Manchester United.........
The club that football freaks (soccer that is)....either worship, adore....or loathe....
Fact is that ManU has been tremendously successfull since the end of last century and relentlessly continue to stomp their mark on the game of football as we know it today,......ruthlessly efficient, setting benchmarks for other teams to equal........
Having nurtured and brought forward many world class players like Cantona, Beckham, Christiano Ronaldo, Keane, just to name a few......it is no surprise that the club has garnered such a tremendous worldwide following,......proof of which are the full capacity crowd they attract at their home and away games and on their yearly overseas tour stints.......
Read my last year's posting regarding their stop here in Kuala Lumpur......
In the corridors of the Venetian, Macau was an outlet that caught our eyes......."Manchester United Experience"/cum fan shop......
Let me first state for the record that my family and me included are definitely NOT Manchester United fans......quite the opposite.......but a free entrance ticket was provided with our hotel booking, and heck.......since it was "gratuit"......let's pay it a visit and see for ourselves what it is about........
Must admit, hats off,........one gets immersed in the MU's culture, some interactive titbits for the lesser mortals like us, and once being through this MU experience at their Theatre of Dreams.......we were more inclined to part with our hardearned cash in their overprized fan shop........definitely not, in their (MU) dreams that is.........
Smart way of doing business though, exploiting and expanding their presence in the regions of the Far East........thumbs up to the MU marketing buffoons
