Well done @NorthManc7 I am in full support of what you are doing for the local community. Whatever. ;0)
You previously said the fans raised 'most' of the money for the stadium.Simple answer to your question... no you're not right. Quite spectacularly wrong in fact :) not sure where you are getting your information from but you are badly informed.
The supporters raised roughly 3 million quid to fund the ground build, so I wouldn't say very little.

3m (which I actually doubt is true) is less than half of the cost of the stadium.
Well, Moston Juniors were sold the idea of having a lot of usage of that 3G. That's what I expected. Seems your club managed to hide that one pretty well.Moston United came into existence this season which is a combined partnership between the club and Moston Juniors, yes there are issues that need resolving but there's a lot of work going into this.
Of course availability is limited for the astro it is fully booked a lot which is a good thing as it's clearly being used by the community. Not sure what more you expect from one 3G pitch.
Far do's didn't know they done all that my apologies,I will seek my legal team of copyright right of the video , where's brook land blue when you need him !http://www.fc-utd.co.uk/community.php - knock yourself out ;) there's quite a bit missing from that page too. Specifically in regards to the homeless we also run a big coat day collection where loads of warm clothing is donated, that will be starting again pretty soon.
You'd have to ask whoever did the video it wasn't done for the M&S campaign though it was filmed last December.

I actually said majority funded which £3m is clearly the largest single financial factor in the ground funding. Plus the sport England / football foundation grants were only awarded because of the proven supporter raised finances and because of the largely volunteer driven community work carried out by club members. Also who do you think is helping to pay back the council loan?You previously said the fans raised 'most' of the money for the stadium.

Well 2.1m of that 3m was raised through the pioneering community share scheme so no buckets involved in that. Most of the rest was through development fund donations over the best part of a decade. Impressive no?3 million hahahahahaha must have been fucking big buckets. but like it or not your not welcome in moston and was voted by the people to not have FCUM in broadhurst park but both the city council and FCUM went to court knowing the people of moston did not have the money to fight the lawyers from both scum bags so it was not a fair fight in my book
you don't own the ground or land matey and if money is not paid back to many you look loans out with its going to end quickly and no more fcum
Moston Juniors have a season long booking which sees them use it frequently so not sure what you're getting at.Well, Moston Juniors were sold the idea of having a lot of usage of that 3G. That's what I expected. Seems your club managed to hide that one pretty well.
I've heard all about Moston United. So I presume you mean the new FC United Reserves as the old version went defunct? Even then, the old reserves are a laughing stock - turning up to Curzon Ashton without a 'keeper. Great prospect for Moston Juniors that; do well and you can play for FCUM's farm team!
It will benefit the community only if the community pays through the nose to use the facilities. Some of the most expensive in the area.That is clearly not literally what has happened though is it, considering a school was also awarded 12k and nobody had any of this money in the first place for anybody to literally take it away from. The money will be put to good use and will benefit the community whether you like the club or not.
