TF Chronicles: From Old Trafford to Belfast
Today at TF Towers I’ve asked Kay to write for you all, she like us all is totally and utterly obsessed by those 11 men in United’s colours. I “met” her through twitter and have had the pure delight to meet her in person and be there with her as she took her first glances and then step inside Old Trafford. Here she tells us of her love for United and her first Manchester United match.
I’m just a baby when it comes to supporting Manchester United. Discovered I’d been sucked into the void that is football in 96′. I hadn’t meant to. In fact had fought against it. Was on in the background as my Man Utd loving husband and his mates watched all the matches at ours. But it got under my skin. Hooked. (More …)
This piece reflects my sentiments exactly
Ive never been an eye for an eye sort of fan when ive been on the terraces. Because it disgusts me when I hear morons calling us Munichs and signing their disgraceful songs, I go the opposite way when it comes to retort. I wont sing about Hillsborough. Not ever. I was stood in a football ground as a child the day it happened. They announced at half time of the match over the tannoy what had happened and that will live with me forever, even though i was a kid. Yes I will sing other songs about opponents that are close to the bone (so to speak) but i dont want anything to do with singing songs about people who died because they liked supporting their football clubs.
