Re: Council 'Bail Out' FC United - letter in MEN Friday
Sorry AndyFCUM, did I miss your response to the fraudulent letters scam?
Did it happen or am I telling porkies????
Oh, so the 13 junior football teams will be using the stadium? Thought not.

Saturday's MEN Postbag
''Keep Pool Open''
At the same time as Manchester council can find money for FC United's stadium, we have been told that they do not have enough money to save Miles Platting pool (Varley St baths).
It will have to close in December and we have been told that our nearest pool is the one that is to be built in Beswick.
But that is no good to us, how are we meant to get there? Our centre has pools and a gym and all for £10 a month. I wonder if the new pool will be so cheap?
The council is forever telling us to get fit, then they take away our facilities to do so. Sorry, but no one ever got fit watching football.

Yawn. You didn't write the letter but here are more corrections to your usual selective use of information and general dishonesty.
1. It's not FC United's stadium, its a community facility, shared with 13 Moston Junior teams and the wider Manchester community, should they wish.
2. The pot that contributes to Miles Platting pool funding is a completely different issue to a separate commercial rate LOAN offered to a business and has nothing to do with general Council funding. Problems with Miles Platting pool has NOT ffs been caused by FC United.
3. The Moston stadium is not simply about watching football. Mike Amesbury's letter highlighted the benefits broadly of encouraging more people to join in playing football with Moston juniors and participating in other related football and sports fitness activities via the stadium and forthcoming community outreach programmes, to seek to help reduce obesity and general crime levels.
All as you well know.

I fail to see the value to the average council tax payer. Small minority interest groups do not deserve,or recieve, this level of support.
Whats so special about your project that commends it to the vast majority of Manchester residents?
Sorry, how did you pay back the £53million pounds again?
