Massive solidarity to the Manchester United fans who took direct action yesterday.
We saw what mass fan mobilisation could achieve with the scrapping of the European Super League and it’s great to see that momentum being carried forward.
Football in Britain has been completely taken over by finance capital; ticket prices have gone through the roof, as those in charge couldn’t give a f**k about the fans or teams that were for generations of massive importance to communities, towns and cities.
The game people love has been hijacked and big business now only cares about marketing a saleable product to those with money. Like everything else, it is something created by ordinary working people and now stolen off us by the rich.
Well done to those fighting back. at United and to the fans up and down the country who are sick of being taken for granted and want accountability and democratic control of the game.
It’s time for a movement that will bring football back to the people.
