MUST membership increases by 30,000 in 24 hours

When the story of the bond issue broke in January, Manchester United Supporters Trust membership stood at around a paltry 30,000. That number had almost doubled in the two months following because of the repercussions of the financial details released. Yesterday morning the figure stood at 54,000.

Following a huge push by Manchester United fans to urge friends, relatives and any United fan they know to join MUST – prompted by an appearance on Sky Sports News by Chief Exec Duncan Drasdo – numbers have risen by over 30,000 in the last 24 hours.

The move has been boosted by blogs like this one and United Rant urging members to join, and forums like redcafe  and redissue doing the same.

Drasdo stated yesterday that the Red Knights wanted a show of faith from the United faithful to know for sure that they had our support. He suggested that MUST membership would have to rise to 100,000 for it to be a big enough show of faith.

I am confident that number will be reached easily within the next day or two, but 30,000 members in 24 hours is MUST’s busiest ever day and should not be played down. In fact the website crashed several times due to the sheer number of visitors and new registrations it was receiving.

If you were unable to register yesterday, please try again today. And if you still haven’t received your activation email, please be patient.

More importantly, keep spreading the link around and encouraging the United fans you know to register and give their backing to the Red Knights.

Join MUST today!
