FC United have raided Skelmersdale for the second time by landing goal-scoring defender Tony Hallam.

Meanwhile, FC United's pre-season friendly with Bury has been switched from Wednesday July 19 to July 26 (7.45pm) to fit in with the Shakers' other commitments.

Andy Walsh sieht nicht aus wie ein Fußballfan. Und wie ein Revolutionär schon gar nicht. Der ehemalige Bankangestellte trägt Polohemd, Brille und Seitenscheitel. Er spricht leise und bedacht. Er benutzt Worte wie »Geschäftsplan« und »Konsolidierung«, doch schon im nächsten Satz redet er von »Stolz« und »Widerstand«.

Jetzt ist er das Gehirn und der Schatzmeister der Fanrevolte im Mutterland des Fußballs. Seit zwölf Monaten managt der 44jährige den neugegründeten FC United of Manchester.

Not only that, but Flixton also won the Division Two Cup, reached the semi-finals of the North West Counties League Cup and the final of the Manchester Premier Cup, beating local rivals Trafford for the first time in 10 years along the way. (more…)

A conversation the other night about FC had me wondering about working with video and how possible it is… this was put together last night as an experiment – originally this was meant to include more footage of FC, but i soon realised that would be cramming too much in – so here is…
