FC United Thread

That is the issue - they simply set up a united tribute club, choosiing that name to cash in and trade on the back of the rags.
Instantly alienating 50% of "the community" they claim.to be a club for.

They'd never have gone for Central as a name to prevent the MCFC initials. North Manchester or Manchester North End would have been better and playing in non red colours and being a true stand alone club like Abbey Hey and the two Wythenshawe sides

I see they are hosting a business lunch with the aim of attracting more local businesses to support the club. Any Blue running a business wouldn't dream of sinking their profits into the rag lite outfit to prop up that sinking ship
They’ve no chance of getting local businesses involved in any numbers, apart from dyed in the wool rags. I used to do a fair bit of Corporate stuff as a host (we had boxes at Reading FC, Worcester Rugby and Reading Racecourse) and as a guest. I wouldn‘t touch that shithole - in either capacity - with a barge pole!

I remember years ago someone posted comments from their fan message board. One of their fans was saying the ground is right next to Moston cemetery and they should be encouraging post burial drinks to be held at their bar to boost income.

As rightly pointed out, most post funeral drinks are held in the deceased's local and again, families of Blues who have passed away aren't stepping foot in there.

They really have no sense of self awareness
 
If the cap fits, I suppose. As I recall for a lot of the 1970's the rags were pretty shit.
MUFC were a cup team then, after Busby left.
A bit like Spurs, who could also be excellent or shite.
Tommy Doc did a big job in popularising them, when they won promotion back to Division 1 in 1975 (I think ?).
Teams like Forest, Villa and Ipswich (my preferred team of the early '80's) all had their times in the sun.
Football in the '70's & 80's definitely felt as if it was more open and not dominated by 2-3 clubs...
