Is there any link there with the old Broughton Rangers, who were based in East Manchester for a time before they folded?
Yes, on their club website it kind of implies that they are descendents of Broughton/Belle Vue Rangers and have the Championship of 1902 and two Challenge Cups of 1902 and 1911 on their Roll of Hounour.
Also on the club badge it has "Est.1877" (when Broughton were founded) on there as well as "Est.2015", and a 'motto' of "Back from the Ashes" with a Pheonix on there which implies that there's a bit of a rebirth going on there.
As a Mancunian i will be sure to check out a game of theirs soon!
