Default Soccer UK Manchester United Training Ground Report

Attended the Carrington training ground today to try to get a few
Autographs on a shirt and trading cards. Unlike other trips to
Carrington, I found the other people there quite freindly.From about
12.00 noon, the players will exit the ground in their cars at speed
down a long road.You can either stand at the bottom gate or further up
at another barrier nearer the players car park.I would assume most of
the other people at the bottom gate were profesionals, judging by the
items and the ammount of signatures they were asking for. There were a
handfull of kids and parents at the top gate. You have to hope that
the players will stop their cars and sign. Listening to the chat in
the pack at the bottom gate, you have more chance at the bottom gate.
According to the pack, players who never stop include the Nevil
Brothers, Roy Keene, Paul Scholes and Silvestre. Ruud Van Nilstolry is
about a 30% chance. All the others are good. Manager Sir Alex Fergeson
only signs at the top gate. I got Silvestre (suprisingly),Gemba Gemba,
Nicky Butt, Roy Carrol and a couple of others. The best was Kliberson
who signed LOADS and posed for a photo for me. You can get to it off
the M60 junction 8. Turn left at the first big lights and keep going.
Head for the big electricity pylons.
