Incidentally, well done on FCUM's promotion. I watch their match highlights regularly on Channel M and I've been well impressed. Reckon you'll be celebrating another promotion in a year's time.

...which brings me onto another point. Like all FCUM fans, you're adamant that you still support MUFC and that it's just the owners you don't like. Well, what I want to know is this - imagine the scenario in a few year's time, FCUM are successfully playing in Div 2, meanwhile the Glazers have decided to sell MUFC to more "acceptable" owners. What happens? Would you all just disband FCUM and go back to Old Trafford? Or another scenario that could happen even sooner - FCUM go on a good cup run and are drawn against MUFC - who would you support?

I'm not asking these questions because I'm having a go - just curious, that's all!
A good question and in truth I can't at this moment think of an answer .But something we have been discussing on our forum is we may struggle if we was in the Conference to get football league status because we are not limited as a club,we are owned by ourselves the fans.Its something that confuses me but on the whole all the fans as yet do not want to change that case thats not what we are about,we are against this sort of thing.So the future could be interesting,think of it FCUM win the conference easy, obviously ground facilities meet requirements and yet football league refuse them entry.An intresting scenario and one which if it happens will make the F.A. look a right set of numpties.
