I was there too. I must know you.
On the count of 3 we all start cheering, run around a bit, & then chant "1-0 1-0 1-0 1-0..." That should fool em.

Happy days

The hero of that night was Percy Shaw.

I'm going to cancel my Sky Sports subscription. How easy is it to zoom in during matches?

I just had a look at the City of Manchester Stadium on Google Earth as we are playing there in a few weeks time and it doesn't appear to be built yet. It is a construction site with cranes in place!

Maine Road is still there so maybe we are playing there!

Isn't the image on there about six months old?
Real time i belive, give me the post code of where you are now, go outside and wave up in the air, I'll zoom in and do a 'Print Scrn' then post it on here. (dont worry i'll blur your face out)

Hmmm, no, it's not as at this moment my house is shrouded in fog, whereas on Google Earth it isn't, seems to be summer actually.

Thinking about it, the Mad Stad is normally quite breezy... surely the fog should blow away. Being as there are no surrounding wind shields.

Failing that we could take a portable fan each...

But if we all did that on all four sides of the ground the fog would surely just stay there.

It needs to be organised so that the occupants of just one stand take portable fans to blow it away.

Genius

- use them to suck the fog out of all four sides.

Time to turn this baby on

If the fans can't see the pitch then the game should be postponed.

Looks like it's time to buy them heavy collars so that the dogs don't get blown away...

I've never been so happy that a game was called off before in my life. I had only finished partying a few hours beforehand and was on a major comedown. It hurt to sit still, let alone move anywhere.

I thought they just guessed?

Do they? Damn, that's why I find it so hard running the line at my son's matches!! Shouldn't be trying to do the job properly.

Mind you, it is as quiet as an average Chelsea home game so I can usually hear the contact with the ball!
