[1] SUPPORT THE TEAM, DEFEND THE CLUB
As Manchester United supporters by definition we all support the team - you can take that as RED.
But it is at least as important to DEFEND the Club too. Our history, our fans and our future. Green & Gold is a powerful symbol which shows not only do we support the team but we will also stand up to defend the Club.

[2] Fulham Fans in show of Green & Gold solidarity
At the match tomorrow - assuming the Glazers' security don't try to suppress free speech once again - a sizeable number of Fulham fans will be showing Green & Gold in the away section tomorrow. Due to increased ticket pricing Fulham are only expecting to bring about 500 supporters but we expect at least one fifth of them will be attempting to bring in a Green & Gold scarf. That is an incredible gesture for away fans who naturally first and foremost want to support their own team of course. We didn't ask them to do this. They approached us with the idea.
This is a tremendous show of solidarity. If a group of away fans can do this United fans should use it as a spur to up our game and rebuild the powerful Green & Gold campaign over the coming season.
Dan Crawford Communications and Media Director of Fulham Supporters Trust said:
"Fulham Fans are grateful for MUST's support during our campaign to return Fulham FC to Craven Cottage. Our own campaign has reached a successful conclusion with the club being granted planning permission expanding the stadium to 30,000.
Like fans at many clubs I've become increasingly concerned over recent years by the activities of owners like the Glazers abusing our clubs and the loyalty of the fans for their own ends. The fans are the lifeblood of any club and parasitic owners like the Glazers are draining that lifeblood away.
Supporter participation in ownership is the way forward to protect our clubs and their fans from exploitative owners.
MUST has run a fantastic campaign so far drawing admiration from likeminded fans of rival clubs all over the world.
The Green & Gold colours are such a powerful symbol - with their historical link going back to the roots of the club and showing fans' desire to defend their club and its history. While we remain rivals on the pitch we wanted to show our solidarity with this campaign and encourage United fans and indeed all fans at all clubs to support each other in the fight for fans to reclaim their clubs."
