Parade banned after soccer violence
6:11pm Friday 16th May 2008
Millions of Manchester United fans would miss out on a home-coming celebration should they win the European Cup after officials banned any parade.
The controversial decision comes 48 hours after an orgy of violence by Rangers fans following their Uefa Cup defeat in the city.
Manchester City Council, widely criticised for their handling of the final in the city, along with Trafford Council, Manchester United and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) took the decision.
A statement said: "There will not be a parade immediately following the Champions League final next week but details are being discussed to organise an event which may take place during the summer.
"Manchester City Council, Trafford Council, Manchester United and GMP are working together to identify suitable opportunities given the necessary logistical demands to ensure security and safety to appropriately celebrate United's achievements this season."
