United will have about 3,000 supporters at Anfield and the club will courier white away shirts to them, with delivery expected the day before the game.
All tickets have been sent out by recorded delivery to fans, with United paying the cost, which again is different from how things would be if the game was being played abroad. Normally, travelling fans would collect tickets from a designated point in a European city but, on this occasion, there was nowhere suitable for United fans to collect.
One option considered was the Everton store in the city but they are still selling tickets for their FA Cup quarter-final with Chelsea on Saturday.
It's the last line of that that jumps out. Everton STILL haven't sold out a home Cup quarter-final against Chelsea. 3 days before.
'Peoples Club' my pasty white ****!
