Manchester...so much to answer for..

10 years ago today, The IRA blow up the largest bomb on mainland Britain since the war in Manchester. Whilst there was many injuries, no one was killed. Since that day, the city has gone through great change, some for the better some not. But one thing that stood out was the spirit of the Manchester people to say "Fuck you, you may have blown our city centre to pieces, but you will never beat us, we will rise" (Well maybe no-one apart from Alan Partridge will probably have said that, but you get my drift), but that is the one great thing about our city, you can do as you like, but if you try to take the piss, you will lose. Simple as.
From the reformists at Peterloo, to Pankhurst, through to the IRA bomb and the Glazer takeover, the spirit of Manchester has always been to fight for what you believe to be right, not to give in, to stand up and be counted. FC United and the continued fight for United is further proof of that.
So be proud of what you are doing. In fact a quote that I saw on Red Issue this morning sums it up perfectly
"Manchester has always been a bit of a revolutionary place and FCUM is just another step in the History of Manchester and how the people in Manchester will only be pushed around so far before they start pushing back."
Come the day people.....come the day............
