Default Queensland Man United supporters?

Hello,

We are hoping to arrive in Queensland (Gold Coast) in 2/3 months. My husband and the boys are huge Man U fans and I have been searching tinternet trying to find a supporter's club, official or otherwise, but have not had much luck

Does anybody have any details of any MUFC supporter's clubs or groups please? Or any details of good places to watch to match when we arrive?

Many thanks in anticipation of your help, and I am bracing myself for any Man Sh***y fans, or fans of the wrong shade of red that want to throw their hats in

Ren.

By the look of the tourists the official Fan Club seems to be based in Tokyo these days, give 'em a bell

We are not actually from Manchester, we live on the Wirral and are surrounded by Liverpool, Everton and Tranmere fans so are used to suffering for our team!!

I don't think there is one tbh.

I also don't think you should concern yourself too much with finding a place to watch them as the matches are on during the night here, for instance I watched the hammerring of the ARSE on Sunday at 3.15AM.

You can get foxtel here (same as sky) and they show a fair few UTD matches (more than Sky in England do) but I like to watch them all so I watch on the internet, theirs some free sites that can be ok but not always reliable, I use a site I paid for that gives a more reliable feed of the matches.

Cheers and don't listen to the crap from the (jealous) posters above

Is Paladini still there? He once tried to buy Port Vale, stating that his son had watched PV in a cup final (??) and he fell in love with the colour of the strip. He also once, allegedly, tried to buy Notts County, spouting the same line.

Last I'd heard he was the victim of some armed robbery at QPR while a game was being played???!!!

I used to have a lot of time for QPR until they forced a 4-4 draw at PV after being 4-0 down at half time. The match was on the TV I recall

Thanks, though I don't think I would be persuaded to jump ship because another team has more money and celebrity owners!?! Results?

Thanks, I know it would mean watching in the middle of the night, but what a great excuse for an all night party with like minded folk? (not talking swinging or any weird stuff, just football!!)

I know what you mean, watching with your mates etc is always a better atmosphere but the times really do mess it up, when its on at 3am I just go to bed early and set the alarm then stay awake after it finishes.

The best matches are played at 12pm UK time and that can be 9 or 10 pm here so easy to go to the pub, but it doesnt happen too often as UTD many times are on at that bloody 5:15pm slot

Grrr I suppose thats the price you pay for being the best most entertaining and well supported club in the land if not the world

I was at both games too! Yes, it was a bit tasty afterwards as I recall.

Always had a soft spot for QPR for some reason - maybe it was their hooped shirts??

I like to watch the Roar i.e sitting outside, supping lager on a warm evening, watching the footie

Very different to shivering at Vale Park with a bovril and a lukewarm pie for company
