Following his substantial win today on the Blades Super Draw, our Chairman Brian Walton has said that when the lunches resume he would like to buy each member a drink. Brian says watching United over the last twelve months has been difficult and he hopes that this will lift the SPIRITS of everybody ahead of the new season. Just make yourself known to Brian when you arrive at the lunch.
