Inside Old Trafford: The Atmosphere Expl...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

In this Talk of the Devils Extra, the first of the new season, we take stock of the atmosphere at Old Trafford; why it's important, how it has evolved over the years, and how we can make sure it thrives in the future.

Joining us are some special guests, chant leader Pete Boyle and youth supporters club representative Luca Black, but of course this is Andy Mitten's specialist subject and he has plenty to say as well.

So whether you remember the glory days or not, join us for a trip down memory lane... we hope you agree it's a welcome break from analysing the football!
