It’s funny to think that I worked at MUTV for 6 years, but today was the first time I’ve actually seen a Premiership match for real! I’d been at Old Trafford loads of times during games, but always in the depths of the stadium, with thousands of fans above me!
The reason I got to see a match is that I’ve recently been doing some camera work for Channel M, and I was down at the City Of Manchester stadium for the City v Wigan game, getting some vox pops with fans before the game, and after the game, to film interviews with City’s manager Stuart Pearce and one of the players in the tunnel.
City actually lost one nil, which wasn’t ideal really! And it wasn’t a particularly exciting game in general – so my first proper taste of seeing a football match wasn’t the greatest!
