Do you remember the rumours that Millwall were going to get tickets off them and come for a rumble with us haha

Yes it was headline news on the back.page of one of the tabloids on the way to the game.

Yeah, know what you mean, but i think about all the times minnows get to Wembley for play off finals for L1 & L2, or for FA Trophy finals etc - they always sell loads more than their regular attendance. If the stadium can hold it, twas ever thus I think, unfortunately.

That is why the allocation should be for their fans only.
United fans will want tickets just to kick off and hide behind the Salford City tag.
Is there 8 or 9 thousand Salford City fans ? will Salford City FC give a fuck if United fans buy tickets nope

the only way you stop Scum fans coming to the Etihad is to play both games at the same time

But wouldn’t they also come to the Etihad if they were playing us there in the league or the cup?? I don’t quite see the issue. Some on here seem to be catastrophising like it’s gonna be some kind of all out carnage.
As long as it’s policed at the same levels as a derby match, I can’t see why their ticket holders, be they Salford or united fans, are gonna make it any different to any match when we play them.

Anyway, whilst in theory I agree and would be happy if they were arranged at the same time, let’s be honest, it’s never ever gonna happen mate.

Some people are getting knickers in a twist about nothing.Cant believe what I'm reading.You honestly think thousands of rags are going to turn up to kick of ?dream on .Might be an odd few but thousands behave.Wont be any worse mither than when we play the rags in the league
Is that nowt on telly to watch ?

But its not United ?
Salford City has got nothing to do with United or its fans
If Salford City sell tickets to United fans 100% they will sing United songs about City and LIverpool and Leeds

What is the point of any real Salford City fans turning up ?

I can’t be arsed with these type of games as they are generally pretty uncompetitive. Think I’ll give it a swerve.

People complain when we get run of the mill premiership/championship opposition finally get a left field draw and people still aren't happy!

That can't happen unless both are not on TV.

I can't see many Mu fans wanting to see an easy City win.
