FC United thread

They are selling season tickets for 2019/20 at the following prices:-
  • Adults = £150.00
  • Senior = £100.00
  • Junior = £21.00
They need to raise £170,000.00 to break even, something they haven't done since the 2015/16 season.

If you average out their season ticket at £100.00 then they need 1,700 season ticket holders just to break even.

The average home crowd in the league has been 1,950 but of cause there will only be a small number of season ticket holders in those figures.

They are obviously teetering on the brink and relegation will hit them hard.

If you read the link about the prices, they also ask for the "suggested donation" of £55 per adult.
This is their annual "lets pay less VAT" campaign.....
Cost of a season ticket is £205 but they drop it to £150 and pay VAT on that fee.
The "suggested donation" of £55 is not taxable.
Nice to see the socially aware / principled owners are contributing fully to the society. Especially when considering the public handouts they have accumulated over the years.

Fans feel that before they reached the Conference North, players (in general) "got" 'The FC Way' and all that entailed and played for relative pocket money. But they now see it since they made the CN division, it is full of players simply playing for a decent wage that they depend on each month and don't particularly care about the club they are representing and the sacred 'FC Way'

Is it safe to assume "the FC way" is as much a contrived pile of shite as "the untied way", "the dipperpool way", "the Arsenal way" and "the Barca-fucking-lona way".
 
Darlington should seal their fate this weekend.

So gutted I cant be there to see the twats all but relegated.

The contrived myth at non league level is that they are a well run club who are followed by defenders of the beautiful game rather than a fucked up mess followed by a bunch of soap dodging turncoats.

Punk football my arse.

And that is the media for you.... Creamed themselves over the formation of the club and their rampaging through the first four divisions (paying decent wages to players prepared to drop down a few divisions to play for 'The FC Way')
The media gushed over their stance against appearing on TV like I regularly state i will turn down the sexual advances of Clare Grogan from Altered Images. Only once their opportunity came (unlike mine with Ms Grogan) they dropped their pants and begged to take it up the arse.....

They are £2m - £3m in debt and if not riddled with the board and members infighting, they are riddled with players fighting the board.....
And where are the media who cream themselves over this myth....
David Conn.... Are you there?

i know the real reason why the bandwagon stopped with FCUM its called salford city and the class of 92 take over, it killed them (FCUM) over night

like i said fcum fans will run for cover and head to the hills and never to be seen or heard off again, the debt will be covered by the manchester city council and the sale of the ground to a major supermarket, so they maybe a 2nd chance for the turn coats fans and head to salford city who would welcome them with open arms, from getting 8000 at gig lane in bury to now begging buckets and cut price season tickets in moston, the light is dim ?? and the bright lights and the promise of a great future to now a flicker of no hope

please MCC put them out of their misery call in the debt before its to late and the real trouble starts and having to call in the bailiffs to sell of 1000s of green and gold scarfs

But the council can't sell the land off for a supermarket as the neighbourly conscious Rag Sox fans have it in their constitution (or whatever it is called) that should the whole thing go tits up the land has to remain as a venue for sporting activities only.
Which i am sure you will agree is rather considerate of them to steal the land from the people and then dictate to the people what becomes of the land should they mess up the whole thing.

This is what it says in their constitution although whether it has any legal status I have no idea.

DISSOLUTION 112. The Club may be dissolved by the consent of three-quarters of the members who sign an instrument of dissolution in the form provided by Treasury Regulations or by winding-up in the manner provided by the Act. 113. If on the winding up or dissolution of the Club there remains, after the satisfaction of all its debts and liabilities any property whatsoever the same is to be transferred to: a. a sporting charity or sporting charities operating in the Area; and/or b. one or more societies established for the benefit of the community operating in the Area; and/or c. one or more societies established for the benefit of the community in each case as determined by the members at a meeting called to decide the issue. Nothing belonging to the Club shall be transferred to any other society unless that club has in its rules a rule substantially in the terms of this Rule.

That only applies if there are assets left after the dissolution i.e. all debts paid.

There may be a covenant on the land that provides the same protection and that would have force. If the land was sold by the council they often use covenant to stop the sharks from running schemes as land grabs.

their constitution that was made up by dodgy people on the board in the first place and who took money from the club and the council and charities and fudge them to look like they was use in the right way, so law abiding it may not hold up in court ?? and the council will not care less about the land and want there loan money back, big questions should have been asked and why nothing was done to stop this happening in the first place, and annual auditing should have been put in place being charity founded and council money, people are doing prison time for much less and the amount that they spunked of gifts and back handers was not peanuts

being greenfield before FCUM dodgy deal with the council may hold some sort of power by locals, but you can not turn it back into greenfields and a big supermarket would be ideal and benefit the people in jobs and let moston lads football club to keep the pitches at the side of the grounds

There was already a covenant on the land to begin with.... The land was left in memory of Ronald Johnson who was killed in WW1 for local people to enjoy recreational activites on.... The council managed to convince the organisation responsible for maintaining covenanted lands to release the land for the stadium...

i can add to that there was a park at the front of saint mary's road and tennis courts and bowling greens and i think a big bandstand and the church band would play every sunday in the early 1930s and in the 1980s a speedway bicycle race track was built and it was big thing, race meets every weekends and teams from all over the country would take part and was great to watch
