Next You'll be saying that the reserves have never played at OT and the record attendance for a reserve game of 40k (I think it was) never happened! BTW that was Cantona's return after his little incident with a cockney.
Kosh, who appears to be far more informed than you wrote:According to a post on their official forum, they train at the Carrington complex a few miles from OT.
Maybe they just hold special sessions at OT for the media.
And to think, you are one of those who actually lobbies the point about owning a stake in Hull FC. God forbid the day.
You seem to like living in the past, judging by your by passing of the 1990's and early 2000's with regard to the Boulevard atmosphere.
Since 1998/9. Manchester United have not (on a consistant basis) trained on the Old Trafford Pitch. Their reserves could well have played the odd game their, but as far as I am aware, their reserves, are not the ones who have since lifted the premier league, FA cup, League cup and Champions League. They normally play their games at places like Stockport and Maccelsfield (et al). A little bit like Liverpool use the Halliwell Jones every now and then or that Leeds Untied use Belle Vue from time to time (or they did until very recently.
At what point could you be @r$ed to read the original post without spurting out more drivel? An open training session! Do you think they let them in for nothing? COMMERCIAL REASONS!
If you take your head out of your anus, and read what you put in the first place "we get no home advantage as we are only allowed to train on the pitch once a week", you will realise that training on the pitch is not the home advantage you make it out to be, as the examples of Man Utd (plus other football clubs) proves.
