Fergie pleads with fans to call off Cheltenham protest
Supporters had been planning a demonstration on the final day of the Festival meeting in retribution for Ferguson’s ongoing legal battle with John Magnier, and the threat of a takeover of Manchester United by Magnier and his business partner JP McManus.
“The Cheltenham Festival is a classic meeting in the National Hunt racing calendar, which people from all over the world and all walks of life come to enjoy,” said Ferguson in a statement.
