Do season tickets generally include home cup games now then? Been a while since I had mine at Crewe, but it was league games only.
Or are there different types at Utd?
United however are making ST holders buy ALL home cup games, so a lot just cant afford to do so.

I don't like Londoner's anyway so i'm not bothered if they get screwed over with the cup game thing.

So does Man Utd force season ticket holders to buy tickets for cup matches at home until they are knocked out? Thats shocking if thats the case!!
Yep.
Not true
League Cup tickets are optional, as of last season
Oh thats OK then, as long as they dont need to buy league cup tickets 
TBH you know their is a problem when your own fans take you to task over what you are doing.

I don't think there was too much of an argument at first with the scheme, but it all came from when they made it compulsory to buy the tickets for the league cup game against coventry and the side fielded was ignorant. And it was a shocking performance, that's what forced the kick off
If strong teams were starting i don't think to many would have complained

Nah, it kicked off in the summer when United sent out the ST renewals and this all became aware.
Only reason I know is my mate is a United fan, and he goes the match with the guy who runs the supporters club (one of them anyway) and he is one of the main guys behind this action against the club.
Its not really down to seeing a weakened side, its the face a lot of the local supporters (and probably the travelling) just cannot afford to spend stupid money on the ST, and then be forced to spend another £35+ on at least 7 or 8 more matches per season.
