Deputy Jack Honeybill, treasurer of the Guernsey Manchester City Supporters’ Club, hangs on to his £75 Cup Final ticket.

Guernsey Manchester City Supporters’ Club treasurer Jack Honeybill managed to get a ticket to the game at Wembley Stadium and made his way to the UK yesterday.

He had wanted to take his wife, son and daughter but the £300-a-ticket price tag was just too much.

Hearing that Jack Honeybill is a City fan blows any chance of him getting my vote next election!

I agree. Having bought the FA Cup the Daily Mail
(who knows about these things)are saying today that City intend to invest more millions in buying next year’s Premiership title

Perhaps Jack can persuade them to invest in some of our 41 empty shops instead?

I’m afraid my reasons are far more base – I’m a Manchester United fan! ;-)

Me too. But three Hail Marys and a thrashing with a birch twig to you for having such base thoughts

Sorry Ray I don’t have a birch twig to hand, but all is not lost. I hear the Liver bird dropped the seaweed from his beak when he heard United had bagged their 19th title….so maybe I’ll use that instead.
