I read a blog recently, it may have been in here, I can't remember but among other things there has been absolutely no investment in Old Trafford since the Glazers took over.

Surely the exchange could be opened up to general sale ?

I'd not be shocked if the club doesn't actually open it up to general sale much, just in case you get fans from other clubs wanting to purchase and it causing trouble. I know a lot of teams fans wouldn't start anything, but at the moment the stewards are still finding their feet, they don't to be finding an away supporter in the wrong place, and home fans not reacting in the right manner

Do you happen to know how many paid up members we have?

According to the latest ticketing points list on the club website there are 175,819 paid up members not sure if that total includes the 42000 season ticket holders . So in theory every game should sell out to members plus any tickets offered on ticket exchange but it's not happening, the member sale is selling out but not the ticket exchange.

Noticed during a rendition of stand up if you hate Arsenal (hate that song but can see why it's sung atm) that the entire Park Lane was stood up with the exception of a couple of blocks bang in the middle that was clearly the 1882 section.

Given these were sold as "being in the heart of the atmosphere" you'd think the people in there would at least get involved in that ffs. Was never a fan of that block of 'corporate-lite' in the middle of the Park Lane and I think the fears are justified.

Last night was good though. Far better than the same game would have been at Wembley or the old Lane, as has been said.

the disabled section didn't stand either, but I still sung it. think there are 2 rows just above the wheelchairs that are for disabled members

I tried the Spurs pie - Amazing. Malaysian curry was surprisingly bland. Burger was tasty. Yes I'm greedy :)

I'm pretty big, but to be honest I've not been bril health wise last 3-4 days. I had the hotdog with pulled pork and couldn't finish it. it was lovely though

Hating on some one you don't know for no reason other than they can afford a more expensive ticket? Hate is hate.
Ok, we're not talking about violence, but society doesn't need any groups of people hating on eachother, rich vs poor, black vs white, men vs women, muslim vs christian, it's all petty and needless.

It's needless but they aren't even close to being comparable

Had fish and chips and surprisingly they were hot, the chips were crisp and I enjoyed it. What a contrast to the Wembley version which where the fish was OK but the chips cold and soggy always.

Only complaint was some green sludge on the side (looked like mouldy putty so I disposed of what I assume was some kind of mushy pea thing) and a piece of bread! Would understand if this was Yorkshire but it's not. Just give me more chips

Cant have fish and chips without mushy peas.

I think they have been buying up a lot of property/land directly around the ground and slightly further afield as well with an eye on building a brand new stadium in the same area. I know a few on here that would be spitting feathers about that!!

It puts our stadium even more into perspective really. It's been a long old slog to get the thing built, but when the likes of Man U are unable to maintain CL whilst not improving their infrastructure it shows what a challenge the modern, money-centric game is.

I’ve only been there once, about ten years ago, and I thought it looked more tired than WHL then, so it must be dreadful now.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them build a new stadium once they see how profitable ours is. Their debt is already huge, what’s another billion going to do!!
