The away support I always fantastic. If we could replicate that at old Trafford it would be the most intimidating ground in Europe.
Prawn sandwich or a tourist selfie anyone?

Ken. You're absolutely right. I used to have a ticket in H stand and I'm one who shout, sing, comments throughout the match. And I kid you not, some idiots near me say that us lot are singing too loud. Wtf? It is people like them that make OT like a library. Totally pathetic. And they never say a word throughout the match. It gets on my nerves big style.
These people are not supporters, they're just out for a jolly. Roy Keane was ridiculed when he came out with the comment, but he was spot on in his appraisal of the ground.
Somehow we have to get these utter plonkers to actually start supporting the team otherwise confiscate their tickets.
Needless to say, the more we're told to be quiet, the louder we sing!

Don't enjoy home games these days, not like I used to, and not even because of the performances, as it never mattered to me hugely. Just to be with thousands of people who felt the same way and loved belting out song after song, was amazing. But away days, totally different. The real supporters, instead of being spread around the ground, are all together in one place and it literally rocks. I need more away days, young family kind of disrupting the travels at the minute.

Always tried to get tickets for away games before home games. Who wants to sit beside a lot of foreign daytrippers? :)

When I finally got to go to Old Trafford for the first time last year, I have to admit I was disappointed with fellow supporters (was still magical seeing the stadium/ players) . I was the only person in my row of seats shouting and singing songs for the whole 90 minutes, the rest of them all sat quietly and showed no passion which was disappointing.
Definitely going to try some away games next season, luckily got myself a full time position after a long apprenticeship so I can now afford to attend at least 1 or 2 games a month now!

To the person who disagreed with my post, I was making a poor effort at being smart. Being a foreigner myself. And usually a day-tripper.
I should maybe have used the term, 'non-Mancs', to avoid anyone taking offence.
