At last match day arrives Iain is totally geared up. The whole city is covered in black and red ….United everywhere quite annoying for the real fans who have travelled. A bit of a reshuffle on who is attending the game. Due to injuries Lorraine is out and Pauric is in, though he claims to have a big presentation the next day, no mercy was shown.
The pre match banter was great all the pubs a mixture of both sides of fans all chatting and drinking together. John once again stepped up with his hand made artwork providing all with banners which we distributed to other fans 
He is a star ……I hope his boss doesn’t read this ! We had a good laugh at Rory photobombing the United fans with our banners.
Off to the game, the Optus Stadium is about 2 years old and pretty impressive, much to Iain’s annoyance amenities were really good which meant people were up and down all the time 😡 “not proper football this ” he grumbled
Still he made some friends on the way. This guy was from Argentina 
The game build up was like the opening ceremony for the Olympics very impressive. We were surrounded by United fans all from everywhere but Manchester, as Iain points out when he chants ” clap your hands if you are from Singapore ” a good job they couldn’t understand his accent ! 
Well you all know how the score went, even ” Fred the Red” United’s mascot goaded the Leeds fans much to his peril ( check it out on Twitter it’s quite funny ) never mind Iain managed to convert one little girl behind us to the white side. 
Off to drown our sorrows Iain led the way in singing and chanting getting everyone in the pub to join in much to everyones amusement, he must be all over social media as all the locals were filming 
What better way to end the evening than with an Uber and a kebab 
One game down and one to go
