------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- [24] How YOU can help US to help YOU again! --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: We'll keep this short as we know some tire of our long requests. The simple fact of the matter is that though this is a free United news service, we CAN'T SURVIVE without covering costs, let alone hoping to develop, grow and update one day! We hope you like what we pride ourselves on being one of the best - continually updated by a team of volunteers and contributors - news sites for United news on the net. As well of course as the longest serving Utd fanzine (now 19 years old! scary!). But unless YOU help US Red News will not survive. RN wishes everything ran on free air, trust us we do. But it doesn't. And we can't. We NEED YOUR HELP to survive. To keep providing this news day in, day out and producing our main focus - the fanzine. We're not after a major amount, not a pint of your blood, less in fact than a pint of beer costs a month. Ideally we'd like you to take out a subscription if you can't buy the mag at OT. £25 for a years mag AND free web news to boot. That is very cheap. But buying a mag, or using our sponsors (at the bottom of the page) helps. We are not joking, our survival depends on you. We had online hits from over 60 countries recently. But subscribers in only 12 of those. That's not a moan at our foreign readership, we realise there are difficulties, we realise too that home or abroad people will just look away now. But please take these appeals seriously. Hits on this site (where we don't get a penny for) far, far outweigh fanzine readers - roughly 50:1 But without some of you supporting it isn't an idle warning to say the fanzine - and the website - can't continue. One simple question - if we weren't around, of course you'll get United news, but do you think it would be as substantial as RN provides - EVERY DAY? YOU would miss out. And so would we... We love the way some of you interact with the fanzine, and site, sending e.mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], contributing, sending gossip, stories, info and helping with appeals. Thanks to all our loyal supporters. Who continue to stand by us. And it's never too join in or too late to help us! If you do want us to survive, please try and do you bit, every little helps, nothing is too small an effort, and please understand why we have to continually ask as we run a growing 365 a day news website news and forum service, and fanzine, especially as more and more people use this site. We are a very - and we mean very - small operation (with hopefully a loud voice!), not run from any headquarters, but just a bunch of United supporters hopefully providing news and comment and giving our readers a voice. 100% Independent. 100% Unofficial.

Just 48 hours after the Reds clinched the Manchester Senior Cup, Villa slipped to a 2-1 home defeat to make United the first team in history to retain the Reserve League title. United will now face Tottenham next week in the National Reserve League Playoff. . The champions' final league fixture is against Liverpool on Sunday. The game, which kicks off at 1pm, will be shown live from the Racecourse Ground on MUTV.' from Pete our reserve reporter 'Aston Villa lost at home tonight and so Manchester United are CHAMPIONS of the FA Premier Reserve League (North). As some of you may know the Reserve team is my great love and so I'm thrilled to bits. My dad will be having a pint in heaven as we speak and celebrating. He introduced me to the Reserves when we had little money and he couldn't go to many away matches. For that, as for everything in my Red life, I give him my love and my thanks. Keep the faith, Peter ' and this comment from RN reader Robert 'You could do a lot worse than reprint the Red 11.org article on David Jones-see http://red11.org/mufc/NewsViewerItem.do?newsdate=1145987525097 http://red11.org/mufc/NewsViewerItem.do?newsdate=1145987525097 -and go further--it is almost negligent that Jones/Jones/Bardsley/Spector/Rossi/Pique/Eagles have not been given the opportunities they deserve--so much for the vaunted and hypocritically-exaggerated youth policy---O'Shea was the last to come through and his position looks precarious--or you can print this if you want!' --------------------------------- [22] More Sportinglife on Danny Wallace --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: 'Former Manchester United winger Danny Wallace does not believe his former club will be able to delay Chelsea's Premiership title party. The reigning champions need just a point from Saturday's Stamford Bridge clash with Sir Alex Ferguson's side to make sure the in-form Red Devils will finish behind them. And Wallace, who had a four-year spell with United after a £1.2million move from Southampton in 1989, is convinced Jose Mourinho's side will achieve exactly that to enable the celebrations to begin at their opponents' expense. He said: "For United it has been a poor season. Their fans want them to win two or three trophies a season but they have won just the Carling Cup, although I suppose one is better than nothing. "The one they wanted and they won't get is the Premiership. Chelsea have definitely secured that and have been the best team for a long time. It will be a definite draw on Saturday." United fans will be pinning their hopes on Wayne Rooney producing a match-winning display, just as England supporters will soon be doing in the World Cup finals. Unsurprisingly, Wallace is a big fan of the 20-year-old, who has 21 goals to his name already this season. He said: "A lot of people have been building him up as the key player in the World Cup but he is still only a kid so it will be a lot of pressure for him. "But the season he has had has been so good he should be able to handle it. I would pick him as my player of the year, although my daughter likes John Terry." Wallace was a flying winger before his career was cut short in the mid-nineties when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a condition that means he now has difficulty walking let alone running. Nevertheless the 42-year-old, who made a single England appearance in 1986, was determined to raise awareness of MS by completing the London Marathon. While most competitors completed the 26-mile course on Sunday, the grandfather-of-one had to be content with a more sedate pace with plenty of rest stops. By midweek he had reached the 17-mile mark and was hopeful of arriving at the finishing line round about the same time as the Chelsea match. Looking back Wallace insists he has nothing but happy memories from his football career. Wallace said: "I had 15 great years of first-class football. I played for England - and scored one goal on my debut - and I won a few medals as well. I had a good career so I can't complain." Wallace, who famously played alongside younger brothers Rod and Ray for Southampton before leaving for Old Trafford, helped Ferguson to his first trophy at the United helm, the 1990 FA Cup. But while the veteran Scot went on to amass an enviable silverware collection, Wallace's own career was affected as MS took hold and within two years of leaving United he found himself an unsuccessful trialist at Mansfield having endured a frustrating stint at Birmingham. Yet the condition had remained a mystery for many seasons. He said: "The reason nobody knew it was MS was because I was getting a lot of injuries which were everyday injuries that footballers get, like calf and hamstring injuries and a little bit of back pain. "So I never knew until I went to a specialist and had it diagnosed. I might have had it six years before it was diagnosed but the symptoms didn't come out until a lot later when I was playing for Birmingham." Wallace, who is a grandfather and lives in Manchester, has had to take regular rest periods as he makes his way towards the finishing line opposite Buckingham Palace that most competitors passed on Sunday in a matter of hours. But Wallace has had help from a man who had already achieved a similar feat in a previous marathon, former boxer Michael Watson, who suffered severe brain damage in a middleweight title fight with Chris Eubank in 1991. Watson joined Wallace, who can be sponsored on the dannywallacefoundation.org website, at Canary Wharf yesterday and helped him reach the 16-mile mark.' Danny Wallace is taking part in the London Marathon - help by sponsoring him. RN recently interviewed Danny Wallace and we're delighted to offer our support. You can too.

This season's finalists West Ham and Liverpool were staging their own dress rehearsal in a Premiership clash at Upton Park last night and their meeting at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on May 13 will have a 3pm kick-off. But such are the impressive viewing figures from Saturday's semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool, when 9.7million tuned into the 5.15pm start, that fresh moves have been made by the corporation this week to move the final to a later kick-off in future years. By comparison, ITV's figures for their Champions League semifinal involving Arsenal becoming the first ever London club to reach the European Cup Final were 7.5million. BBC Director General Mark Thompson is behind the move, preferring to show the big live sporting events at 'unorthodox times to maximise audiences'. The FA's chief executive Brian Barwick has been made aware of this. With his background in broadcasting and understanding of the BBC's demands, television executives were hoping for his support. However, Sportsmail has learned that Barwick, once the head of sport at the BBC and ITV, is leading the resistance. He is concerned a later kick-off would allow supporters more time for drinking in the build-up to English football's showpiece event, a fixture that is screened to 500million viewers around the world. There is also the issue of fans travelling home after the match. Sports Agenda first revealed the BBC's initial plan two years ago, but they are redoubling their efforts with their contract halfway through its four-year term. It will be a 'key negotiating point' in future talks regarding a new contract, according to sources. Barwick is not alone in doubting the plan. The FA Challenge Cup Committee, who have the final say, are also opposed to it.' --------------------------------- [20] Sportinglife on team news --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: 'Despite fierce competition from Wes Brown, Vidic is expected to start alongside Rio Ferdinand in central defence, while Sir Alex Ferguson will check on the extent of a minor groin problem Gabriel Heinze picked up on reserve-team duty on Tuesday before finalising his squad. After sticking with Ruud van Nistelrooy for the excellent Easter Monday win at Tottenham, Ferguson is once again faced with a striking dilemma as fit-again Louis Saha is pushing to partner Wayne Rooney.' http://www.qksrv.net/click-795737-5042816 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [19] Vidic on Champions League --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: "I have not played in the Champions League before so I hope to put that right next season. When I finish my career, I want to look back and remember I played in the competition and did well in it." --------------------------------- [18] Vidic on Europe --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: "Manchester United should be playing in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League every year. It is very important for us to do well in Europe and by getting straight into the group phase, it means we can have a proper break and then come back fully prepared." --------------------------------- [17] Kenyon talks rubbish --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: In football, loyalty and passion first and foremost come from the fans and without acknowledging the fans, then you cannot expect them to become a consumer or a customer. For far too long, football treated fans as fans and forgot what customers wanted. Clubs have now started to think about fans and the amount of money they bring into football. You have to engage them better and give them better facilities. Fundamentally, I dont think you can buy success. (but spending £300m of Roman's money helps eh) The back-to-back Premiership title has only been done once in 15 years. Theres no doubt about it the team which wins the Premier League is the best team of the season and thats very different from competing in a club competition" Once in 15 years...er, don't think so baldy --------------------------------- [16] Rossi on possible loan deal --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: "The best move would be to go out on loan to gain experience, but my aim and my goal is to stay here and play with United" --------------------------------- [15] Rossi wants to play --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: "It would be nice to play in the last couple of games. It is just a case of wait and see. We are almost secure in second place anyway, so if we don't beat Chelsea, maybe the manger might play a few youngsters in the final two games. First-team wise, not much has happened for me since the Burton Albion game, so at the moment it is about taking every opportunity I get to remind the manager what I can do. Everyone wants to go out to Old Trafford and play with the best players. It is the goal of everyone. You just hope your dream will come true."

The Frenchman, top scorer in the Premier League this season with 23 goals and instrumental in helping Arsenal reach the Champions League final, was a clear winner ahead of runner-up John Terry of Chelsea and Manchester United's Wayne Rooney. Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, the Professional Footballer's Association (PFA) Player of the Year, finished fourth ahead of Joe Cole and last year's winner Frank Lampard. Henry also collected the award in 2003 and 2004, the first back-to-back winner, and the first overseas player to win the award twice. Paul Hetherington, chairman of the FWA, said: "Henry is a deserving winner in a season when there have been several outstanding candidates, such as Terry, Rooney and Gerrard. "Henry's achievement ranks him up there as the greatest player in the 59-year history of the award." --------------------------------- [11] Show that you're a decent lot --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: Show that Red News site readers are nice people - and help a great charity our Ast Ed is doing the Manchester run and if you're feeling kind hearted you can sponsor him with sponsorship going to The Christie Hospital. http://www.justgiving.com/johnshaw2699 http://www.justgiving.com/johnshaw2699 --------------------------------- [10] Gallas on tomorrow --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: After the fiasco in the FA Cup, our desire is now to clinch the title against Manchester United and I am completely convinced we will be champions on Saturday. A win against United is always to be celebrated but, in this case, we want to stop them having any more thoughts of winning the league. But I am sure they will not come down to London for a nice stroll. We will have to work hard to win. We have not relaxed in the league in the past few months thinking it was already done. Our rivals also count and we have had the Champions League to think about. The European Cup is still something to achieve and at some time our bad luck in this competition has to end. var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/img/16139340/608750?' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11); document.write(' http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=17211&a=608750&g=16139340 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news '); var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/img/804645/608750?' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11); document.write(' http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=17211&a=608750&g=804645 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news '); --------------------------------- [9] Letter to Red News --------------------------------- Posted Friday, April 28, 2006 by ed: Lottery Funding Regarding the award of a £30,000 lottery grant to United. As you reported on Red News on the 26th April, the culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, insisted the grant was not a government decision. Speaking at culture questions in the Commons on Monday 24th she sought to distance her department from the award. However the cabinet minister defended the controversial move, aimed at improving the physical fitness of the football club's staff, as a risk worth taking. "This decision was taken by the regional sports board of Sport England," she reported to MPs. The grant was designed to help "employers to boost the levels of physical activity by employees" she explained. Nuneaton MP Bill Olner challenged her on the payment, saying money going to a "very rich organisation" could have been spent on more needy projects elsewhere. I also read a report in the Sunday Telegraph which quoted one Liberal MP as saying the award "must rank as amongst the most obscene ever given out of lottery funds" Then we learn that Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans has stepped up his campaign against this award. The Ribble Valley Tory has put down a Commons Motion on the issue after his original criticism of the grant sparked a wave of angry reaction. Mr Evans said: "The response I have received from the original story has been overwhelming. Many people have written to me highlighting the anger we all feel over the awarding of this lottery grant. "We all know of causes that are desperate for lottery money and have been turned down, whilst the second richest football club in the world receives £30,000 to get their staff fit. This can not be fair." Well how about these examples of lottery funds that have been well appropriated over the last four years. 26th April 2006 The Champion chartered accountants firm has been given £35,744 to bring in a female salsa teacher to take classes at the firm's headquarters in Salford 14th April 2006 The survival of an endangered beetle has been secured after being discovered in the Vale of Evesham. The Noble Chafer is to have its habitat saved after the Cleeve Prior Heritage Trust were given help to buy rare orchards by the Heritage Lottery Fund. A grant of £16,500 from the fund will enable them to purchase 2.5 acres of traditional orchards as a community orchard. 4th April 2006 The Bath-based American Museum has been awarded a £450,500 Heritage Lottery Fund grant to create an exhibition celebrating 200 years of history. The exhibition will feature a full interpretation of US history over a 200-year period from colonialism to the 20th century. Why do we need that in England? 7th September 2005 £48,000 lottery award for a project for schools on gypsy and travelling communities. The fund has given a grant to Hampshire Council for a project on the traditions of travelling communities. 24th February 2004 The film, The Sex Lives of the Potato Men, which stars comedian Johnny Vegas, was made by a West Midlands-based production company with the help of a £900,000 award. 27th February 2003 The future of a Herefordshire-based magazine for travellers has been guaranteed for the next three years thanks to a £200,000 lottery grant. The Travellers Times was launched five years ago by the Hereford's Rural Media Company. The magazine aims to highlight the concerns of the travelling community across the UK. 4th December 2002 Work is being carried out to revamp one of Norwich's most unusual historic buildings - a disused urinal. The 10-sided toilet on St Crispin's Road dates back to 1919 and is believed to be the oldest surviving concrete urinal in the UK. It has been granted Grade II listed status, and is now being renovated at a cost of £27,000. Other parties that have benefitted from lottery payouts include projects on Nubian heritage, African dishes and a study on dreadlocks has also been successful. Other controversial grants include £420,000 to help Peruvian farmers to breed edible guinea pigs, £20,000 on teaching prisoners to play the xylophone and an award of £17,500 for the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood to do up her home. And who gets all the bad press?
