I'm a massive fan of The Stone Roses music, their initial short-lived run was incredible and they sounded like nobody else at the time. They are huge amongst indie fans of a certain era, critics and especially with people here in Manchester where their 2012 reunion was a massive event.
Obviously, there are many strange people here who have an aversion to anything Manchester-related, or indeed English. For some reason, the very idea of this will boil their piss. Why they spend their days hanging around on a United forum is beyond me. But whatever, you're welcome to watch online and join in however you see fit. Go sports!
If you don't like them, or think they're overrated. Good for you too, all opinions are valid.
However, you cannot deny they're a big part of the city's culture, Manchester United are too and they're linked - which has nothing to do with fecking Oasis btw. It's nothing you need to get upset about.
Even as a fan of both the band and the club, I couldn't be less interested in the merch and I'd be shocked if it's anything less than a pretty tasteless cash-in (much like the band's post-reunion efforts), but who knows? Maybe Yanmar can stick a lemon on their tractors?
