FC United Thread

I took my son and his friends who watch Radcliffe Borough at their recent game at the pallet Stadium and was talking to a couple of their fans. They both work in audit type roles and were very worried about the financial situation within the club and said it has been run like a ponzi scheme for some time and we know how they all end up!!

Is the answer 'the council will give them more money ?

I think in these austere times we find ourselves in the money tap from the council has run dry.

I'm a cynic, if the council thought it could be used to win votes........

A load of kids dressed in black and a few grown ups, looks like a school outing trying to terrorise the mighty Chorley

I wonder how many FCUM fans actually reside within the city of Manchester itself ( so that they are eligible to vote in local council elections)?
I bet less than a third,and the other two- thirds are nothing to do with Manchester at all.

There was a bloke who stood against the stadium at the local election when the stadium was being proposed, standing in the Moston ward.
The problem he had was going up Moston Lane or Lightbowne Road and reaching Nuthurst Road - where Pallet Park is - you then enter Charlestown Ward, so only half of the local people living around there had a protest vote to vote for.
Protesters gained signatures from local houses.....FCUM gained them from shoppers in Asda, Harpurhey - shoppers from Blackley, Harpurhey, Monsall not living in the vacinity of the ground.
They bragged how many more signatures they had than the protesters had. So 2 successive trips down to Mary D's on match day soon sorted that out ha ha ha ha

You only have to look at their flags on display to see where there fan base comes from.....

Fair enough so it begs the question why they lent/gave them so much in the years past. No other club within the Manchester area has had so much help from the council.

If you read all the posts on this thread made by Mad Eyed Screamer, they will go along way to explain your very pertinent question.
