For twenty years, the Glazers have treated Manchester United as a personal cash cow, draining over £1 billion from the club while lining their own pockets. The result is a club in disrepair, supporters priced out, and no future under their control.
On Saturday 29th March, FC United of Manchester invites all United supporters to Broadhurst Park for United United Day, where we will come together in solidarity as we face Stockton Town. Together, we will make our voices heard: enough is enough.
FC United was born out of the anger and frustration of Manchester United supporters when the Glazers took over. Since 2005, we've never told United fans what they should do—we've always been clear that we are an option, a choice. Whether you continue to support Manchester United, or if you're priced out of Old Trafford, or simply want something different, FC United has always offered an alternative without telling fans how they should act. Many do both—supporting both Manchester United in their own way and FC United as a true alternative.
The high-profile protests at Old Trafford over the last few years have been spearheaded by The 1958 group. In recent weeks, the group, in their attempts to unite the Manchester United fanbase, reached out to us and we have met with them.
In an age where it is all too easy for fans to believe that they are powerless and simply keep their heads down, this group of supporters have continued to stand up and demonstrate their opposition to the Glazer occupation. We are proud to stand united in our shared goal: responsible ownership at Manchester United and ensuring that the interests of supporters are put first.
United United Day
On Saturday 29th March, we will be joined by members of The 1958 group, who will bring along their banners and flags to be displayed amongst our own, in a show of the strength of feeling against the ongoing situation at Manchester United.
Before the match, in Course You Can Malcolm, there will be an opportunity to hear from representatives of The 1958 who will give an update on their campaign.
The day will be one of union and solidarity, for all United supporters to come together and make clear that the battle for responsible ownership at Manchester United goes on.
The history of FC United of Manchester is indelibly entwined with that of Manchester United, and we believe all United supporters must come together to achieve the goal of a better future for Manchester United.
FC United of Manchester remains a 100% fan-owned club, offering affordable football with a true community atmosphere. We provide a place for fans to make their own choices, whether they’re priced out of Old Trafford or seeking a different football experience. For 20 years, we’ve stood as an alternative—and that will never change.
Join us on 29th March to show solidarity with The 1958 group and the wider United fanbase.
We Are Stronger United
FC United of Manchester v Stockton Town - Saturday 29th March (3pm)
The usual pay on the gate will be available, but it would really help our planning if those who are coming along are able to purchase an advance ticket via Fanbase.
