If you don't care, then why bother posting then you Surrey muppet?

What the average football fan (many of them ignorant) fails to realise that its not just about the takeover. Its about the commercialisation of the game, stupid kick-off times, all-seater stadiums, not being to stand, lack of atmosphear due to vocal supporters being scattered around the ground so the club can accodomate the corporates in what used to be the Stretford End, overpriced tickets and greed at the top levels of football. The takeover was just the last straw that broke the camels back.

Many of the supporters attending at FC United had been going to Old Trafford for decades, but they've decided they've had enough of being ripped off, many had already been priced out of the game years ago by corporate greed. Manchester United no longer wants its local support, they would rather have Asian tourists who will go into the Megawhore and come up carrying bags of crap. Those who are now at FCUM are now probably having the time of their lives, if you don't believe that then have a look good look on here. There will be more clubs being run by fans/supporters trusts in the future and that can only be a good thing for football.

I see your point, and i agree with you, but do you still care about Manchester United? I mean, you're still watching them, supporting them?

I'll always love Manchester United, that will never change, you don't just turn it off like that. I'll watch the lads in the pub, on the tele or by online streams but there is no way I will ever contribute one penny to paying off that debt. By definition, I'd be classed as a 'fan' and not a 'supporter'. FC United of Manchester has my support. If people don't like that, then I couldn't give two shits about it, if they want to pay for someone else's takeover then thats up to them, I don't care.

Hmm, ok. Looks kinda strange to be on that situation, anyway, it's nice to see that some people still care about the game.

There's nothing wrong with trying to increase the profile of lower division teams.

Personally, I don't see how FC United can be doing anything but good. If it can help improve attendaces and boost money and interest in lower divisions then that's got to be good, hasn't it?
