#MUFC offered to host FA Youth Cup final at Old Trafford, with #MCFC unable to schedule at Etihad. City declined, insisting on 7,000-capacity Joie Stadium. Major disappointment at missed opportunity for similar scenes to 2022 final when 67,000 attended ⬇️

Statement from MUST and fan reps on @ManUtd Fans Forum re Youth Cup final venue. Call decision 'a disgrace'. "The news that the FA Youth Cup Final, a great fixture which has heralded so many superstars of the future, is to be played in a stadium of just 6,000 people is a disgrace. Last time United were in the final we had 67,000 fans in Old Trafford so allowing this massive game to be played in front of such a paltry few fans is letting down supporters and denying these young footballers the biggest night of their careers so far. The FA needs to step in and ensure the game can be played at either the Etihad or Old Trafford. Time to put fans first for once."
@jon_89g@FBAwayDays@mufcaways_ 74 years of paying for a season ticket and food & drink in concourse so however much £ to the club, to be thrown out their seat for tourists….
These guys have been in these seats for donkeys years. They are all getting moved so they can sell their seats as hospitality next season. Football is not for the fans.
