Half and Half scarves only use to be done for major European games home and away as souvenirs which is fair enough, now you have clueless fans there for a day out and a corporate freebie walking into the local pubs with a liver bird on their scarf (seen it in Sams, the guy was absolutely clueless as to why he had it taken off him and burnt in front of him), things like this have killed the atmosphere, the club preferring those kind of fans to the hardcore working class, the club has gone from treating fans as supporters who spend their hard earned cash following a team to treating them like clients, your simply a number now, if you go your replaced, they don't care how long you've followed them, how much you have spent going home and abroad, hardcore fans have stopped going because the club have stopped caring about them, feels like your following a corporation now rather than a football team and why spend thousands of your hard earned money when if you say one thing out of line, or stand up for two long, or celebrate to much, your binned out of the ground and banning orders threatened etc.
The club is going the way the club wants, which is becoming more of a tourist site than a football club.
Hate to say it but it is what the club want, are gearing towards and it's happening, atmosphere is currently at an all time low, midweek games are now only 80% full as "day trippers" can't make the journey midweek, so many empty seats midweek and the club ask why, well thats why, careful what you wish for United you might just get it.
I know you go quite a few games
@jsp, do you think thats right, not sure you feel on it mate, I have stopped going to OT, they rang me asked me why I gave up my season ticket and they got told the above.
