FC United of Manchester collaborated with The 1958, a fan group from Manchester United, to protest against the 20-year ownership of the Glazer family. During a gathering of around 200 supporters before a match, attendees expressed their dissent through chants, colored flares, and banners, calling for change. The group announced plans for a sit-in during the upcoming Manchester derby, aiming to draw attention to ticket pricing issues and the impact of the Glazers on the club’s culture. This action reflects ongoing frustrations among fans regarding the club's direction and financial practices.
Steve Crompton of The 1958 emphasized the significance of previous sit-ins, stating, 'Probably one of the most impactful protests was when we did the sit-in, and we will be running another against City.'
Chris Haymes noted the alarming statistics gathered by MUST, saying, 'MUST did a flash survey and they reckon there's going to be about 7,000 concessions, OAP, other people, who are not going to renew their season tickets.'
The protest's symbolic nature was highlighted with the use of colors and chants, representing the historical struggle against the Glazers' ownership while connecting to the club's roots.
Fans united against the Glazers demonstrated their dissent powerfully, with flares, songs, and a sit-in planned, which reflects their long-standing fight for their club's future.
