Development Fund Gala Dinner - tickets selling fast

FC United is delighted to announce plans for a Gala Dinner which will be hosted by the Club in aid of the Development Fund on Friday March 25th at the Museum of Science and Industry’s ‘Revolution’ exhibition hall in Manchester.

The venue celebrates Manchester ’s pioneering history in technology, culture and politics, which we feel is appropriate given our aims for Newton Heath and our role in promoting supporter ownership in football.

We have secured an excellent line-up, including Wilf McGuinness and Martin Buchan, who will share their experiences playing for, and in Wilf’s case managing, Manchester United. The evening will be hosted by Manchester comedian and star of Looking for Eric and Phoenix Nights, Justin Moorhouse, who will also be performing some of his acclaimed stand-up comedy routine.

Tickets for the event are priced at £125 per person or £100 each if purchasing a table of 10. The ticket price includes champagne reception, three course dinner with coffee and all entertainment. We will also be holding a raffle and auction on the night, which will include two signed Eric Cantona shirts from the mid-1990s.

FC United has already been supported by a number of companies and individuals which have purchased tables for this event. They include many of those working with the Club on the Ten Acres Lane project, for which this event is a pivotal fundraiser.

We would like to thank everyone who has so far helped us with the Gala Dinner, which we are sure will be a superb evening for FC United and will help us take a huge step towards Ten Acres Lane.
