No. It is possible that 70% of season tickets are registered within 30 minutes of Old Trafford (although I am not sure if that is accurate), but the figure for people who actually attend the game will be nowhere near that.

For example, I personally know one guy who has over 500 season tickets for United who lives within half an hour of the stadium and he sells those tickets for every game. 90% of his customers are from Ireland. He is not the only guy that does this, far from it, there are dozens of United touts that do this.

You say you are from Burnage, how many people from Burnage, Longsight, Levenshulme and Fallowfield do you know who say they are United fans compared to City? I'll go out on a limb and say you've got slightly more mates who say they are United.

Now, how many mates have you got from those areas who have season tickets and regularly go to away games? City will outnumber United without any doubt! 90% of the United "fans" I know who live in Manchester never seem to be able to get get tickets to the game. Maybe they're all unlucky?!

So your mate forks out 400k every season for 500 season tickets? Also, entrance to the stadium is with a season ticket swipe card. So does he have to wait outside the stadium for every home game to get the season cards back?

Sounds like bull to me.

Does it?

For the record, the men in this article are not the guy I know, but as I said, there are dozens of touts doing this at United.

Maybe all the touts with "Hundreds of season tickets" sell them at knockdown prices to good honest Reds from Burnage who can't afford the face value?

You numpty, they are paper tickets for cup games, or when we are away from home. Not season cards for premier league games. As if anyone is going to hand over a full season card to a complete stranger.

This happens all over the world, even at City, and it will happen even more in the Champions league. Cup games are like xmas day for touts.<br /><br />-- Wed May 25, 2011 10:56 pm --<br /><br />

First they got bitter.

Now they're boasting about their massive parade with their massive amount of trophies, one of which they've won a massive amount of times and telling us that the cup we won doesn't really matter as they've won that a massive amount of times too.

By the time I got back to my local after getting back from Wembley there was no United fans left in the pub, loads of City. Even though they'd just won the league, they all went in pissed off that City had won the cup.

I don't know why they are so arsed, but I genuinely believe they would prefer never to win another trophy if it meant we didn't win any. The New Bitters, Nosey Neighbours.

Well, you're definately nosey, Pinocchio.

Re: United Parade

I'm from Burnage M19. Went to St Caths and Barlow High.

What about you? SK8???

Yeh my name is Andrew, went to St Gay Boys, Cheadle, SK8, I'm scared of people from Burnage, please don't punch me in the face. Why have you got 450 posts since January on a City forum? Another one of the Nosey Neighbours, yeh? I'm sure you're a dyed in the wool red, eat sleep breathe it, but can never manage to get a ticket because it's "Always sold out"?

So you're not from Manchester, then. I find it pretty odd that you poke fun and point the finger at people travelling to games from outside Manchester, when you are one of them.

INTRODUCING

Re: United Parade

It makes me piss, this all City are from Stockport shite. The rags would love it if the perception was all Utd come from Salford. But it's not, the whole country knows that the majority of the fuckers at the games are from Ireland, Islamabad or Islington. And for the daft rag, I'm sure Burnage is a lot closer to Stockport than it is Old Trafford.

Blue graffiti on the rags parade route

Just wondering if anyone has thought of getting some messages up tomorrow on strategically placed bill boards where the rags parade is expected to pass?

Re: Blue graffiti on the rags parade route

If they had done this during our parade, people would be on here moaning and going on about how obsessed we are with the rags. I suggest we just let them enjoy their parade but we will always know ours was better :)

Re: Blue graffiti on the rags parade route

what's the point?

they didn't bring any attention to themselves when we had ours.

when we have our next one that's their chance to retaliate, ruins it for everyone then.

we don't need to wind them up with childish things like this, us dicking them and winning the F.A Cup was enough to make them start.
