MATCH ARRANGEMENTS - FC United v Matlock Town

On Tuesday13th September 2022 FC United welcome Matlock Town in the Northern Premier League fixture.

 

Kick-off: FC United v Matlock Town 7:45pm

 

Following a recommendation from the FA which went to all clubs and leagues, the Northern Premier League has written the following to all its member clubs:

‘The league request that a minutes silence be observed prior to each fixture this mid-week and Saturday 17th September.  Players and members of the technical area should all wear black armbands’

 

FC United will therefore be holding a minute’s silence prior to the game and the players and technical area staff will wear black armbands.

The board is aware that we have a diverse fan base with strong views both ways on the place of the monarchy and on holding gestures of commemoration for individuals who have no direct relevance to our club and our city. We understand that some of our supporters would expect us to mark the occasion in this way, whilst others will not agree with the requested gesture and in some cases may strongly disagree. The club does not have a policy for dealing with such requests and the board do not feel that they can make what would be considered by many as a stand, without wider consultation with and the agreement of the members we are elected to represent. It would not be possible to conduct meaningful consultation at this stage so the board will consult with members at the forthcoming AGM to allow all opinions to be considered before a member vote on whether the club should seek not to observe gestures of remembrance in the future in cases where the individual did not have a direct link to the club, our supporters or our opposition.

We would ask all supporters tonight to respect that whatever your view on the monarchy this is in relation to the death of a person. Those wishing not to participate will have the option to remain within the SMRE or function room bars and will have the opportunity to shape a future policy if that is the view of the majority.
