So we insisted on creating another opportunity for these outstanding winners to go to Old Trafford even though we have rounded off Season II of the &#8220;Recharge and Go to Old Trafford&#8221; promo&#8221;, the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>The winners who incidentally are all lovers of football and fans of Manchester United described their trip as &#8220;a dream come true&#8221;. Aliu said it was more than he bargained for: &#8220;Even though I travel around the world as a sailor, I had never been to the UK, so it was quite a wonderful experience to be able to watch my team live at the Theatre of Dreams&#8221;. Aliu explained that he has been on the Glo network since 2005 and that he makes and receives calls on the line even when he is on sea.<\/p>\n<p>Olamide, who is serving in Lagos, said she was deeply thrilled to have watched her favourite player, Dmitir Berbatov, live on a day he was the man of the match. &#8220;I particular looked forward to Berbatov making my day and I was not disappointed&#8221;, she said. While on the trip, the winners met members of the Man United team with their officials and were hosted to dinner by the club. They also went on a tour of the Old Trafford grounds as well as site seeing in the city of Manchester.<\/p>\n<p>The new season of the Recharge and Go to Old Trafford promo was flagged off in September 2010 and has so far produced close to 2,000 winners, including winners of trips to Old Trafford, winners of cash prizes and free air time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- end story layout piece here --><\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_banner_subbody div ---><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><b>More News on allAfrica.com<\/b><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Read the article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201103311043.html\" title=\"Nigeria: Glo Takes Outstanding Winners to Old Trafford for Bolton Match\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nigeria: Glo Takes Outstanding Winners to Old Trafford for Bolton Match<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 31 March 2011 FOUR outstanding Glo subscribers have returned from an all- expense-paid trip to Manchester in the United Kingdom where they watched the Manchester United FC versus Bolton Match at the latter&#8217;s Old Trafford turf.
