Theatre of Dreams in turmoil

It's bollocks to suggest they're protesting because they're not winning much. They were protesting against the Glazers after winning successive league titles and a Champions League.

 

How long ago was that?

 

Didn't the Glazers get themselves appointed to the MUFC board and then lend themselves all of MUFC's money that they then used to buy MUFC.. . . . . or summat?

 

Long, long, long, long..( I could go on ) time ago

 

Spurs floated on the Stock Exchange before Man Utd. Hasn't done them as much good.
The Glazers loaded them with debt, have taken a fortune out and Old Trafford is crumbling. Fans were protesting about them when they were winning everything going. Not that their demise upsets me. Nothing against Man Utd fans from Manchester but the Reds in Hull, East Yorkshire and everywhere else are a different matter.
One of my favourite City games wasceeing us beat a relegated Man Utd and laughing at all the sad twats waiting for their buses to Longhill, OPE etc. Would like to see that again as much, if not more, than seeing us play them in the PL.

 

Bank holiday weekend, what else do you expect.

 

Didn't know Manchester was a Bank Holiday destination normally. Is it the beach that is attracting them?

 

They won the Champions League in '08 and and won the Premier League 3 times on the trot from '06-'09. The Glazers bought the club in '05.

Utd fans have always protested against them, since the day they bought the club. Souness is talking bollocks, as per. If it was Liverpool fans protesting by breaking into Anfield, he'd be waxing lyrical about the 'working-class spirit' of the salt of the earth Scousers against their owners.

 

Strange can’t remember too much protesting in the last ten years
It’s been a slow burner then

 

Good on em

There was the whole FC United thing ad well

As we know protests don't always go the way you want and media wise we only tend to pay attention to whats important to you / us

 

Didn't look like enough protesters to cause traffic jams on the M6 on their way to Manchester.

 

One of best nights in my local was when FC United played Brid Town. The council put a special deal on for them to stay the weekend ( now, there's an idea for those on the Hull council) and loads came over. Great bunch of lads. A great selection of songs as well. It was the best night for takings landlord had that year. A lot of other pubs and the Brid Town social club did well.

 

It was a joke about their fans being from outside Manchester.

 

Wonder if the Plod will steam in as forcibly at certain other protests?

 

Is that Big Vern's R Kid? The one with the bird in the club shop.

 

.... but not as long ago as 24 hours

 

You live in some kind of vacuum?.
15 years ago, a huge percentage of MUFC season ticket holders abandoned them. Some formed and support F.C. United of Manchester, the rest gave up and have been replaced by a large contingent of newly resident Indian, Asian and 'tourist' consumers.

 

Wonder if they'd have got the game postponed if were Man U and not Man City going to lift the title today ?

 

Ten years I said
Carry on
Any link to this new resident Indian and Asian fandom??

 

You must be living underneath a Dwayne Johnson then. They protested when they beat us 4 - 0 at Old Trafford in 2010.
