| 0:00.0 | 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. |

| 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. |
