BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Man Utd | Man Utd face court date with fan

I don't think he'll win but it's bad publicity for the club. It just shows how ruthless football clubs are these days, trying to squeeze every penny out of the fans.

That's disgraceful, that will be the Glaziers!! You shouldn't be able to force people to buy extra games, the season tickets are too expensive as they are.

westboy · 18-07-2007, 11:45

I heard him on talksport and I think the argument is that it wasn't made clear enough as they only changed the smallprint.

I just looked at their site and it makes it clear now. The court will probably say the correct information was always there. They are allowed to have the scheme obviously because if people think it's a bad deal then they don't have to buy it. Still disgraceful though I agree.

A moral victory this year and some bad press which is welcomed.

Next year the loophole will be closed.

Moral Victory? What moral victory and for who?

The little man vs the coorporation.

boro_boy · 18-07-2007, 17:04

But do you think the "little man" will win?

I really hope he does. The FA should put a price cap on the the tickets prices as the "normal" fan is being priced out and cannot watch the games.

kiko · 18-07-2007, 17:30

If he got the season ticket before they changed the terms yes.

That's quite bad by Man U, the season tickets already cost a fortune.
