Leigh Manager wishes FC United well for coming season

There has been some adverse press comment in the aftermath of FC United’s opening match at Leigh RMI but Leigh’s manager Andy Nelson has thanked FC United for a great day at Hilton Park last Saturday and wished the club well for the coming season.

"There was a terrific atmosphere during the game which myself and the players thoroughly enjoyed. The FC United fans were understandably excited about watching their team run out in their first ever fixture and when some of that excitement threatened to get out of hand the prompt actions of FC United officials soon calmed things down.

We had a tremendous day and would like to extend our best wishes to FC United for the coming season."
