you have no idea how hard it is to get tickets for united home games. i went lisbon at home in the champions league this year and that is it. the only good way of getting tickets for games at old trafford is by getting membership to manutd.com and using the viagogo ticket exchange and it still is pretty hard for me to get 3 tickets. its a lot easier for smaller teams to get tickets for games because they have a smaller fan base.
i do go to a lot of away games if they are in the midlands and i went to the JJB last season.

Even I know that's utter rubbish, two of my friends go to every home game, they don't hold a season ticket because the preorder line is 17 years or something silly, they buy tickets on the day. :rolleyes:

Next excuse please.

Buy a season ticket, then. If you supported that much surely you would travel to see them every two weeks.

ever heard of a waiting list for season tickets? oh probably not because you have a small fanbase

Rather be Cardiff and have a small fan base with a BIG atmosphere than be you with a big fan base with a SMALL atmosphere because the 'fans' don't know the words to the songs.

I support Hull City (partly because my Dad's from there, partly because Man United are now nothng to support since it's like following the crowd) and because I live in the North-East, I can't get to see them play.
And lol @ UnitedRoad saying that Cardiff have a tiny fanbase just because MUFC have like 20 billion supporters

Cardiff's fanbase isn't actually that small. It might be small compared to premier league teams but compared to other teams it's quite big.

Well, not really. Rugby is the main sport in Wales and the people who live in West Wales and have no brains at all, support the Jacks. In Mid Wales, some people support Hereford as it is their nearest team. Up North they support Wrexham or Liverpool.

I like Cardiff more, I watched 'em play Burnley at Turf Moor with some mates, they played some good football did Cardiff, dare I say better than Fulhams. :P

Edit for above: But the people from the North are the scouse rejects. xD

Was the score 3-3 by any chance? Wrexham supporters are actually quite loyal.

I went then. I don't think it was 0-0 at half-time because I think that Burnley scored in the first minute then Cardiff equalised then Burnley scored then Cardiff equalised then Cardiff scored then they scored in the last minute.

Excuse my over use of the word "then"

I've been to a few games since then so I can't remember when the goals flew in but I can agree it was a fab game! :D
I might see if I can hook up with a ticket and go to some other game with 'em this season. :)

I will not support a team anymore (If we die). Just follow the results and such, go to the odd premier league game when theyre close, pompey, reading etc

But yer now were relegated :(

why do you always think of the worst?

bournemouth will be fine..

piddle2k6

They will not be fine if the petition is agreed to at court, and then HM Revenue and Customs take away everything the club has. Then we have to start again as a football club from scratch, no team, no manager, no stadium, no finance nothing

Did you know Glazer could turn Man United into a shopping center? That would be really funny, even funnier if they sold Man City stuff lol.

Piddle2k6 I hope your club gets back to normal and someone saves you before its too late :(

That's a great idea. However the football club is probably worth millions.

Can you imagine if the new owners of Bournemouth were HxF members? :P

You should do what Ebbsfleet did and get everyone to put money in. They did it on this website I can't remember what it is. They have like 35,000 board members though :P
