Manchester United today announced an intention to compete with local rivals Manchester City on the use of inflatables. "We do admit that City had the idea first," said a spokesman for the Stretford-based club, "but with our sponsors in such trouble and with the size of our debt we need as much cash flowing in as possible. And we do think we've taken the idea to an entirely new level."
Competing with other local non-Manchester teams like Bury, Bolton and Oldham is a full-time task for the United commercial office, but they hope to make a killing with the new inflatables. "They are designed as full scale replicas of the players", the spokesman said. "The intention is that fans will take them into the ground and sit on them. Most models are doing well, but we're not selling many of John O'Shea."
