Our Men’s First Team Manager Neil Reynolds has volunteered to work the turnstile, so if you’ve always wanted to ask him about why he no longer wears a suit – this is your chance!

Our turnstiles are operated by volunteers; we would appreciate supporters arriving at the ground in time for kick-off so that the volunteers can finish as early as possible. If you would like to register an interest in working the turnstile for a game, please contact our volunteer coordinator laura.bagley@fc-utd.uk or ring the office 0161 769 2005.
