FC United of Manchester - Following in the footsteps of the real Red Devils
View attachment 422285
A Background
For those of you that don't know, FC United of Manchester are a football club that were formed in 2005 by supporters who opposed the Glazer takeover. The club entered the North West Counties Football League division two in 2005, winning the league in their inaugural season. The following season FC United won the North West Countries Football League division one, making it back-to-back league titles.
In their third year, they gained promotion from the Northern Premier League Division One North by finishing second in the league and then winning the play-offs. Since then the club has been stuck in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, coming clue to promotion on numerous occasions, including losing in play-off final last year.
They play their home games at Bury's Gigg Lane Stadium, however in October 2011 FC United gained permission to build their own stadium in Moston (right near my house), and work has now begun on that stadium. The club hope to move into their new home in-time for the 2014-15 season.
