Whilst cleaning up/re-organising the flat, I found this. Seems a very long time ago.
United, not for sale! United, United, not for sale!

Reds in Amsterdam (Pt. 2)
Apparently there was a small amount of mither in the city on Wednesday, but for some, particularly this fan, Ajax and United go together like Malt Loaf and Butter.

Another quick sticker. Molotow paint markers. Now on the fridge at CYCMs. Even with the recent news about the PIK and the Glazers potentially digging into their own pockets (I wont hold my breath), Im pretty sure the LUHG will remain valid…

And the thing is still there! Was back down in Munich earlier this year to watch St Pauli play 1860 Munich (awful match, St Pauli lost and played woefully). The seats at the Allianz Arena are littered with stickers from whoever happened to play there the previous week (in this case, Rostock unfortunately). The LUHG sticker was however still there!

A more recent big United sticker, encouraging season ticket holders to not renew at Old Trafford, in order to force the Glazers out. A fine effort in terms of sticker design and intent. Season tickets are at the time of speaking still on general sale, so perhaps the campaign worked to an extent

Spotted at the Allianz Arena (home of Bayern Munich…ok and 1860). The LUHG are probably the most famous English football fan stickers to date. The game was Bayern versus Werder Bremen (final score 1-1). Manchester United had recently played Bayern there in a pre-season friendly, hence I would assume the sticker. More on LUHG on the link below…
FCUM A.D. Established 2009. Yeah, I know what you are thinking, FC United of Manchester was established in 2005, not 2009. Well here Im talking about FCUM A.D., that is a blog (the very blog you are currently clicking about on) and some (but not all) of the activities documented within.
Whats it all about? Getting off your arse and doing something. Not watching the match in the pub, not even just turning up once in a while to the ground, but dedicating time to pushing things on a notch. Whether its knocking out fanzines, running radio shows, producing banners and choreos for matches or running around town late at night making the walls and lampposts look prettier with football club related stickers, paste ups, graffitis or tags.
The A.D. is short for Art Department, thats vague enough to incorporate plenty. This blog started out concentrating just on the stickers and streetart bit, but it likes to cover other things too. As the Germans would say "blick über den Tellerrand". Is it all Grade A? Probably not, but as Minor Threat sang "You tell me that I make no difference. At least I'm fuckin' trying. What the fuck have you done?" :-D
