I will ask my son to go and get you one if you want to PM me your address and I will post it to you. I expect you to reimburse me when I arrive in Perth, something along the lines of a year's free chauffeuring me about to wherever I want to go should do it lol :wink:

 

I'm assuming that the City set up is similar to that of United where you can just rock along and buy one from one of the stands around the stadium, as we're not City supporters.

 

Anyone want anything United, let me know as that's where the son works lol.

I've PM'd you, but both son and hubby pass by the stadium regularly, hubby works a 2 minute walk away and if I'm nice to him, I can persuade him to pop in and get you one, preferably without defacing it before I post it to you!! He's a solid United fan :biggrin:
