FCUM Looking At Newton Heath (just down the road)

Had the misfortune of seeing a few of their players walking round the Trafford centre, thinking that they were god. Hope the wankers go under at the same time the Scum do.

The majority of their players are city and liverpool fans
 
just to confirm that fc scum no longer get bigger crowds than bury, the bubble has well and truely burst for them.
all their away games used to have to be moved to bigger grounds but no longer the case
i think they want to move because bury tell them whether their game is on or off and that really grates them lol
but as a city fan with a big soft spot for bury i hope they continue to enjoy the rent money they pay to bury !!!
also burys progress is down to a decent manager at that level and better performances rather than fc scums money
nearly all bury fans want them out of gigg lane
 
There's been a bit of a loss of interest among the support and the team's performances on the pitch have levelled off too. After winning promotion in their first three seasons, they missed out on the Unibond League Premier Division play offs very narriwly last season and they're currdently 15th in that league. Meanwhile, their average home league gate has gone from over 3,000 in their first season to just over 2,500 the next year to around 2,100 for the next two years to 1,914 so far this season. Their last home game, a midweek fixture admittedly, drew just over 1,500.

I'm surprised they can't stay in the black AND be more competitive on the pitch, though, given what other clubs at that level survive on. The next highest gates in that division last season were at Boston and were about half of FC United's, while the third highest in the division were at Nantwich, and they were less than a third of FC's. Their ticket prices are GBP 7.50, I think, so even if half the gate receipts go to Bury, they should still have a bigger budget than pretty well anyone else in the league.

I think they're looking at the ground be more move as a chance to grow their support, because from what their leaders say, they seem to think that more people within the Greater Manchester catchment area would be willing to travel to a location within Manchester than to Bury. I'm not so sure, personally.
 
Could be even more interesting when Oldham move to failsworth...
 
I would guess their best hope is that the Glaziers keep doing United doggy style. Then they can recruit some disillusioned fans.

Their nightmare scenario is that someone popular takes over United. Then they are finished.

Hehehehe

The irony is rich indeed...

Could make Failsworth a bit lively Saturday evenings...not that it's not like the Wild West now at times.
 
From the MUEN forum:

MUST are having 70,000 Green & Gold Campaign information cards printed for the match on Saturday and need help getting them to people inside the ground. If you can help before or after the game please pick up a batch from the Premier Inn, Old Trafford (formerly The Golden Tulip right next to Old Trafford) between 12.45 and 2.45pm.

Green & Gold scarves also on sale at cost price 2.50 GBP. You can pick one up from the Charlton Suite (straight ahead as you enter hotel main lobby - not via the restaurant/bar door).Premier Inn, Old Trafford (formerly The Golden Tulip right next to Old Trafford) Waters Reach Trafford Park Manchester M17 1WS

Priceless. YCNMIU.

A question...............

Being that they are in negotiations with the council does this mean that they will get some sort of aid or grant for the new ground they are proposing?

If so, would any of that cash come from the 'ring fenced' sport fund that the council take from our stadium?

If so again, how do we protest?

i agree mate, if they want to get help off the council or move near our ground, i would want to protest against it, want them to go bust,
