Cambridge United had a "Fans United Day" only today as it happens and there was quite a turnout from other teams supporters, such as Sunderland, Norwich City, Peterborough United, West Ham United, Arsenal, Wrexham, Lincoln City, Brighton, plus a few others.
Wrexham's fans were in abundance as their plight is still ongoing ? I have to take my hat off to those guys who travelled all that distance to show support for fans united at Cambridge today.
At half time there was a photo call for the supporters of other teams to go on the pitch for the local newspaper, and I estimated there to be about 300 or so from various clubs around the country, it became quite an emotional event as the applause for these supporters lasted for about five minutes.
It was a fantastic day organised by CFU, so hats off to them, it is to early to know how much money was raised, but I suppose we will be informed in due course.
Good luck to Bury....
May I suggest that you make the plight known by posting here, here and here if you haven't already |
