I think Man U have already said that Ronaldo won't be there, according to the Evening Express anyway.

What do you mean by the "fans" quote?
Not that I'm insulted or anything just intrigued.

Oh right. I thought he might've meant fans that don't travel to watch Man Utd play. Which is just crazy.

I can't manage - but i'm tempted to buy a ticket anyway (presuming ST holders get preference as usual) just to stop a glory hunting, sky watching, Man U "fan" plonking their fat coporate arse on my seat.

thats what i was thinking, thats just as bad as some stinking Tim or Bear sitting there rat infested ass on my beautiful south stand baby.

Maybe they'll have only fans with a book history like they do with OF games? With it being TITP weekend I doubt it.

Aye I think they're operating a voucher system. Don't get me wrong about Man Utd, I don't have a problem with them as a team and I have boundless respect for Alex Ferguson, I just hate armchair Man Utd fans.

[Bigsby]

Well, Man U would be my English team, is that OK?

[calum]

Depends. From what I read on here, Aberdeen are your first team and you put time and money into the club, correct? I don't have an issue with that, I have an issue with people who prefer to stay at home and try to share in the glory of the sucess of a club to which they have no connection whatsoever and ultimately don't really give a fuck about when things go "badly" (for "badly" read "failure to win the a trophy in a season").
