FC United - bit big for their boots?

Club Statement - Saturday's game v FC United
DUE TO A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY AND SUBSEQUENT RUMOURS AND INNUENDO FLYING AROUND ON BOTH THE FC UNITED FORUM AND FYLDE’S, WE FELT IT NECESSARY TO PUT OUT A FULL STATEMENT OF THE FACTS.

Saturday was a pretty bad day for AFC Fylde not because of the defeat but because of the intimidating atmosphere that existed from the minute FC United fans started arriving at the ground. All of which we believe could have been avoided had their committee acted in a more thoughtful manner.

The background that led up to what happened is important.

The last sentence made me chuckle

 

[vegster]

Abusive fans causing distress and climbing in for free ? why not call the local constabulary at the time ?

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

A bit of a storm in a teacup but it certainly doesn't show FC united in a good light if taken at face value.

The last paragraph is very funny though - sods law is a powerful force indeed!

Ex Man U fans, say no more

To be honest bumch of ****wits. They just wanted to support a team with a variation of "Manchester Utd" in the title if they were that disenfranchised why not support Rochdale or Bury or Stockport or Oldham or Macclesfield or any nber of North West teams that could have done with their "support"

 

[middletoenail]

That's why they were 'cat c' at withdean, makes sense now.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Sound like a bunch of twats basically

I've always thought this. It's not as if there's a limited choice of lower or non-league teams to support in Manchester.

It's not really the same though is it. They could turn up at any of those clubs but they wouldn't be in control. How do they choose which club to turn up at, toss a coin?

This story sounds like 6 of one and half a dozen..... FCUM have a big following, why would you get so anal about some comp tickets for their entourage

Whilst the actions of those at the ground should rightly be criticised I can't but help the whole situation could have been avoided if the home side were not so pedantic over a few extra team personnel coming in free.

What was it £40 of gate revenue??!! Hardly worth all the fuss.

That said does not condone the actions following that

It's 44 miles from the centre of Manchester to Fylde FC, did they really need to take a Nutritionist on that journey ? Are they trying to monitor the players intake of Prawn sandwiches ?

You can take the United fan out of Manchester United but you can NEVER take the billy big bollocks attitude out of them

 

[dougdeep]

FC United were by far the loudest & best away fans to ever grace the Withdean

You didn't go to many games then?

 

[Badger]

To be fair, if they're all former Man Utd fans they've probably never been to a match before so they wouldn't know how they were supposed to behave.

Oooooooh, good counter argument.

have any of you actually been to an FC United home match? thought not

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Oooooooh, good counter argument.

not really, but having been to several FC matches home and away and having a first hand knowledge of how/why the club was set up, the complete nonsense and failure to 'see the point' spouted on here (when we played them in the cup) by 'fans' that cant see through their Chelsea style hatred of 'Man You' and have never witnessed an FC match first hand is painful, and I'm not wasting my time labouring the point this time round
