[2] THE GLAZERS - WHAT YOU CAN DO - ACTIONS:

chase them up to make sure they do:
http://www.joinmust.org/refer

MUST has grown rapidly in the last week - now more than 42,000 members. We
can double that if we all make the effort.

[B] Portsmouth - February 6th
Of course this is the Munich anniversary so that will be observed
appropriately. We will LARGE NUMBERS of volunteers to take small
information cards into the ground or to hand out outside if you prefer.
Please add your name via 0161 872 3300 or http://www.joinmust.org/help


[c] Sign the Number 10 petition
We understand this was created by a MUST (e)member. Well done to Andrew Henderson for getting off his backside to
take action:
Wording starts: "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to believe
the Government should urgently take action on behalf of all football
supporters to prevent Manchester United Football Club (and other English
football clubs) being destroyed by corporate greed ...."

[d] GREEN & GOLD - wear your colours with pride
The GREEN & GOLD campaign is about showing your opposition to the Glazer
regime in a very visible way by wearing the old GREEN & GOLD colours of the
original Newton Heath - the origin of Manchester United. It is important
not to get in people's faces with this - we want to persuade supporters to
join rather than get into arguments that turn them against the campaign.

MUST has been ordering GREEN & GOLD scarves as fast as as suppliers can
produce them and selling them at cost price (£2.50) to help get the GREEN &
GOLD "ideavirus" to critical mass. It looks like we're already there
judging by the colours on show at OT on Wednesday night. However we're
continuing with another 4000 in time for Portsmouth(H) on Feb 6th on sale
from outside MUST office on matchday. They'll also be available online
shortly. Street sellers have been posing as MUST sellers so don't give a
donation if they demand one or ask for more than £2.50. Safest to buy from
the MUST stalls or Premier Inn (formerly Golden Tulip).

T-Shirts United have also produced a special fundraising t-shirt - use this
