You see them on TV, hear them on radio, read them in the papers, offering the same advice to diehards that ex-FA chairman Greg Dyke did on Sky after the Old Trafford pitch invasion: “The most effective means to take on the Glazers is don’t buy the season tickets. If 40,000 fans said we’re not going to buy season tickets this year then I think the owners would take notice very quickly.”
Sure they’d take notice. Of the tens of thousands desperate for those discarded season tickets, whether they live in Didsbury, Dagenham or Darjeeling, who would snap them up even if they could only use them twice a year.
It would be seen by the Florida Munsters as a result, as their new customers would be far easier to exploit. Goodbye legacy fans with all your heritage baggage. Hello the unquestioning merchandise-loving cash machines.
It also assumes there are 40,000 season ticket holders who agree with that relatively small group who took direct action on Sunday. Many would want nothing to do with the rebels and be happy to carry on under the Glazers so long as United were linked with buying Harry Kane in the next transfer window.
