MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hence the Sociedad friendly being so close. It sucks for our match-going fans to go to Burnley on a Monday for the opener. But it's the sad reality. The broadcasters dictate everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Wankers. First day of the season is all sunshine and short shirts, not a fucking Monday evening trek to a shithole.Oh well. We'll sell out our allocation but that's a toughie on the first matchday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well in 2010-11 MU won 3-0 against Newcastle on a Monday and became champion, same with City in 11-12 and 13-14 against Swansea and Newcastle respectively. MU lost on a Monday night opening against Everton in 12-13 and became champion. Maybe just maybe we will win this season :ph34r: :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe one could say the Sociedad game was scheduled this late because the club had information beforehand that the game would be moved to a Monday? It's mostly annoying because it will probably be the only CFC game I will be able to attend until January and I had an earlier and pretty much guaranteed ticket sorted out from my mate who's a season ticket holder. Fuck Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
