You go to so many games you were bound to see a dull match eventually. The film "Looking for Eric" features FCUM and a certain Eric Cantona. Liked the Aussie bloke. I wonder if there are league clubs around which are the result of a split or protest.
It's incredible when you think about fans setting up protest clubs and making them successful as well on a low budget. You can't help, but take your hat off to them for the success they've achieved.
@@Pvrge. they were a premier league team before the franchise took over, and it says a lot about their fan base that they had enough passion to start up their club again and bring it from div 9 to div 3 in 10 years, imagine if it happened to your club
Well said mate. On the whole, Sam gets huge respect up here in Scotland. Some detractors, as you’d expect, but, those aside, he does a sterling job, and deserves credit. It’s no easy task covering both the Glasgow teams, and not get flak from some quarters.
I guess it's not only about the Glazers, it's about modern football in general as well, and FCUM is giving the longtime ManUtd fans and all Mancunians who dislike today's top-flight football an opportunity to meet like-minded people and to have a good time at Broadhurst Park.
The AFC Wimbledon story is even more important, taking a club from its home city to another against the will of the fans. They made it back into the league and long may they continue to inspire other clubs who have fallen out like Bury.
There is something very punk rock if you like about saying "we're not happy with the status quo at our club, so we're going to create one of our own entirely from scratch." You might not have the glitz and glamour of the Premier League but you definitely have the sense of accomplishment of building something with your own hands, against the odds.
Whilst I'm not an MUFC fan I go sometimes to FC. It's a wonderful community club with a good ethos, good atmosphere and an affordable and great day out. I do wonder what would happened if Big United got a decent owner? How much would that affect FC? I think to grow it may have to develop to attract fans who may not ever identify as MUFC fans? I think there are FC fans who have never been MUFC fan but admire the ethos and values of the club.
You cant be an fc united fan if you dont have some sort of love for MUFC. The club is born from the heart of passionate man united supporters who still watch united
I had the chance to visit the club in 2019. I was a journalist back then and I was actually invited by Man United to cover the derby. I spent five days in Manchester and visiting FCUM was the best experience. I was welcomed with such warmth and open arms. I wasn't treated as a person you do business with. I was treated as a friend.
Great to see you visit FC! They’re a club I’ve filmed at a couple of times recently and they’ve always been super friendly and hospitable with me. Let me know if you’re ever vlogging a game at another Non League Club up North and I’d be happy to come along and feature on the channel again!
They played at my local club (Belper) a few weeks ago and I found myself talking to one of their board. Good club and fans. They bought a lot down on a Tuesday night (and won 😢). Non league is a great experience. Going to away matches on a coach with the players, and celebrating a win with them in the way back. Premier League is great for TV, but I can't see myself going to "big" football in person again.
One of the best videos I've seen. From watching my first FC game at 8 weeks old to now going home and away everywhere at 14. It feels so cool that our family has a video about us. Thank you very much👍
FC Utds Stadium is built on a Old Cycle Speedway track !! I spent many hours falling off my bike on it. Part of the terracing was formerly part of Northwich Victoria's Dane Bank terrace until 9/10 years ago.
We (1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig) played against United of Manchester on May 12th, 2006. The game, in the Bruno Plache Stadium, ended 4:4. At 1:58 min, on the right side, you can see part of the pennant of my favorite home team, 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig.
Great that you showcased this club. Hats off to all those involved in the running of FC United of Manchester. Shows just what can be achieved when people put their minds to it!👏😁
Quality video! Seen them down at Newcastle Town in 2006 and a few times at Stafford Rangers in recent years, great atmosphere wherever they go, always wanted to tick the ground off my list and can't wait to do so 2nd to last game of the season! Also South Shields would be another fascinating club to visit from the same division, not a protest club but they're fan base is also huge for the level!
Absolutely love your content, so enthusiastic and informative. I’m a life long fan of Cray Wanderers of the Isthmian Premier League. We are a “disputed” 2nd oldest club in the world but factually the oldest club in London. Currently in the process of building our own stadium after 22 years of ground sharing with Bromley FC. I’d love for you to do a video on our club, I’m certain you’d enjoy it as much as it would definitely be worth it lol. Keep up the fantastic work. Hope to see you at Cray Wanderers soon
All the time I watch the videos about FCMU I'm drawn to giving up my season ticket and watch FCMU. I started watching United back in 1966. I want that feeling back.
Altrincham FC are a pretty cool club based in South Manchester, they hold the record for most FA Cup giant killings by a non league and they’ve also took Everton and Tottenham to a replay. Well worth checking out if you ever get chance!
Love this content. These videos and the Scottish & Irish football are real football. Much better than the Premiership. One question I want to ask FC Utd fans is if the Glazers sell up will the same hunger and desire remain if they get owners who are more fan friendly? not that I think it will be the case, I think the new owners will be just as greedy. I loved the Aussie lad when he said "the vulgarity of the premiership".
I remember the birth of United of Manchester and I supported it but I confess that I forgot about them for a while now I fell guilty and I'll support and follow them more closely. Thank you for the amazing video!
I'd love to see more videos at this level. I follow South Shields in the same division and we have seen massive progress in recent years, both on the pitch, up the divisions and the club and ground itself has been massively developed. regularly getting 2.5k fans to games
Ive been a Manchester city fan of 40 years. Im exile Mancunian what lives in Scarborough now. My last City game was about 3 years ago. It was first game of the season v Norwich. We were reigning premier League champions, and the atmosphere was pitful. And 50 pound for the privilege. That was it for me. Sick of ludicrous ticket prices. Fed up sat with corporate and day trippers who only jumped on the football bandwagon after Euro 96. Fed up with silly kick off days and times to accommodate Sky and TNT sport's. It was done with an heavy heart and maybe living 100 odd miles away made the decision easier. But i stopped enjoying the match day going experience. Its not the game i grew up with going to Maine Road stood in the Kippax in the 80s and 90s even the early 00s. I watch none league Scarborough now!!!
respect for FCUM club, they've taken action rather than sit on their arses moaning. You'd hope that any MU supporter who has a grievance against the owners would go support this club couple of times a season
@Maradonaldinho thats wrong. Alot of fc fans still hold season tickets at old trafford and go to games. They sing united songs at FC matches, and anti city and Liverpool songs. They are the most passionate man united fans you will find. They just hate the glazers. Most of them still follow unitef
@Maradonaldinho if you guys really wanted to become a democratic club again and kick the glazers out you would stop showing up to matches but I think thats not what you guys want
Great video! I would just like to correct the fan talking about the Glazers putting money in the club. They have never invested ONE PENNY OF THEIR OWN MONEY! Whenever they "invest" in the club, it's basically releasing money generated by the club itself! Glazers OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT!
As a Newcastle fan who has suffered 15 years of non-investment, exploitation of loyalty and multiple relegations, I pine for the days when it was men from down the coal pits who made up the backbone of Northeast football at the highest level, even after the events of the past year and subsequent renaissance. Times change, and unfortunately the corporate game has taken over. Getting a sovereign wealth fund from a certain oil rich Gulf state is an unfortunate reality for us to remain of the historical stature we're at and fanbase we have, notwithstanding the absence of success. But I love grassroots football. That's why I love Gateshead and Spartans
Another great video, you should be on TV doing this mate, love the effort and production.....as for the ground I checked the other day I'm on 50 non league grounds......think I've just found my 51st , FCUM here I come.
Fair play to them, he’s 100% correct the money interests have taken away & are robbing the people who have built football, the working class. Hello from Scotland 🏴
As a Newcastle fan I can really respect this. Ashley was bad enough, but now that we're funded by the Saudi state, my love of the club and of football in general has really waned, as I find I can't put my enjoyment of the sport over my morals. More and more these days it feels like money and rampant capitalism is ruining everything I once enjoyed. Soulless is exactly the right word.
Absolutely cracking watch, I thought FC united had folded years ago and merged into Salford city. Great to see what they have become, look really well ran.
There’s a brilliant video of FC fans constantly singing at Halifax. Great use of anarchy in the uk. I am not a MUFC fan at all; but the glazers have stolen some of soul of English football with their business model.
Brilliant club are FC United I did a football manager save with them last season Really like the fact the fans of Manchester United coming together to create such a likeable club in protest against the Glazers taking over their club A concept that seems so alien to many has brought so many together
I'm a boro fan and I remember us getting man united away in the cup and tickets were £46. The next home game we had a banner that said "working class game" "stop football gr££d" so I hope fcum make the third round and we're able to get them
Great content! You have to admire their ethos even if you're not anyway affiliated to Manchester United. Unreal facilities for their level, massive fan base and should at least be in the league above but they're not, it's a decent day/evening there as an away fan, good beer and three points!
While the odds of it happening are pretty low, it would be cool if FC United of Manchester were to end up meeting Manchester United in the FA Cup. I know it would take a good run on FC United's side and a lucky draw, but it'd be a cool moment to see. Gotta respect the die hard fans passion to not support the Glaser ownership. The abbreviation (FCUM) is almost like a snide way to say "f*ck 'em" to Man. United.😁
Very good video thanks to you Sam as it proves that football is really about the people and the community and if you got every person who has sincerity then all works out good hey
I'm a Millwall fan since 1973 but lived in Manchester for 12 years and witnessed the birth of this fantastic community team, and went along if and when I have time. I see them a few times annually and love it! My older daughters live nearby and love the team and everything it stands for. Real fans, real grass roots football, democratic values, where it's about friends, community, belonging, unlike everything that Glazer United stands for (and the mugs who support that nonsense). All power to FC United!
another good one sam..i like the guy that commented about premier stadiums being souless thinking of going to see fc at some point..folks correct me if im wrong but didnt sky want to show a fc cup game a few years ago and fc told them no???
FC United of Manchester call themselves FC United, the Reds or the Rebel Reds. They now have their own ground as well. I'm so glad you're back covering non-league of England. I have recently made some non-league videos on my channels and have done some groundhopping due to you. I will be leaving Derby in a few weeks which is making me a bit sad as I'll leave my club and the surrounding non-league clubs I've come to adore over recent seasons but I am going to Newcastle University and potentially thinking of going to see some non-league games in the North East so I will hopefully meet you one day when you come down to Newcastle.
Get down to hartlepool. Its league 2 but the fans are great. Blyth spartans, gateshead, spennymoor town, Darlington are probably the best non league clubs in the NE to go to
@@samuelpinder1215 Yeah there's a non league society at the uni so I was thinking of going to wherever they are. I have covered all those clubs on my channel and I know a fan of Darlington. Hartlepool is an interesting shout I'll see if Derby ever play them if I could get down there
@@ramsfanyt8227 newcastle university have their own non league team as well. Hartlepool wont go up to league 1 so you might have to hope for fa cup 2nd round
I love this motto (I won't say 'slogan' because that sounds like some sort of marketing), "Making friends, not millionaires". Just imagine them entering the EFL one day, maybe League Two or League One, a bit like AFC Wimbledon...followed by attendances of 5,000 or 10,000 in an expanded Broadhurst Park. This would be awesome. If you ask me, these two corporations from Manchester playing in the Premiership, run by billionaires from the US (the Glazers) or from the Middle East (City), don't deserve to be supported in any way. Aside from FC United, I've always preferred the clubs in the outskirts of Manchester such as Oldham Athletic or Stockport County, not least because of their home stadiums, Boundary Park and Edgeley Park, which are so lovely and still spread the charm of classic English (or British) football grounds. Best regards from Germany and all the best for FCUM.
I hope the players see the passion associated with Manchester United, hopefully someday we get to see FC United of Manchester vs Manchester United in an FA Cup Tie...would be something
It was about time I saw a video on FC! Even though I am a United fan, the Glazers are not my cup of tea and I want them out as much as the next person. Any chance of a go at AFC Liverpool? They have a similar background to FC United (to protest the American ownership of Liverpool FC, and also for fans who were priced out of the Premier League)
You should come to Scarborough for a game! Scarborough Athletic are currently in Vanarama National League North. Just got promoted from the league where FCUM are. A fan owned club as well with great atmosphere, lovely fans and just opened a huge bar! I would be able to show you around the ground at a game and maybe even get the chairman talk to you!
i'm in Oldham, watched your video on the latics yesterday, but actually live closer to this ground than Boundary Park, drove past yesterday. in fact im starting to realize im surrounded by football grounds.
I've been a Manchester United fan for 35 years. One of the things I hated when the Glazers took over was they took out a loan to bye the club, then put the loan in the clubs name and we are still paying for it. The Glazers only recently put money into the club and that was to pay the UEFA fine for this collapsed Super League they tried to force us into. Every other penny put into the club has been more loans put in the clubs name. Yet they have taken over £2 billion from the club. Also Old Trafford is falling down and has not had any money invested in it yet to save it. FC United stadium is in a lot better condition. Before the Glazers took over the club was run by people who loved the club, people who had a passion for the club and its fans. We didn't owe a penny to anyone. The club was debt free. We only spent what we made. That was the clubs rule. We spent a lot because we were the top side in the 90s and we made a lot of money because of it. Think about it in the 90s before the Glazers took over we dominated English football. Pretty much every season we won something. Their were one or two where we didn't. But you think about it in the 1990s Manchester United won the Premier League (6 times). The FA Cup. The League Cup. The Charity Shield. The Champions League. The old European Cup winners cup. The European Super Cup. The World Club Cup. I remember when Manchester Cities owners first bought the club and they tried to sign a player called Ronaldinho. He had never heard of Manchester City. When he was told a club from Manchester was interested in him he said Manchester United. When he was told no it was Manchester City he asked who they were. He was later told Manchester United were also interested in him. He turned around and told Manchester City he would only sign for them if he was given £500000 a week tax free and bonuses. He turned around and Told Manchester United he would sign for them for £500000 per week and he would pay the taxes on it and don't worry about the bonuses and at the time every club in the world including Real Madrid wanted to sign him
I'm gonna go to Manchester for the first time some time between january and april next year. I'm gonna plan the trip so I get to see both man utd and fc united.
Please come to Liversedge ground Clayborn, 2 back to back promotions to get into same league as FCUoM, we have them at home 27th Sept, we have great attendances for our level
This is the club old Trafford fc club should support, good video Sam. Well done to rangers on getting to UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE group stage in 2022 and 2023 season Glazers in i say, the Manchester United fans should be thanking the Glazers.
tbh im a blue.. but have noticed FC Utd climb the leagues year after year.. there is just something about grassroots football, some people & fans there at FC utd have seen it from the beginning and to be where they are now is quite an achievement in the time they have been around ! Got to say grats & good luck..
Time for you to get down to another fan owned club Banbury United, the team that won the Southern league premier Division central by an astonishing 23 points last season and currently sit second in The National League North
As someone’s who lives in the area they built the stadium for F.C united of Manchester, they was able to build it there because they said it was for the community but no body asked for it and it’s definitely not for the community, wished they would have built it somewhere else.
Did they mention that the old board members that set up the club used the money and loans from charities on themselves, the club is now debt ridden and the Manchester city council are owned a lot of money, also the people of Moston did not want them and voted against them moving to Broadhurst park, but they did the dirty on them and the council was lied too about Moston youth team involvement

Can u pls go and watch a south shield fc game pls love the videos
Have you not tried afc Liverpool or the city of Liverpool Sam got 2 to pick from
Another good one is Warrington V FC United and South Shields V FC United
It's incredible when you think about fans setting up protest clubs and making them successful as well on a low budget. You can't help, but take your hat off to them for the success they've achieved.
Biggest example being afc Wimbledon, made it all the way to league one
@@Wilkins1933 Down to league 2 now
They haven't achieved anything, they are a tiny non league team that will go bankrupt in less than 10 years
@@Pvrge. they were a premier league team before the franchise took over, and it says a lot about their fan base that they had enough passion to start up their club again and bring it from div 9 to div 3 in 10 years, imagine if it happened to your club

How has this guy not got more subscribers, he puts so much effort into his videos, people need to get behind this guy more
Legend Joe, thanks for the kind words. I’ll keep pumping out the videos and hopefully we’ll pick a few more subs up along the way 🙂
@@FootyAdventures well if I’m not mistaken your a Buckinghamshire lad as well and we got to stick together
Met him last night in person and a top bloke. Down the earth guy. ⚽⚽⚽
Well said mate.
On the whole, Sam gets huge respect up here in Scotland.
Some detractors, as you’d expect, but, those aside, he does a sterling job, and deserves credit.
It’s no easy task covering both the Glasgow teams, and not get flak from some quarters.
I'm a liverpoll fan with an afc wimbledon season ticket
Its no longer a protest, its a club in its own right. If the Glazers sold up/walked away FCUM would still exist.
I guess it's not only about the Glazers, it's about modern football in general as well, and FCUM is giving the longtime ManUtd fans and all Mancunians who dislike today's top-flight football an opportunity to meet like-minded people and to have a good time at Broadhurst Park.
They are barely even a club, just some tiny insignificant non league team
@@Pvrge. from 10th tier to 7th it's a long grind
@@Pvrge. Most casual take ever lmao, non-league fans have more love for their clubs than your parents have for you
@@tyIenoI If you enjoy wasting your time watching part time plumbers play football it's your problem
The AFC Wimbledon story is even more important, taking a club from its home city to another against the will of the fans. They made it back into the league and long may they continue to inspire other clubs who have fallen out like Bury.
Not only that they built a ground on a prime London location
At least the likes of Bury and Macclesfield have returned and are climbing up the system
AFC Wimbledon were integral in helping set up FC United too. Lots of advice on how to make it work etc, and the two clubs have a great relationship.
There is something very punk rock if you like about saying "we're not happy with the status quo at our club, so we're going to create one of our own entirely from scratch." You might not have the glitz and glamour of the Premier League but you definitely have the sense of accomplishment of building something with your own hands, against the odds.

I think there are FC fans who have never been MUFC fan but admire the ethos and values of the club.
maybe they could be a place to train the youngsters or post injury players? i think it might be can function like B team in spain
You cant be an fc united fan if you dont have some sort of love for MUFC. The club is born from the heart of passionate man united supporters who still watch united
@@Johndoe-gf7eu you can tho

FC United of Manchester played my club Detroit City FC in a friendly a few years ago. Great game 3-3! Wishing them all the best!

Great video Sam really enjoy seeing non league teams and grounds in England and Scotland
The issue is corruption and oil clubs. Not the Glazers. They have spent a ridiculous amount of money for a non-oil club owner
Absolutely cracking watch, I thought FC united had folded years ago and merged into Salford city. Great to see what they have become, look really well ran.
Salford have been bankrolled by ex Manchester United players. Very different to FCUM
I’ve been to Broadhurst Park on 2 occasions, FCUoM is a smashing club with a football league standard ground.
I just love your videos! Great work!
The glazers didn’t buy Man Utd. They borrowed money against Utd thus putting the club in debt. At no time did they use their own money.
There’s a brilliant video of FC fans constantly singing at Halifax.
Great use of anarchy in the uk.
I am not a MUFC fan at all; but the glazers have stolen some of soul of English football with their business model.
As always, Brilliant video! Seriously hope your subscriber numbers rise, love your content please keep doing what your doing! Legend
Fantastic interview @thestart 👏 yer a dab'hawn at this video malarky, you've achieved so so much. Thanks for what you do , 😉.
outstanding job mate, new sub from mexico wish i make it to work in english football one day, so much pasion
Brilliant club are FC United
I did a football manager save with them last season
Really like the fact the fans of Manchester United coming together to create such a likeable club in protest against the Glazers taking over their club
A concept that seems so alien to many has brought so many together
👀
I'm a boro fan and I remember us getting man united away in the cup and tickets were £46. The next home game we had a banner that said "working class game" "stop football gr££d" so I hope fcum make the third round and we're able to get them
One of my favourite away grounds when Boston have played. Friendly fans. Super club .. it’s an awesome day out . 👍🏻👍🏻
just stumbled on your profile and proper good content, lad. deffo subscribing, keep up the good work
Great content! You have to admire their ethos even if you're not anyway affiliated to Manchester United. Unreal facilities for their level, massive fan base and should at least be in the league above but they're not, it's a decent day/evening there as an away fan, good beer and three points!
My son in law designed the badge,was a season ticket holder at Man Utd but give up in 2005
That's great, but most of FCUM fans still support Man United right?
While the odds of it happening are pretty low, it would be cool if FC United of Manchester were to end up meeting Manchester United in the FA Cup. I know it would take a good run on FC United's side and a lucky draw, but it'd be a cool moment to see.
Gotta respect the die hard fans passion to not support the Glaser ownership. The abbreviation (FCUM) is almost like a snide way to say "f*ck 'em" to Man. United.😁
Wouldn’t go if it was at OT, not a penny more.
Another fact, the blessed by some Fergie, forbid any player at any level to go anywhere near FCUM! Only Ole Gunnar disobeyed.
Very good video thanks to you Sam as it proves that football is really about the people and the community and if you got every person who has sincerity then all works out good hey
I'm a Millwall fan since 1973 but lived in Manchester for 12 years and witnessed the birth of this fantastic community team, and went along if and when I have time. I see them a few times annually and love it! My older daughters live nearby and love the team and everything it stands for. Real fans, real grass roots football, democratic values, where it's about friends, community, belonging, unlike everything that Glazer United stands for (and the mugs who support that nonsense). All power to FC United!
Love this, another great video!
UTT
another good one sam..i like the guy that commented about premier stadiums being souless thinking of going to see fc at some point..folks correct me if im wrong but didnt sky want to show a fc cup game a few years ago and fc told them no???
FC United of Manchester call themselves FC United, the Reds or the Rebel Reds. They now have their own ground as well. I'm so glad you're back covering non-league of England. I have recently made some non-league videos on my channels and have done some groundhopping due to you. I will be leaving Derby in a few weeks which is making me a bit sad as I'll leave my club and the surrounding non-league clubs I've come to adore over recent seasons but I am going to Newcastle University and potentially thinking of going to see some non-league games in the North East so I will hopefully meet you one day when you come down to Newcastle.
Once a Ram always a Ram
Get down to hartlepool. Its league 2 but the fans are great. Blyth spartans, gateshead, spennymoor town, Darlington are probably the best non league clubs in the NE to go to
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117 Exactly.
@@samuelpinder1215 Yeah there's a non league society at the uni so I was thinking of going to wherever they are. I have covered all those clubs on my channel and I know a fan of Darlington. Hartlepool is an interesting shout I'll see if Derby ever play them if I could get down there
@@ramsfanyt8227 newcastle university have their own non league team as well. Hartlepool wont go up to league 1 so you might have to hope for fa cup 2nd round
I love this motto (I won't say 'slogan' because that sounds like some sort of marketing), "Making friends, not millionaires". Just imagine them entering the EFL one day, maybe League Two or League One, a bit like AFC Wimbledon...followed by attendances of 5,000 or 10,000 in an expanded Broadhurst Park. This would be awesome. If you ask me, these two corporations from Manchester playing in the Premiership, run by billionaires from the US (the Glazers) or from the Middle East (City), don't deserve to be supported in any way. Aside from FC United, I've always preferred the clubs in the outskirts of Manchester such as Oldham Athletic or Stockport County, not least because of their home stadiums, Boundary Park and Edgeley Park, which are so lovely and still spread the charm of classic English (or British) football grounds. Best regards from Germany and all the best for FCUM.
I hope the players see the passion associated with Manchester United, hopefully someday we get to see FC United of Manchester vs Manchester United in an FA Cup Tie...would be something
I think I found my favourite non-league team.
Love Football, hate the money!
I was going too the Chelsea matches before Russianmoney. I Travel from sweden. Now i dont really care. Sad but true.
What happens to the club if the glazers go
It's the cleverest acronym I've seen....FCUM.......fuck 'um. Love it, So Manchester.
Great vid ,mate , love how ordinary people ,can support a real football team again , GLAZIERS OUT ........
It was about time I saw a video on FC! Even though I am a United fan, the Glazers are not my cup of tea and I want them out as much as the next person.
Any chance of a go at AFC Liverpool? They have a similar background to FC United (to protest the American ownership of Liverpool FC, and also for fans who were priced out of the Premier League)
Crazy that this is on ur channel I live like 5 mins away from there😂
You should come to Scarborough for a game! Scarborough Athletic are currently in Vanarama National League North. Just got promoted from the league where FCUM are. A fan owned club as well with great atmosphere, lovely fans and just opened a huge bar! I would be able to show you around the ground at a game and maybe even get the chairman talk to you!
Nice video mate!
7:08 Australia for a game? Fair.
Hot Vimto..... why....... good bit of football knoledge, keep up the good work and research.
Mufc played at Maine road mcfc for quite some time after the war due to bomb damage to OT
i'm in Oldham, watched your video on the latics yesterday, but actually live closer to this ground than Boundary Park, drove past yesterday. in fact im starting to realize im surrounded by football grounds.
i remember watching that game vs Benfica! all the best for FCUM!! 🦅🔴⚪
This guy deserves more subs
Just love those little lads....I was their age when I was in the Stretford End.
I've been a Manchester United fan for 35 years. One of the things I hated when the Glazers took over was they took out a loan to bye the club, then put the loan in the clubs name and we are still paying for it. The Glazers only recently put money into the club and that was to pay the UEFA fine for this collapsed Super League they tried to force us into. Every other penny put into the club has been more loans put in the clubs name. Yet they have taken over £2 billion from the club. Also Old Trafford is falling down and has not had any money invested in it yet to save it. FC United stadium is in a lot better condition. Before the Glazers took over the club was run by people who loved the club, people who had a passion for the club and its fans. We didn't owe a penny to anyone. The club was debt free. We only spent what we made. That was the clubs rule. We spent a lot because we were the top side in the 90s and we made a lot of money because of it. Think about it in the 90s before the Glazers took over we dominated English football. Pretty much every season we won something. Their were one or two where we didn't. But you think about it in the 1990s Manchester United won the Premier League (6 times). The FA Cup. The League Cup. The Charity Shield. The Champions League. The old European Cup winners cup. The European Super Cup. The World Club Cup. I remember when Manchester Cities owners first bought the club and they tried to sign a player called Ronaldinho. He had never heard of Manchester City. When he was told a club from Manchester was interested in him he said Manchester United. When he was told no it was Manchester City he asked who they were. He was later told Manchester United were also interested in him. He turned around and told Manchester City he would only sign for them if he was given £500000 a week tax free and bonuses. He turned around and Told Manchester United he would sign for them for £500000 per week and he would pay the taxes on it and don't worry about the bonuses and at the time every club in the world including Real Madrid wanted to sign him
I'm gonna go to Manchester for the first time some time between january and april next year. I'm gonna plan the trip so I get to see both man utd and fc united.
It’s crazy to think that FC United have been around longer than some teenagers! Makes me feel old as I was a teenager when they formed 😫
That's how fast the time flies mate
I’d love a video on AFC Liverpool, a splinter club from Liverpool very much like FC United.
Fantastic how the fans started up this club and with succes.
Please come to Liversedge ground Clayborn, 2 back to back promotions to get into same league as FCUoM, we have them at home 27th Sept, we have great attendances for our level
Really nice stadium impressed with it -fair play to everyone at fc united
Nailed it again my son 👏
This is the club old Trafford fc club should support, good video Sam. Well done to rangers on getting to UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE group stage in 2022 and 2023 season
Glazers in i say, the Manchester United fans should be thanking the Glazers.
Great video. Nice stadium.
tbh im a blue.. but have noticed FC Utd climb the leagues year after year.. there is just something about grassroots football, some people & fans there at FC utd have seen it from the beginning and to be where they are now is quite an achievement in the time they have been around !
Got to say grats & good luck..
You should visit bury again because a lot has happend since you visited
1:08 more into Manchester?
Time for you to get down to another fan owned club Banbury United, the team that won the Southern league premier Division central by an astonishing 23 points last season and currently sit second in The National League North
As someone’s who lives in the area they built the stadium for F.C united of Manchester, they was able to build it there because they said it was for the community but no body asked for it and it’s definitely not for the community, wished they would have built it somewhere else.
what about the astroturf used by local kids and the links with Moston Juniors? That's not community engagement?
They should have called themselves Newton Heath and wore the green and gold
Did they mention that the old board members that set up the club used the money and loans from charities on themselves,
the club is now debt ridden and the Manchester city council are owned a lot of money, also the people of Moston did not want them and voted against them moving to Broadhurst park, but they did the dirty on them and the council was lied too about Moston youth team involvement
I'm suprised any one from Moston found time to stop drinking or taking drugs to complain. ....utter shite hole ...
