Fc United Of Manchester, an outsider's view

Most of people must have heard about FC United Of Manchester..............
Can't remember????? Try to think...........
Yeah, I am talking about those rebels that went out and formed there own team after
Glazer Fiasco. So, you say what about them???
Well, They ain't doing badly without all the big money..
The guys have won 3 promotions in 3 years and are one step away from conference football.
Sounds intersting???
They don't even take shirt sponsorships. how these guys survive then??? dats ur next question....
Well we call it fan power. they always set records for attendance where ever they play.
It was formed by people who didn't want to take a mortgage to go watch football at old trafford.

But does the price of a United seson ticket make a difference to someone like me??? I mean i never went to 'Theatre of Dreams'. Maybe, never will. I can't afford it. Because i live on other side of atlantic. So what is the point in supporting a team that is not going to play against the best. A team that does not offer you best football possible. A team that is not even going to be on TV, Forget about watching it in flesh. Well, there's always a charm in supporting an underdog. isn't there?? 3 years ago it happened at united. now it can happen at your club. They would not ever play at premeir league level but they show you a world that didn't exist for you. Non league football. football where there is always a struggle for survival. football where even the champions are not sure they will be there next season. Sounds like a movie.
Then go ahead. support the new red. The Communist red. Fans' red.
