Clearly the best achievement for FC thus far...

....second in the Unibond north with that huge fixture pile up towards the end of the season.

I'm pretty sure we'd have been champions if we'd have had close to the normal fixture list. As it was, just one point off the top spot, if we had just managed to force a win mid-week eh?

Still, play offs should be exciting. I reckon we should turn over Bamber Bridge and a final against Skem or Curzon should be a cracker.

manxmanc · 26th April 2008, 23:11

We play at home don't we?

And providing we get to the final we play that at home to?

mickthered · 27th April 2008, 00:12

Play off line up:-

Wednesday FC UNITED V Bamber Bridge
Tues/Wed Skelmersdale V Curzon Ashton

Saturday 3rd May Play Off Final
Played at ground of team in final finishing highest in league

If FC win against BB will be at home to skem or Curzon If BB win they will be away to Skem or Curzon

Many Thanks for going to all that trouble Mick.

Looks straight forward, Sponsors let youse down, about £20k is good from that Buy to let if it happens, I'd look to save on the stewards and I'd hold back on the artificial. Revenue does not seem like a problem £35k could be recouped in a tour.

I think the club is missing out on merchandise sales, but when I spoke with one of the Board members recently in Manchester he told me that they would prefer fans to buy merchandise for loving the club, not because it would be seen as trendy to show 2 fingers to MUFC.

Fair play to youse, got a nice little set up going, and with abit of wind behind youse who knows??

Good Luck with the Promotion and we'll do email next time

mickthered · 1st May 2008, 00:13

FC United of Manchester 3 Bamber Bridge 2
Carden A 22 Zarac 51
Patterson 38 Zarac 79
Wright 69

Made hard work out of a game against tough opposition but with a lot at stake it was a good win

Watch the United v west ham game in the Social then after FC v skem

Hopefully two wins for United on Saturday

manxmanc · 1st May 2008, 20:24

Brilliant achievement. If I lived in Manchester instead of my London exile I would be taking my nephew there as he never gets to see a match at big united.
