Pre Season Tour 2014
- Thread starter bosnian_red
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Tickets on sale April 10th, will make sure I get them right away. Can't wait.
Cant we turn down competing in any competition, obviously to our own detriment but I hear alot about the old days and clubs simply refusing their spot in european competitions.
Anyone going to the game in DC?
I am--it's in my backyard. I was going to provide folks some ideas for restaurants/things to do while in DC if anyone's interested.
I am trying to - depends on work.
Please do. My last trip to DC was when I was broke and all I could afford was the United Barca game, staying in a dorm and walking the monuments. I didn't have good things to say about the city. Hopefully this visit changes that.
Will do. I'll put together something and post it closer to the date. Sorry to hear you had a meh time over here--DC really is a nice place to visit. Though in July it will be unbearably hot and muggy.
My impression is that a 5 mile radius around the white house and monuments is nice. The rest - not so much. Also, whoever decided the closest public transport to Fedex field should be a kilometer away is an idiot.
There's a story behind FedEx's location-I'll include it in my post. Trust me-you'll have a good time. There's tons to do in and around DC.
Here's a link to The Washington Posts's guide for visitors. Good place to start.

100$ per ticket, with the United fans behind the net, you get a team scarf and a key chain for it too.

Use the link I put if you want to sit in the United fan section, prices aren't bad either compared to most United friendlies. It's the official site though, not sure if you could get it cheaper somewhere else.
@NM-Did you try TicketMaster? Looks like there are face-value tickets still available. http://www.ticketmaster.com/Guinness-International-Champions-Cup-tickets/artist/1875902
I usually use StubHub-an alternative is to check out Craig's List. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/ Search under tickets. It's a little caveat emptor--but see if there's anything worthwhile.
I'll keep my ears open for tickets and PM you if I hear anything. But-try Ticketmaster first.
Good luck.
Anyone going to the Madrid game know where to get cheaper tickets?
I'll be going with my wife so want to sit somewhere more sedate. Things got heated with some of the Barca fans when I went to United-Barca..
See above, cheapest you can get are $45 on the Michigan Athletic Ticket Office site:

Could you let me know as well please? @Sir Matt
I will likely order mine through the competition link. Last time I sat near midfield and @vivs sat in the United section. I just have to see what friends I have going before I order.

Hindsight is 20/20. Allowing people to buy 50 tickets at a time unfortunately also put thousands of tickets in the hands of scalpers/touts, who are using stubhub and other secondary marketplaces to sell tickets at 2-5 times the face value.
I hope we get all our transfer deals done and dusted before they leave for this, will help them settle in.
Rose Bowl tickets go on sale on Monday. Anyone going to this ?
I'm still kind of fearing that we get into the Europa League through 6th place and end up having to play in the qualifiers 
Pretty sure they'd end up cancelling the United-Madrid game if that happened.

July 31st and august 7th apparently. This game is right in the middle of the two.
Hmm...I'd imagine most of the tour would be cancelled in that case, as the other matches would be just before or after those dates.
The club could look at the idea of having two squads.
1 mainly consisting of the world cup players who will play any pre season tour games at the end of july start of august and some players being left in England to prepare for Europa. The Europa games should only clash with 1 pre season game.
If everyone stays fit, we could still have a decent squad in both.
Obviously this all depends on us finishing 7th and Arsenal finishing 5th and then winning the cup.

Anyone know if they are selling access to the training sessions on this tour ?
Surely if we have to play an Europa qualifier against a midtable side from Lithuania our reserves should be good enough to win the tie?
I'd preferred to field a half-U21s half-1st team in both matches.It's not about being good enough.We always need some experience in men's football.
I need to order tickets soon for this.
For a Europa League qualifier?
A subcontractor that we work with bought a whole bunch of tix and promised me two (or possibly up to 4) free tix for the Utd/LA Galaxy game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA on Wed, July 23rd at 7:30pm PST.Don't hate the player, hate the game
Got tix for Denver and Pasadena. Should be fun.
