FCUM fans considering an official boycott on 27th

It seems as though our visitors from the Evostick league are considering declining their allocation of 850 tickets.

They beleive BHA have discriminated against them, as Woking were given a larger allocation (East Stand) and that BHA have broken FA rules and not offered 15% to the away team.

If we have only given them 10%, which as I understand is a breach of the rules, it's a daft and potentially troublsome decision.

Firstly, we will not sell the other 8000 tickets, we will be lucky to sell 5000, so there is up to £30k in revenue, just from ticket sales going a miss. We might be able to afford it, but can FCUM?

Secondly, what if they do come down in force. They will be in the home end, they will be outside the ground.

FFS, Albion, sort this - It's crazy, potentially dangerous and above all unfair!

Man Utd wannabes

They can do what the f*** they like, should've supported Bury instead.

Interesting. An sure it'll be sorted, though...

Would have expected the club to conform to the rules about 15% allocation unless advised otherwise by their club.

Beach Hut · Nov 18, 2010

Personally they have a point as the rules state their allocation so why can't they have it ?

Starting to dislike this lot now.

Bloody tinpot northerners trying to throw their weight around. They seem to think they always have the moral high ground.

The Cockney Reds ("Going out of their 'eads") will be down. Evil bastards.

Marc · Nov 18, 2010

has it been stated anywhere that we're only offering them 10%?

timbha · Nov 18, 2010

they seem to be an angry bunch wanting to challenge everything, thinking they are somehow superior because they are the "real" fans of Man U. As we found out all those years ago, it's better to protest from within.

(they've probably got a point though)

Give them 15% but make them pay up front (as I believe is allowed).

Unless of course the club are doing it on Police advice.

Brighton M · Nov 18, 2010

It is the police costs preventing them having a bigger allocation

vegster · Nov 18, 2010

Good if they boycott.
Its just a stunt anyway. The odds are that they won't sell their allocation anyway and that would look bad as they are now getting some juicy publicity as they progress in the cup.

The "Good, Honest, Principled team raised from an idea in the pub" story would not look so good with just 180 loyal fans stood in the East.

clippedgull · Nov 18, 2010

The 15% is not obligatory under special circumstances. Police advice, segregation worries etc etc.

But as said, why can't they have the same as Woking had :shrug:

We could quite easily afford it as we would make 2-3 even more on donations that people would give on the money saved by not going to the game
in my case it would be 50% of a ten quid ticket or a 35 quid donation on money saved by not going

Source??

The police would want their fans in the ground, in their own end, not outside or in town, and not amounst the home fans.....

I'm sure Ken Brown knows what he's doing.

FCUM say they have only been offered 10%.

For me this is confirmed by the fact we are selling the East Stand to BHA fans.

then who decided they only get 10% BHA? the Police? the FA? have FCUNTS jumped to the ASSUMPTION its BHA?

A sort of Ruffians v 1901 then.
