If you go down the price line that many decide to excuse their behaviour with, there were plenty of local clubs that people could have supported if they wanted a day out; for people in Manchester the list is quite endless, from league clubs like Stockport, Bury, Rochdale, to lower clubs such as Salford City and Altrincham for example (all of which would love and actually need as much support as they can get - these clubs have significant history), there was no need to create another club. In creating another club they have done nothing less than create a future competitor to Manchester United, and I wonder where their loyalties will lie if FCUM and Manchester United ever end up in the same division. They probably won't as their supposed philosophy of how FCUM is run will not allow for this; my feeling however is that philosophy will be throw out of the window the more successful they become. So where do the loyalties lie?

I was all for trying to stop Glazer, but FCUM is out of order when its supporters also claim to be Manchester United supporters. It's having the cake and also eating it. It's hypocritical, sly, and weak. I respect (don't agree with the way they have done it) those FCUM supporters that have cut all ties with Manchester United, but those that haven't are scabs and no better than the cnuts at MK Dons.
