FCum v Maine Road FC
Maine Road...a bit of history
1955 - 2006 The club was formed in 1955 as City Supporters Rusholme, when the past Chairman Frank Thompson and a few friends formed a team and after playing a few friendlies joined the local Rusholme Sunday League. In the late sixties the club changed to the Manchester Amateur Sunday League and also moved it's headquarters to the newly built Maine Road Social Club and hence the new name Maine Road F.C. was born. Ronnie Meredith was now running the club and in 1971-72 we won the Manchester County Sunday Cup and both the club's sides won their respective leagues. This prompted Ron to look for a new challenge and he changed the whole future of the club by moving to Saturday Football in the form of the Manchester League. Success followed success on the field and after several years of moving grounds we settled on our present home at Brantingham Road in 1980. After a lean spell one of Ron's ambitions was realised in the Season of 1983-84 when they won the Manchester League Premier Division. In fact won the league Four Years running. Derek Barber took over the reins of management in 1986 and the clubs progress continued, so much so that when the Manchester County F.A.'s new complex at Brantingham Road was built, Ron's other ambition was achieved.
