What a beautiful way to describe a football family.
Programs £2.50 each OR two for a fiver? *What a great deal!*
one of the best deals of all time
even better, 3 for £7.50
bad to the appendix 10 for £25
better deal then Balotelli to Liverpool! Banter!
Emrah Takar lol
Imagine Man united vs FC United of Manchester in the FA cup.. It would be sick
Mightn't happen soon because at the moment I think FCUM are in the vase or trophy
And the half final would be man city fcum
+MrDarragh123456789 Any club in the top 11 tiers can play in the FA Cup. FC United have made the First Round proper on several occasions and got to the Second Round once. Shows how much you know about non league.
Jack Connor yeah i don't know much about non-league lol
It did happen in 2011
Come here after the European Super League's mess, you guys did the right thing in 2005❤️
Me too.
I'm a Liverpool fan and I like FCUM, because of what they stand for, anti owners, anti sky
You mustn't be a loyal Liverpool fan then..,
HAHA! Why? For liking a team that oppose ownership and Sky?
Fahy TT, being a fan and blind rage are different things
***** Regardless of fan affiliation, good to know we're admired the world over.
Same here
As a football fan I am sick of a game that is increasingly bloated by crazy money and totally warped perspectives and its features like this that remind me why I love the sport. Well done Copa90!
I never thought id say this but i think were so lucky in Ireland to have two two league where no-one in Ireland gives a fuck about including the fai . The premier division and the first division are leagues which are similar in quality to league two but facilities and grounds are like 70's football standards! I love it , give Galway United a follow on facebook , twitter , snapchat , Instagram there lads!
are you Ok?
say what you want, you'll be forever a secluded, nothing keyboard-moaner, and humans like Lewandowski / Suarez / Neymar will be part of Greatness
@@netweed09 Greatness is fleeting. Say what you want, you'll be forever a fan of plastic and these people will have football they can be proud of forever.
@@LordZontar Lol, calm yourself kid; I'm an Arsenal fan for over 25 years and for life and haven't seen a Major trophy for over 15 of those now.
Well, 'those' people can do what they want - but then Dortmund were once largely fan driven and so are Eibar and FC St Pauli and they're all the Top Divisions of their Leagues.
There's one thing being passionate, loyal and ambitious, and the other being a zealous partisan idiot nobody outfit
@@netweed09 And who says FCUM is an "idiot nobody outfit"? You? Because they're not big like Arsenal? And just what makes you passionate for Arsenal? What makes you live and die with the club even though it's floundering in the middle of the Premiership table and hasn't won major silverware in more than a decade? Well, that's why the FCUM fans are committed to their side, for the same emotional reasons. It doesn't matter that they're not in the top flight. It's the club they found a connection with. Same as you found your connection to the Gunners and will stick with them even if they fall through the lower divisions. Because they're your side, and a true supporter sticks with his side no matter what. I know what that's like. I grew up with a local NFL team that knew nothing but losing seasons year after year after year when nothing seemed to work. But they were my team and I stuck with them even through those appalling years of endless misery, of being the joke of the league, when four wins was considered a "good" season. And that's why you are committed to Arsenal and the FCUM fans are committed to their side. Once a team really hooks you in the heart, there's little else you can do.
I'm the, or one of the, New Zealand founder members and I'm proud of what FC United have become
I grew up in Manchester hating Man Utd but I absolutely love what they are doing at FC United of Manchester. What a great thing they've got. Makes my hairs stand up hearing that 'This is our club' chant. Great stuff.
Who is here after the ESL announcement? 👀
I'm a Liverpool fan, and got emotional watching this. So much passion. So much love for football. Done in the right way.
that little clip of the stand at @7:10 is a brilliant picture, what english football used to be, terraced stand packed to the brim, flags, chanting noise, and what do we have now, soulless stadiums where we're not allowed to sing, big respect to FCUM, even though im tottenham would love to come up and experience the atmosphere one day, get a proper old school feel which due to my age i never got, even though my family got it, jealous
I like that there is a bit more documentaries on english football storied now on copa90 than before when it was just loads of eastern european derbies that came about from politics
Henry Vernon That sums it up really
Henry Vernon those eastern european derbies, coming over here with their politics...
Fc are very political. Too far left for me though
to be able to their own ground without any investment from rich businessmen or the council, all from fan given donations is very impressive to be honest. Even when they were in the 10th tier of English football, most of the players had a song sung about them. To be playing at that level and having as many 6,000 singing your name must have been surreal
build*
few pointers there mate, they took out a massive loan from the council to build it and they get barely 2,000 anymore.
I think they rushed themselves into building that stadium
You hardly get 2000 let alone 6000 , see what Stockport county had done were the most supported football club in the non league except Tranmere , and scfc are in the league below them national league north !
Wrexham and Lincoln both get more than County.
A friendly against benfica? Fc United have come a long way in a short period.
Fantastic to watch this.
It was huge for them, annoyingly though it was Benfica's B team
Aidin Lauder Benfica's first team had a cup final game that day.
Aidin Lauder yes it was benficas b team that beat man citys b team
mikeyxbox it was benfica reserves we lost 1-0
Have a look at Salford city vs fc united next time they play... Best non-league derby
That will be a good game and atmosphere. So will when Stockport county play them, most of our fans despise fcum
Jake O'Hara Hardly a good atmosphere, Salford have very little fans and they had to steal half the players from a team in the league above to get promoted...
Ciaran Hughes You can't just frigging create a derby mate... Best non-league derby?!!!!! They haven't even played each other once yet so how does that constitute a derby? Or are you a Salford fan looking for a derby?
Doesn't come anywhere near Wrexham v Chester & I don't support either team.
Yeah Wrexham vs Chester is a proper non league derby
Beautiful film. Genuinely loved it. Football is for you and me not the fucking industry.
Gimlet Amen!
It's not for you m8
Sky stole the soul! This is proper football
Do a documentary on Hinckley AFC, used to be called Hinckley United but this absolute arsehole took over and made the club go in debt and eventually we folded 😔 but last year Hinckley AFC was created and in their first season they had a 26 game unbeaten run and a finished 3rd in their league, we also get about 200 fans each game which is great for our league because we are in the Midland League Division One. Thanks for reading....
I hope we'll see you guys down at one of our games soon.
Fair play Hinckley AFC!!
From an AFC Wimbledon supporter👍⚽️
Honestly Copa90, the editors and directors and the team of these sorta documentaries deserve much more credit than they're receiving. Huge credits to Copa, the editor of the documentary, the director and the rest of the team, keep it going guys, because we appreciate it.
I'm an American from Philadelphia, and I never really paid much attention to football. However, I've been on a huge COPA90 kick lately. The videos are really well made, capturing both personal perspective of the fans and the atmosphere at matches. COPA90 has made me a soccer (football) fan!
Football is nothing without fans. End of.
Bek houden jij
Relatable now
So refreshing to see a brand supporting a project that's giving REAL fans a platform to share REAL football stories - kudos Hyundai!
These are the lads from old trafford that cant afford to buy tickets all the time so they show there passion at fc united
Despite being a rival football supporter of Fc United (Chorley FC) I really do respect them. Great fan base!
Up the Magpies!
Massive Respect for these Lads!
These are real Fans not like these plastic gloryhunters from Mancity an ManU
Respect from Germany
BVB09
They're plastic fans kind of as they've stopped supporting man united becuase they didn't like the Glazers.
No because they like real football and not the buisness football ManU stands for
Zlatko Edgar Football is a business nowadays. The owners came in 2005 and they stopped supporting the club. Many fans now still don't like the Glazers but they still support the club that they grew up supporting
Yeah i can see youre point
In Germany all fans stand up together against these kind of clubs like RB Leipzig,Wolfsburg etc.
Andy Torreto Strange logic there. Id like to see you call these fans plastic to their face, especially the old school man united lot from 70s/80s, see what reaction you get.
Respect from Serbia, Partizan Belgrade fan! :)
Hello from Portugal
SL Benfica is with FC United of Manchester! Thanks for that ovation that you made to my club in your stadium.
You are real fans, like we are
I wish I lived in England:( so many different kinds of teams to support while here in the U.S. You have to go out of states to watch a decent match..
Rafael Garcia your fans are dreadful too
😂😂😂😂
Im lucky, I live in Atlanta so dont have to deal with the problem as we are one of the few to have a genuinely fantastic fanbase, where do you live?
@@cswess7256 respect from seattle brother us and toronto run this fucking league
You've got rounders and netball though played at elite level, stop complaining!
You didn't cover why this club was made and what they have against man united but great video anyway.
The club was made as a protest club against the glazers and modern football. Football clubs nowadays have ticket prices that working class people can't afford and owners who don't care about the fans. We don't hate Manchester United we hate the glazers. Two uniteds but the soul is one. You'll find that some FC fans still support man utd but won't give any money to the glazers.
Jacob Thomas What are glazers?
+enriqueDFTL United's owners. They're nobheads
Jacob Thomas but what bad have the glazers done?
fc grew to be one of my favourite clubs in a matter of minutes. went to visit just to check it off the bucket list and after buying a bucket hat from the shop they offered me a free tour around the ground. won't forget it 👌🏻
I remember when my local team played FC United and the fans are unreal xD Best Non League Supporters
VinnyHD e we are
greatest team in manchester (by a mile!)
This is true love about a football team.People nowadays only support teams like barca and real and bayern.But those people in the video really know what is true love and faith in a football team.These are very good fans.
My team, Hereford FC (formerly Hereford United FC) are going through something similar. It's more what AFC Wimbledon have done really but similar to FC United of Manchester in building a team from scratch and starting low in the league system.
I think we're giving you a bit of guidance along with AFC Wimbledon in terms of how to structure yourselves as a club. Fantastic to have a team with your history join the fan owned ranks, it's the future of football!
joshfcum Definitely. Look at German football and how everything over there is better in every way to British football. Portsmouth are also fan owned now and it's great that so many teams in England are proving how it can work very easily. Especially with financial fair play it will become a lot easier for us too!
***** Most fans of smaller teams support their local team (the smaller team) and a bigger team. It is not unusual. I'm also an Arsenal fan.
Come On You Bulls!
Thomas Draddy I know FFT. Decent magazine but I wouldn't read it tbh
this is real football
FC United of Manchester > MAN CITY
Haha true
That means fc United of Manchester are better than Man united as well
Cian OSullivan (R4WR) Man United won the most recent derby. So, no. You're logic is deniable.
sankara760 But Man City finished higher are you gonna say that Spurs are better than Chelsea because they won against them.
sankara760 Your logic is deniable winning one game doesn't make you better than a team. Are Juventus better than Real Madrid?
I'm an FCUM fan and it's the best experience ever standing In The terraces.
Great club and I have followed them since last season but I'm not from near Manchester I support a team called spennymoor town fc who are 2 leagues below this great non league club. Good luck this upcoming season to everyone at FC United of Manchester.
Its crazy how every Copa Story has the theme of family... Football is family, and its crazy to think of all the memories and how meaningless it is without others to celebrate and enjoy or cry or be ashamed with. Sometimes the only thing in life that brings clarity, for 90 mins its only one goal and thats it.
Cheers from Benfica!
They got promoted remember going to one of the games only cost me a pound great team great fans great club overall
This is a true club with true fans!!
Jon Davies Ye we are
One of the best examples of fan power in football. Man United became a glamorous brand rather than an honest club, you can't blame some of the fans for wanting their old united back, massive congratulations to everyone involved.
The best video so far on copa90 by me. Its was amazing to see FC United play like the old clubs on the 80s.
Brilliant video and brilliant team. It gives me some comfort to see at Least one football team who actually care about their fans an not just the money they take from them.
Good documentary, still not 100% convinced on how you can one day decide to stop supporting your team and create another one...
Prolix8 Circumstances, these fans don't like modern football and how the game of football has been developed into the business of football.
Prolix8 A couple of sleepless nights and then going with your conscience /wallett
It was less of a one day thing, it had started in the mid nineties when fans were told to sit down apart from in moments of excitement at an arsenal game. It caused a massive uproar and led to the formation of supporters groups like IMUSA and MUST. The slow decline in atmospheres, the increases in ticket prices, kick off times being moved at a minutes notice, sky's poisoning influence and the complete lack of relation to the players or the club, Glazer was just the straw that broke the camels back. It's a common misconception that everyone hates United at FC. That's not true, we just will never pay another penny to the glazers as we believe it's a penny more towards the money hungry businessmen who've taken over our game. We've got something that's ours, something that we are in control of. It's a scale, some will never support united again and believe United doing badly is better because it means less money for the glazers, some still are season ticket holders at OT and come to fc games for the atmosphere. Others like myself, and I believe the vast majority of fans, support United, want them to do well, but FC is our club now.
Prolix8 if you ever went to an FC match on a day that Utd were on the tv before or after kick off, you'd notice that the pubs are rammed, with people who still support Utd.
no one stopped supporting Utd, they just chose not to be a part of the disease that is modern 'top flight' football.
as the italians say, No Al Calcio Moderno.
all we need in this country is for the bubble to burst, just as it did in the once booming Serie A. then clubs will start treating people like fans again, and not customers. maybe.
I havent! 2 Uniteds 1 soul! #fcum #mufc #mufcum #luhg
FC United are due tonnes of respect. I can't see anywhere else achieving what they have. I have enjoyed watching them and Im an LUFC fan. I know Ill get ripped for mentioning that
We Are Leeds, Leeds, Leeds. Marching On Together!
Well said barry cooper,tons of respect to you mate
not trying to start an argument but at today's match they said Leeds were shit
These lads played a friendly against Detroit City FC (U.S./4th div.) last summer. It was an honor hosting such an inspiring club. My favorite club in Manchester!
Two Uniteds but The Soul is One.
I respect them as a club, but I will never stop supporting Manchester United. I couldn't do it. Has meant too much for too long.
In Germany this type of fan ownership is in the equivalent of The Championship.
The future of football is fans, the past belonged to the fans, and so should the present.
cool story bro
I watch FC every week and it's good to see 1000s of people learning about this club and and how its made by the fans
I bought the FC United of Manchester scarf at the store, because what you did is a beautiful fairy tale. I live in Italy and my team, SPAL has returned to Serie A after 49 years. I wish also to you power to go that far, because dreams never end ...
Man, memories here, used to go to every game as a kid when they still played at gigg lane, united! united! united!
Absolutely love this story! It's so refreshing to see a club succeed and grow with and because of their fans. Great work Copa90!!
Just realised that their kits are made by O'Neills from Ireland. Class!
great video copa, we need more of this back in the UK again. football for the real fans. it would be good if you made a video showing people how they can go about doing something like this in there own area.
Why is this only 10min? This should be an hour long movie
Not long enough
The only thing I don't get is why FCUM don't play with green and gold shirts.
Why would they?
PTS82 Because it's the colours of Newton Heath and the colours we wear against the glazers?
+Nordic Countries are the best the green and gold protest against the glazers didn't start until 2010, five years after the takeover and the formation of FC
PTS82 Yeah but still, this club was started as a protest against glazers and therefore I think their shirts should be green and gold.
+Nordic Countries are the best you don't understand, the colours green and gold weren't associated with glazer before 2010. They wanted to keep a "United" feel, red black and white
I bet all the plastic Man Utd fans don't even know what this club is
Uto
sam wood good lad wawaw
Elliot Power :D
True haha
WAWAW
Love this, Fcum 2nd best fan owned club behind the beloved Portsmouth of course, definitely some similarities in the atmosphere and family feel of the club
So proud that Benfica was part of that amazing event.
FC United chants are one of a kind too, they are bringing the true origin of football back to the game
its so mind refreshing to hear such stories
brings back hope !
FC UNITED of Manchester
a fan owned club !
Live near workington went to see them play against fc united. They brought up around 2500 fans to an evostik league game and they were as loud as any premier league club they look like a great club and good luck to them in the future
Gotta give a round of applause for workington, AFC Telford fan
Love the fan passion and I hope they continue too grow in the future. Also if they eventually climb the mountain and get to the upper tiers they do not forget the reason why the club was founded in the first place.
I went to a FCUM game once. Pretty good atmosphere, the team has great potential, can't wait to see them in 10 years!
Their fans were brilliant when they played away to Torquay in the FA trophy. Brilliant fans, we were very lucky to win that day as well!
I’m gonna support these guys now that Manchester united are joining the european super league. I’m done with these big corporates destroying football.
Fantastic club, was there when they brought about 1000 down to pokey little Stourbridge. Best of luck to them!
FCUM came to the States, a few years back. They played a friendly against my club (Detroit City FC). Wishing them all the success they deserve.
DCFC is one of the few organically made clubs here in the states, which is something we desperately need more of.
Love this club, close to my heart, supported them since they were founded and they have a better atmosphere then Manchester United
That guy at the end aha pulling out a cuppa halfway through a pint
Saw FC Manchester play Cammel Laird on Wirral as Tranmere fan . This was years ago. Played very well
Hate Manchester United & City, but if i lived locally could easily see myself going along to see these guys, grassroots footballs where its at, where it's still about the football and the fans, not just about the money. I wish the Prem could be more like this, with more fan owned teams, instead of foreign investors that don't give a fuck about the history or meaning of the club just there own profits.
And before anyone tells me that it's not possible, just look at the Bundesliga where most of the clubs (who are outperforming ours in Europe as of recent) are completely fan owned, their terraces are full of impassioned fans because they have a real say in their clubs making them feel more connected and just makes a nicer vibe
Mad respect for these guys (Bolton fan)
This shows how football can change lives FCUM❤️❤️❤️
Historic day for FCUM... This Benfica's B team had Diogo Gonçalves and João Carvalho, whom are now in the first team. GL Fc United
That old guy at the end is brill respect from a ycfc fan.
And there is the passion and love that made football
Next year second clothes of Unionistas de Salamanca, Spanish team, will be a tribute of this team. Supporting from Spain
"We're pieces of a jigsaw that don't fit into anyone else's puzzle"
Amazing
My mate is a fan of these, he goes to every game home and away
all about the easter egg at the end - love it
Love the ideals of this club
-Arsenal fan
My home team, Boston United, will be playing these next season it will be a great game
From Indonesia for FCUM.. LUHG!!!!
COOOOOOOOL!!!!!!
I hope there are more episodes of this
very great management they had... can make club just based on supporter at the very beginning
I train at the astro pitch next to fc united u can hear the chants when they're having games its amazing.
WHEN Millwall visits your little club and ground in a FA cup game,
we make sure, you never forget us MILLWALL !
It will be an unforgetable day !!! x
more clubs like these pls !
Huge respect from a Red Star fan.
seriously considering getting a season ticket at FC and not renewing my one at MUFC after the everything with the european superleague.
Clubs from the UK really have to get Ultrás - it could get insane.
Nah, we like our football English.
Glory Glory United....
This is truly grassroots football,well done everyone at FCUM!
My team Whitby Town FC played FCUM there was 800 people there and our stadium only holds 600!
Pure passion
good on ya wish more would come and watch your team
As a Manchester City FC fan I am so, so happy to hear that ***** is also a City fan.
100% originality in the name lol
All credit to these lads though
Absolutely great story and will see a match once in England
