FC United Thread

A bit late to this, but so glad to see that this bunch of chancers and shysters along with their gullible acolytes have been denied the possible extra income stream of a Cup run. It was truly nauseating to witness the entitlement in the club's early days as its deluded followers made a string of noisy and vehement demands for Council assistance to bolster their fatuous vanity project. We see the leopard's spots truly unchanged as they yelp witlessly at the Council's belated and probably doomed attempt now to safeguard its cash with the appointment referred to above.

Since relegation from National League North in 2019, FCUM have had average attendances of between 1,668 and 1,775 for the four seasons fans were allowed in, a plateauing of gates that seems to be allowing them to continue to crawl along provided that the Council continues to be so untenably benevolent with regard to the debt owed by these charlatans. I longingly await the news that the support is seeping away in numbers that will cause serious cashflow problems. One or two signs in the new campaign suggest that this could be the case, but there have been false dawns before.

We just need some of the people currently operating in line with the sunk costs fallcy to see the bigger picture. They don't want to admit that the vision they were originally sold by Walsh and his mates was an unattainable mirage, with the current grubby reality instead being that they're stuck in relative obscurity while remaining in denial over their shabby scrounging from the public purse. Hopefully this is the point where more of them see sense and walk away.
 
It's a critical time for the Splitters.
If their current average crowd for this season is under 1,500, where are they going to gain the c.500 plus, needed to break even, let alone pay back what's owed to Mcr. City Council ?
Cannot see many/any "new" fans supporting them, or new sponsors paying out to advertise with them ?
As the Trafford Tramps are now run by Scruffy Jim, cannot see their loyal fans, jumping ship.
Perhaps the only solution, would be to ground share with another Mancunian non-league club ?
Abbey Hey are probably the nearest ?
Would be interesting if West Didsbury & Chorlton re-located there ?
They may get bigger gates than FCUM...

Why would any self-respecting club want to be associated with them?
