I sold all my belongings last season and worked as a part time waiter in a chinese restaurant to save up to go to O.T ... i had told my ex-gf at the time ( in august 2005 ) that i was going to make sure i went to O.T to watch United vs Arsenal...i got mocked by both her and ALL my friends ( haha talk about the motivation i got after that ) , saying that i would NEVER ever have the chance to go there, and i could keep dreaming ...
this got me all the more motivated..and really made sure i saved up the money.. ( especially in Lebanon , where making money is BLOODY hard and where life is expensive relatively ) ... so i put in a form to my university saying that i had to go to the U.K for "family reasons" .. i left for a whole month... (april 2006)
I went from beirut...to milan ( i waited 7 hours in airport there, and i met Andrea Pirlo there that day lol ) ... to London ( stayed with my family there ) .. then went to Manchester (where my cousin is a student, and he got me the ticket ) ... a day before United v Arsenal... and when i saw O.T, i was literally in tears...i also took the O.T tour in the midweek that same week...and then saw United v Sunderland ( fuckin game :@ ) ....
All of it...for the BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE...plus the city is amazing....
so my friend..if i could make it ALL the way from beirut, Lebanon....i think u can make it from all the way in the USA...
If u REALLY want to go...put ur head to it...and ull make it
UNITED TIL' I DIE !

Way to go Atsis!! shows your passion and commitment!!...keep it up!! those that call us Glory Hunters should look at you first and see the passion before they say anything...i'll remember this story and definitely tell my other friends and hopefully my children CHEERS!! #thumb#

OK....haveing been inspired I went to British Airways website. I found that I can get a round-trip ticket from New York to Manchester for $285. If I were to get that what is the best way to go about securing tickets to a match?

i was lucky enough that i had my cousin there who could fix me a ticket....usually there are touts outside the ground that sell tickets ( usually overpriced obviously ) ...
so unless anyone has a better idea than that please tell gdprof27...
becoz i'd be really please to know that u went .. come on man ! U can do it !

I would plan to go to the next match against the scousers, then wait until you see some of their supporters and nick one of their tickets.

Grow a beard and wear your pants really high and pretend you're everyones favourite owner?

Get the 53 bus, it must go past your house as it seems to go every where else before arriving at chester road

Sure, because there's no way I want them to be at OT and get comfy....I'd chant "YOU SCOUSE BASTARD" the moment they start singing, and being that I'd be right among them would be even better...though probably not for my health.
