Turn up and support your team
Last updated 11:27, Saturday, 04 October 2008
THE word is out that some fans are planning to swerve United’s maiden trip to Milton Keynes Dons next Saturday because they can’t bear to spend a single farthing at the home of the unloved franchise club who stole Wimbledon’s clothes.
If that’s their real reason for not showing – and not the more basic deterrents such as the cost of another demanding away day in financially traumatic times, and the fact the game is being shown live on Sky – they should be urged to consider the following equation.
Boycotting a morally dubious but wealthy football club might feel noble, but it won’t really achieve anything. Turning up and supporting your own team will.
