Having said that, I did boycott OT for a season in a token protest and did not spend any money in the shop in fear of it only going to finance the debt, which most of the hard-earned pennies we all spend on the club we love will do from now on.
It is a crying shame that a club as big as United should now be run like this, in secret, with little transparency required, unlike when quoted on the stock market. I was so proud to be a shareholder - albeit a minor one - that I even refused to send back my certificate and declared it lost. OK, so it's worthless in the real world, but to me, it's priceless.
I have, of course, seen sense for my personal needs, if you like, and the protest lasted 1 season only. I now get to as many games as I can. I am still a member of MUST and would love to see the club owned by real fans.
I can understand the stand these guys make. Having said all of that, we're free to make our own choices and should be able to without fear of reprisals or personal attacks.
'Nuff said.
I second everything you say.
I too very much admire the stand the guys have chosen to take. However I couldn't totally support them as I would miss out on 'The roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd' too much. We sing together we cheer together and we cry together, these are precious times and are not be missed at any cost. Our club is my addiction and a habit I can't break but, with almost 1750 members signed up now, good luck to FCUM.
