FC United of Manchester – Club with a Capital C by Copa90

“Its testament to what people power can still achieve”. The groundsman of FC United. An absolute top, top fellow.

This is what a fan owned, fan supported, for the love of the game club looks like. It’s family and friends who chip in with what they have, with the time they have, with the skills they have. Not sugar daddies, vulture capitalists, oligarchs, oil sheikhs, arms dealers, buying clubs for the prawn sandwich engorging brigades. This is football built by fans from the ground up and now they’re here to stay.

Congratulations to FC United of Manchester for turning a decade old. Proudly promoted to the National League North, five tiers removed from its infinitely better known and trophy stuffed neighbours, Manchester United.
