Much has been made of new MUFC co-owner Jim Ratcliffe’s Failsworth roots but across Manchester hundreds of people have been owning their own football club for nearly two decades and, in the process, are changing the way we think about football club ownership @DTathletic

4K Followers 724 Following Wanderers, el fútbol del pueblo | Espacio independiente comprometido con el fútbol más social y popular | #FútbolPopular | Estamos en Facebook, iVoox y YoutubeChris travelled with his mate Paul to #MUFC games in the 80's, going home and away. They were later joined by young Reds Jamie and Daz. They were all in Rotterdam '91 together, the absolute pinnacle for Reds of that era.
Chris started going to matches fairly regularly in the 70's. The greatest player he ever saw was Bestie. Other favourites of the era were Coppell, Pancho and Big Jim Holton. Chris was there (Sheffield again!) when Holton broke his leg in the famous 4-4 draw.
Then in 1962, Chris was lucky enough to see his first #MUFC game away at Sheffield, with a lift from a neighbour. Recent record signing Denis Law played, and he went on to become an absolute football idol to Chris.
Amazingly in January 1959 the team stopped at Chris' home town en route to a cup tie at Norwich City. Chris only managed to catch a glimpse of the team coach as it passed by the top of his street unfortunately.
Like many football-crazed lads up and down the country during the 50's, Chris loved the attacking flair of the Busby Babes. The main media of the day were Football Monthly magazines and radio commentary.
Chris was born in #Lincolnshire in 1948, a year that also marked probably the greatest moment in United's 70-year history at the time, a famous Cup Final victory. Matt Busby's first trophy.
A great friend of mine has decided to give up his #MUFC season ticket in May after 40-odd years. Chris has missed very few matches at Old Trafford over the past 4 decades. He'll be a bit embarrassed by this thread, but I reckon he deserves some recognition for his dedication.
@LizMcInnes60 @LindsayHoyle_MP speaker has latitude to allow PMQs to continue, he called Ed Davey and I think others who were not on order paper, he has said before (very recently) that he’s happy to ditch precedent, esp on issue of MPs security, no-one could have objected to him calling DA, excuses don’t wash

What was striking about the film, was how it showed a family and institution completely detached from the rest of the country. Irrelevant, weird, expensive and pointless. #AbolishTheMonarchy #NotMyKing
🧵🧵 Tonight's 'Charles III: The Coronation Year' documentary is an attempt by the BBC to shamelessly promote the Royals. It's produced by a staunch royalist and probably won't mention the growing opposition to the Monarchy's undemocratic role as our Head of State.
