Part-time fan in our group of mates was interested until he found out it’s their Under 21s and the only player he’d likely know is Tom Huddlestone (player-coach).
Should be a decent fitness run-out as an alternative to a midweek league fixture for us that week.

Be interesting to see how we fare against that type of opposition given some of our team are the same age. Watched quite a bit of u21 football a few years back. The better players often went and did well in decent L1 teams later that season. Others got appearances in the Carabou Cup games. The next season they were moved on to Championship clubs, or sometimes into the first team squad. Most made careers in the FL. |

Anyone know why there was no option to pick which block to sit in?

Anyone know why there was no option to pick which block to sit in? Because it's not reserved seating. You sit where you choose in the chosen stand. |

Not as bad tho as the showbiz XI that played at Slade prison that promised The Goodie but sent the weather man from Anglia television instead. |

They’ve just handed a short-term deal to Jonny Evans, who’ll link up with the youth team for some of their friendlies. Wonder whether we might see him at the Deva if this contract lasts until then. |

Say the might words Manchester United and everyone will buy tickets regardless, a great earner and won’t matter diddly squat who lines up.

Isn’t the reserves, even. It’s the Under 21s.

Not at all, as we have sold 1,800 season tickets. Be nice if, say, 500 who don't go regularly did some league games. |

Probably the best way to get them to come back is to make them feel welcome and host an enjoyable game, whether it's they're first game or their 1,000th.

The number of tickets sold is already about double the attendance for when a Man United XI visited the Deva in pre-season in 2002. I remember people saying at the time how surprised they were by so few of their fans living in the area turning up for it, particularly as every kid in Chester seemed to be wearing a United shirt back then.

I remember we played Everton about 20 years ago 6000 in the ground and loads outside . |

Only got to go around Hoole on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. United and scousers lead the way, Everton behind City these days. |
