We are devastated to hear that FC United founding member and programme seller of many years Mark Stopford - 'Cheetham Hill' to his friends - has passed away.
Our thoughts and love go out to Mark's family at this difficult time.
RIP Mark.
Everyone at FC United would like to send their solidarity to the fans & staff of Bury FC
Our 9 years at Gigg Lane contained some fantastic memories & greatly helped our club on the road to Broadhurst Park. We wish them all the best with their inevitable rise back up the leagues
This week our owners DIDN'T sell £137m of shares to inflate their incredible wealth even further, but....
They did set up a clothing collection for refugees

Shared with all their plans for the club for the next 5 years

backs the FA’s proposal to scrap FA Cup replays, in direct opposition to the wishes of many of their clubs.
With this and their opposition to an independent regulator, they’re acting like a wannabe mini-Premier League.
The National League, which is lobbying the House of Lords along with the Premier League in opposition to the Independent Regulator, backs scrapping of FA Cup replays despite opposition from many of its member clubs. I wonder why?

"There's only one Bobby Charlton" sing the FC fans on the far side as we hear the very sad news that the Manchester United legend has passed away peacefully - deepest condolences to his family and friends.
FC United rejects any and all forms of discrimination, and asks fans to report anything they see on any social media platform to that platform or the authorities so that it can be investigated immediately.
Racism has no place in football or society
