Re: FC United - FCUM fan loses the plot (bottom of page 36+)
I find it a truly laudable goal to set-up and run a community football club, develop links between local people and the sport etc etc.
I tend to have an issue with the way that FCUM are trying to parachute themselves into existing communities, as they have already done with Bury, tried to at Ten Acres Lane and are now attempting to do with Moston.
If the club truly and honestly wanted to do things for the good of a community then they would ask which communities would like them to house them and choose from any list of any who are willing.
There is also a club ground over in Flixton that has wanted for decent investment for years, in fact the club has recently folded leaving behind a pitch, changing rooms and clubhouse (as well as a community well used to hosting lower league football since the 60's). Did FCUM jump on that opportunity, nope of course not.
