FC UNITED of MANCHESTER -v- BLYTH SPARTANS FC Match Arrangements

FC UNITED of MANCHESTER -v- BLYTH SPARTANS FC Match Arrangements On Monday 22nd April FC United welcome Blyth Spartans to Broadhurst Park in our last home game of the season kick off 3.00 pm.

These match arrangements are written before the away game at Alfreton so it may very well be that this will not only be our last home game of the season, but probably our last home game in the National League North for the time being.

However, despite the awful season we have had, we must remember that this is our club, we have a wonderful stadium, and a great community set up. If we get things right on the pitch next season who knows what may happen. In any event we’re FC and we’ll be alright!!!

YOUTH UNITED DAY

This match had been designated as Youth United Day. This is something that we have promoted every year since our formation and is a crucial event in our community work.

It all kicks off at 12.00 noon with free activities for all under 18s who will also gain free admission to the match.
