Damned United

Well the first part of Altrincham's pre-season double-header against Manchester United/FC United of Manchester didn't end how we'd've liked. I can only imagine that the kids who invaded the pitch a) can't handle their beer b) have never been to a pre-season friendly before c)weren't aware that their team were 3-0 up or d) have an attention span of 85 minutes and went on the pitch out of sheer boredom.

There were apparently some disgraceful scenes prior to the game, of which I was blissfuly unaware in the bar, but you'd think that that would have prepared the stewards for what came later.

Alty's Fan Forum is currently running a heated debate over whether the dickheads were United "fans" or FCUM "fans" but either way it doesn't bode well for Tuesday's match.
