Same thing applies to the third round as the fourth round no matter who you play. If you want to go then go and if you don’t want to go, don’t go.
Easy. Both matches involve Latics and neither of the two ties is any more important than the other but for the first time in a cup game I would say, let the youngsters and fringe players have the experience of playing at Old Trafford and save the regulars for the league games coming up.I wouldn’t play youngsters. If they take a hiding on TV it could ruin them.
I agree that things are certainly weighted one way at times, but that doesnt make it right.
My warning about racist comments was referring to other cultures BTW so that we’re all clear.
They can opt out of EFL ties. They cant opt out of FA Cup.It explains why there were 10,000 empty seats tonight for EFL semi-final at £37 a ticket, whilst the ground was full for a 3rd round FA Cup tie against Reading at £45 a ticket.
Aah. Knew they had opted out of some.
What you need to remember though is that unless Man Utd draw a top 5 premier league side at OT, then a fair percentage of their ST holders, given the choice, would probably not attend.The fact is, they don’t get a choice (well they do, but it comes with consequences).
In a way I feel sorry for their fans. If they hadn’t shelled out close to £50 to see them turn over a very poor Reading side in a one-sided affair that was played at lunchtime on TV, they’d be banned from attending the home match against Liverpool.
You can opt out of certain ties as my mates at work do it.
They sell the tickets because they force their adult ST holders to enrol in an auto payment scheme for all FA Cup ties. If their ST holders don’t pay for an FA Cup ticket, their ST is deactivated for the following league game, and not allowed to buy tickets for away fixtures and cup finals.Thank fuck Sharpie hasn’t adopted that draconian approach or we’d be playing Brentford with three stands empty!
It’s a great idea if you get a big tie or you’re in Europe but if you draw us then it’s crap.
Was hoping he would come with the same attitude he did in 2013 in which case he would be a top signing. Hoped that Joyce would pick him up but clearly not and he has become a poor signing yes.
On too much to be sat in the stands I would guess as well.
Did we ever score at Manure in the league?
All ST holders should get tickets B)
Second Season in PL. Boxing Day Baines Penalty and we stayed up by 1 goal after we beat Sheff Utd on last day of the season !!![/quote]
I’ve made that point many times.
At the time (it was given in the last minute I recall) it was “what’s the use of giving us a penalty now?”
At the end of the season it kept us up.[/quote]Can’t state exactly that it was that goal, but I get the point.
Yes. 3 of us – my grandson is very excited.
Just out of interest Garswood did the three of you go to the 3rd round tie against Forest, and is your Grandson a Utd fan?[/quote]
I would imagine he is anything but :lol: :lol:
I went to the 3rd round game, but I won’t be paying more than £25-£30 for this one. More than likely on the TV so I will watch with my Utd supporting Uncle and annoy the “Wigan reds”
When it comes to buying players and,especially forwards for clubs like Wigan it’s all about taking the gamble when buying.
Will he be any good at Championship level ?, if we knew that we wouldn’t be able to afford him it’s as simple as that. Get the cash down, take a punt and pray he hits 15-20 goals on before the seasons out. Without the goals were dead and buried 0-0″s won’t save us.15-20 goals in less than half a season!! That’s some ask is that! :ohmy:[/quote]
Didn’t Grigg score 19 from January to May?
