Wigan fans help give Man Utd a home game atmosphere


Enterprising Latics selling tickets at 1,000% mark-up

Dave Whelan

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has done all that he can to make sure United have a super comfy stay in Greater Manchester this Sunday. Firstly, he cancelled a mid-week rugby game to make sure the surface was all lovely and smooth. Then, instead of sounding a war cry to his title-hungry opponents, he has told Sky Sports he would be ‘delighted’ to see Steve Bruce take over from Alex Ferguson this summer, should he retire.

Fergie and Whelan already have a solid relationship - the United gaffer was the guest of honour when the JJB opened in 1999, and according to various made up sources, the chairman sometimes lets the red-faced Scotsman tickle his belly like a cat.

Now, the Wigan supporters are doing their bit to bring Alex Ferguson his tenth title. According to The Guardian, Manchester Utd’s 4,928 allocation sold out last month, but Wigan expect as many as 20,000 extra Red Devils to be locked

If today has taught us anything, it’s that rare and collectable items can sell for unthinkable amounts of money. Just look at the Marilyn Monroe sex tape.

Who’d have thought that a fifteen minute recording of the world’s most lusted after Hollywood starlet gently felating the most famous President of the United States (possibly) would be of absolutely any interest to anyone?

What Liverpool fans will be wearing tomorrow


Inevitable comedy garment goes on sale

Gillett

Apparently, Liverpool fans are a tad unhappy with their American owners at the moment (I know, I had no idea either!) and now they have the opportunity to show their distaste via the medium of the t-shirt slogan. Pick up your slice of the famous Kop humour on eBay, and then spend the rest of the afternoon thinking of a ‘Hicks’ pun. I had a go, but my ideas would probably have me driven out of most southern US states with a pitchfork.

United fans selling Munich scarves on eBay


Red Devils have unique way of showing respect

UPDATE: eBay have now removed all Munich memorabilia scarves from their listings.

Munich Memorial Scarves

The powers that be at Manchester United were delighted to see both sets of fans pay their respects for those who died in the Munich Air Disaster on Sunday, but they didn’t count on the enterprising nature of their fans after the game.

A plastic package containing a striped scarf could be found on each of Old Trafford’s 76,000 seats (including 3,000 for the away supporters) which were meant to be displayed during the minute’s silence. But why take the scarf out of its packaging and ruin its integrity as a ‘pristine’ item on eBay?
