BBC Football have a useful summary on which clubs are going to be affected by the ACON. Man Utd are going to lose their only decent player: Mbeumo. They also lose Amad and Mazraoui. This might be a problem for them, as they are all players who play on their right hand side.

ICI.

There’s a blast from the past.

We used to use ICI fertilisers, among others.

They are probably hoping Mazraoui has only bought a one way ticket

So, basically, United were exploring selling at £4000 for 30 years, the right to sell-on individual games of the additionally bought season ticket for a specific guaranteed immovable seat.
If you didn’t buy/renew the season ticket each season, the £4000 is not returned in part, and is effectively lost.

a £4000 way of raising money, when you could just have bought a season ticket, and relied on the goodwill of the club in not moving you - if it meant that much to you.

A way of bringing in more day trippers/personal money makers whilst gaining an extra £4000 upfront per seat.

United trying to uphold the best traditions of Sir tickettout, but the govt has kicked them in the goolies, from an unexpected direction.

It is surely against the law for an individual to buy a ticket and then sell it for more money. It's ticket touting.

How could they even consider it as a sensible idea or is it that they currently ignore all other laws, H&S, Hygiene etc. so they were going to ignore this one as well.

Damn … football not going to be included!

Ticket resale laws: Football not part of government ticket crackdown

The government has announced legislation to outlaw the sale of tickets to sports events at inflated prices - but it will not cover football.

But it still does not allow the rags to do their American rip off. In this country you cannot sell your ticket to an unknown person. It's called ticket touting.
The rag proposal, dressed in bullshit and finery, is ticket touting.

Last night young Hojland played well for the Danes and Mactominay was superb for Scotland. Have United been linked with them at all in the transfer columns? They could do a job for the rags, surely.

I missed McTwatface's goal, but Rasmus Birtles took his penalty well.
