Man United’s fan group reveals banner protest for Manchester derby
The Red Army will make their views known by removing their regular flag display
Manchester United supporters' group, the Red Army, has announced their protest plans for Sunday's Manchester derby. The group will refrain from displaying flags at the Stretford End, replacing them with a single banner in the players' tunnel. This banner will read, "The way you treat us is a disgrace." The Red Army asserts that this message is not exclusive to Manchester United, but rather a cry for recognition from all genuine fans affected by the club's recent actions.
They emphasize the importance of prioritizing match-going supporters in the club's fan engagement process. The Red Army calls for a drastic change to address the league-wide crisis of ticket touting. Following the club's investigation, 685 season tickets have been banned, and 464 supporters received warnings or sanctions. The investigation identified 1,617 accounts requiring further review due to unusual activity.
Some fans have responded to the ban fiasco, calling for unity against the "season ticket ban fiasco" before the derby, stating that a line has been crossed.
