Looks very nice. It will be interesting to see how far FCUM can go.

WOW, check out these grants !




Paul Thorogood, Chief Executive of the Football Foundation, added: "I am delighted that a Football Foundation grant of £500,000, alongside a £150,000 grant from our partner organisation the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF), will enable FC United of Manchester to build fantastic new facilities for the club and for the community."

I believe they had to raise a fair bit of cash to put towards it

The initial article says £2million in local community investment, we have bigger attendances than FCUM so they must be doing something right in the community because I couldn't see us getting that from a share scheme.

Their development websites suggests £210,000 has been raised in terms of fundraising, with a goal of £500k.

Either way they seem to have got a couple of million out of the Council or from another source? Assuming that's what the difference is.

According to the Evostik website they have bigger attendances than us.

Might be wrong I was under the impression they had dropped to c. 1,200 at home. Not sure why I thought that mind!

Not quite dropped that far yet, however they do seem to be on an alarming slide!
