Crowd and scoreboard
7 - 0 baby 19 minutes left in the 2nd
half. Blackburn did score one.

Manchester United kicked Blackburn's butts today wining 7 to 1.  In my opinion, the atmosphere was great and it was very exciting to score that many times, especially considering the first score happened with in a minute and half.  I have never been to a profession 'football match' before so this was an experience of a lifetime considering it was the Manchester United (one of the most respected and well known football clubs in the world)! The attendance was just about sold out.  I looked it up on the internet and it seats around 76,000 people so the stadium was about 1,150 people from being completely sold out.  There were lots of die hard fans by us screaming and chanting Man U chants.  Even though we sat 5 rows from the very top of the stadium, I felt like we had awesome seats. I will talk to you soon!

Love, Allie
