FC United of Manchester v Tamworth FC: National League North Saturday 23rd September.

FC United are due to play Tamworth FC at Broadhurst Park on Saturday 23rd September with a 3pm kick off with Manchester City playing crystal Palace at home on the same day.

FC United are in talks with Manchester City Council to allow us to lift certain restrictions around playing on the same day as Manchester City are at home and we still hope to be able to get the necessary paperwork completed in time for the Tamworth FC match. However, as the match is now only one month away we have spoken to Tamworth to agree a contingency date should it not be possible to play our fixture on the Saturday.

The club are mindful of a past supporter survey which stated that Fridays was the preferred option should a weekend match have to be moved. However, the emphasis in such circumstances is to agree a date that is also the most convenient for the away side and their supporters and Tamworth have requested a Sunday fixture if we cannot play on the Saturday.

We understand the frustration that many of you will feel with us not yet being in a position to confirm the date of the match and we assure you that as soon as details are confirmed we will make a further announcement but supporters should be mindful that the match could be played on either Saturday 23rd September or Sunday 24th September.

We are grateful to Tamworth FC and supporters of both sides for your understanding.
