Manchester United

[Zatara]

Donated and raised millions for the homeless, donated £4m to Covid efforts, used his platform to force the government to make a U turn on a policy designed to ensure children starve because they didn’t fancy paying for it and also bought those kids dinner. Just general villainy

Thats impressive, especially the £4mil.

What did he do for the MBE?

Dont think he spent any money did he? Was it just a few tweets & interviews?

Daily Mail reader in ridiculously bad take shock. The only weird thing is that you’re clearly under 40 and you buy into this bollocks, you utter meff.

They're not closing the gap, it's widening.

Be interesting over time to see how sustainable this all is.

All they've done is start to carve out a niche for themselves as the super-glamorous, but super-mad club.

£4k + 19*£97 = £5843

For one person to go and see that shower?

Is this the start of football eating itself?

United have hit end stage capitalism without actually being any good at the capitalism part. Excellent

Football only interested in tourists & once in a blue moon fans it seems.
Trying to price out traditional match going fans.

It is being treated the same as NBA, celebrity courtside fans, there to be seen and celebrate with players, all image, all profile, and to hell with the rest.

The start mate?

We are selling Castore kits for over 100 quid each. It started a while ago.

I don't require that shambles to go and watch the match.

That's fair but it's been about extracting every penny rather than the sport for some time

Dunno if anyone else reads Popbitch but this nonsense is even worse than described:

A new seat filling service

News has started to leak out of Man United that they’re considering setting up a debenture scheme for season ticket holders.

That means that on top of paying for your seat for the season you have to pay a fee just to be allowed to buy it.

The Telegraph has a good story today on the subject - which indicates this debenture fee would be around £4k.

Club whispers, though, suggest this is the lowest fee that would be levied. It could actually be more like 20-30 times the seat price.

Which means that those in the best seats could be looking at an added reservation fee approaching six figures.
