Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
And the reds go marching on, on, on.
Just like the Busby Babes in Days gone by
We'll keep the Red Flags flying high
You've got to see yourself from far and wide
You've got to hear the masses sing with pride
United! Man United!
I went to see the Manchester United vs Malaysia XI on Saturday, 18th July 2009. A bit dissapointed that I couldn't go for the Monday's rematch but I heard there it was a bit boring, so yeay!!!
Drove to KL on Friday and went straight to National Stadium Bukit Jalil for the training. It was quite packed with red devils, around 40,ooo (estimated in newspaper). Sat in the stadium around 4.30pm, and was puzzled why has Team Malaysia started training. They were supposed to start at 6.30pm. I think it was a scam so that everyone who come earlier to watch man utd trains had to see Malaysian team first ehhehe
On Saturday, started my journey to the stadium around 3pm. Man, the place was packed! couldn't find a parking spot so went further up to Carrefour area and managed to get a parking spot by the road side. Had to walk for 20 mins i reckoned in blazing hot weather! My seat was at the green gate, the lower level were all full by 4.30pm!!! heard that some crazy fans waited since morning ehehe. Had to settle with seat at the upper level, with direct sunlight for 2 hours!!! PANAS NAK MAMPOS! ehhee
Nevertheless it was a good seat as i could see the players quite clearly. It was a good game and the best was the atmosphere. So many red devils (some even painted their whole body red!) so many funny banner & placards. Amri Yahyah goals were really the highlight of the game!!! Malaysia Boleh!!!
This was definitely highlight of the year (maybe my wedding will top it off ehehhee). Never dreamed of seeing Man Utd live!!! Next stop, Old Trafford!!
