Man United parade off after riots

Manchester United's homecoming parade following next week's Champions League final has been postponed after violence flared in the city on Wednesday.

Police met the club and local authorities on Friday morning and the decision was taken to call off any event until later in the summer.

Manchester City Council confirmed that the riots involving Glasgow Rangers fans had been a factor in the decision.

Manchester United play Chelsea in the final in Moscow next Wednesday evening.

It will be the first time two English teams have met in the final.

'Baying wolves'

A joint statement said: "Manchester City Council, Trafford Council and Manchester United are working with Greater Manchester Police to identify suitable opportunities, given the necessary logistical demands to ensure security and safety, to appropriately celebrate United's achievements this season.

"There will not be a parade immediately following the Uefa final next week but details are being discussed to organise an event which may take place during the summer."

Opponents Chelsea have also had their plans for a parade affected.

The club wanted to hold a parade on Thursday, the day after the final, if it won, but the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London and local councils said a parade on a weekday evening "would bring severe rush hour disruption and chaos to west London".

Hammersmith and Fulham Council said it had suggested the following Sunday or Monday - a Bank Holiday - as alternatives, but the club has said it will make its position clear if it wins Wednesday's final.

The problems in Manchester came after more than 100,000 Glasgow Rangers fans were in the city centre on Wednesday night to watch the Uefa Cup final with Zenit St Petersburg, held at Manchester City's stadium at Eastlands.

But after Rangers lost 2-0 hundreds of supporters clashed with police. In one instance a mob of more than 200 fans chased after police officers and tripped one of them up.

Pc Mick Regan was kicked, punched and stamped on as officers were pushed back by fans hurling bottles.

Assistant Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Justine Curran, described the fans as being "like a pack of baying wolves".

Riot police were deployed after a city centre big screen failed and several arrests were made.

Eleven supporters have since been charged with criminal offences.

The charges include public order offences, assault and throwing a missile.

'Shambolic' organisation

A further 11 Rangers fans who were arrested have been bailed pending further inquiries.

Twelve Rangers fans arrested were cautioned, and seven men, including one Zenit St Petersburg fan, were released without charge.

Manchester City Council have already said the Champions League final would not now be shown on big screens in Manchester.

Ex-Manchester United player Albert Scanlon, one of the famous "Busby Babes" team of the 1950s, said thousands of United fans would be "gutted" and blamed the police and council's "shambolic" organisation of the Rangers final.

Mr Scanlon, who will be going to the final, said: "All they're doing is punishing their own people for their own mistakes. It wasn't the people of Manchester's fault what happened on Wednesday. It was shambolic.

"It is all down to their own mistakes with Rangers which has condemned the United fans out of hand.

"If we win, the only place you will be able to see the cup is at Old Trafford, but not everyone can be there."


Also No Big Screen TV's To Watch The Final

The minority of those Rangers fans who caused all the trouble should be ashamed of themselves, I've now got to explain to my little boy that we cannot go and see the celebrations now.

I hope next season Rangers get relegated and banned from other European competitions.

There is a rumour that MCC are gonna ask Ranger's FC to pay for the clear up and damage, someone should not the MCC Council tax payer.
As for the big screens, even as a bitter blue, it's a shame you cannot all watch it en masse, maybes contact Glasgow CC and ask could you watch it up there

No, society has hooligans. You don't need to wear a football shirt to cause chaos and carnage but it's the pack mentality and safety in number's that more football orientated. I've been caught up in carnage like this when it kicks off, in Dam Square during Euro 2000, after the In-ger-land vs Germany game, not fun at all, esp when you get separated from your mates

Looks like the council are changing their tune - a bbc report said this a day ago
"City officials have insisted only a small proportion of the huge number of fans in the city were responsible for the disturbances and said the vast majority were peaceful."
Now they are calling it a riot.......

Nice of you to solely blame the Rangers fans, and then post this.......

:
Ex-Manchester United player Albert Scanlon, one of the famous "Busby Babes" team of the 1950s, said thousands of United fans would be "gutted" and blamed the police and council's "shambolic" organisation of the Rangers final.
Nice to see that not everyone is listening to the English media and Manchester's scapegoating of Rangers FC.

BTW

If you didnt want a mess, maybe you should have provided facilities like bins and toilets for the fans.
ANd they can pay for it with the money they made from hotels, alcohol local public transport charges etc etc.
They made £25Million from it, why on Earth do you think they herded all the fans into the City Centre where all the pubs etc are ??
Every other city would/and usually do, try and get them out somewhere in the open, parks and the likes, not in the middle of a city.

They are changing their tune, as they are deflecting blame from themselves for a total lack of planning and the brutality of their police.
