vile.
