A customer of mine was pals with Sean Moore (the Manics ‘little’ drummer) and this customer wanted to go to the Cardiff v Leeds FA Cup tie but wanted to bring Sean with him. We sorted it out… the club had extra hospitality organised at the old athletic stadium and we used that… and then had seats in the Grandstand…
Judging by my conversations with Sean and how he celebrated our goals I’m pretty sure he had some passion for CCFC, although he did retreat rather quickly when it all kicked off at the end of the game🤣.
Unrelated but similar… Same customer but this time the game was the play-off semi against Stoke.. he again brought along a guest but this time it was Nicky Piper…who was really good company
