Anyone know when you can buy tickets for the Man Utd match. My brother has nabbed my ticket and I'm off on holiday next week until a couple of days before the game. Can you order them in advance ?

I think your best bet is to check nufc.co.uk they seem to keep fairly up to date with it. They'll announce when general release of the tickets is and then you just phone up for them or go to the box office. If you phone there is a £2 charge for handling and postage, but it's fine if you live away from the area.

Anybody in the vicinity to SJP mind popping in and getting us a couple? I'm up with some mates for the Great North Run that weekend and need to do some pre-run sports training.
