In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
From what I heard, and this may be wrong, you had to buy a $150 ticket which would give you a ticket to the game and to the training session, amongst a few other perks. Can't afford that with a wedding coming up.
Not sure. I thought they would be available in KC as they were in other places.
Yep. I just called the Wizards office and got into the training session.
Did you have to get the VIP package, or did you manage to swing something?
Got the VIP package. $150 and an 8 hour drive is well worth it for me.
I'll be snapping loads of pics on Sat and Sun.

They haven't emailed them to me yet. I'll find out soon.
Whats with the silly stadium names in the MLS?
Arrowhead is actually the stadium for the NFL team the Kansas City Chiefs. Wizards used to play there until they moved to Community America Ballpark while their own stadium is being built.
If anyone is headed to the match this weekend, there are still 15 VIP packages available for $150, which excludes the actual match tickets, which run about $20.

not sure about this tour, but i saw united train in chicago in maybe 2005 and it wasn't free. fortunately, i managed to get some free tix!
Hernandez will not be in the lineup for this one correct? does he link up for the next match?
Not sure. Anyone ??
I'm in the front of section 217, I think it's club level
Pretty sure he's joining the team after this one for the next game.

not very precise are they 
Really liked so far from what I've seen of Obertan. It would be nice to see Amos get some time, but its probably more realistic to see Van der Sar, who needs some games before season starts.
I expect
Van der Sar
Rafael
Smalling
Brown
O'Shea
Obertan
Gibson
Fletcher
Giggs
Berbatov
Diouf

Fox, Glenn Beck and Palin would have a field day -- socialist dictator running the US?
Interesting. Have never seen any stats on numbers of United supported per country. Anyone know how many are supposed to be in the UK? Ireland?
That would be my best guess as well. I think I remember reading that he'll join up with the team next week and I'd be surprised if he didn't play in Texas on Wednesday since there's a large Mexican population there.
I am pretty sure there are more London Reds than there are United fans in Greater Manchester. however I would imagine the largest chunk of United fans are in Asia.
They are like the Beatles when they are there.When United visited Korea two years ago, over 60,000 tickets were sold out in six hours. The official ticket agency’s website was down due to heavy traffic (over 130,000 people tried to log on and buy tickets at the same time).
Chelsea and Barcelona visited Korea before the Reds and all tickets were sold out - but not in just six hours. So even the appeal of another top Premier League or European team just isn't the same as United's. United is special.
Hope we get to see Nani this time around.
I just came to know Indian football player Chhetri plays for the Kansas Wizard. He is yet to debut for them though in MLS. Playing United would be a dream..
.At least I won't have to stay up really late to see this one. 24 hours and 20mins to go until the supposed kick off time. If the last 2 are anything to go by though the kick off will be about 20mins late coz of all the feckin' about they do.
Hoping to see VDS, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Park, Rooney and Hernandez in this one.

The WC players start training on Wednesday. In Manchester.
They aren't even back in training yet and only Hernandez is joining the tour for the game in Mexico. The WC players only return to training next week.
I thought this was tonight
cant fecking wait although kc sucks a bit
When is this game on date and time uk? It's spinning me out all this different time zones throwing me right off!
Coverage starts Sunday, July 25th, 2010 at 23:00 UK Time
Kickoff will probably be 10-20 minutes later.
Cheers mate perfect response
Update: Evra is with Park in S. Korea. Saw a news blurb about them attending the opening of the Park Ji Sung Youth Football Centre in Park's hometown or somewhere thereabouts.
Is it being shown on TV in the US?
