It’s now been 5 weeks since memberships for the 2023/24 season went on sale and we are delighted to announce we have smashed through the 1000 barrier.
FC United of Manchester is now 18 years into our historic journey to return football to the fans. With ownership models of football clubs under the spotlight more than ever, the collective strength that stems from our supporter-ownership model is more important than at any point in our journey so far.
The founding manifesto on which the club was built in 2005 is just as pertinent today:
This thing is truly ours and one of the ways that is expressed is in the renewal of our annual membership. For the sum of £25 for Adult Membership and £3 for Junior Membership, we get an opportunity to own our own football club. You don’t need to be a Saudi billionaire, a Russian oligarch or to have made a fortune flogging cheap sports gear, anyone can become a co-owner of this football club.
Most members are committed fans of FC United, but we encourage membership by anyone who believes in our aims and ethos. By putting supporters and community at the heart of our club, we're showing that fans can have a powerful say in the way football should be run. The more members we have, the louder our collective voice will be.
Let’s come together and turn 1000 into 2000 by the end of the month!
