FC United - Oral Hearing - judge rejects appeal (p 82)

Re: FC United - fans causing trouble again! (pg 59)

Were a good bunch really.

Except the ones who went to Hendesford who are obviously a bunch of bell ends.

Nothing happened at the Hednesford game, so I'm not sure where you're getting your information from.

There was 30 yards of segregation between both sets of fans, as well as both sets of fans being in different stands, too. It's not like there was a running battle on the terraces.

Songs were sang to and from, they scored and their fans decided to tear down the segregation but only moved 5 yards to other side of it unchallenged before being rounded up by the stewards.

If this is your idea of football hooliganism then so be it. Even Danny Dyer wouldn't have paid much interest. ;)

It's common knowledge mate.

The Judicial Review is tomorrow, Tuesday 18th December in Manchester.
Good luck to my former neighbours in getting the council's planning departments decision overturned.

Thanks to the many Blues on here who donated cash to enable my former neighbours the opportunity to have a barrister represent them.

Good luck to RURA (Residents United Residents Association)

Here's hoping for the right decision !

You only have to look at what is happening at Salford RLFC to wonder whether having a stadium in Moston is financially sustainable with a semi pro club that attracted 1500 fans on Saturday.........

I was in court today listening and keeping awake boy can they talk and its going in to tomorrow now, it could go in to Thursday if they carry on talking so much

Manchester council’s decision to grant planning approval for FC United’s 5,000-capacity stadium was made without proper legal checks, a court has heard.

Permission for the ground, on Ronald Johnson Playing Fields off Lightbowne Road in Moston, was given last year.

A judicial review into the decision to approve the planning application was told that environmental impact assessments into potential noise and traffic pollution, required by law, were not made ahead of the decision.

The town hall claims the assessments were discretionary and that conditions attached to the approval would offset any negative impacts of the development.

Hugh Richards, representing the Residents United Residents Association which opposes the plans, claimed the council had acted illegally through not understanding planning laws.

He said: "The negative effects of the development are being dismissed because they are defined as ‘localised’ and not because they are not significant. The conclusion was being reached that these issues will only be of local significance and therefore the impact was not considered sufficient to warrant an impact assessment.

"The authority’s approach has been to identify the potential impact and then dismiss it as localised. This is a misunderstanding of what’s laid out in planning regulations."

The council was spelling out its position to the review, at Manchester Civil Justice Centre, today. The case is expected to conclude tomorrow.

FC United, formed in protest at the Glazer family’s takeover of Manchester United, had hoped to start work on the new ground this summer. They play at Bury’s Gigg Lane ground and have never had a stadium of their own.

FC United had originally planned to build their ground on Ten Acres Lane in Newton Heath, but a late switch in council funding scuppered the proposals. The stadium is set to cost about £4.6m and the club has raised the cash through fundraising and grants.

Thanks mate but I was more talking exact figures from each respective party. 4.6 million is a hell of a sum and I can't see FCUM raising a 10th of that by selling raffle tickets or doing a jumble sale.

I've been to many non-league grounds and many are in a state of disrepair, why have FCUM got such a tidy pay-off? I mean, can somebody actually state the figure that they are pumping in, it'd be nice to think that they are at least putting 50% of the money up.
