What about the hurt if they hadn't rescued us from all the winding up orders when they did, wouldn't that have hurt even more ?

Administration would have been the most likely outcome if they never took control. If I had the choice, I'd take administration and everything that comes with it to retain our tradition![]()
Doubt that's possible now as the Malaysians have racked up so much debt liquidation would be most likely
So my only hope is that there's a decent turnout for the peaceful protest and the Malaysians actually consider returning to blue or at least agree on some sort of compromise. The current red kit and badge makes me want to vomit.

There was a big thread on plastic fans the other day.
Personally all I see is a fellow fan no matter how many games you may make or miss. This 'plastic' tag has been invented to expand the vanity of those who believe they are 'better supporters' due to their claim (without proof) that they have been around longer than most others.
All bollox IMO.

Exactly, and the way i look at it every new fans is a real bonus, isn't that what we are aiming for , thousands of new ones to fill huge stadiums and get behind the boys.
One of the boys down there used to be a patient of mine and ten years ago a big Man United fan, but in all fairness to him, he did actually go to Old Trafford, we always had the banter winding each other up, He is now a City season ticket holder and has been for eight years, I love it and still give him the old Man united crap, He is one of us and loves the club no less and no more than me, a convert and I luvs it.

Didn't affect me that much at all to be honest, kick off times and days were all over the place and the amount of time I was injured (i.E. dropped ) meant I didn't miss out on many, but either way i have seen a good few games, but if it makes you feel beetr you can knock a few years off my total to prove a point.![]()
