F.C. United of Manchester is a semi-professional football club based in Moston, Manchester, England. The club competes in the National League North, the sixth tier of the English football league system, and play their home matches at Broadhurst Park.

Founded in 2005 by Manchester United supporters opposed to American businessman Malcolm Glazer's takeover of that club, F.C. United entered the North West Counties Football League Division Two in their inaugural season. They achieved three consecutive promotions in the first three years of their existence and were promoted for a fourth time to compete in the National League North for the 2015–16 season. In cup competitions, F.C. United reached the second round of the FA Cup during the 2010–11 season and the fourth round of the FA Trophy during the 2014–15 season.

After sharing multiple stadia across Greater Manchester between 2005 and 2015, F.C. United opened their own ground, Broadhurst Park in north-east Manchester, in May 2015. The team has been managed by former professional footballer Karl Marginson since its formation. The club's regular kit colours are red shirts, white shorts and black socks. Their badge is based on the Manchester coat of arms and features a ship at sea and three stripes for the three rivers that flow through Manchester.

F.C. United are the largest fan-owned football club in the United Kingdom and have one of the highest home attendances in English non-league football. The club is democratically run by its members who have equal voting rights and own one share in the club each.

History

Formation

F.C. United's first game was a friendly against Leigh RMI in 2005.

The club was founded in 2005 by disaffected supporters of Manchester United.[2] Although fans had various reasons for dissatisfaction,[3][4] the catalyst for F.C. United's formation was the 12 May 2005 takeover of Manchester United by American businessman Malcolm Glazer.[5][6] Supporters first considered forming a breakaway club in 1998 during an attempted takeover of Manchester United by BSkyB.[7] The creation of F.C. United in the event of a Glazer buyout was first proposed in February 2005 by Manchester United fanzine Red Issue.[4][7]

Public meetings for fans were held on 19 May 2005 at the Central Methodist Hall in Manchester's Northern Quarter and on 30 May at the Apollo Theatre.[5] Subsequently, a steering group was created to set up the new club.[8] After the name "F.C. United" was rejected by The Football Association for being too generic, all those who had pledged money to the club were asked to vote on a name.[9] On 14 June 2005, it was announced that "F.C. United of Manchester" had been chosen, beating "A.F.C. Manchester 1878", "Manchester Central" and "Newton Heath United",[9][10][11] and F.C. United were officially registered with the Manchester County Football Association on the same day.[12]

Karl Marginson was appointed as the club's manager on 22 June, and the club held trials for players four days later.[13][14] Around 900 players applied to take part in the trials, of whom 200 were chosen to take part and 17 selected to play for F.C. United.[15] Jonathan Mitten, great-nephew of Manchester United forward Charlie Mitten, was the club's first signing.[4]

F.C. United's inaugural members' meeting was held on 5 July 2005 at the Methodist Central Hall; members voted on the club's constitution, badge, core principles and elected the 11-member board.[16] By 6 July, over 4,000 people had pledged money to F.C. United and the club had over £100,000 in the bank.[17] During F.C. United's formation, the owners of Leigh RMI offered to merge the two clubs, but the parties decided against the idea.[18] F.C. United later arranged to play their first ever game against Leigh RMI on 16 July 2005; the match ended 0–0.[19]

North West Counties years (2005–07)

For the 2005–06 season, F.C. United were admitted to the second division of the North West Counties Football League (NWCFL)—level ten of the English football league system, nine levels below the Premier League.[20] The club arranged to play its home matches at Bury's Gigg Lane.[20] F.C. United were ineligible to play in the FA Vase for their first season as the club was formed after the deadline to enter the competition; they were, however, able to play in the North West Counties League Challenge Cup.[21]

F.C. United's first competitive match was a 5–2 away victory over Leek CSOB on 13 August 2005,[22] and the club made their home debut at Gigg Lane on 20 August against Padiham; they won 3–2 with two goals from Rory Patterson.[23] During their first season, F.C. United consistently broke NWCFL attendance records; a crowd of 6,032 watched the team during their final home league match of the season, against Great Harwood Town, which remains an NWCFL record as of 2016.[24] Although losing that game 0–1, the team were promoted to Division One.[25]

After a successful season in the NWCFL Division One F.C. United were promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One North after beating Ramsbottom United.[26] They secured their second successive league title with a 7–1 win over Atherton Laburnum Rovers on 18 April 2007,[27] and later completed the NWCFL league and cup double when they beat Curzon Ashton 2–1 in the NWCFL's Challenge Cup final.[28] They were eliminated from their first season in an FA competition (the FA Vase) after losing 2–3 in the last minute of extra-time to Quorn in third round.[29]

Northern Premier League years (2007–15)

In 2007–08, F.C. United played in the inaugural season of the Northern Premier League (NPL) Division One North. They made their debut in the FA Cup that season, but lost 1–2 to Fleetwood Town in the first qualifying round.[30] They advanced to the final of the 2007–08 NPL President's Cup, in which they beat Radcliffe Borough 2–0 to pick up their fourth trophy in the three years following the club's formation.[31] The club finished the season second in the league, trailing champions Bradford Park Avenue by one point, and entered the play-offs for the other promotion place. After beating Bamber Bridge 3–2 in the semi-finals, F.C. United faced Skelmersdale United in the promotion play-off final, coming back from a goal down to win 4–1 and earn their third successive promotion to play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[32]

In 2008–09, F.C. United made their debut in the FA Trophy, reaching the third qualifying round, and missed out on a play-off place on the last day of the regular season.[33][34] In the 2009–10 season, they finished 13th in the league, their lowest league position in the first five seasons,[20] before progressing to the play-offs in 2010–11.[35] They beat Bradford Park Avenue 2–0 in the semi-finals but lost the final 0–1 to Colwyn Bay.[36][37] Earlier that season, F.C. United reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, recording victories over Radcliffe Borough, Gainsborough Trinity, Norton & Stockton Ancients and Barrow to play League One side Rochdale. They defeated Rochdale 3–2 after a late winner from Mike Norton,[38] and played eventual 2010–11 League One champions Brighton & Hove Albion in the second round. After a 1–1 away draw at Withdean Stadium, F.C. United lost the replay at Gigg Lane 0–4,[39] in front of their highest home attendance of 6,731.[40]

In the 2011–12 season, F.C. United reached the first round of the FA Trophy for the first time after knocking out Frickley Athletic, Durham City and Altrincham.[41][42] In the league, they qualified for the end of season play-offs, despite finishing 6th, due to the demotion of Northwich Victoria for breaching of financial rules.[43][44] They beat Chorley 2–0 in the play-off semi-final to qualify for consecutive play-off finals but lost 0–1 to Bradford Park Avenue in the penultimate minute of extra time.[45][46]

F.C. United finished third in the 2012–13 season to book a place in the play-offs.[47] They won 3–1 against Witton Albion in the semi-final,[48] but lost the final for the third consecutive time with a 1–2 defeat to Hednesford Town.[49] The following season, the club finished second in the league but lost in the play-offs in the semi-finals.[50][51] During the 2014–15 campaign, F.C. United reached the fourth round of the FA Trophy[52] and recorded a streak of 21 league games without a loss from December to April, including 16 victories.[53] They secured their promotion to the National League North following a 1–0 win against Stourbridge on 21 April 2015; after seven years of trying.[54] The club's top scorer for this championship winning season was Tom Greaves,[40] the same player who scored the winning goal for Bradford Park Avenue against F.C. United in the 2012 play-off final.[46]

National League years (2015–present)

F.C. United recorded their first victory in the National League North in a 3–2 home win over Brackley Town on 22 August 2015, which was the club's first competitive win at Broadhurst Park.[55] In October, for the second time in the club's history, they secured a place in the first round of the FA Cup with a 3–1 away win over Sporting Khalsa,[56] but were eliminated from the competition after a 1–4 home loss against Chesterfield.[57] In November, the club ended their cup run for the 2015–16 season after two successive home defeats to Stalybridge Celtic 3–4 in the Manchester Premier Cup and to A.F.C. Telford United 1–2 in the FA Trophy.[58][59] Between September and November 2015, F.C. United lost seven consecutive league matches; their worst run ever as of April 2016.[40] They eventually finished the season in 13th place.[60]

Colours and badge

Gules, three bendlets enhanced Or; a chief argent, thereon on waves of the sea a ship under sail proper. On a wreath of colours, a terrestrial globe semée of bees volant, all proper. On the dexter side a heraldic antelope argent, attired, and chain reflexed over the back Or, and on the sinister side a lion guardant Or, murally crowned Gules; each charged on the shoulder with a rose of the last. Motto: "Concilio et Labore".
F.C. United of Manchester's badge is based on the coat of arms of Manchester City Council.

F.C. United's club colours are red, white and black—the same colours worn by Manchester United.[61] The shirt bears no sponsorship logo, as it was written into the club's constitution that the club should not have a shirt sponsor.[62] The club's first kit was a plain red shirt, white shorts and plain black socks.[63] The club introduced a new home shirt for the 2007–08 season with a striped collar and striped ends on the sleeves which lasted until 2009.[64] This was changed for the 2009–11 seasons to a red shirt with a black and white stripe down the left side, manufactured by Admiral Sportswear.[65] For seasons 2011–13 the club reverted to a plain red shirt, manufactured by O'Neills.[66] The club's second kit, worn when playing away against a team with a predominantly red kit, is a white shirt with a horizontal red and black wave, white shorts and socks.[67] The club has an alternative plain blue kit for playing against a team with a red and white kit.[68] In past seasons white shirts with diagonal black or red stripes[63][69] and a white shirt with a red trim, black shorts and white socks have all been used as the second kits.[70]

The club's badge is red, white, black and yellow, and incorporates elements from the coat of arms of Manchester City Council; a ship representing Manchester's industry and three stripes representing the three rivers that flow through Manchester: the Irk, the Irwell and the Medlock.[12]

Stadium

F.C. United play at the 4,400 capacity[1] Broadhurst Park, which opened in May 2015.[71] The ground was built at a cost of £6.3 million, using £2 million from a Community Share Scheme and the remainder from a variety of governmental and charity grants.[72] The ground is surrounded on all sides by covered stands: the St. Mary's Road End (east), the North Stand, the Lightbowne Road End (west) and the Main Stand (south), the latter of which has seating sections.[1] Within the Main Stand is a clubhouse with a bar and catering facilities, club offices, changing rooms, a medical suite and a classroom.[73] The stadium is shared with a local junior team, Moston Juniors F.C.[74]

From their foundation in 2005 until 2014, F.C. United were based at Bury F.C.'s Gigg Lane stadium. F.C. United's first proposed stadium was announced in 2010 for Newton Heath, the original home of Manchester United.[75] The development was planned to be located on the site of the Ten Acres Lane sports centre and would have cost £3.5 million, to be financed by public donations, a Community Shares issue and grant funding.[76] However a year later, in March 2011, Manchester City Council backed out from funding the stadium.[77] The Broadhurst Park site in Moston, north-east Manchester, was announced in April 2011.[78] Detailed information about the new facility was released in June 2011[79] and Manchester City Council approved the planning permission for the site on 27 October 2011.[80] F.C. United had to overcome some obstacles including funding agreements, contractor and lease negotiations and a legal challenge from local residents which caused a further two-year delay before building commenced in November 2013.[81]

A standing-only area is visible to the right of the picture. Football players and officials can be seen on the pitch.
The club's home ground, Broadhurst Park, opened in May 2015.

During their time at Bury, fixture clashes meant that F.C. United used a further six stadia for home fixtures: Altrincham's Moss Lane;[82] Radcliffe Borough's Stainton Park;[83] Hyde United's Ewen Fields;[84] Stalybridge Celtic's Bower Fold;[85][86] and Curzon Ashton's Tameside Stadium.[87]

For the 2014–15 season, F.C. United ended their groundsharing agreement with Bury after nine seasons in preparation for their move to Broadhurst Park. As the ground was not ready at the start of the season, they used Bower Fold as a temporary home. Delays with Broadhurst Park meant that F.C. United were unable to move in until May 2015, and following fixture clashes with Stalybridge Celtic the club moved in December 2014 to the Tameside Stadium for the remainder of the season.[88][89] F.C. United hosted a test event at Broadhurst Park on 16 May 2015, staging a short match between their first team and an Invitational XI made up of past players.[71] The official opening game was a friendly against Benfica B on 29 May,[90] the anniversary of Manchester United's victory over Benfica in the 1968 European Cup Final. Benfica won the opening game 1–0 in front of a crowd of 4,232.[91][92]

Supporters

F.C. United are owned by 5,000 of their members and are the largest supporter-owned football club in the United Kingdom.[93] Each member can vote on how the club is run, including voting for board members, kit designs and season ticket prices.[7] Most F.C. United supporters still support Manchester United and many were previously season ticket holders at Old Trafford.[94] F.C. United fans are known for the large range of songs that they sing at matches, and the atmosphere created by fans has been praised in the media.[95][96][97][98]

During their first season (2005–06), F.C. United had the second-highest average attendance in English non-League football with an average gate of 3,059 and were the 87th best supported club across all divisions.[99] Attendances fell in the next two seasons and they were the 92nd best supported club in 2006–07 and 100th best supported club by 2007–08.[100][101] Their average league attendance then levelled out at approximately 2,000 per game,[102] before rising to an average of 2,155 in 2014–15, the then-seventh highest attendance in non-League football.[103] After moving to Broadhurst Park in May 2015, the club averaged a gate of 3,394 in 2015–16, a season-on-season increase of over 57% and the fourth highest attendance in non-League football.[104]

Organisation

F.C. United operate as a community benefit society.[2] Membership is obtained by paying an annual fee of £12 to the club (£3 for children) but each member receives only one share in the club and is entitled to a single vote at meetings, regardless of the amount donated.[105][106] The board consists of up to 11 members who are elected by the members of the club.[16] Day-to-day operations of the club are overseen by a Chief Executive Officer; Andy Walsh, a founding member of F.C. United, was appointed to the position in 2005.[93] He stepped down from the role at the end of June 2016.[107] Damian Chadwick, another founding member of the club, took up the position in November 2016.[108]

The club's manifesto includes the following core principles:[105]

  1. The Board will be democratically elected by its members;
  2. Decisions taken by the membership will be decided on a one-member, one vote basis;
  3. The club will develop strong links with the local community and strive to be accessible to all, discriminating against none;
  4. The club will endeavour to make admission prices as affordable as possible, to as wide a constituency as possible;
  5. The club will encourage young, local participation—playing and supporting—whenever possible;
  6. The Board will strive wherever possible to avoid outright commercialism;
  7. The club will remain a non-profit organisation.

The club accepts sponsorship but does not allow sponsors' logos to be displayed on the team's shirts.[62] The club's main sponsor in its inaugural 2005–06 season was the Bhopal Medical Appeal and in the 2006–07 season it was the Williams BMW Group.[109][110] Between 2011–2016, F.C. United were sponsored by mxData, a Manchester-based mobile app development company.[62][111] In October 2014, F.C. United became the first football club in the United Kingdom to be accredited as a living wage employer by the Living Wage Foundation.[112]

Criticism

F.C. United and their founders have been criticised and supported by fans of Manchester United and the media; some fans view those who chose to leave to follow F.C. United as "traitors".[113][114] Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson questioned the loyalty of fans who decided to form the club and the motivation behind the forming of F.C. United in a 2006 book:[115]

I'm sorry about that. It is a bit sad, that part, but I wonder just how big a United supporter they are. They seem to me to be promoting or projecting themselves a wee bit rather than saying, "at the end of the day the club have made a decision, we'll stick by them." It's more about them than us.
— Sir Alex Ferguson, The Official Manchester United Diary of the Season (2006)

Former Manchester United forward Eric Cantona has supported the club, describing them as "having a great idea" and expressing hope that F.C. United will "become a great club and win the European Cup in 50 years' time".[116] In 2010, aged 43, he said that he would be prepared to play for the club.[117] Steve Coppell, Manchester United winger between 1975 and 1983, joined the club as a co-owner in April 2016.[118]

F.C. United have been criticised by their own members for abandoning their principles, including agreeing to a photo op with a Conservative Party government minister in October 2015, despite a club policy not to be used for political promotion, and a day after some club members took part in a march against government cuts in Manchester.[119][120] F.C. United defended the visit as "an essential part" of the development of financial vehicles for football fans, arguing that it will help government representatives to better understand the benefits and challenges of social investment.[121]

The club's programme editor resigned from his position in June 2015 over a one-off price rise of the programme for Broadhurst Park's opening game against Benfica the previous month; a Board decision that was described as breaching the club's founding principle of avoiding outright commercialism.[119][120] F.C. United have also been criticised for a deficit in democracy, transparency and accountability between their officials and the membership.[119][120]

In 2016, protests by supporters led to several board members stepping down and an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) to elect a new board was subsequently called. The protests culminated in several fans invading the pitch during the last home game of the 2015–16 season, calling for the remaining board members deemed responsible for the lack of democracy and transparency at the club to resign.[122] Three board members resigned within a week of the on-pitch protest,[123] along with the club's Press and Communications Officer.[124] On 5 June, the EGM took place and a new board of 11 members were elected, leading to "a sense of progression and an air of optimism" among the club's members.[122]

Statistics and records
