We are pleased to announce that the Development Fund (DF) has now raised £25,925 this Financial Year, including £6,205 raised in October - We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has made a donation.
The DF was established to allocate funds to be used specifically for the build and development of our own football ground. Between 2007 and 2016, we raised £1,139,441 - a fantastic achievement that is a testament to the passion, dedication and generosity of FC United supporters. The money raised between 2007 and 2016 was used to help build and develop Broadhurst Park.
There are still areas of the ground that need to be developed further. We have set a fundraising target for this season of £114,740 and with your help we can get there.
