MU couldn't sell all their STs...any truth in this?

[Cliff M]

Just back from hols and heard someone in the pub last night talking about them having to advertise their season tickets to sell them..any truth or did I mishear?

[Barnesy_10]

a manc at work was mentioning this, he was undecided about going for one as he has a baby on the way.

Isn't it the tickets for the new quadrant?

[Guest Jack Bauer]

I wish we couldn't sell all our STs

[madaboutlfc]

I wish we couldn't sell all our STs

i dont.. that would mean we arent doing well and the club is on a decline

[Ben 23]

I think he just wants one himself , I know I do anyway.

[NWR]

I am sure we can still sell more than 35000

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Or it could mean that we have a 90,000 seater.

You'd better hope so, else Barnum and Bailey will up sticks and head back to the states, leaving you right in it.

[NWR]

Last figure mentioned on the radio on Friday was 64,000 sold. Problem??

it would mean i wouldn't be at the bottom of a list of 20 thousand or something.

Try for the midweek games. They are easier to get hold of. As a member I am only guarenteed 1 ticket per season, but I get around ten, seven being midweek games.

So, excluding the away allocation, over 85% of the old trafford crowd is made up of people who visit every week?!? Or is the executive allocation huge?

Ain't seen you on here for ages, all well lash?

[Leo No.8]

What I'd really like to know is how the f*ck United get away with allocating only 3500 tickets for away fans in a stadium the size of theirs, whilst we give away 3000.

 

Either they should be giving more to away fans, or we should be giving less...

I see the tack has changed now.

This thread started out as a cheap jibe at United wrongly making out our fans are deserting us. Anyway, United let you have more than 3000 tickets so stop moaning.

 

Cliff.

I tend to stay away in closed season, and it always starts with a ban from your mods. I get abuse all year around on here, needless and unjustified most of the time. Occasionally I do let my guard down a little and dish it back, resulting in my usual suspension.

Ah well, another season begins. Here`s to the wonderfull game of Football and the almost hatred between out two teams. Wouldnt have it any other way.

Don't tell me to stop moaning, I'm really not bothered how many season tickets you've sold.

 

My point was regarding the fact that you actually contravene Premier League guidance on the percentage of tickets to be given to away fans and get away with it, probably so you can squeeze in more Japanese tourists who'll have a good old shop in The Megastore.

 

You're quite right - you do let us have more than 3000, you let us have 3500 tickets. My point Einstein, is that in a stadium which holds over 70,000, that is a far lower percentage than the 3000 of 45,000 we provide isn't it?

 

Clearly no mathematic genius are we...

They'd probably argue a lot of teams don't have the demand for 7k away tickets.

they could or else use the "boohoo....who gives a f*** what you think ye whinging fanny" argument

thats my favourite arguement, not as good as the "but most of my friends are black" arguement or known as the big ron defence

[Ostrich Man]

The Murph Principle.

[Bigal]

dont want to be a pendant but thats "the black lads were laughing so how could it be racist?"
