Membership - Your Club, Your Rules

Your club?

Have you renewed / applied to become a member of FC United of Manchester? Your club, your rules. Only by being a member can you seek to make those rules. Your membership, your vote, your club.

By being a member you can ensure you have your say in the big things and little things that make this club of ours what it is.

You elect the board, vote on policy, vote on the shirt and whether we change it. Ticket prices are set by you, you vote on whether or not the shirt stays sponsor free. These and other issues are what you as a member has the right to influence the outcome of.

Your vote, your voice.

These votes and the members’ participation in them determine how this club of ours develops. Members recently voted on the introduction of a new shirt. When did you last hear of a club asking the fans to design its new shirt for them? Member Ian Knott not only got to design the shirt but to fly out and see the first one being made.

By being a member you are an equal owner in this club. We will never again suffer seeing our club bought / taken away from us.

The work FC do in the community, People United Day, Youth United Day, and work we do with junior football clubs are projects that we can all be proud of and are made possible by the way the club is structured.

Our junior members, although not having a vote or ownership due to age constraints, have their voice heard through the junior member’s scheme. A board member has been allocated to work with the junior’s so their thoughts and concerns can be more directly heard.

An annual fee of £10 for adults and £3 for juniors is all it takes to have a direct influence on how your club progresses.

This year we have encouraged our members to receive the bulk of their member’s information via email so as to service this membership more efficiently and cost effectively. We hope this will result in freeing up more money to take this club where you want it going in achieving our dreams and aims.

You’re a member? Have you thought of the other members of your family who may not be? Every member has the same influence and voting rights. How about your wife, husband and children? All of them have the right to be members and make a contribution to your clubs future.

It’s easy to become a member and you can do it today using the online application process (see below), by e-mailing membership@fc-utd.uk or by sending a cheque payable to FC United or your debit/credit card details to: Membership, FC United of Manchester, 221 Ducie House, 37 Ducie St, Manchester, M1 2JW.

The online application process is really simple to use. If you haven’t yet registered, do so at http://www.fcapps.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ctl=Register. Once registered (or if you’re already registered), login at http://www.fcapps.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ctl=login.
