David gives us the insider view on surviving the all-important Manchester United V Manchester City derby. This video clip is filmed at Old Trafford, and gives us a view of his experience of the September 2016 derby game. He suggests you get yourself a reasonably-priced snack outside the ground, not inside - once in the stadium, the prices at the kiosks will be much higher. David also takes a small radio with him, in tandem with decent sports headphones. This allows him to follow the flow of play alongside the tremendous noise and excitement generated by a cheering, chanting, crowd. He discovers that no selfie sticks are now allowed in the ground - security is tight for all the obvious reasons. It turns out to be a tremendous game, and afterwards, Dave is hoarse with shouting. United lost, but he does at least have the comfort of having seen some fine football. He was in the South Stand, and the stadium was pretty much full to capacity - over 75,000 people. Tickets had been changing hands in the week prior to the match for around £700. He’s found a website that he considers to be more reliable than many of their competitors in providing reasonably-priced tickets - he suggests you message him if you want further information.
