....... I arrested a ticket tout before the Sunderland - Millwall game. Happy days I wonder if this one will be as eventful.
When are the old trafford tickets on sale? Got the money raised for both ties but want to make sure I secure a ticket for the away leg.
You won't need to arrest anyone. There'll be plenty of tickets available if your ****e home support for the previous round is anything to go by.
Funny thing is that we'll have a great following whatever the result of the first leg ...... for clubs like Sunderland semi finals don't come along that often. You should know that ............
Cheers fella I will do. Got a season ticket mate who's not going but she still hasn't got back to me. She's slow at that. Would I be right in assuming Season Card holders get priority before they go on general sale? Last time I was at Old Trafford I was 15. Game where Cantona chipped Lionel. 17 years ago. I'm guessing it's still a **** hole?
I was there, if only that Oster free kick had gone in.....it would have been us losing 4-0 in the final. Ahhhhh good times.
It's a great ground in a wasteland so there's always the potential for trouble especially as we'll have a lot down there. We'll be there for two days so plenty of time for a good drink.
You know I've told this before I was there 1968 and at the semi against milwall.i hope we beat them as we did in 1968.
Are you touting them?? (sorry ccouldn't resist) I want to go to both but not sure the post Christmas purse strings are stretchy enough!!
At home you've played Leeds and Man City in the League Cup and got around 35k for both games and currently sit 6th in the league - we're bottom of the league and have had MK Dons, Peterborough, Southamton & Chelsea in the cup at an average of 18k - I wonder what your avcerage would've been playing those clubs - nowhere near 35 I reckon - OK so it'd be more than ours but if we were sitting pretty in the league then I reckon we'd have much more people going to the cup games. Our away support ranks the same as yours and you know that as well as we do I wonder how many Leeds and City fans were at your ground for the respective ties - quite a few i reckon as you have to give 15% and there will have been others in the nhome end as well. Southampton and Chelsea couldn't sell out their allocation. So you're average home support is probably about 20k below capacity and you're having a great season?? Ours isn;t
No offence Marcus, I very rarely knock your support, it's quite impressive considering the **** you put up with. Sometimes Stella posts instead of me on a Sunday.
Old Trafford is a stones throw away from Salford Quays, home to the billion pound 'Media City' and some of Manchester's wealthiest live along the Quays. There's also Stretford, which is far from affluent, so yeah, there's poorer areas nearby too. No wasteland though.
No it isn't ........ that's 2 miles away on the other side of the canal. The area around Old Trafford is old railway lines, industrial buildings and drainage gullies.
