When Joel Glazer tried to raise the drawbridge with the Super League company, United fans stormed the castle and their home game against Liverpool was postponed. There were passionate protests against Rupert Murdoch's failed inauguration in 1998 and Joel, Avram and Bryan Glazer called for a police escort to escape Old Trafford in 2005.
