VICTORY FOR MUDSA

Last updated : 20 February 2003 By Editor
The boycott of the Worthington Cup final by United's official disabled
supporters club has been dropped after Football League officials opted to let
ticket holders in for free.

The club's secretary Phil Downs said: "This is an important victory for us.
Although our members would no doubt prefer to pay for their tickets and be
assured of a decent view, at least the problem cannot be ignored again."

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and striker Diego Forlan, whose sister
Alejandra was badly injured in a road accident 11 years ago, both gave public
backing to MUDSA's fight.

"We are grateful to Alex and Diego, and everyone else at the club who
supported us,'' said Downs.
