Welcome to the Sligo Branch of the Manchester United Supporters Club, we will update you with all the latest news from the Sligo Branch of Manchester United Supporters Club.

 

Premier League:  United struggled to another win at home to West Ham on Saturday evening. Two Paul Pogba penaltys saw United win 2-1. Overall it was another flat performance and to be fair West Ham were the better side. Chelsea's defeat away to Liverpool leaves the door open for a top 4 finish but we need to start playing better. 

    

Champions League: United have exited the Champions League in the quarter final stage at the hands of against Barcelona. Barca scored 2 goals in 4 minuter to put the game beyond United. Defencive errors played a big part with Young getting caught in posession for the first and De Gea failing to grasp a weak right footed effort from Messi. Coutinho added a third to make it 3-0 on the night and 4-0 on aggregate, a scoreline that reflects the two games overall. 

 

2019 Annual Raffle: On Thursday 7 March at 9pm we launched our Annual Raffle. From our raffle the Branch will be making a donation to the Northwest Hospice, last year we donated over €5,800 to the Northwest Hospice. All Branch members are asked to help us again this year and support the raffle.

 

Next Branch Meeting: Our next Branch meeting will take place on Thursday 18 April at 9pm in the Embassy. This will be the lasst meeting before our Annual Draw, can we ask members who have their raffle tickets sold to return them on the night.

Ireland West Airport - Knock: May 2016 marked the 30th Anniversary of Ireland West Airport (formally know as Knock Airport) and the opening up of the West of Ireland to many parts or Europe and visa versa. Today, regular flights depart and arrive from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Scotland and various airports in the main cities in England.

 

For members of our Branch, and Manchester United fans in general, Ireland West Airport has made our journey so much easier to get to Manchester to see United play.

With Ryanair flying to Liverpool and Flybe flying directly to Manchester, both on a very regular basis, travel time and cost has been greatly reduced.
