TRAITORS !

That's exactly what these fuckers are! Traitors, turncoats, disloyal...I could go on. I bet they'd leave their wife if she got ill, that's the level of faith they have in things.

At last, someone who knows what is going on here.
If the MEN cared to go to the Ronald Johnson Playing Fields TODAY (like I have done, walking the dog (and yes I picked up the mess) they will notice there is drilling going on there, testing for whatever is under the ground (a mine shaft I suspect!)
THAT is the reason that Moston Juniors are playing elsewhere, because the ground is supposedly being prepared for building on. Nothing to do with vandalism.
What disappoints me is FC United refuse to comment - they should have had the guts to admit that the vandalism took place last year, instead they let the subject fester to make it appear bad for the protesters.

To which the reporter replies....

The weed killer attack and concrete pouring were discovered this weekend. Dean Brook it may surprise you that I was at RJ Playing Fields yesterday. The graffiti may have been on the container for a while (although clearly not a year ago unless the person responsible had a crystal ball) but this has not been reported before.

Well I know who I believe. (perhaps he never saw the very large drills ?)

At least one of Moston Juniors teams (U16) have folded due to players:
a) having to travel to Heaton Park for home matches
b) young blues not wishing to associate themselves with FC turncoatrags.

Good for the local community eh?

Whats the general view in Manchester on FC United, both from City and United fans?

I remember respecting them from afar when they set up their own club in protest against been shafted. I couldn't do it myself, but I understood their sentiment.

Do City fans hate them because ultimately they are ''United'' or do you have a soft spot for them for shitting on United?

Do Newton Heath fans hate them for being traitors, or do they respect them for having the bottle to walk away?

My lads have been playing for Moston Juniors for 2 years and have not once used RJ Playing fields for anything. Not even training.<br /><br />-- Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:34 pm --<br /><br />

Sums it up
" In my eyes, where they made the error is (as someone else said) they formed a 'mini me' version of united, playing in red, the name etc. A missed opportunity to start from scratch with disgruntled / priced out fans from Greater Manchester (and presumably beyond). For being a ''community orientated club'' they alienated people (both red and blue and beyond) from whatever their perception of the word 'community' is from the start (wrongly or rightly), instead of saying ''this club is for anyone pissed off with the game as it currently stands, come and join a brand new club with a brand new identity and colours''. An opportunity missed in my book."

Great idea at first, had total admiration for them. I even watched them play a friendly here against Lok Leipzig. However, what I don't understand are these Reds who also support FCUM. And vice versa. How many FCUM fans have actually stopped supporting Utd? Not many. They just want to have two teams. WTF is that all about?

Re: FC United - vandalism on the proposed site? (page 32)

Nothing to do with the vandalism but I see the Pretenders were at home this Saturday in the FA Trophy, they were playing Mossley. The attendance was a mere 861 (a local derby) I wonder where the other 5,000 loyal dedicated and committed fans were? ......oh hang on FC United of Trafford were also playing that day.
