Pathetic.
You'll be lighting a candle for the lost income next.

If the little raggies didn't want to pay the going rate they always had the option of Burnden Park (which had a 70,000 capacity at the time) or elsewhwere.

As for the floodlights trafford didn't have them before the bombing so they didn't need replacing.
