Fan Coalition 58 FC58
The Greatest Club in the World
NEEDS
the Greatest Fan Representation
in the World
This year we received an unprecedented mandate to represent our fanbase in matters of great importance. We are not going to let you down.
Whilst we closely monitor the potential for Sir Jim to remove the Glazers from the club, we will create the organisation to forcibly make it happen if that is necessary.
Currently everyone is in a state of limbo and it’s pragmatic to let things play out and run a natural course.
However, we see this as a window of opportunity and a lot of works been going on behind the scenes. We have not been sitting idle.
Today we announce the creation of FC58 an alternative supporters collective and representation. A true independent fan coalition.
This will be the largest, active, passionate and independent fan coalition on the planet.
This is founded on our values, credibility and integrity we have built from nothing and doing the right thing for our club and fanbase, no matter what the consequences.
The demands of our supporters that are in the best interests of everything Sir Matt Busby created, will no longer be ignored, patronised or silenced.
This will be outlined in our Supporters Charter of what we stand for and represent, which hasn’t taken us 18 years to release.
Further details will be released outlining all the information over the comings weeks.
We have big plans. We have big ambitions. We will succeed.
Stay tuned and follow our new website for how you can get involved.

**THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE SALOON**
Our club have acted from day one as though the new stadium is already a done deal.
Surveys built around theoretical scenarios, diluting the voices of the very people who fill Old Trafford and have devoted their lives to this club.
There is a rot, a decay, a sense of hopelessness all due to the Glazers and Ratcliffe. They have sucked the life and dignity out of our club.
**Make no mistake. We are at a crossroads**
Act now or wave goodbye to the Manchester United you once knew.
Over the coming weeks, we will lay out clear plans. Plans that demand **ACTION**
And those actions will be down to **YOU, the fanbase.**
Not The 1958. Not another supporters' group. Not somebody else.
**YOU**
You might not like us. You might think we should smash the place up or somehow empty a 75,000 seat stadium.
We don't care what you think of us. It's all irrelevant.
This is bigger than The 1958. Bigger than egos, personalities and petty differences.
**Get behind the action or STFU when the club tramples all over you.**
Stop waiting for somebody else to fight your battles.
Because if we sit back and everything we've warned about becomes reality, don't start complaining that nobody did anything.
**You were warned. You had a choice.**
The plans will be crystal clear. The actions will be crystal clear.
The question is whether enough Reds give a shit to follow through.
**More to follow. Get your notifications on.**

🗣️BROTHERS FOR LIFE & WHATS NEXT
We would like to thank Shabs for giving everything for our club and our fan culture.
We are brothers for life. A bond that can never be broken.
We made the decision to put a public face to The 1958 knowing full well there would be attacks onliwere prepared for it.
What followed went way beyond that.
Full on abuse. Personal attacks. Constant shit aimed at an individual because he stood up and put his face above the parapet.
No matter how thick skinned you are, that has an effect.
Our friends at TRA have suffered similar abuse and have pulled their online presence, abuse also aimed at other good, hardworking people across our fan groups. We are not naming names here.
Frankly, it’s getting fucking ridiculous.
We once had one of the most revered and respected fanbases in Europe.
Look at us now.
Too often we reflect the very ownership we despise. Toxic. Rotten. Fickle.
If we’re ever going to fix that, it starts with acceptance.
Then honesty.
Then supporting each other.
There are accounts on here that simply aren’t worth a fuck. We won’t waste another ounce of energy on them.
And we will NOT be putting another individual in the firing line.
Instead, we’ll take it back to the streets and continue building the relationships and connections we’ve spent years developing.
None of this is easy.
You need an unbreakable resolve and good, honest people around you to keep getting back up and moving forward.
OTHER AVENUES
We are also considering building an online network of accounts and people we believe are credible, honest and authentic.
Because without trust you have fuck all.
And without trust you cannot make progress.
More on that soon.
And remember this.
We are all human.
Mental health and wellbeing are real. The fact you’re typing into a phone rather than standing face to face looking somebody in the eyes doesn’t change that.
This fanbase needs healing.
It needs picking up off the floor.
So, have a listen carefully and have a play. This and what we do next should tell you everything you need to know about who we are as a group and, more importantly, who we are as individuals, our characters and our conviction.

Our thoughts on the City scandal, have a listen.
And Mr Burnham and his ministers have some serious explaining to do around their recent comments.
It may also go some way to explaining why our numerous letters and requests about our own stadium financing 🤷♂️
Plenty of questions. Very few answers.

We tried contacting you @andyburnham during the Stadium Task Force process, as well as Trafford Council. We never received the courtesy of a reply. We also know people have spoken to you directly about The 1958. This was the letter we published at the time, reflecting the rce was formed.
Will you engage with us in your new role, and with other independent fan groups we work alongside across the country, about protecting the future of our game, the loyalty of generational supporters and the communities our clubs represent?
Actions speak louder than words, football fans across the country are tired of platitudes.
Supporters should be rewarded for their loyalty, NOT exploited.

🗣️WITHOUT TRUST, YOU HAVE NOTHING.
For 12 months we have worked relentlessly for a more unified fanbase across key groups and across club boundaries.
It has been beyond frustrating at times, but we keep moving forward because the bigger picture matters.
But unity does not mean abandoning your principles.
What we will NEVER tolerate is a breach of confidence or anything that compromises our integrity, individually or collectively.
We have seen private group chats screenshotted and shared before. Private conversations leaked. All for a bit of attention and a “look at me” clout chase. Not our kind of people.
You know who you are.
We make absolutely no apologies for calling it out, this has been our approach since we formed.
Its all on our timeline from day one so it should come as no surprise.
Unity requires trust.
Trust requires integrity.
And without either, you have fuck all.
Finally, for those giving constant personal abuse to people who have given their own time, energy and money for nothing in return says a lot more about you than anything else.
Carry on chatting shit with “You’ve been paid off by the Glazers” and all the other bollocks.
We are but 20 lads (19 now) who have done nothing but give 100% and a voice for fans.
Many decent honest lads are being driven away, not by the Glazers or INEOS but by our own kind.
We are not each others enemy and many seem to have lost sight of that.
The last couple of days have been a massive win for the club and the Glazers. Well done to all involved.
The fight continues (maybe)

🗣️WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
To every Red who turned up yesterday, thank you.
You gave your time, your voice and your support. Nobody at The 1958 takes that for granted. Whatever this club does to eradicate the time served match going Red. You know you have been on the right ill continue the fight on all fronts.
Protecting the culture. Protect the traditions. Protect the matchgoing fan. Protect what is left for the next generation.
We will continue to protest against the way STH and match going Reds have been treated. The club simply can’t get away with this level of bullying again.
We’ll continue to work with and strengthen the unified fan group agreement.
We’ll continue to push for greater power and influence for match going fans within the Fans Forum and how this can be elevated by the incoming IFR.
So, where do we go from here?
That’s something we’ll decide together over the next few weeks.

Unlike the sugar coated press release from the Glazer enablers, this does represent the views of genuine United fans.
All flags will be removed from the Stretford End against #MCFC at Old Trafford today and replaced with a single banner that reads: “THE WAY YOU TREAT US IS A DISGRACE”
Extraordinary move that reveals the extent of the upset & anger among matchgoing #MUFC fans over club’s handling of the anti-ticket touting crackdown.

Spot on. We are in full support 🤝
On Sunday there will be no flag display on The Stretford End. In its place, a single banner will hang above the players’ tunnel with a clear message to the owners, directors and decision-making staff at Manchester United:
“THE WAY YOU TREAT US IS A DISGRACE”
This isn’t a ‘TRA’ on behalf of every genuine fan group, match-going supporter, supporters’ club and fan representative who has either contacted us directly or been negatively impacted by the recent behaviour of The Club. It’s an honest, heartfelt cry for recognition from the maligned, vilified, and misrepresented beating heart of our football club – the generational match-going supporters.
Neither is this solely a ‘Manchester United’ problem, this is a league-wide crisis that should be addressed at every club, regardless of rivalries and history. Without drastic changes, there will be no rivalries in the future vision for football shared by the decision makers.
Whilst we still advocate for a change in ownership, we believe that there should be a realistic roadmap for any protest if it is to act as a catalyst for change.
Match-going supporters should be prioritised over all others within the Club’s Fan Engagement model and all aspects of the Fans’ Forum process should be reviewed & improved to ensure that its fit for purpose. Dedicated fan representation that engages openly and regularly with the match-going supporters and proactively fights to ensure that they are treated as a priority by The Club is essential. Unless our generational match-going support is given a real voice that is actually listened to, the little that remains of our fan culture will soon be gone forever.
TRA aren’t a protest group, we’re an ‘atmosphere’ group but we’ve never shied away from making our position clear when we believe not doing so would be to the detriment of the interests of match-going supporters. We hope that you’ll understand and support our decision and that those of you who are asking for meaningful change and are able to help will stand up and be counted when called upon in the near future.
Until then, we’ll continue to fully back and support the players and manager throughout, starting with the derby on Sunday.

🗣️THE WARNINGS AND THE TRUTH
Four years ago we warned where this was heading.
We warned about the marginalisation and eradication of generational match-going Reds. Nobody listened.
We warned about the Americanisation of our game. Nobody cared.
We warned that if Ratcliffe , he’d become another Glazer in all but name.
Polls said give him more time.
So we did.
We even postponed a protest at Arsenal because fans wanted to give him more time. Again we got abuse.
That decision demotivated lads in The 1958 who have sacrificed years of their lives, time, money and energy fighting for this fanbase and never asked for a thing in return. Some lads had personal abuse. Not after sympathy, those are the facts.
We never asked for nothing in return. We always preferred to be pissing from the outside in. Stood shoulder to shoulder with you.
We have banged on about unity since day one.
And for the last 12 months we have spent an unbelievable amount of time trying to make it happen.
Meetings
Calls
Messages
Statements
Campaigns
Endless frustration
Meanwhile some fans wanted to be edgy.
Some said it wasn’t their fight.
Some thought it would never affect them.
Well look around now.
Ticket prices.
Season Ticket sanctions.
Long standing Reds treated like suspects.
Time served Reds receiving banning orders.
Concessions disappearing.
More hospitality.
More premiumisation.
A future built around revenue, not supporters.
The chickens have come home to roost.
We take no pleasure in saying it, but we have got far more right than wrong.
And we wish we hadn’t.
This was never about being proved right.
It was about stopping it before it happened.
So now the question is simple.
Are you finally United around what we have been warning about since the day we formed?
Wake up and smell the coffee.
This is your Club.
This is your fight all generations all ages.
Are you with us, or against us?
Time is running out fast.
STAND BY.

We warned about the marginalisation and eradication of generational match-going Reds. Nobody listened.
We warned about the Americanisation of our game. Nobody cared.
We warned that if Ratcliffe , he’d become another Glazer in all but name.
Polls said give him more time.
So we did.
We even postponed a protest at Arsenal because fans wanted to give him more time. Again we got abuse.
That decision demotivated lads in The 1958 who have sacrificed years of their lives, time, money and energy fighting for this fanbase and never asked for a thing in return. Some lads had personal abuse. Not after sympathy, those are the facts.
We never asked for nothing in return. We always preferred to be pissing from the outside in. Stood shoulder to shoulder with you.
We have banged on about unity since day one.
And for the last 12 months we have spent an unbelievable amount of time trying to make it happen.
Meetings
Calls

Statements
Campaigns
Endless frustration
Meanwhile some fans wanted to be edgy.
Some said it wasn’t their fight.
Some thought it would never affect them.
Well look around now.
Ticket prices.
Season Ticket sanctions.
Long standing Reds treated like suspects.
Time served Reds receiving banning orders.
Concessions disappearing.
More hospitality.
More premiumisation.
A future built around revenue, not supporters.
The chickens have come home to roost.
We take no pleasure in saying it, but we have got far more right than wrong.
And we wish we hadn’t.
This was never about being proved right.
It was about stopping it before it happened.
So now the question is simple.
Are you finally United around what we have been warning about since the day we formed?
Wake up and smell the coffee.
This is your Club.
This is your fight all generations all ages.
Are you with us, or against us?
Time is running out fast.
STAND BY.

POWER. MONEY. GREED.
Everton today. Different clubs. Same disease.
Football is being stripped from the people who built it and repackaged for those who can pay the most.
Higher prices. Corporate seats. Loyal matchgoers marginalised. Generations pushed aside.
The badge may n’t.
Football belongs to the fans.
