FC United thread

Big European night on Tuesday in the Fenix cup, forget about everything else going on as “European games under the floodlights are in their DNA” free admission for under 21s yet again to join the inevitable piss poor crowd.

Fun fact last year this tournament made a big deal that each team had a charity partner they raised money for. Despite being experienced bucket shakers they had discussions with a couple of charities but not one of them wanted to be associated with them. They couldn’t even find someone who wanted to take money off them.

Now that’s strange!
 
Their women’s team lost 3 1 after leading South Shields today to get knocked out of the FA cup. I know what you’re thinking who cares about the women’s FA cup? Unfortunately for FC that and the underperforming Academy are their cash cows. The winner today got £4000 in prize money & a guaranteed £1500 even if they lost in the next round. That money is vital to them when they’re so screwed, the cash flow has got them scrabbling this year.

They only made £500 profit last year despite winning over £10,000 from this competition. They also dropped the women’s sponsor boohoo who had been paying them £30,000 a year as they didn’t agree with their ethics & the fans weren’t happy with it

Wasn’t my post to be fair but I found it funny. Boohoo as a company have issues with cheap mass produced goods and Far Eastern wages I think. Might be wrong though.
