manure - please buy our tickets

[Didsbury Dave]

Got to be honest and think its a pretty poor show that we've been unable to sell out the home leg too.

The home leg is sold out, you clown

 

[Didsbury Dave]

if we are 2 goals to the good,i think a lot of blues would snap up tickets for their end.fingers crossed eh!

I was in the Stretford Paddock in 91 as a teenager, with about 500 other blues.

They didn't know what it em' - still one of my best-ever derby experiences.

It would be amazing to see pockets of resistance all over the place - behind the Stretford End goal, especially.

I did that during the away fan ban at Luton, they threatened to throw opposition fans out - but there were too many of us.

Still remember the lads daft enough to wear Stone Roses T-shirts, thinking they were being clever, getting turned away from turnstyle.

I beat the ban at Luton too. Loads of Blues in there.

i think you ll find that there are very few left for the home game...certainly no more than 100...they will be snapped up by ko......actually i ve been told we ve sold out but not had it confirmed yet, i ll be amazed if there is any left, people were just getting their finances in order after xmas

the home leg was sold out before it was cancelled.

What's happening is that they are getting returns due to the date being changed and just selling them back on again when they get requests.

yes that makes sense to me

I was there at Luton too!

Also seem to recall being in their end as well one year and being taken around the ground to our end but outside the coppers got lost as i wasnt one of those grounds you could just walk around. They spent ten minutes asking the locals the way round whilst I was fuming at missing the game........

Didsbury Dave - Get your facts right before you start calling people.

I was down at the ticket office on Friday and they were still on sale then - and still with the fact that you could buy 2 extra tickets.

Luton had to allow away fans in for the cup games. The days of ID cards and the inflatables, Frankenstein and paddling pool etc.

a mate of mine rang the ticket office and the woman said there'll be extra tickets released for city fans, whether or not this is true im not sure.
maybe the united fans are struggling that much to fill up the gaff

I told you the facts earlier.

They are now selling returns.

The rags will be waiting to see how the first leg pans out. If they get a caning then they won't bother. Anything less than a 2 or 3 goal margin to us and they probably will crawl out of the woodwork.
