Today's match sponsors

We're very fortunate to have the amazing FC United Stockport Supporters branch sponsor today's game, funded by from the profits made on away coach travel.

The branch organise coach travel to most away matches outside Greater Manchester, picking up in Stockport,Chorlton Street and Broadhurst Park.

Once again, six pre-match dining places that come with the Sponsorship Package are being enjoyed by fans who have travelled on away coaches this season. Names were chosen in a ballot.

The branch are also purchasing a new deep fat fryer for the chip cabin as the current one is in need of replacement and profit from football cards were used to purchase divot replacement forks for James Deadman our Groundsman.

Your support of the away coaches is greatly appreciated, with the advantage that you are helping OUR club.
