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.
