Moving on nicely to the ultimate corporate football climate - it’s Champions League week! United face what should be a relatively straight forward trip to FC Copehagen, knowing a win or likely draw will secure qualification to the next round (and it’s ever so precious profits).

By: Nick | No Comments
In the ever corporate world of modern football, the loyal fans seem to be losing their voices. Season ticket prices rise. Traditional kick-off times are changing. Standing up to will your team to a win is becoming a ghost of the past - especially in the all too corporate Premiership.
