ONE UNITED

While millions of Manchester United supporters around the world have been celebrating the triumphant end to the 2002/3 Premiership campaign, the club itself has been working hard on a new membership scheme aimed at bringing those fans even closer to the club they love.

Under the new scheme, called One United and launched today, Reds of all ages will be able to keep up with the action and news from the club, get to know their team better, and enjoy a range of benefits under a unique loyalty rewards programme.

Benefits for One United members include the right to apply for tickets to home matches, access to a range of exclusive members-only events, publications and merchandise, and “money can’t buy” experiences such as specially arranged visits to watch United train and trips to Champions League away games.

One United members will also automatically benefit from a range of discounts if they visit Old Trafford for a Stadium Tour, the Museum, the Red Café and the Megastore.

Sir Alex says: “One United allows all our fans to show their support for the club and for us to say thanks for that support, whether members regularly come to Old Trafford or not. It’s the fans who make the club what it is today and One United will enable them to get closer to Old Trafford wherever they live.”

Manchester United already has 150,000 members in what is the largest membership scheme in British football.
