From BBC Sport: The new football club set up by disillusioned Manchester United fans has been accepted into the North West Counties League for next season.
A review of the ‘loyalty pot’ has taken place to establish how many supporters will be upgraded for the forthcoming season. It has been agreed the ‘loyalty pot’ will be capped at its original figure of 1,458 and therefore only a small number of places were available.
The Times: MANCHESTER UNITED ticket prices are to rise by 54 per cent within five years, under plans by Malcolm Glazer, the club’s new owner, to boost club revenues to £246 million by 2010.
Ultimately, unfair as it may seem, Malcolm Glazer’s fate will not be decided by Manchester United shareholders, hooded education committees, independent supporters or Tony Lloyd, MP for Manchester Central.
