Thought a number of years ago when Bolton? played at Hilton Park, Bolton season ticket holders got in free, so if the same applied to Utd how much money would they take. Would need to be a lump sum payment each match. The security side would make a bob or two though.

Eric Steele is the goalkeeping coach at United.

It would be a major coup if the LSV got it.

Id go most weeks. Take my lad as well because he is a big fan. I think you'd find a lot of people would go from around here. Trying to get to a first team game is virtually impossible these days. 61,000 season ticket holders leaves just 15000 tickets left fore the rest of us.

As a footnote, One United (the membership scheme) members also would get in for free.

isn't there a limit to the number of games to be played on it each year?

they wouldbe playing to full stadiums week in week out, so it would be the rugby that became 2nd as utd would become primary users, and with genesis getting new owners might be pushed down the pecking order

cant see that re Genesis Keith they have been relegated unless another miracle happens and someone goes out of business.

We will have the moaning ols scots git complaining about the bstate of the pitch again because rugby is played on it

From what I have gathered, United reserves are only playing to crowds of 3-400 - and only attracted low 4 figure crowds at its pomp.

I don't think they'd be pulling in more fans than us, and only similar levels to Leigh Genesis - but with a better chance of being able to afford it.
