One club, 4,000 owners - FC United records new membership high

FC United has announced a new high for the club with the news that it now has 4,008 members, the highest number of co-owners in the club’s history. The previous highest figure of 3,574, recorded in 2010/11 during FC’s epic FA Cup run season, was passed in January this year and the current high is testament to the hard work of FC United staff and volunteers, in particular the membership team, led by FC United board member Tom Stott.

Achieving the landmark total now is particularly relevant as this week is Supporter Ownership Week, Supporters Direct’s week-long celebration of supporter ownership and fan engagement.

FC United general manager Andy Walsh said: “Getting to 4,000 members is a landmark achievement and it’s great that we have achieved this in our tenth anniversary year. The club is showing that supporter ownership really works and it’s a successful model that offers a real and viable alternative to the current way that football is run. Every one of those 4,008 members is an equal co-owner in our club, with an equal say in the way FC United is run. We’re proud of our democratic structure and also the number of members who volunteer and are actively involved in the club.???

FC board member Tom Stott said: “It was only in January that we celebrated our highest ever number of members, so to reach the 4,000 mark and a new high so soon is a real landmark for the club. Big thanks are due to everyone involved in our membership team, especially Michael, Brian and John, and of course to all of our members, new and old, for getting us to our new highest ever figure.???
