"Your tickets are secure, are you f**king sure"

​Despite Manchester United’s assurances that digital NFC tickets are fully secure, a major flaw in the @SeatGeek ticketing platform leaves supporters highly vulnerable to unauthorised access. By knowing a fan's Supporter ID and just their surname or postcode, anyone can unauthorisedly view, download, and use their tickets without the owners knowledge.

This has already resulted in legitimate ticket holders being turned away at both home and away matches because their tickets had already been scanned.

​The issue was deliberately kept quiet during the season to minimise disruption, but with the Premier League aiming for fully digital tickets next season, it must be prioritised over the summer. The risk is exacerbated by a club culture where fans have widely shared their Supporter IDs for ticket-forwarding purposes, and instances where Manchester United emails have inadvertently exposed this information. The author urges @SeatGeek and the club to implement a secure, user-led authorizlsation process rather than relying on flawed off-the-shelf solutions.

Please repost, this is important for all clubs now digital ticket is the future, not just #MUFC

@MiddyRed68 @barneyrednews @NormanWhiteside Absolutely!!! Would love to find those photos!!! 😂

Lovely mention of Mike Mullins in this week’s @UWSmag - he taught me in 1997-99 before he moved to Stretford Grammar. Really thoughtful words @AndyMitten ❤️

Afraid Casemiro failed the audition to sell United We Stand today (and he’s otherwise occupied). So we went a little further south to get this lad, who is back at Old Trafford for the first time in 22 years.

@barneyrednews Done - in for another season!!! Good luck with the campaign @barneyrednews 🔴⚪️⚫️

@BearsCork C+ (at best). Looks like a massive drop off after round one, but will give it time

[Craig Batty @Craig_Batty]

@BearsCork My board fell really oddly so had to double up at DT - would probably trade down IRL...

I will NEVER forget Caleb Williams' game-winning TD to DJ Moore in OT vs. the Packers 👏

Jon Holmes, Britain's first big sports agent, is retiring after 50 years of looking after Shilton, Lineker, Gower, Atherton and many more.

Here's my story-packed interview with him for @ObserverUK

@HaleDonal @RogersHistory @TTRadioOfficial Mate, your talk was amazing. Thanks to @RogersHistory and everyone at @TTRadioOfficial for organising. As I said to you today: every time I hear you speak, I wish I was still HOD 👏👏👏❤️

[Craig Batty @Craig_Batty]

@BearsCork Left at least 7 points on the field; a nice 3 and out to start the second half would be ideal…

[Craig Batty @Craig_Batty]

Yesterday was too mad to read these probably, but have finished both this morning - two brilliant editions, even more so given all the hasty rewriting that must have taken place after the Amorim sacking!!!

Top effort as always @barneyrednews @AndyMitten @UWSmag 👏👏👏

@FootballEJ UK Bears fan here - for me it was Payton, McMahon and The Fridge on the Sunday morning highlights on Channel 4. Being there for the Bears ‘home’ game in London was awesome, but will definitely get to Soldier Field eventually!!!

@barneyrednews @ManchesterMind Top effort mate! Nearly missed it but donated now 👏👏👏

[Craig Batty @Craig_Batty]

@Willo_1969 @barneyrednews Agreed - @barneyrednews and @UWSmag have been two of the bright spots in an otherwise very tedious and frustrating 2025 👏

[Craig Batty @Craig_Batty]

@BearsCork But, but… completion percentage? Painted nails? 😂

@BearsNationCHI It’s 4:50am in the UK and I am wide awake 😂
