I didn’t know him at all but he used to play bowls for my local at the time, The Lloyd’s in Chorlton. And he always seemed good fun and full of character, holding court at the end of the bar after they’d had a match.

I’m sure the guy who posted it was passing on information he’d heard in good faith. But I find it very hard to believe they’re seriously considering ditching ticket transfer. They’ve put a lot of effort recently in trying to get as many people as possible actually in the ground. Pushing the...

Why would they need to use an agency to shift derby tickets? Yet you can still quick on the quicklink on the club website, that takes you directly to ‘sports breaks’ website, where plenty of derby tickets are on sale to anybody with the cash.

It’s 15% isn’t it? That’s more 8-9,000.

I think people are getting a bit giddy over all this. They’ll undoubtedly be some United fan Salfordians, who’ll turn up for a day out. But the thought of thousands of MIB running around all day causing mayhem is a bit fanciful. They can barely raise more than a couple of dozen for an actual...

I don’t know if the £10 minimum ticket price is still in place, or whether it’s gone up these days? But whatever it is, I hope City don’t go any higher. Don’t think there’s any minimum on concessions, so kids for a quid would be a good move to get lots of kids down there. I don’t think...

It seems the club’s are exempt from pretty much any rule they like. If I couldn’t go on Wednesday night and sold my ticket to a mate for a fiver, I’d technically be breaking not only Premier League rules. But actually committing a criminal offence. Yet the club can sell tickets to ticket...

No, it wouldn’t be great. It would be shit. You’d have 10,000 in the ballot for United and the lads who have barely missed an away game for decades, would nearly all miss out. Then you’d have a run of say, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon and Brighton, all away, in the space of 11 days...

I’d say if one or two of them had turned up dressed like that, it would be disrespectful. For all of them to come wearing identical shirts is full on taking the piss. It’s not a coincidence that they’ve all come like that. They’ve had a chat and all agreed what a great laugh it would be to...

For home games for sure. Out of small away allocations that are heavily over subscribed? I’m not so sure.

I’m looking at is as the perfect time to play Liverpool at Anfield today. Might as well get an almost inevitable loss out of the way when you’re in your worse run of form anyway.

115 points deduction. That puts you bottom of the Championship and a one way ticket to League 1.

Not quite the same thing but I remember Ipswich beating United 6-0 one time and missing three penalties. Think Gary Bailey saved them all.

The trouble with never getting relegated anymore is you just end up going to the same old grounds, year after year. Even the promoted clubs are nearly always teams who’ve not long since being relegated and you’ve been there a thousand times already. So the 3rd Round is the best chance of the...

Still going. One of the very few pubs left in Hulme & Moss Side.

No matter what great changes may happen in the world, the one constant is that we’re always number 22 ( or maybe sometimes 23 ) in the 3rd Round draw. Someone once told me that Bournemouth changed their name from Bournemouth FC to AFC Bournemouth, for the specific reason of always being number...

Yes, it’s a standard email for all concessions. I get one every game for my junior tickets. They clearly can’t even be arsed having a different template for different categories of concessions. As the junior ones state that a driving licence is fine.

I’ve been getting letters off them, one a month, every month, since I moved into this current place about three years ago. I even think to myself.. Here’s my monthly TV Licence letter, when I hear the letter box go, as it’s pretty much the only mail I get these days, with so much being online...

This sacrificial lamb theory doesn’t really stand up to much scrutiny either. If all you were reading was people saying… You’ve got to give PGMOL credit. They’ve identified a bad apple and dealt with it accordingly. But I’ve not heard one single person saying that. All I’m seeing is...
