was just thinking that with the whole scots/english divide, they would have stayed home and had a party on the streets of glasgow instead of travelling here.

Man United parade off after riots

Manchester United's homecoming parade following next week's Champions League final has been postponed after violence flared in the city on Wednesday.

Police met the club and local authorities on Friday morning and the decision was taken to call off any event until later in the summer.

Manchester City Council confirmed that the riots involving Glasgow Rangers fans had been a factor in the decision.

Manchester United play Chelsea in the final in Moscow next Wednesday evening.

It will be the first time two English teams have met in the final.

'Baying wolves'

A joint statement said: "Manchester City Council, Trafford Council and Manchester United are working with Greater Manchester Police to identify suitable opportunities, given the necessary logistical demands to ensure security and safety, to appropriately celebrate United's achievements this season.

"There will not be a parade immediately following the Uefa final next week but details are being discussed to organize an event which may take place during the summer."

 

 

Opponents Chelsea have also had their plans for a parade affected.

The club wanted to hold a parade on Thursday, the day after the final, if it won, but the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London and local councils said a parade on a weekday evening "would bring severe rush hour disruption and chaos to west London".

Hammersmith and Fulham Council said it had suggested the following Sunday or Monday - a Bank Holiday - as alternatives, but the club has said it will make its position clear if it wins Wednesday's final.

The problems in Manchester came after more than 100,000 Glasgow Rangers fans were in the city centre on Wednesday night to watch the Uefa Cup final with Zenit St Petersburg, held at Manchester City's stadium at Eastlands.

But after Rangers lost 2-0 hundreds of supporters clashed with police. In one instance a mob of more than 200 fans chased after police officers and tripped one of them up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Punishing the ManU fans for, on the rare occasion, something they had no hand in is just cruel. :laugh3: Not going to foster any love between the 2 countries either.

major over-reaction. I've not seen a utd victory parade which kicked off yet

yes it is.. silly.. even it is utd. I do rememebr in 1999 there was no trouble and over a million turned up !

I keep winding up Barca fans and asking them if they are looking forward to play city next season...

At least Barca is in the champs league next season, okay they enter at the 3rd qualifying stage.

 

Man City have to get past 2 qualifying rounds before entering the uefa cup proper
