FC United Thread

[pirate]

can these odious twats not just go bust already.
Giving up on their club just cos they dont like the owner instead of fighting them for a change (see swales at city).
Setting up a new club (fair enough) but piggy backing on the history and allure of club they have deserted (fucking bastards trick)
taking money off the council to build a new stadium while services are being cut (fucking bastards trick)
treating the people of Moston with contempt by ignoring their view (fucking bastards trick)

die fucking die you horrible little club

 

[cleavers]

Simply giving you my opinion mate and providing some facts if that winds you up then that's your prerogative :)

Your hypocrisy accusation would make sense but hating the Glazers doesn't mean hating United and nobody at the club has ever stated that football on TV is a bad thing, in fact the official voted for resolution states the opposite providing that match going supporters aren't inconvenienced as a result. You aren't the only one to make that mistake though it happens often.

Just the response I expected, I was around when you lot broke away, in fact at that time I was member on a united forum, so I know exactly what was posted at the time. I actually had some (small I hasten to add) sympathy at the time, but that long since faded when I saw what you really were, you bullied your way through non league, both as a football club, and as odious fans turning up causing trouble at long established smaller clubs. You actually had the chance to do something different at the outset, but instead you morphed into mini united, with the same odious traits as 'big' united had.

Good luck convincing anyone here any different, we've all seen right through your club, and I only wish you a long slow and painful death (as a club).

Long live the glazers.

When was that official resolution passed? What year?
I seem to recall when the club started, it was "our club, our rules" and we won't dance to the TV schedules (like the club were going to be on TV in the NWCL leagues!)
And in the Anarchy in the UK song the words "we wanna destroy Glazer and Sky" are sung meaning you want to smash Sky's hold on the game. Yet post Rochdale in the FA Cup, history appears to be being re-written and ever since then the word is now all about "as long as supporters are not inconvenienced."

Have lived in Newton heath all my life, my mum lives at the top of St Marys Rd, I went to St Matthews school. It is fair to say I am a local resident. Not one person I know was in favour of FC United getting the ground there. In fact there was more people behind them getting the Ten Acres Lane site than the Moston one.
The vast, vast majority of people round here have absolutely no love for FC United. They are despised. You support your team through thick and thin and the yellow belly bastards jumped ship. that goes against every principal of being a football supporter.
I find it funny really that the ground is pretty much in a rag heartland (Well Newton Heath is anyway) Yet they get smaller crowds than they did when they played in Bury. That shows how much the local community are behind them.

its the 4th time am saying THIS moston people voted NO and if it was a clean and fair vote FCUM and the council should have move on after the no vote but it was fcum last option with council backing for the free land after being turned down in newton heath at ten acres lane so fcum knew they had to go to court to fight the people vote and what chance did they the people of moston have in putting up a fight without money for top lawyers

the things you say fcum offer the moston community should have been in place long before fcum turned up the city council had turned a blind eye to moston for years and years and the youth and kids was left to fight each other on the streets crime was shocking and what moston needed was about 20 years to late for the people

the bitter taste of fcum and the city council will never leave the real people of moston and many many non football fans are never going to buy into fcum in moston after taking there greenfield from them and putting a so called community club in place its smoke and mirrors and to the outside of moston it ticks all the boxes but the council should have built years and years ago and stinks go and ask all the people over 30 what did the city council do for them in moston

You can say it as many times as you like but the people of Moston did not vote against the football ground despite some being in opposition at the time.

Wasn't particularly aimed at the WUM/troll here, his sad attempts to justify the money grabbing isn't really worth responding to ... it was just a general comment with regards to the plastic club itself ... :D

Haha money grabbing, otherwise known as raising a shed load of money whilst applying for grant funding that all clubs who are building their own ground utilise to help towards financing the development because those options are available. Just because city didn't have to do it doesn't make it invalid.

 

[NorthManc7]

Then you shouldn't have used the words "not manifested in reality" when it obviously has manifested in reality and you have to constantly monitor it :)

It's monitored to make sure provisions to prevent any potential issues remain in place. Thankfully we've never had any such issues and hopefully never will.

It has always been "our club, our rules" hence why the club's members vote on these things. There was a vote in 2007 to enter the FA Cup and a vote in 2011 which instructed the board to consider certain criteria when deciding whether or not to accept a televised fixture given the choice. Those are the only official stances based on the majority view of the membership, which of course doesn't represent the views of every single person at the club, but that's democracy for you :) You can't rewrite something that was never written in the first place ;) maybe the stance will change over time but that'll be up to the members to decide. Personally I'm happy with how it is however I'm wary of the TV deal in the national league, not that it'll likely affect the club anytime soon but I'd like to come to a decision on that before it becomes a reality.

TV broadcasters (sky or otherwise) have too much power in the game and I think it'd be in the best interest of the sport and it's supporters if they were brought down a peg or two but that's going to take a lot more than just a division 6 semi pro football club unfortunately.

Funny that 'cos I remember turning up at well established smaller clubs and having a great time whilst there, having a drink with their supporters and more often than not receiving glowing references from all involved, with barely a hint of trouble anywhere (aside from in Yorkshire where the Leeds bellends got excited everytime we visited somewhere nearby). I'm sure you know best though admiring from afar :)

 

[NorthManc7]

I don`t know why they just don`t fuck off.

Probably the same reason why no club just randomly decides to fuck off on the back of someone on the Internet suggesting it ;) Perhaps I'll put it forward as a resolution at the next GM and see how many are onboard with the idea.

Haha, mods can't we lose this fucking wum? He's been given a good run & will be after a grant for being a minority on here if we're not careful.

Would you like me tto post the youtube clip of the 20 or so brave members of the club risking their lives against 3 Leeds fans in Chorley last season?

He's fine, not abusive and in fact I feel he genuinely feels the club is on the right tracks and doing everything the way it should be done (whatever that means)

However he has sidestepped (or ignored) repeated comments about certain individuals trousering club money and serving themselves rather than servicing members.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

You can say it as many times as you like but the people of Moston did not vote against the football ground despite some being in opposition at the time.

And as I said, Mick the red was encouraging rags from outside of M40 to write letters of support for the stadium and send them to him and he would add an M40 address to it and send it to the council. That is a fact as I made up an email account especially for the purpose and sent an email to Mick the red.
I kept the whole chain of communication and forwarded this fraud to the council who did nowt about it.

This is the problem when you build a reputation built on sound bites.
Our club our rules is a falacy. Yes it's your club but you have to fall in line with the rules of the FA. So you voted to enter the FA Cup and in doing so are bound to agree with their rules.
So making a song and dance about being asked to play on the telly v Rochdale or Chesterfield and then kicking up a fuss arguing against it was grandstanding (or attention seeking) to save face with members or to appear to be "rebellious" in front of the ever willing media.
It also made the club look stupid and laughed at when inevitably the FA slap you down and tell. you firmly when you are playing the game. And then members start swearing on the telly protesting because they didn't get their way.
Yes members can vote on club shirts, shirt sponsorship (or not) and ticket prices but as soon as you signed up to join the NWCL you agreed to play by the FA's rules just like everybody else does.

@NorthManc7 - what position do you hold at the club as you seem to have plenty of insight (albeit mostly a brainwashed one). Did you believe Jermey Corbyn when he said he would get rid of student debt
