I am bored *hitless of the never ending diet of the TV picking MU & Liverpool games. The game this time with Liverpool playing Lincoln or Mansfield is understandable but WHU v MU is like any bog standard weekend league game.

I would rather watch L*ton get smacked or even Harrogate/Hastings than what is being served up.

Just hope this enthusiasm attracts some of the fair weather fans to the lesser games! We could be playing these teams weekly next season!

I'd far rather miss out on the TV money if it means we get an extra couple of thousand making the trip rather than staying on the sofa.

I got 3 tickets at £46.50 each but I'll be in Manchester before some have even got out of bed! Leave at 06.51!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!

I might be too hammered to even watch the game!!!!

Also coming back a bit later at 20.35.

One bonus is that we don't need to change on either journey!

To the many Hampshire Hornets - use Flybe before the price gets bumped up.
