FC United thread

[petrusha]

I love to hear about them.
Can remember them starting (son played against them 3 times on their rise up the leagues), with their witty, non-league songs.
They saw themselves as the saviour of non-league football playing "punk football". They even embodied Orwell's "Animal Farm" mantra of "We are all Equal".
However, as we now all know, the original FCUM were cleverer than most in getting the National Media (e.g. Conn) onside in supporting this crusade for the pure ex-MUFC fans.
They were also shrewd in getting the gullible Manchester City Council to "repatriate" them, to North Manchester.
Currently, they are standing still, with c. 1,500 fans who are still thick enough to support them. They are more deluded than the "parent club's" fans, as nobody is bothered about them anymore, in the National media
Let The Ladyboy sign for them, if he thinks MUFC's fans are in his heart and they support him ?
Let's hope their slow demise, lingers on...

I've never understood how this bunch of jokers managed to get anyone at all watching them, let alone attract the fawning media coverage they used to. As for Manchester City Council making public money available to them, that was truly shameful.

It's true enough that their fans are deluded. They're a third-rate tribute act pure and simple, so should be laughed at mercilessly. They're no more entitled to be taken seriously as sharing a common genesis with their parent club than someone doing a turn as Elvis at Batley Working Men's Club is to claim he and Presley are true kindred spirits.

Where would the sale of big brother leave this shit show of a club?
Would the turncoats return to the swamp?

Could be close to the end

Probably...

I know a couple of season ticket holders down at pallet park...

Whenever I bump into them, all they talk about is the rags, I've never once heard them talk about the rebel rags.

Reverse merger?

Reverse merger?

And Pallet Park becomes the home of the rags reserves and women rather than at Leigh.

I think the Rags 1st team will probably play at pallet park, old Toilet will be reserved for the parent club.

Wouldn't happen. The members wouldn't allow it, just like they stood firm and refused to allow any of their games to be screened on TV......

Wow - just looked and yes 11th - although had they won today they'd be 4th.
I know last time I checked when they were top they had played more games than those around them and it certainly looks like being a close run race to promotion / play offs.
