We, I speak as an Alty fan, will never be able to match the potential of FC Utd of Manchester. Having dealt with them outside a game of football, the workings behind the scenes are something we could never match. They have 100s of volunteers who manage and promote the club, which are numbers we could only dream of. They have individual commitees dealing with various issues from Planning and Building the new stadium, producing a match programme ,to sorting out hospitality for visiting teams.They have a Publicity Department that have access to so many sections of the media. I tried to tie up a "kit deal", but once I found myself up against some major brands, not just agents for these brands, I knew I had no chance.On Matchday there are so many FC Utd Officials under the Main Stand directing visitors to Various Suites and sorting out both teams requirements for the game, etc. Basicaslly, they are a "well oiled machine", and this in no way detracts from all Alty's volunteers, just simply trying to show what a phenonemun FC Utd is. I dont doubt that they will follow Wimbledon into the Football League eventually. We may have to watch them progress beyond us, hopefully we can follow them along the same path. Somehow, I doubt that. Their ambitions are probably a little higher that ours, playing alongside Manchester United is their goal. Just a thought!
p.s. this has no relation to yesterday's game, just a general view on FC Utd.
