Re: FC United - Judicial Review DECISION DAY TODAY!!!!! (p 71) Depends what you mean by commercially motivated - FC are not separate from the money economy, they pay for things and are paid for things, but they are constituted as a 'not for profit' organisation. That is different from 'non...

Re: FC United - Judicial Review DECISION DAY TODAY!!!!! (p 71) Great to see everyone getting ready to wallow in conspiracy theory cushioned defeat. Also amazed that postings on an internet message board can be taken as so uncritically factual by posters on another message board. MES - I share...

Re: FC United - Judicial Review day 2 (pg 61) You scoffed at the idea that FC might represent the interests of the working class fan because some people involved with the club don't have what you regard as working class jobs.

Re: FC United - Judicial Review day 2 (pg 61) Mad Eyed Screamer, it's quite sad to see someone who for a long time stood up for the match-going fan using such weak arguments to try to undermine an independent supporter movement. Your 'middle class' vs 'working class' argument merely plays on a...

Re: FC United - Judicial Review day 2 (pg 61) Come on, I think we all know the real reason City fans can't stand FCUM. For a while in 2005 many City fans lapped FC up, thinking it was a great way to get at United, but then two things stopped this in its tracks. First, it became apparent that...
