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.

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!

Spot on RD...can't do midweek...thanks.



EDITED TO ADD: 12,600 :))

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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
