Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Terry Lewis (Labour), on Tuesday, 29 June 1999, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 21 members in total.
MANCHESTER UNITED AND THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CHALLENGE CUP (No. 2)
That this House regrets the decision of the Football Association to encourage the withdrawal of Manchester United from the 1999-2000 FA challenge cup competition to facilitate participation in a meaningless tournament in South America; believes that the absence of the holders will damage the integrity of the world's foremost football cup competition; doubts, in any case, the efficacy of the club undertaking an arduous overseas campaign at a critical stage of the domestic season; believes that to do so will not be in the best interests of Manchester United and its supporters; and therefore urges the directors of the club to concentrate upon the defence of The Treble to the exclusion of all else in 1999-2000.
