Familiar faces in your matchday programme

Tuesday’s matchday programme features some old faces in keeping with the visit of Ashton, who’s squad is a who’s who of former FC players.

Steve Wood has had a mither with Grant Shenton, who’s short United career included a clean sheet in our fantastic play-off semi-final victory at Bradford Park Avenue a couple of seasons back.

Our pen pics include former luminaries such as Chris Baguley, Ben Deegan, Chris Amadi, Kyle Harrop and of course super striker Aaron Burns.

Speaking of old friends, our Belfast comrades Cliftonville have had a cracking season, as Simon Rowbotham reveals, and they are looking forward to Champions League football next term.

We have a preview of the club’s forthcoming general meeting with all the resolutions and members’ votes detailed, plus the short list of designs for a potential new home shirt are revealed.

We also introduce the supporters who are running for the board. There are six varied and equally dedicated people to chose from, so read what their opinions are on a host of subjects. Then vote for your favourites...

We have a lovely Meet the Owners with a man who fell in love with United during a trip to Old Trafford as a lad in the late 1940s.

Furthermore, we have the usual match reports, away team round up with Craig Phillips’ up-to-date form guide, stats and great pictures from our ace snappers.

All for £2. Still...
