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.

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...

MouldensChippy said: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,

A guy I know follows them. Seen him in the pub last night when I was playing in the pool team. Bit of banter etc as per every time we bump into each other. But dunno if he was winding me up or not but he seemed pretty serious about it that we've invited them to play us in pre season against a select eleven team at our stadium.
Told him he's full of shit and that we wouldn't invite them and he said well they couldn't have proposed it as they(the board) only consider friendlies only when they've been invited. They don't contact clubs to suggest arranging one, he said. He went on to say that they also only agree to them so long as the hosting clubs share the gate money after running costs.
He said it was being billed as a Mancunians United Community Day involving locals schools and all that.
So basically we'll be putting money in their club to help go towards this proposed ground!
I believe him tbh, he does a lot of volunteering for the club so he's in the know.

Has anyone heard anything then about this friendly with the sanctimonious cunts?!
Can't see many going really if it is happening. 10,000 I'd say and at a reasonable price for all. 10 quidish?

Take it nobody has heard anything?
I think it'll be a good laugh, bit of banter etc and they're loud aren't they, got some pretty good songs too.
Just hope we won't be giving them half the gate money.
We'll never hear the end of it.
''You paid for our home'' and all that.
