Going to a match these days is so far removed from what it was just 15 years ago that the emergence of these sides (FC United and AFC Wimbledon as well) is just an expression of the frustration the average fan feels nowadays after being priced out of the game and their club. It will be interesting to see how many other clubs follow suit in the years to come and look to get back to the grass roots instead of paying hugely-inflated prices watching average football by overpaid players who have very little loyalty to the club or its fans.

Just wanted to point out that this is not in response to Hicks & Gillett. This idea would be happening anyhow as its more a response to the fact that there are thousands of people who can never (or barely ever) afford to go to the game these days. AFC Liverpool is for them primarily, so the ownership issue is irrelevant to us. Although it should be said that AFC Liverpool will be owned by its fans with equal voting rights as an Industrial and Provident Society. Al Hiya

I don't think they're willing to sacrifice the principle of equality you mention, which seems to me important that they hold on to.

I could see the goal being reached more quickly if the odd loony millionaire could toss in 20 times that amount, but it might also upset the principle of equality that seems to be a serious part of the venture.
