I sat five seats down from someone at Wembley who abused him incessantly from the first whistle until he was subbed off. He literally had no other interest in the game, than to swear at him and berate him. It was genuinely a little bit scary to see a grown adult just spew venom at a player for...

They said similar last year and it went to a second round. What they actually have said is that there isn’t enough for all those eligible, but not everybody eligible will apply after all.

Are you eligible for aways? Due to reduced allocation, it will only be those who have bought all home cup games, AND are Silver or above (aka, away-eligible members), AND who bought a semi-final ticket who can apply. For what it is worth, neither me, my wife nor a mate have received an e-mail...

Update on forwarding tickets from Fans’ Forum. We will always be able to sell back to the club or forward to non-members, which sounds very reasonable: https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/takeaways-from-man-utd-fans-forum-meeting-april-2024

Still can't get over how bad this season's away kit is in replica vs authentic. Feels like the first time there has been a clear gulf between then. Even the home kit this season, looks shoddier in replica vs authentic. Not seen a third kit in authentic to compare, but the replica looks good...

I do believe the app is to clamp down on touting. The current system is still easily exploitable. If you have one season ticket and one other membership, you can forward all 19 matches from the season ticket to the membership and generate 19 one-off QR codes that you can easily WhatsApp or...

You only need one burner membership at the moment to generate the individual match tickets from a league season ticket. You can just forward matches from a season ticket to a burner membership and this creates 19 individual QR codes. You can then send the individual tickets via Whatsapp or email...

Something dawned on me tonight. Guy I forwarded my spare ticket onto from Facebook is not the guy sat next to me. Looks like he resold it to someone else. Of course, there is nothing to stop him just forwarding the wallet link to someone else, and probably profitably touting the Arsenal match...

Changed dramatically since the digitalisation of season tickets.

I think that is one factor, but ultimately the digitalisation of season tickets has been quite generous. We went from having a plastic card where you physically had to meet people or post it for others to use (despite being against the T&Cs) to being able to forward a ticket digitally to anybody...

Lots of tinfoil hat conspriacy theories on Twitter about United's ticket changes trying to drive out season ticket holders...

You would only appointment Tuchel on a shorter term contract as a transitional manager. The club would immediately want to set to work on a succession plan, as he wouldn’t be here for more than two seasons at best. He’s not without his merits though.

Wembley is shit and the team is in a right state. This is our fourth trip in just over 12 months and we have another two in the next month for both FA Cup finals. Nobody gets much out of it once the novelty of your first visit, or first visit for a while, has worn off, or unless you leave with...

Edit: All done

Probably none of them, in all honesty. People are completely misdiagnosing our issues if they think you can scapegoat a few players, remove them from the team, bring in some £50m replacements, and actually expect to see any real improvement. Those new players would likely face the exact same...
