At least at WH you can pay less if it's not a 'top team' (eg ?20+ for Stoke but ?49+ for Chelski) but as you're always seeing a 'top team' at OT maybe that doesn't apply -


re getting the tickets surely the best way is to become a member and buy direct?


ETA: just checked that out of curiosity and it's ?32 just to join but they don't seem to sell matchday tickets unless you ARE a member (or maybe there are none left by the time non-members are eligible) so if you're only going once then a 'deal' with a ticket agent (as long as it's less than ?32* over the seat price) looks like your best bet.


*Unless members are allowed to buy two - then it's only ?16/tkt over the odds of course.

Thanks Maxxi. I did join as a member last season, but there was little available and when I did find something I realised that I could only buy the one ticket (booooo) - something I hadn't realised till the last second, so I haven't renewed my membership this year. However, thanks for your input; am especially grateful for the maths and will look into your tips.

I used to pay ?5 on the North Bank in 1990 and they upped it to ?6 for a few big ganes.

LM, if you wanted just one ticket and you weren't bothered where you sat, I'd suggest buying from a tout outside the ground on match day. Getting two tickets side by side is a bit hit and miss though.

You could try one of the ticket exchange websites, there used to be an official MUFC backed one, but it was scrapped.

Lots on the web... http://redmancunian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=614&p=965#p965

You could also try contacting one of the London/South East based supporters clubs to see if they have spare tickets.

Might also be worth checking the Manchester Evening News website, may pay to place an advert...

Don't pay a tout. Thats everything that is wrong with the modern game "not minding" paying over the odds and comparing it to theatre/Opera.


It's not difficult to find tickets, all you had to do was look on the website. The West Ham game is on general sale so you don't need to be a member by the looks of it.

Hot of the press!..


?? - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts (Suspected Far East betting scam)

JL - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts (For the 4th week in a row JL hits double figures...take a bow son!)


AM - 1 Correct Result + 3 Correct Scores = 10 pts


DR - 1 Correct Result + 2 Correct Scores = 7 pts

MM - 1 Correct Result + 2 Correct Scores = 7 pts

PD - 1 Correct Result + 2 Correct Scores = 7 pts


RD - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts


I wish I'd done a Maxxi...


EP - 1 Correct Result + 1 Correct Score = 4 pts

OT - 1 Correct Result + 1 Correct Score = 4 pts

RC - 4 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 4 pts


SC - 3 Correct Results + 0 Correct Score = 3 pts


Mx - 2 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 2 pts


LG - 1 Correct Result + 0 Correct Scores = 1 pt

So what you're saying is 'maxxi' is only worth 2... but "a maxxi" is worth 5...


A man could get a complex.*



*just not a correct score.

Thanks for your input though, red devil...you've provided some ideas I hadn't thought about. As for touts...no offence...but I just don't trust them...shifty...the lotta them lol...

I did look at that site, Annasfield, but I need a weekend match (WH is on a Weds.). Still, I appreciate your input (especially as you don't post as much as you used to).


Thanks to anyone else I have missed and to those who emailed me privately. It doesn't seem such a minefield now, and I feel sure I shall have something in the next few days. Can't wait!

Couple of tweets on bbc website that made me chuckle.


"Scotland should try and appoint Arsene Wenger! That seems to be only way forward for the Gunners!"



Andrew Edwards on Twitter: "Scotland sighs a breath of relief as McLeish distances himself from national team job, as managerless clubs await with fear."




Did anyone watch 8 out of 10 cats last night? They mentioned the Chelsea / Clattengurg situation and I think it's fair to say that they were not really buying Chelsea's story!

I didn't but I don't buy it either. Like Victor Meldrew and Sir Alex Ferguson I don't believe it!

I have to backtrack here. I now don't buy it either.


Now that I know that Mikel did not hear the alleged racist comment himself, I dont think they should have pursued it.


I was inclined to believe it originally as Mikel was obviously in deep dialogue directly with the referee and if something was said then he would have been able to hear it clearly. And an accusation on that basis I would ahve believed.


When I hear it was based on two people who the referee was not speaking to at the time, it became clear that there was scope for something being mis heard, and hence it all looks fabricated.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.

      I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
