I was watching its a knock out on tv - presented by some kiddie fiddler chap. Seems logical that the big suits and massive heads could be used for professional football and crowds alike. Easy solution surprised no one has thought of it yet. And here come the Belgians...
Bought our 2 yesterday, don’t expect to see any footie soon.
Hibs have sold a lot. 7,000 my friend in Edinburgh was telling me last week.
How many have we sold? After the Early Bird it will be the measure of how many loyal Arabs are making their donation.
(me for one btw).
Still to get mine. Would have expected its to sell 5000-5500 in normal times
I haven't renewed yet, I probably will at the deadline as the price goes up so much.
What has put me off so far is the way United are treating it as if everything is normal, just give us your money. The slogan used is "Join us in the Premiership" which is clearly very unlikely just now. Other clubs have communicated with their fans to say either they will make sure that they get their moneys worth from the season (future credits etc) or at least showing a bit of gratitude/understanding of the fan's situation.
United have so far totally ignored the fact that fans are very unlikely to be allowed admittance any time soon, refused to reply to social media queries (I'm assuming their admins have been told not to), and appear to be banking on people just buying them before the price goes up dramatically in mid June. It feels like the only important thing to United is getting money from the fans rather than making any sort of acknowledgement of the situation or financial sacrifice fans are potentially being asked to make.
That's what has so far put me off.
It's still early though, its still May. I think the club are waiting to see what happens before committing to anything and cant blame them really.
Other clubs may well have communicated to their fans but has every club done this? No, they havent...
each to their own, some will renew regardless and some will hold off, dont blame anyone for their decisions in renewal just now.
