I don't think the board are to blame in any way for today's events. We played United many times before FC Utd came on the scene and they were always good games played in a warm and friendly atmosphere. These hangers-on who came today are nothing to do with Manchester United in my view, they were FC United fans out to cause trouble and seriously misbehave.
I also echo the view that our stewards, as volunteers, can only be expected to do so much in these situations. I think it would be unfair to expect them to compromise their own safety by meeting these thugs head-on. The bottom line is the Police reaction was disgracefully slow and there is absolutely no doubt that if they had turned up when they should have done a lot of this trouble would have been avoided.
Once again, nobody at Altrincham F.C. is to blame in any way for today's disgraceful events.
Where do you think fcum fans come from? Exactly.
This was an anti-Glazer protest. Not an FCUM rally, not "bullying" of Alty. How many Alty fans were attacked?
And what happened to this woman who was "attacked"?
How many Alty fans would have been attacked if we had told you to "f**k off"?
Answering a question with a question - always a sign that you have no answer.
As for "if we had told you to f**k off?" - I don't know. I didn't go. I'm not a Man United supporter. Just trying to help you see sense. More difficult than I anticipated, bless your hearts.
You didnt go? And you know there was no FCUM fans there?
Your trying to justify what happened. Its not ok that someone got attacked whether or not they were female, whether or not they escaped serious harm. I dont care if the bunch of pricks supported Castleton Gabriels and it was an anti-Gary Barlow Protest, its not on to trash a ground at a friendly or any other game, and its not on to run on a pitch during a match and have a go at players.
The problem is that FCUM has now given a platform to the idiots who were too cheap to cause trouble at Old Trafford and the rest of europe. These fools arent football fans, they arent even decent hooligans. Now these idiots are going to Man U friendlies to ply their trade.
The American millionaires can pay for the damage.
I hope Man U and FCUM never darken our doors again to keep these bell ends away. Its a shame for Alty, FCUM and Man U. The club should have listened to us last year.
