Dear Member

MUFC renewals and new memberships for 2025/2026 season have already opened. Last season MUFC received over 485,000 applications and as we are unaware until when they will remain open with such high demand, the Branch is ready to accept applications for renewals and new memberships for the coming season.

Membership Fees

As there has been an increase of £2.50 to the MUFC adult membership fees for this coming season, we, the committee have decided to make the following membership types & adjustments to the local fees –

We believe that these adjustments to the local fees, will for this coming season, support financially our family members plus also honour our most devoted members for all their years of support.

Due to the new Manchester United Supporters Club’s (MUSC) Charter, the MUFC fees and the Local Branch fees have to be separated, nevertheless, the amount payable is as shown on the total column highlighted of the above table.

Membership Types & Benefits

Local Benefits

Remember that by becoming a member of the Manchester United Supporters Gibraltar Branch, you are entitled to the following benefits –

• Entry to our annual trip raffle, worth up to £750 to cover expenses (for every five attendances on match days, you get an extra entry for next seasons raffle).
• Access to Home Match Tickets.
• Watch matches at our premises.
• Enjoy our match day food menu, exclusively to official members.
• Free Children’s Christmas Party.
• Attend special events organised by the Committee.
• Occasionally have free food or drinks on match days.

Application Forms

You will soon receive by post your renewal form, together with those of your family, if applicable. If any of your personal information has changed, please amend/update in the column provided. If you need blank forms for new members, click here.

The Importance of Early Renewals

Firstly, entry to our trip raffle, which will take place at our Annual General Meeting beginning of June. Only those members that have renewed before or on the date of the AGM, will be eligible to the draw.

Secondly, ticket allocations, as they are dependent on the number of members we have registered with MUFC as at 1st August. It is therefore in the interest of all members that the Branch has the highest possible number of members registered by that deadline. We will therefore be grateful if you renew your membership before the 15th July in order to achieve the greatest ticket allocation possible.

It is for this reason that members who register before the 15th July, will be given priority for match tickets, over those who renew or become members after.

Kind Regards

You might be receiving an email from MU regarding membership renewals for next season.

According to the email, this Sunday is the deadline to order a merchandise pack. As we are unaware if they will be made available to purchase further on during the season, we recommend, that those of you interested in the merchandise pack renew your memberships online and select the merchandise pack before Sunday.

It is our understanding, that the membership pack will cost £15.00 plus £8.50 postage and package, apart from the membership renewal cost.

If you are not interested in the membership pack, then, as in the past, we advise you not to auto renew your membership directly with MU and do so via the branch instead.

Next week, the Committee will meet to discuss our membership renewal process for the 25/26 season, which will hopefully be available as from April.

Kind Regards

During the festive period, the clubs opening days & times shall be as follows:

The club will be closed from the 1^st January – 4^th January in order to allow our new caterer to setup. We will re-open on the 5^th January as normal, together with the match against Liverpool later on during the day.

Dear Member

Please see below changes to the MUSC Ticket Allocation Deadlines.

It has just come to our attention that ticket allocations for our final 3 home matches against Wolves, West Ham & Aston Villa are now open and closes on Tuesday 17^th December (Next Week).

We apologize for the short notice, unfortunately, something way out of our control.

Those who already requested tickets, have been submitted to MU.

Kind Regards

Dear Member

We wish to inform you that the Committee has taken the tough decision to part ways with our current caterer Gourmet Products Manuel Rodriguez Ltd. Although he has been a loyal servant to the club for many years, his requested amendments to his renewed contract (which became outdated at the end of September) would have been practically unsustainable to the club and its members.

In honoring the conditions set out initially in his old contract, we have provided him with a 3 month termination notice, which will end on the 9^th February 2025. If his wish is to terminate earlier, it has been agreed, that he would provide us with at least a week’s notice.

It has been a tough call but we strongly believe it to be the correct one for the club and most importantly, you, its members. The Committee has already elected another caterer, who is extremely eager and enthusiastic on taking the club forward and to provide us with the same quality and service, or even better.

The Committee wishes Manuel Rodriguez Trigo all the best in the future and hope he will continue to provide us with the great service he has always provided us with, until the end.

Kind Regards

Dear Member

Yesterday afternoon, the Committee met and one of the topics in the agenda was to discuss future annual branch trips and the trip raffle procedure. During the past few years, there has been little interest to none from the membership in travelling to Old Trafford as an official branch. Could it be because the team is not performing? Could it be because we are no longer allowed to visit Carrington Training Grounds to meet the players? Or, could it be because it is now easier to organize your own trip, instead of waiting for the Committee to organize it for you, who knows?

We decided that for the time being, the Committee would not be organizing any future official branch trips; nevertheless, there will still be a raffle. The winner of the raffle will be able to choose up to two consecutive home matches of his/her choosing, within a week’s timeframe and the travel expenses of up to a maximum of £750 will be paid for by the Committee (Flight & Hotel receipts must be produced). The Committee will not pay traveling expenses of family or friends accompanying the winner.

The draw, as from next season, will take place at our Annual General Meeting at the end of the season. Only those who have become official members for the new season before the AGM will be eligible to the draw. Conditions of entry to the raffle continue the same, which were –

• One ticket for becoming an official member of the club, for the new season.
• One ticket for every 5 attendances (sign in’s) on match days, of the previous season.
• Every raffle ticket you bought on match days and placed adequately in the provided can, the previous season.

If things were to change and there is enough interest from the membership to revert to the Official Branch Trip, the Committee would be more than happy to do so.

Kind Regards

Dear Member

Yesterday afternoon, as per our previous newsletter, the Committee held a meeting to organise this season’s official trip to Old Trafford. As no member attended and the luck of interest shown by the membership, the Committee members present decided to cancel this season’s official trip.

Nevertheless, the raffle took place and we decided to honour our commitment in covering the expenses of up to £750 to the winner, for a match or two of his choosing.

If this is the way to go from now on, would have to be discussed at our next AGM.
