Howsit mate. Any hook up for a pass to the press conf? I have tickets to the match and the training session(Both tunnel side) I want to be as close as I can man… I’ve been to every single man united match in CT so far, and I want this to be the best yet. if you can hook me up somehow… oh man! I’d repost and reblog everything yo do for the rest of my life! If you check out my facebook and twitter pages, you’ll see how much United mean to me. I am also an official member of the United supporters club of SA. Would be amazing to be a part of all of it.
Unfortunately they are only having 10 media there and somehow I cracked the invite… I do work with DHL and have a good relationship with them so I suppose they appreciate my time and what I do for them! I can’t even take a +1 of my own mates unfortunately… Sorry buddy!
