An open letter to Sir Jim Ratcliffe on ticket pricing and policies Read the full letter here: imust.org.uk/Blog/Entry/an-… Also to follow in thread below ... #MUFC

£Millions saved for our fans over the years. A campaign by Premier League Trusts, and some other club groups, and led by @WeAreTheFSA that delivered real benefits for our fans, and still does today. Great news to see it continue

The death of Phil Woolas is very very sad. Heartfelt condolences to his wife Tracey Allen & son Josh. I first met Phil when he was producer at C4 News late '80s, and he also worked on Newsnight. Later was an astute & instinctive political operator; superb campaigner for GMB.

Club want fans to turn up earlier. @chrisrumfitt suggested keeping the discount up to 30mins before KO at the Fans Forum meeting yesterday to encourage this. Club have agreed and implemented already. A small win perhaps but part of a positive pattern recently.

Family Stand ST renewal prices: thanks to all who have got in touch. There’s huge inconsistency & I’ve been in regular contact with the club to tell them it’s unacceptable and the comms this season & last, have been poor. I’ll keep you updated as it remains unclear. Cheers Dave

Huge thank you to @MU_ST @mufcfoodbank and all the fans who supported us last weekend They donated an incredible £645 and 27kg of food 🫶 This will make such a difference to those in need in our community 💚 #endinghungertogether #MUFC

All good wishes to my pal, former Utd winger John Aston who's poorly at the moment. Man of the match in the 68 European Cup Final you know, ran rings round Benfica defenders all night 🍷

The Football Supporters’ Association (@WeAreTheFSA) is right to challenge the current trajectory of home ticket prices. As Thomas Concannon, the Premier League network manager for the FSA, states in the BBC report, these figures are not fair for fans. The FSA is calling for a league-wide ruling on home ticket prices to protect supporters and maintain a more competitive league. Concannon emphasises the need for clubs to engage in transparent discussions with fans to understand the impact of rising costs and find collaborative solutions. While the exact mechanism for reform is complex, one potential avenue is a policy that excludes match-day revenue from the measure of club affordability. Removing this financial incentive for clubs to maximise revenue from their own supporters could prevent fans from enduring these constant price increases. You could even say it makes things fairer, so a club with a 60,000 capacity won’t have an advantage over a club with a 12,000 capacity. While PSR is being replaced by the Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) starting in the 2026/27 season, the core problem still remains: clubs are incentivised to drive up revenue to increase their spending power. New Spending Caps: Under the 2026/27 SCR rules, clubs outside Europe can spend only 85% of their football-related revenue on squad costs (wages, transfers, and agent fees). Revenue as a Driver: Because "matchday receipts" are explicitly included in the "Adjusted Revenue Base" that sets this spending ceiling, every extra pound squeezed from a fan directly increases what a club can spend on players. Current Exemptions: The new rules already exclude costs for infrastructure, women's football, and academies. Supporters' groups are effectively arguing that fan-facing revenue should also be treated differently, decoupling ticket prices from on-pitch spending power. #StopExploitingLoyalty ref: bbc.co.uk/sport/articles…

This is not about politics; it is about ensuring that the custodians of Manchester United act in a way that unites supporters rather than marginalising any part of our fanbase.

Manchester United belongs to all of its supporters. No fan should feel excluded from following or supporting the club because of their race, religion, nationality or background. Comments from the club’s senior leadership should make inclusion easier, not harder.
