Football Fans Marching Through Manchester City Centre

1 October 2019 · Manchester

A dense crowd of football supporters fills a Manchester city centre street on an overcast autumn afternoon. One fan carries a blue club flag aloft as the group moves past a bronze statue, a yellow Magic Bus, and the familiar Pizza Express shopfront on the corner. The street belongs to the crowd — city traffic paused, the ordinary rhythm of the day suspended for ninety minutes of something else entirely.
