July 21, 20188 yr I thought the idea of having it at Leyland was to give the pitch more recovery time after last weekends gigs?
July 21, 20188 yr I thought the idea of having it at Leyland was to give the pitch more recovery time after last weekends gigs? Plus 2 rugby games.
July 21, 20188 yr see I don’t think it would at all We wouldn’t be opening the whole stadium up New kits just released great chance to fleece parents With one cancelled and another behind closed doors first proper game with new signings on show I’d bet we wouldn’t make a fortune but we’d make Start of school holidays, people away, most can’t be arsed....I like your optimism but don’t be fooled into a gee good factor that’s not there
July 21, 20188 yr FT 0-0 but sounded like an entertaining game in which we were unlucky to not win Edited July 21, 20188 yr by jmjhb
July 21, 20188 yr Wheater put a header just wide. ALF hit the post. They,in typically Spanish style had loads of the ball but little end product.
July 21, 20188 yr Utd lad I knew used to go on about how every away following in 90s was mainly lads with fake tickets and fake cash There were a few utd fans knocking them out tickets and twenty notea for a fiver and you'd get in no probs, and they'd all just stand up at the back After a couple of seasons away pubs started banning them after they'd thought they took hundreds over the bar only to find out it was all fake There’s a belting book called scum airways that’s all about it. Belting read. It went from gibbing in to a full on crime racket. My United mate got some Chelsea away tickets one season and was given a room number at raddison near old Trafford to go to and name to say at the reception. He went to the room and there 4 big meat head dudes and guy sat at the dressing table with shit loads of stacks of tickets, season ticket cards etc. He asked which game he was after and he paid £100 a ticket.

Been dogging me all afternoon the name of that book! Read it a while ago, definitely took big advantage of the market while he could, whether you could do the same now I'm not so sure. Although when I collected my Dortmund tickets through Viagogo I had to do pretty much the same... Edited July 21, 20188 yr by Marc505
July 21, 20188 yr Right just got back my take on the game Polish lad looked pretty good strong in the tackle and descent on the ball Oneill off the pace but tried I'll reserve judgement Donaldson looks slightly overweight did some good runs but the penalty was complete bobbins Over all a good friendly and tried to play it on the deck a lot more

July 21, 20188 yr Right just got back my take on the game Polish lad looked pretty good strong in the tackle and descent on the ball Oneill off the pace but tried I'll reserve judgement Donaldson looks slightly overweight did some good runs but the penalty was complete bobbins Over all a good friendly and tried to play it on the deck a lot more Agreed. Of the new ones, the Pole looked the best....a good defensive full back who can tackle & isn't scared of the physical stuff. ( i predict disagreements with those who prefer the full backs to go rushing up the field ) O'Neil off the pace - agreed Lowe looks a good replacement for Henry....nothing fancy Donaldson looks an upgrade on Wilbrahim, but not a first choice. Couldn't judge Wildshut either way. It was a pity Oztumer didn't play ( & it could be a push for him to be ready & fitted in for West Brom ) so we still hardly passed through midfield but it was a good workout against decent opposition - as someone said, they were typical Spanish, good on the ball & passed forever, without creating much.
July 21, 20188 yr Forgot about Lowe probably because h did his job with no dramas Edited July 21, 20188 yr by 1969
July 21, 20188 yr Forgot about Lowe probably because h did his job with no dramas Some of the best players we’ve had over recent history have been like that - Gudni, Speed etc. If he does that every week and allows Oztumer & Vela to push forward, that will do for me
July 21, 20188 yr He went to the room and there 4 big meat head dudes and guy sat at the dressing table with shit loads of stacks of tickets, season ticket cards etc. He asked which game he was after and he paid £100 a ticket. doesn't sound dissimilar to when I picked up complimentary world cup tickets in munich in 06 at an official fifa outlet
July 21, 20188 yr Read scum airways. My brother in law is a united fan who has been with us to a few away Bolton games. He mainly went to United European ways in that era and regularly went without tickets. Turning up mob handed just as the game had started and forcing the gates open was common place. Never got reported and the local constabulary were just happy to get them off the street. Where have i heard similar ....................

That scam they pulled with the champions league final packages in 98 was mental. Basically sold people a fake media badge and branded vis vest and got them in through the press entrance. ...in other news stoke have signed that terrorist sympathising scum fuck of a man James McClean today, as well as Tom Ince. Gamble all your money stoke, hopefully they’ll end up popping like we did the shitty bastards.
July 23, 20188 yr Tom Ince always seems to do the business at this level Against us anyway He’s still only 26, seems to have been around for years. Good signing that the bastards

Gamble all your money stoke, hopefully they’ll end up popping like we did the shitty bastards. They won't go pop unless the owners pull out. They're loaded and apparently season tickets are dirt cheap Plus they'll sell Shakiri. Good player but looks like he would be an utter cunt
