DH off to the Match! (ManU v Boro)

[wils]

One of DH's suppliers has a box at Old Trafford and DH has been invited to watch the match this afternoon (he's a Boro fan.) I've only done Corporate hospitality once (at Cov City's old ground) but it's a totally different world to get a sit down meal beforehand and a cuppa in a proper cup at half time!

Had originally intended to go up with him and go to the Trafford centre but it's a late kick off! I'll be happy in the garden!

hope he enjoys the game ( ive never fancied being in a box....its not the same as being on the terraces yelling loudly at the ref )

My Dh is a Boro fan too - good luck to them !!

My DH was there on Wednesday. His work let him take 3 customers for Corporate Hospitality. He has never been before so was very excited(he tried not to show it of course ).They flew from Aberdeen to Manchester in the morning then went to Hard Rock cafe for the Afternoon the on to Old Trafford for Dinner and the game.They got a trip around the museum as well. They then went on to a casino and home the next day!

Tough to work for a living eh

Never mind he did sweeten me up with some duty free

(he's a Boro fan.) :

Sounds a lovely day for him. We are from the Boro and the youngest supports them, hubbie from Liverpool so he doesn't and oldest isn't into footie.

I hope he enjoyed himself, though really he should've gone to see Cov City get beaten by Sheffield Weds

My husband got given tickets for him and my son in a corporate hospitality box at Old Trafford for the first game of the season. The box, waitress served 3 course meal, seats, view etc was fantastic. Unfortunately their beloved Fulham lost 5-1. Set the tone for the season really.

Still, Boro did well to get a draw there.

Look at all the Boro fans attached to the DIS!

Jackie - sounds like a fab jolly. Dh is bringing me back a cookie though!

Hildasmurial - what a shame on the result The first match I took DH to (at Luton Town!) the Boro lost 5-1. We were sitting in home end as I was a member and the kid in front of us figured quickly DH was a Boro fan and grinned at him after every goal

He had a lovely time thanks with a nice meal and from what he said on the phone a good performance from the Boro (sounds like they were on top second half). Just the drive home now for him now but he should be back at 10ish

Mandy - I can quite believe Cov City lost again! Took Molly a couple of weeks ago (quite an experience with a fidgety 4-year-old!) and they didn't have a clue up front or in midfield. Acutually their defence wasn't too hot either which doesn't leave much does it! . I'd forgotten how theraputic it was to shout at the players and the ref.
