Sounds like it. I'm more impressed by the opposition team's name!

Cammell Laird is a place in Birkenhead, Merseyside. It is famous for shipbuilding and the football club is over 100 years old.

I'm off to Wembley. Come on you Spurs!

Supported Manchester United from being a young child until 12th May 2005 when the Glazer parasites took control I follow them from a distance now.

I am a founder member and season ticket holder at FC United of Manchester in the Unibond Prem

Nice one im with you on that, havent had the FC experience yet tho

Manchester City fan and very proud of it. Had a season ticket since I was 9 (28 years ago !), been there through the thin and thin.........lived in Whitefield, Manchester all my life and moved the mighty distance of 2 miles into Bury 2 years ago. Al this money that's been bestowed on me made me feel very uncomfortable initially, however, I'd love some success just to know what it feels like ! As long as prices stay pegged back.........witnessing another infuriating season watching The Blues !

I am a fan of South Melbournre FC (nee South Melbourne Hellas) as someone who recently hit my blog from here has probably found out.

Season started last week, we lost 1-0 due to an awful own goal. It's ur 50tth anniversary this year and we play our biggest rivals at home tomorrow.

I'm a fan of the once mighty Leeds United... Hopefully we will win the playoffs and get promoted this year! Fingers crossed

Snap. Though I try and keep it quiet these days!!

You should be proud that you supported them through the hard times! I know I am. So many people lost hope in Leeds, its good that there are still loads of loyal fans

Blackburn Rovers supporter.
What a horrible season weve had, glad weve managed to stay up though

Played rather well yesterday my team won 6-0, i got 2 of them first time this season pity it was the last game of the season In my defence, i'm consistently played out of position i'm a striker, and they insist on playing me in defence

F***king football.....

I can see you're from Newcastle - I can feel your pain hesh.

Thanks for that ticky, you're a

*puts on tin hat*

Man United fan here , went to my first match in 1971 fell in love with them, and have been a tad obsesed ever since

Be interesting to see how they react to the changes in the team in the coming season , and I still can't get my head round the Owen thing

The clue's in my username... I'm a Southampton fan. Not that there's much to be proud of at the moment. At least the club now has new owners and I can hopefully look forward to seeing the team I support make it's way back into the top flight and becoming the pride of Hampshire once more. The less said about P*rtsmouth, the better.

It was really warm in Portsmouth today but I heard it was like -10 in Southampton...

Funny, I've just heard the cold conditions may well be heading your way!

Anyone fancy setting up a board fantasy football league?

I would, if I knew what to do ...

I'm not sure if this topic is meant for this kind of questions, but does anyone have any tips on how to get tickets to a Manchester United game? Man U - Manchester City to be more specific.

Good luck with that!
Do you know anyone who's a season ticket holder for either side, with spares, ..that's probs. your best bet.
As A Man U fan I've basically given up trying to get tickets for any of the big games ..it's virtually impossible and for the Derby they'll be like gold dust.
You could try some of the tout, I mean ticket agencies, but you'll pay well over the odds .I've been quoted over £200 for a game before now
If it's a special event like a bithday/anniversary OT do these corporate packages that are hideously expensive but I suppose as one off you get your money's worth ie wined and dined,night in a 4* hotel, top seats at match , meet and greet with the players and a host to look after the group/give a talk during the meal,usually an ex star player.
Every xmas and birthday I drop large hints but so far none of my friends have have bought me one .... i wonder why

The Manchester Derby is in September and as a City season ticket holder with a lot of loyalty points I'll be OK to get one of the 3,000 that will be available in the away end. As Liz said it'll be virtually impossible if you're after one as a one off, say. Wouldn't disagree with anything of the above that Liz has stated.

Won't be a lot easier to bag tickets when United visit the boys in blue in April, either.

I love United to bits, but the ticket thing really winds me up, I hardly ever get to see them nowadays unless it's on telly, or the preseason things , League Cup etc
I know I should be happy they are so popular, and so much revenue comes in, but still I envy peeps who support smaller clubs ,for want of a better word, that if they fancy going to the match can just turn up on the day
I'm a member of One United which is supposed to make things easier, yeah right but it does crack me up when they start pimping the League cup games, you must get half a dozen postcards asking you to buy tix
