Member of the Establishment or urban elite with an affected interest in Association Football in order to enhance their credentials as a member of the working class made good. Their declarations of loyalty to a professional football club, based adjacent to the Manchester Ship Canal but started by a group of Yorkshire railway workers, increase in intensity in direct proportion to their distance from Salford Quays.

The morass of irrelevant and confusing messages transmitted by electronic media that conceal important information hidden in their midst.
