There was a time not so long ago that Manchester United season tickets were cherished family heirlooms. The tickets were passed through the generations from father to son or else to friends of the family. Back then securing a season ticket, even one on loan, was nigh on impossible, because they were as rare as hens teeth.

At that time Manchester United knew full well that among the list of season ticket holders were the names of several thousand dead men these former supporters might well have gone on to a higher place but their cherished season tickets still bore the name of the deceased, it was for this reason ManUtd offered a ticket amnesty to those in possession of what used to be regarded by the holder as their most prized asset.

These were the days when being a Manchester United season ticket holder actually meant something - for one thing, you knew that if the Reds were lucky enough to reach a final at Wembley then in all probability you'd be there. There used to be three classes of Manchester United supporter: Season Ticket holders, League Match Ticket Book holders (LMTBs) and JCL (Johnny Come Lately).

Well, the Glazers' have completely ruined all of that and now anyone can get a season ticket, the demand that has gone. United are in a sorry mess where its finances are concerned. Instead of shopping with the big boys in the transfer market, Sir Alex Ferguson is left scratching around for bargains (Michael Owen) and promising youngsters but in fairness the United manager is doing a remarkable job.

While Sir Alex Ferguson is still rightly held with the highest regard by the fans' for his work, many have decided enough is enough. Last season the supporters launched the quite brilliant Green and Gold campaign and we've seen the results this July when United announced they couldn't sell all their season tickets. At that point it became clear the club's much talked about season ticket waiting list had vaporised. The existence of such a list isn't really in doubt, but its worth has been brought into serious question. The waiting list has been used as a tool to put the frighteners on fans who might have been wavering on whether or not to renew their season ticket, but from now on chances are, the so called waiting list will be completely ignored by such fans.
