So many ST holders and regulars don’t get the chance to go to away games normally due to the points system that has become a closed shop. This was a rare opportunity for older ones like myself to get back to an away game (not been for years) as well as younger ones who have never been. Was always going to sell out for me.

My first proper away game ever. Just the 47 years wait for me. Done a few friendlies and plenty of Wemblies (if that’s the correct pluralisation).

There are a lot. I have lived down here for over 20 years.
We are also seeing the effects of City's re-emergence over the last 12 years. Kids have been wearing Sergio/Toure/Hart shirts and now you see Haalande and De Bryne.
A 10yo in 2011 who lives anywhere near the M25 will be all over this match.

There is also the availability. I have over 13k points, but I rarely even bother to look at the criteria for league matches outside London as it doesn't come down to my level. This kind of match is quite a distinct possibility, so I sense people have left the date free.
(The same can be said for the league cup and Champions league group matches).

this is a new development to seat counting, seats being held hostage, and released one at a time, we have gone full circle

I remember a few years back on the morning of an Old Trafford derby I was on United’s website. There were still a few tickets dotted around so I stuck about 10 in my basket. It wouldn’t have let me actually buy them unless I purchased memberships but at least it stopped any of the other fuckers buying them for a bit!

This is elite level Berting - top work sir. Back in the day I used to regularly give wrong directions to out of town Utd fans in city centre Manchester, sending them either to Maine Road or Bury on the Metro but you have topped this.

I’ve got one ticket stuck in my basket. It never gave me the opportunity to select two.

I needed 2 tickets so I’ll be releasing the one I’ve got shortly :-(

I had one ticket in the city end for 2of us so needed an extra one at the swamp
Got offered two in United end as would only sell as a pair .one was a junior ticket for 2adults
So I said to the rag I will go In on junior ticket and if I get in ok my mate will pay (he had my city ticket in his pocket)
I got in on the junior and when the rag turned to my mate he had disappeared into the distance!!

Might be a silly question and I have a ticket so this is purely on interest but how do we know this was the full 9k? The information said initial 5665 which can be increased to 8899. So when did they request the extra allocation and increase it?

I went on the website around 2 hours after they’d gone on sale and the 5665 bit had been taken out.

We were playing at home v QPR circa 1996/7 and I was walking up Shudehill (where I lived) to have a pre-match booze in The Hare and Hounds.,A minibus pulled over and asked me for directions to Old Trafford. It was full of kids and adults from 3 families over from Ireland who were doing various bits of sightseeing. “If you give me a lift I’ll take you straight there. 25 minutes and a quick blast down Upper Brook Street later, I was happily ensconced in The Huntsman.
“If you take the next right, it’s called “Claremont Rd”, the ground’s just on your left.”
“Cheers mate.”
“You’re fucking welcome.”
