A Seat In the Crowd

"A Seat in the Crowd" is about travelling the length and breadth of
England and Europe in order to watch Manchester United. It is about
the lifelong journey of two supporters (with the help of one or two
friends along the way) who have been following their club for over 40
years each. A lifetime's support which has enjoyed a renaissance over
the last decade due to the superb management of Alex Ferguson, who
has taken the team, and consequently us too, to heights never before
scaled.


At the start of any season no-one can possibly know the outcome.
Plenty think they do, but that is mere blind faith. It is an
adventure which happens every year and these last few years have been
very special to United supporters and most especially to us. Through
the internet and the Manchester United mailing lists some of us have
found friendship which will last the test of time. Apart from family,
none of us mentioned in this book knew each other four years ago, but
we are now a group of friends who have become an extended family.



"A Seat in the Crowd" is just as much about these people as it is
about the team on the pitch.
