Summary

#294. The last time United faced Saint-Etienne the Red Army had a penchant for smashing up European cities and the Cup Winners Cup was still a thing. The glory days, the 1970s. Time has moved on and although Reds will behave far better at Old Trafford on Thursday and in France next week, the club is still participating in second rate European tournaments. Also on the pod this week Ed & Paul look back on United's solid victory over Watford at Old Trafford, with the Reds back in the hunt for Champions League qualification. There's the usual range of questions from listeners, a preview of the aforementioned game against Les Verts, and the FA Cup fixture with Blackburn Rovers. No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.

The So, Ed how you doing? I'm very good. Thanks you. Yeah I'm good. Thank you. I was standing in the scoreboard paddock the the endangered scoreboard

0:37.0

paddock for the Watford game there were a few people with a few signs held up. I counted one long banner and four bits of A4, not exactly

0:49.8

a unified protest. Pretty sure, wouldn't swear to this, pretty sure that the

0:55.1

singing section started singing no one gives us stuff, no one no one gives us

1:00.0

stuff, I might have changed lyrics lyrics there slightly when that protest went up, but I might be wrong

1:06.9

about that. Yeah, it's a pretty dumb protest. Yeah, the argument that I've heard a few times is that the that you're losing a bit of

1:16.3

atmosphere if you lose that bit of the ground and that is an argument that holds absolutely

1:21.5

no weight because although it was standing all the way through in a game where United played pretty well.

1:27.0

I mean, okay, not a big game, but you know, put on a bit of a show.

1:31.0

There was next to no noise from that bit of the ground all the way through.

1:35.8

You're saying people in wheelchairs can't make some noise?

1:38.0

Well no but that's what that's what people are saying because it's a you know it's obviously a more

1:41.4

disparate grouping when you're in terms of the physical space,

1:47.6

but they're not going to make any less noise than was being made in that scoreboard

1:52.1

paddock. I mean the argument that the seats are cheap is a good

1:55.2

argument and it's not hard to be cynical about United is it? True yes although it's you know, ticket prices are making up a smaller and smaller proportion

2:06.9

of United's overall revenue anyway, so it's part of the reason why when they announced

2:11.6

the 17-18 season ticket prices this week.

2:14.8

They froze ticket prices again for what, 6th or 7th year in a row.

2:18.4

So in terms of the actual impact on the bottom line, it's very small to freeze them now.

2:24.0

You know, we know exactly what the glazers did when it was important to them

2:29.1

to have ticket prices higher when it was actually a substantial part of United States revenue. Anyway, anyway, we're
