FC United given League go-ahead
16:35 Monday June 20th 2005
FC United of Manchester established by disheartened Manchester United fans has been given the go-ahead by the North West Counties League for next season.
The club will join the Second Division of the League and play at Droylsden FC's Butcher's Arms Ground, subject to council approval.
The stadium has a capacity of 3,500.
FC United are interviewing potential managers and will hold an open trial for players on June 26th.
More than 2,600 disgruntled Manchester United fans have already pledged money and help to the new club.
The fans are fighting Malcolm Glazer's takeover of the Red Devils but are not likely to have much effect on his plans as he controls 97.3% of Manchester United.
