Comment on Who the fuck is Ronald Johnson? by Chris

Having read all the arguments for and against the development and studied the history of the playing fields etc. the simple facts are …..

1 the playing fields are currently fenced off to the public so no one at present gets benefit from them anyway, ( apart from Moston Juniors when they are using the fields who will benefit from the improved facility anyway).

2 FC United will provide facilities open to the community 7 days a week when the stadium is completed and will considerably improve the rural aspect of the area by way of improved lanscaping, tree / shrub planting etc

3 there are vast areas of open space in Moston, across the road next to the cemetry are huge playnig fields for all the people of Moston to continue enjoying and Broadhurt Park adjacent to the playing fields too, so no one in Moston will be deprived of open spaces whatsoever, so there is room for everyone.

4 The development will bring in extra money for local businesses and create new jobs which is vital at this time of hardship for families.

5 FC United,s average home attendances are only about 2000 so traffic congestion and parking problems are not going to be a problem.

On a final note, If Sir Edward Tootal Mr Broadhurst and Ronald Johnson were alive today they would be pleased and proud to welcome FC United to Moston, a club that works hard for local community and provides affordable and spirited football for all, making friends not millionares.

So lets not have any more negativity,
” Surely this will be good thing for Moston and North Manchester”

Old post but interesting point. Fan owned club – AFC Rushden & Diamonds. Guess who is involved? Correct – Mr Whitney himself…

Nothing has been deleted from this blog. It will take a while for comments to appear as I have to approve each one in turn. I have no interest in censoring comments, much as I have no interest in my football team representing a community in which it is not wanted. But time will tell as to how pertinent a point that will be.The delay in comments appearing is due to the fact I no longer update or moderate this site. However as long as people see fit to comment I shall see fit to publish.

My blog was erased too. I wonder who by? I am the great nephew of Ronald Johnson. Perhaps some body does not want you to know that. I will be interested to see if this erased.

Ronald Johnson was a man who was killed while fighting on the Western Front in 1917 and who left a bequest for the benefit of his employees. That’s who the **** he was. I think he deserves to be referred to in rather more respectful terms than the loutish remarks on display here.

Ronald Johnson was my great uncle. He was killed in the First World War. I believe that the playing fields were a bequest in his will but must check the details. He was a devoted son of Manchester. He was one of the sons of William Henry Johnson and Agnes (nee Morton) and lived at Woodleigh, Dunham Massey, Altrincham. His elder brother, William Morton Johnson, was also killed in the war. His youngest sister, Enid, was my grandmother. Another brother was the Rev’d Alan Johnson MC, Vicar of Ashton under Lyme for many years. The family firm was Johnson, Clapham and Morris.

My family don’t want this stadium on public parkland. Why should the lame excuses of dog fouling and under age drinking be used as a pretense in order to take our park? Why should a greedy club take over our green spaces like they’ve got the right? And what’s Manchester City Council doing letting them? It’s all corrupt!
