Just made a thread mentioning they are in fact a Salford club. We need to keep creating threads mentioning it as they will be coming on here expecting us to be really excited we are playing them, we need to make it clear we couldnt give a f@ck about them and we see Salford Utd as our best chance to get to the final.

We had to play Maidstone, that was a challenge, but we now have an easy game against Salford Rags, a team that wants to be from Manchester . 3-1 simms brace

Maidstone have fans from Maidstone. The Salford club are a bit like V@lla, nobody from the city they wish they were from supports them.

Hate to be a pedant but Old Trafford is in Trafford which has never been in Salford. Wrong side of the ship canal.

Deep breaths.....

IF Man City win the league (still a way off) and we somehow manage to get past United, regardless of the score in the final,

WE WOULD BE PLAYING IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE NEXT SEASON

How f**kin' mental is that ?

Last year it took about 2 weeks for ticket details for semi finalists to be announced and tickets on sale a week after that.

This is the reason Bury went bump . Instead of supporting the team where they are from they just jumped on the band wagon . The tide has changed and now Citeh are the big boys £££ , where have they been all these years ?

I hate City, I find on the whole their fans are more likely to sneer at somebody like Cov oddly enough

Also Salford Cathedral is on Chapel Street by the bend in the irwell near peel park

It’s best to at least nominally accept that there is a game in between which they need to win rather than risk looking like an absolute tit. Though in his case that doesn’t apply

Cool story, doesn't make Trafford anymore part of Salford. It wasn't when I lived there and it isn't now.

You're clearly merry so if you want to crack on with the utter delusion old Trafford is in Salford then crack on.

Nope, one is a city run by it's own council and the other is a borough that includes the area of Old Trafford and the towns of Altrincham, Stretford, Urmston, Partington and Sale and is run by it's own council.

When I lived there, Trafford was not part of Salford. it isn't part of Salford now no matter how you pretend it is or how badly you get the location of Salford Cathedral wrong.

You can keep up your frankly weird delusion ll you want, it's going to change where old Trafford is.

The Trafford borough council , The city of Salford are 2 different things . I’ve lived here 37 years , my wife (50) and from Salford . I’m sure she is not wrong !
