April 12, 2010 2:39 PM

john leech footyWhile many people are talking about the battle coming on 6th May, another battle that is going to divide south Manchester - and this time it is in 3D!

Manchester City are hosting Manchester United this Saturday and the game is being shown in 3D for the first time at the Farmer's Arms in Burnage.

Bar owner Lawrence Hennigan welcomed John Leech MP to show him round and demonstrate the newly installed 3D Televisions.

John said:

"It's excellent that the Farmer's Arms has got the game in 3D. I'm sure it will attract a lot of people. Lawrence is bucking the trend, with thirty nine pubs a week closing, it's vital we give our pubs as much support as possible.

When asked about his predictions for the result on Saturday, John said:

"Lawrence might have 3D but we've got three dangerous strikers and I'm going for 3-1 to the blues!"

United-mad Hennigan said:

"I just hope Rooney makes a miraculous recovery! It's great to receive the support from John Leech who I know has been backing pubs in parliament."

The game will be shown in 3D at the Farmer's Arms on Burnage Lane in Burnage; kick-off is at 12.45pm.
