Been United fan for life. Been a member for 4 years now and considering putting name on list for season ticket.

Can anyone explain to me the Automatic Cup Scheme. Have i got it right that you buy a season ticket on the provision that your billed for all the cup games at OT regardless of whether you want to go or not.

Also what are current season ticket holders views on the scheme and if I am to apply now, when would i be likely to get a season ticket.

i am a member to, i have put my name down on the waiting list. i have heard that u r usually offered a season ticket in the quadrants. (one of the more expensive.) i have also heard that there could be more on offer if the prices are put up anymore.
their is no harm in putting your name down, at least you get a choice that if u r offered one u can say yes or no.
the automatic cup scheme means that every season ticket holder gets a guaranteed ticket for every Manchester United home game. (F.A cup, Carling Cup and Europe.) you dont get a choice u get the tickets.

if u didnt want to go 4 any reason or you couldnt make it u can sell the tickets on ticket exchange.

hope that helps

Or sell it on here obviously.

And the cup scheme is a lot of crap, from the season ticket holders.

Gill said there will be a tweak with it for next season.

hopefully that tweak will be that it aint compulsary.

as much as i love united. evening game watching youth team in carling cup at £30 plus travel just dont cut it for me.

Only realised this season that champ league game tickets cost more for each round. Does it cost more to run the stadium for a semi-final than a quarter-final. Prices for these games are extortionate

Money making scheme. Nothing we can do. Everyone will pay it though.

Heard a rumour about that it will be only making Europen games compulsory, although anything can be happening.

prices now are making supporters think twice. At the bolton game i was in the east stand and there were loads of empty seats and also in the quadrants so making it so expensive aint gonna fill the ground for the games against lesser teams where it also may be televised.

Also suppose you could argue that where are these same fans who fight like mad to get tickets for the big 4 games

Yeah, but the European Cup latter stages are must-see games, with guarnteed good atmosphere. You know we'll have our best team out, and look at the prize at the end.

I know a load of lads who are jacking in the ST next year.

As a United fan, all games are must see games. The only problem is when you cant physically afford to go.

Going to live football matches is now a luxury very few people can afford and genuine die-hard fans are missing out as a result to Roy Keane's Prawn Sandwich brigade (South Stand especially)

If you want evidence of that then look at the South Stand during any game and see how many camera flashes there are. Then take a quick look at the other stands and there are nowhere as many

Yes, taking pictures is all well and good before the game, but not when they're about to take a corner and you shove some fat camara in Giggs' face!

Yes, unfortunatley Old Trafford is a tourist attraction. Football is meant to be something the working-class man looks forward to at the weekend after a tough week at work.

Only put the true, non-muppet United fans in Old Trafford, you'll find it hard to fill a stand.
