Carrington to be sponsored ?

The Telegraph is reporting the Glazers are considering selling naming rights to Carrington training complex.

Are you for, against or indifferent?

I am totally against. Where does it end? If Carrington gets a ridiculous deal then no doubt Old Trafford would be considered as a future option.

Any attempts to hit the glazers in the pocket would impact on United, it is a tough ask for fans to forgo attending matches as a protest.

Spurs had empty seat at the top of the Quadrants

-------------------
I'm at the back of the NW quadrant on Sunday

probably the worst place in the ground

"That simply isn't true

I get tickets through the ballots so I know for a fact many home games were not a total sell out last season"

Well it must be, because I got only one ticket through a ballot last season, having applied for about 7!

spurs tickets were on open sale to non members in the end.

Keep checking the MUFC website. You will get some tickets.

I applied for virtually every game (4 tickets too)

Most went on open sale

I'm guessing you applied for big games which will sell out

Both Chelsea games
Liverpool
The Derby
Blackpool
Shalke
arsenal

UnitedRedMacca- I taught Rooney and berbatov the overhead kick (U2024)
--------------------------------------

Yeah, granted I did apply for all the big games.

It's interesting though as I was only applying for one ticket.

I've heard that the more you apply for through the ballot, the more likely you are to receive them.

As if you account has a score depending on how often you apply. Not sure how true this is...

you can apply for as many as you want but only if the people you apply for are also OneUnited members and you can provide their membership numbers

You should apply for lesser games

I didn'y get tickets for Blackpool and when I phoned to complain they told me they dont give preferential treatment to fans that attend regularly

Its purely a ballot on your membership number

I'll be going less this season

I meant the more games you apply for.

Eg, If I just apply for City, Liverpool and Chelsea, I'm less likely to be successful than someone who has previously applied for Norwich, Fulham, Swansea, Everton and Bolton.
