Come off it , Manchester United is such an important football ground in North West England , also one of the few grounds in the country with direct access to the railway from it .

Somebody was thinking far ahead when they built the ground so close to the railway .

The producers also probably wanted something in the programme to be like a talking point , no matter which football team he would have gone to there would always opposing supporters against it .
