FC United of Manchester. The very best of luck to them, I’m sure we all hope they do well. A well-respected TMFD writer can be heard talking in his cups about how AFC Wimbledon are the John The Baptist to FCUM’s Jesus, though neither has a programme, other than democracy and existence.
I hope they succeed in their stated aims. Actually, I think they’ve gone a long way to achieving those aims already, in so far as they have a club and they seem to be enjoying themselves. Well done to them.
Not well done to the Guardian, though, who consider this to be breaking news. Hold the back page: FCUM have some songs. Any club with more than a thousand regular attendees could write the an equivalent article. It’s the kind of thing which fills up a quarter page in a local rag on a slow day. This is just fawning.
