Thousands of Manchester soccer fans arrived at Llandudno Junction today ahead of the European third round qualifier between local giants, Red Star Colwyn Bay, and celebrated visitors, Manchester United. The match, screened live across Europe, is being played at the impressive 225,000 all seater stadium inside the Passing Clouds holiday complex.
Keen to cement their position as one of the 'Big Three' in North Wales soccer, Red Star go into tonight's match with high hopes of maintaining a winning streak, a run that has seen them earn maximum points out of their last fourteen matches.
Local opinion favours a result for the home side, but caution appears to be uppermost in many of the fan's minds.
"It'll not be easy," Ivor Llewelyn-Jones warned, Red Star's experienced hot pie and filled rolls vendor, who was busy making vital last minute checks to his Calor gas bottles.
Tickets are still available for the match and can be bought from Heather Roberts at reception, or can be reserved by phone on Ext 2465

Ah met Ivor oan the side o' the Ryanair train (not unlike the train ye show) tae Passin' Clouds recently. Discounted travel of course. So ah hud tae sit oan the roof(tricky wae the tunnels)but we hud a good chortle as we flew along at break-neck speed on oor way south. Conversation wiz short lived as he waved tae passers by at the wrong time an' goat whacked by the Glasgow Central Tunnel. Still, the banter wiz good albeit, short lived. Ah'd advise aw future discounted travellers oan this service tae eat their breakfast first as there's no' much room oan the roof tae make a fry up. O.A.Ps get an added discount as coroners give Ryanair a fatality kickback.
Vouchers are also available at the Abbotsford Hotel Tel: 01389 999 and ask for Kenny Coburn. Slainte, Rannoch.
Ivor just got back, Rannoch. He doesn't remember too much of the journey but he does recall the tunnel at Glasgow. He seems to think that someone pushed him... Not on your nelly, i reassured him.
Red Star Colwyn Bay got beat by Liverpool, so there's no talking to Ivor at the moment.
Oh well.
