United Fans to Turn Old Trafford into Seat Sit-in…
In a move that sounds more like a game of musical chairs gone wrong, the Manchester United fan group has announced a protest that’s got ‘seat’ written all over it! The plan, cleverly dubbed ‘United United Day,’ took shape during a lively gathering at FC United of Manchester’s Broadhurst Park. Instead of a conga line, fans are being encouraged to keep their behinds firmly planted in seats post-derby this coming weekend.
The motivation? Rising ticket prices at Old Trafford have some devoted season ticket holders clutching their wallets tighter than their chants. Rumor has it, “high value” hospitality seats will soon gobble up what were once the faithful spots of lifelong fans. Chris Haymes from The 1958 group assured everyone: “Sit tight! It’s your seat, and they aren’t getting it without a fight! Imagine a stadium full of unmovable fans – now that’s how you really pack a stadium!”
Steve Crompton, another voice from The 1958, argued that this protest might take more coordination than trying to organize a Mexican wave. But they’re committed! So, feel free to join the seated revolution post-derby, folks, as these fans cling to history and seats—one game at a time!
