Well done The Spartans !!!
They have had a really tough time with their recent owner.
Now, they are a Community Club, hopefully they can turn the corner.
For the FSCUM to only draw with a team who are bottom, by a fair amount, shows how much they are in the shite.
Ground sharing with Abbey Hey could soon be an option ?

No doubt Comical Ali will be back in due course to enlighten us about the 2.3 million people in north Manchester who've attended FC United home games and explain how the Council has been repaid 400-fold for the money it's loaned the club. But I'm just staggered by the arrogance of this lot in thinking they can adopt the guise of representing the community where they're based when the only identity they have is stolen from another club.

Most people in the environs who like football will already support either proper United or City, but a lot are no doubt armchair fans or else have been priced out by their clubs. There would definitely seem a scope for picking up this type of fan, who wouldn't ordinarily be conflicted by following a local non-league side along with their other footballing love.

But FC? Every proper United fan I know that didn't flounce off with them in 2005 thinks they're a joke outfit lacking in any moral entitlement to parade a United identity. And by parading that identity, they immediately put off anyone of a Blue persuasion: none of our lot will go near, other than the ultimate handwringing knobhead David Conn, whose take on FC over the last few years, lest it be forgotten, we're still eagerly awaiting.

No one's ever satisfactorily explained to me why the people of Moston should have this pathetic mini-me tribute act foisted on them in the guise of their community club. Does it not occur to the clowns at FC that maybe Moston should be represented by a club that has a Moston identity and can rise or fall on that basis.

I think you are being very harsh on David Conn. it’s only been about 6 years since the original board members were found out for being the charlatans they were.
And just like Merseyside police, in investigating who chucked bottles at the City coach 6 years ago, these things take time (to quote a famous Stretfordian).
I’m sure his exclusive exposure of the dodgy goings on at Pallet Park will be finished very soon and published in the Guardian for all to see.
Keep the faith.

Comical Ali - brilliant!
 
The money City pay the council for the lease of the Etihad is ring-fenced for sport, I hope that they didn't load the splitters money from this income
