Last month, The 1958, a Manchester United fans group announced their intent to protest at United’s home fixture against Arsenal on 9th March 2025.
With the fixture coming up this weekend it’s no surprise that another announcement has been made leading up to the event.
The main basis of the protest was outlined in their initial announcement, saying: “We all know the root cause, we have always known the elephant in the room. Yet, this isn’t being addressed.”
The group continued: “It’s those who can least afford it, have the most emotional connection with our club who are being asked to pay the price in more ways than one.
“Trampling over generational support and memories of friends and family who handed the club over to us like something they have stepped in.
“- The treatment of fans from the club
“- The eradication of fan culture
“- The assault on concessions and generational fans
“- Putting profit before fan safety
“- Putting profit before everything
“- The total lack of communication and transparency
“- The uncertainty of our clubs future
“The club preach fan engagement the reality is they dont practice it. We know this first hand and have evidence.”
Now, The 1958 have issued a new announcement.
