@ChrisGill95 on “X”: Hey Phil. Did you get wet at “The Theatre Of Streams” yesterday? Apparently OT houses the fourth biggest waterfall in the UK. Shows how far United have fallen on and off the pitch.
Thanks for your concern, Chris. Yes, I did thanks but not inside the stadium only on the walk to the car afterwards.
It was a genuinely extraordinary storm, with a month’s worth of rain falling in two hours, so this was a very unusual set of circumstances.
What it did confirm, however, was the sorry state of some areas of Old Trafford and how it has been allowed to fall into a very poor state of disrepair, with footage of water pouring though a leak in a roof inside the stadium.
It would have been a real embarrassment to new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has already made his displeasure at facilities clear, and will only strengthen his resolve to do something about it with a new stadium a matter on his agenda.
