Lads lads lads,
My girlfriend's brother is a season ticket holder at United. He's not going to the Villa game coming up on 16th April and I've been allowed to use his tickets for the game. Awesome. First game ever at Old Trafford and I'm in the Stretford End.
My initial issue, however, is that I have the fucking poshest southern accent. Can anyone envisage this being an issue? Other than the usual comments on being a posh twat and a shandy drinker.
Secondly, I'll need educating in the common chants the Stretford Enders go for. Now, I'm aware of plenty of them but don't know the exact words of most, it's hard to get exposed to that via television and radio. I'll sound like a colossal knob singing them while sounding like Prince William, but I want to give it a go. Can't be silent in the Stretford End.
Any help appreciated!
Apologies mods if this is the wrong place for it

You'll be fine. Its a broad mix in there now.
And not as fierce as it used to be.

Thanks for that. I often hear We Are the Busby Boys, Georgie Best, We'll Never Die and obviously the standard "United, United, United" or "Attack, attack, attack" chants but while I've heard of some of the others, I've never heard them sung. |

I am quite 'home counties' and I have never had any problems whatsoever. You could speak Latin with an Australian accent and they'd still take your money...
(Not that you have paid for your seat!)

I know, I'm such a scrounger. I think I might buy something from the megastore to make up for it, my last United shirt was the black away one from the 07/08 season. |

Get a scarf from one of the stalls. Just as you come round the corner on Trafford Wharf Road, opposite the chip vans and 'fancy chip vans. White guy with a stupid Bo-Jack haircut and sparse facial hair schilling half and half scraves to tourists with a disgusted look on his face. He has the best United scarves around. |

Yeah, that wasn't a dig at you for not ploughing money into the club. The megastore is shit. Stay away! |

Apologies mods if this is the wrong place for it Last time I've been at OT was at the Stretford End during Moyes, no problems at all with my accent, and I am a foreigner. Also, no signs of disrespect towards others were noticed by me. Second, on the chants, you can download an app called fan chants, there are over 600 ones of United, the most popular ones can be listened with the words, and the bonus is that they're recorded on the stadium. I always listen to them as a form to get closer. Stretford End arising, United Road, The u n i t e d, hello hello we are the busby boys, we will never die, red army, player and taunting chants are very common as well. Unlike most teams around Europe, I've observed adults opted for regular clothes and red and white scarves. I was there in January though. Not sure if it makes a difference. You're not a clueless supporter, but the opposite of it. When you chant altogether, you just do it, your mind won't be worried anymore. Do your part as an United fan and sing your heart out without any sort of fear. Have a good time  |

Eat well before you go into the ground. Unless of course you enjoy sub standard food for ridiculous prices.

"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
