Well, it's while since I've been down here...
FC United have had a bit of an indifferent season so far, winning the first three games on the trot before going on a pretty poor run. The last straw for most was a shockingly bad performance at Mickleover in a 2-0 defeat. That seemed to be the kick up the booty needed and in the next game, we beat Ossett Town at home (Stalybridge, in this case) 4-1. Amongst all that, we beat Radcliffe Borough, Gainsborough Trinity and then Norton and Stockton Ancients in the FA Cup. The latter being a belting day out on Teeside, pitch invasions included. That set up a 4th Qualifying Round tie against Barrow at Gigg Lane next Sunday. Should be fun.
More recently, we beat Newcastle Town 5-0 yesterday at home in the FA Trophy. A couple of decent cup runs could well be the tonic needed after recent league form.
Oh aye - there's the small matter of a certain proposed development on Ten Acres Lane in Newton Heath and the launching of a Community Share scheme which, if successful, could provide a viable blueprint for clubs at all levels to raise money in the future. http://www.fc-utd.co.uk/communityshares

Chorley are still undefeated in the league after beating Leigh 3-1 on Saturday.There was a good crowd of over 1100,other than the game against FC United (which was mostly FC fans)it was the biggest league crowd in about 20 years.

Well Halifax got promoted at the end of last season. i expected it to be more tricky and lose more games.
as it turns out, were at the top of the league again 3 points clear with a game in hand. we won tonight for the 7th successive league game. without playing well.
i can see another promotion party at the end of the season on the cards already
Fleetwood riding high in their first season in the Blue Square Premier. Warlow has now decided he is mentally fit and does actually want to play football so with him and Magno up front its a scary thought.
