Five-star reward for green and gold horde

EVEN a cynic like me couldn’t help but be stirred by the swirling display of anti-Glazer green and gold at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The fans deserved their five-goal reward: at last, they had stood up to be counted. Of course, it remains to be seen how many of those happy to take the easy step of putting on some colours will eventually be prepared to take the only step that truly counts — to hit the Glazer income streams.

That means boycotting: at the very least, refusing to purchase any kind of MUFC product, especially in the ground on matchday; and at best, refusing to renew season tickets.
