Yes I would be surprised if there's more than 40k in total

No suprise if Avanti's cheapest return fare is £90+. Oh for Virgin Trains.

You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
They paved paradise (Maine Road) and put up a parking lot…………
and some houses but that doesn’t scan! ;-)

1985 boarded a train at Preston bound for Murray field to watch Ireland play Scotland. Surprised to see my brother and several mates on the train heading to Palace to watch City. Pointed out they were on the wrong train, took a while before they believed me. Once they realised I was right they discussed if they should carry on to Scotland and watch Rangers as most had Bears allegiance or jump of at Lancaster and try to make it to Palace. They decided to do this and it was a good day all round as City and Ireland both won on the way to promotion and the triple crown.

I remember coming back from blackpool on a lads night out a few of the lads were a bit tipsey mostly blues and a few reds .we were waiting for the train back to warrington we were singing city til i die and few others songs when a pint pot just missed my head launched by a load of utd fans getting train back.next minute some lad said to me when you get on that train your dead.anyway train arrives and these utd fans came at us from all angles i got kicked through one door then another onto the tracks.i stumbled back on the train and it was like a scene from the ok coral there was 9 of us and 30 or forty plus of them.One of scariest moments ive been ivolved in.ended up shaking hands onced it all settled down.

So Preston is the only friendly then Leicester City in Wembley.
I check Leicester's program, they have 3 games Wycombe, QPR, Villarreal before they play us.

So they will be tired by the time they play us!

4 to 1 is quite a low ratio for United.

What's with the trains I can't book tickets from Warrington there and back Saturday to Sunday and some of the costs are ridiculous, this will stop us going anyone have prices from Manchester, I have hotel booked

Just putting it out there, we always park at Watford and take the train in, thought this time we would avoid public transport and have booked a car space on just park for £10.50, 1o mins walk from the stadium, there are plenty of spaces on there and park on my drive ranging from £10/£20.

Be careful which area you book. For the villa game parked in Harrow the parking spot was fine but getting out of London afterwards was a nightmare.

Usually if we have a car with us we'd park in Ruislip on the street free but that game the tube was broken again so went a bit further in.

Wonder what's causing the delay in providing ticket information? The game is just over 2 weeks away. I can only assume that Wembley/The FA may be having a rethink re security arrangements after the chaos of the Euros final.
