The Black Parade: United Fans Go Dark on Arsenal Day…
Manchester United’s supporter group, The 1958, has a peculiar but fashionable request: fans, show up decked out in black, and no, it’s not for a goth music festival. It’s a protest parade before the Arsenal game, symbolizing how United is “slowly dying.”
The 1958 has been on a roll lately, organizing protests faster than you can say “ticket hike.” Apparently, when match tickets are up to £66 and don’t even spare kids or pensioners, fans might as well be attending a posh dinner in Mayfair. Understandably, they’re a tad annoyed.
As if high prices weren’t enough to make Sir Alex cough up his curry, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has become about as popular as a Red Devil at an Arsenal party, thanks to some charming comments comparing United’s ticket prices to Fulham’s.
With The 1958 rallying the troops, epic scenes are expected at Sunday’s masquerade of black attire. United’s financial state is bleak, with debts higher than a morning hangover after a derby win.
So, if you spot fans lurking like ninjas this weekend, know that The 1958 protest group means business. They’re not just another seat filler; they are the heartbeat wanting a better future for the club!
