Re: Manchester City Council Loan FC United £550K and.....
I have quite a few friends asking the council so don't worry on that front. I said somewhere on the last few pages that my beef is with the council, not FCUM, so calm down.
I have never said the investment or the community work isn't welcome in Moston - all I have ever said is it is not appropriate to build the stadium on that site. I know you are all very desperate to have your own stadium - just don't be shitting all over a community who have been well established just so you can get your stadium up and running.
And I have read the report that our wildlife expert produced and water voles are there. But dont you worry about the voles - in the same way you dont care about the people who bought houses in an area opposite / near to a field they were informed had a covenant on it preventing future building on it. Or the elderly residents who bought retirement flats overlooking the field, believing they would have a nice view and a quiet life in the evenings.....

And Moston Juniors FC were also responsible for maintenance....... so your next point is????
Well OK, Phil, maybe by doing this the Council are recognising the £1.4 million of FC supporter investment, which attracts further central government grants into the Moston to give thea area and Moston Juniors FC a £3.5m plus community sports resource.... plus FC United's well documented community work?
Which kind of makes arguing over a grand a bit ridiculous. If you were a Moston resident you could ask your local councillor for details maybe? Its not FC United running this show it's MCC.
All your righteous indignation on here is a complete waste of time, the Council are the ones in charge and none of the "bell ends" or homophobes on here can help you....complain to the Council ffs, if you think it's still worth it. Oh and by the way, read the professional ecological reports with your glasses on next time. Much as I like Moston, I can't remember when I last saw David Attenborough mooching around there. There are no water voles and the bats will be fine, it's official.
