1657 - Salford and the Reds

Another lovely sunny day. We went
For a Frankie and Benny's at lunchtime
Then to Salford Quays, where we just couldn't
Find a parking space. The reason became
Obvious soon after. Tumultuous lanes
Of red and white and green and yellow scarf-
Wearers trooping as one across the same
White bridge from the mall to Old Trafford. Starved
Of space, we hesitated, and then carved
Our way along amid the tide all bent
For Manchester United's ground, the time
Short till kick-off, then we followed after
Inspecting stalls of football gear meant
For those faithful now inside the stadium
