Manchester People Coming To Visit

[joggerjayne]

I can't get very excited about Cup competitions, but ...

We beat Woking (just) last night. Not that I was there, or anything.

So now, next weekend, we have some Manchester people coming down.

"FC United of Manchester"

Is this a 3rd Manchester team ?

Why the odd name ?

Are they nice fans ?

In much of Europe the big footballs teams are community ventures, rather than being run as commercial businesses. (e.g. Barcelona FC falls into that category).

FCUM is a community-based organisation which is seeking to create a similar club for Manchester:

FCUM were founded by a group of fans who were disgruntled at the Glazer takeover at Manchester United

Oh, well I think they will be quite jolly then.

Maybe I'll go to the match.

Just joking .....

If they support a nice little team, I'm sure they'll be nice fans.

I don't go if the fans are going to be horrid.

I'm going to call in the Seagulls Supporters Shop tomorrow, and make sure they've seen that video.

We don't want to get caught out like that !!
