Interesting that one of the reasons why this spurious team was set up was because Man Utd fans wanted to watch matches at 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon and didn't want to be slaves to the TV channels. Their last FA cup tie with Barrow was on a Sunday afternoon and in Round One the trip to Rochdale is on Friday night!

From the FC United website
'The club set up in protest to Malcolm Glazer's takeover of Manchester United' is a statement often used to describe FC United. But while there is no doubt that FC would not have happened without the American invasion, it was the catalyst, the final straw, but not the sole reason.
The material theft of a Manchester institution, forcibly taken from the people of Manchester, was the tip of a pyramid of destruction, with changing kick off times for the benefit of television, soulless all-seater stadia full of 'new' supporters intent to sit back and watch rather than partake in the occasion, heavy handed stewarding and ridiculously priced tickets propping it all up.'
So georgethebassett was right & wrong at the same time.
