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.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
