My Niece is their keeper for the women's team(not too bad btw if City are reading). Love to wait for a big match and go in place sporting a blond wig and flip flops.A good assessment.
The formal idea of the club was hijacked by a couple of ex militant members and then they tried to run the club based on some kind of socialist manifesto, which was fraught with contradictions.
All members were equal - but some were on £30K a year!
They told anyone and everyone that "all our profits are ploughed back into local community work." They've never made a profit and the majority of their community work is carried out via funded projects awarded by Manchester city council or grants from other bodies.
They came out with the "our club, our rules" slogan.
It's all very commendable saying "we won't appear on a live TV game" when you are in the North West Counties League with absolutely no chance of appearing in a live game - but as they went up the leagues and had a cup run or two they received the nod to go on TV and all the self posturing and bluster in the media came to nothing as they realised yes it is our club but as a member of the FA we have to abide by their rules.
Their claim to be a "community club" and are anti discriminatory, anti homophobia, anti racist, anti sexist, pro immigrants etc etc blah blah is very admirable, but try turning up in a City shirt and see what kind of welcome you receive.
I've said this before, what other business would go out and purposely alienate half of the people living in its surrounding area?
The very fact that City fans living in Manchester and paying council tax are / have funded this shit show is particularly nauseating.
The Shandy Rags. Haha, spot on, I like that!I call them the quitters shandy rags
They really do not like City. I went to see them play Grantham Town and got chatting with a steward who went on about how he hated City and how there wasn’t a real Manc in the squad and no, Foden doesn’t count.A good assessment.

Interesting saying that they're welcoming etc.A good assessment.

Ironic statement from the moronic steward considering that they "broke away" from a club that pretend to but don't actually come from Manchester.They really do not like City. I went to see them play Grantham Town and got chatting with a steward who went on about how he hated City and how there wasn’t a real Manc in the squad and no, Foden doesn’t count.
Great pre-match music though.
When?Got twatted off Radcliffe Boro
