Re: So who's renewed their ST?

Our group has bought an additional ticket near us to secure the ticket. But was just wondering if swaps had finished for previous season ticket holders to know if any seats closer to us may come up we can swap to. Or whether non renewals have been released yet.

Update. I keep Muric at 8 and think he can be better aerially but seeing the highlights it was a clear foul on him.

Re: Arijanet Muric

He had a good match. His passing is excellent and crucially he does it rapidly; that helps our momentum in attack. But I don't think there is more than a cigarette paper between him and Trafford in shot stopping and both are poor aerially. I think Muric coming in was the right decision, but let's no...
