BBC Sport features FC United ahead of FA Cup clash

BBC Sport features FC United ahead of FA Cup clashIn a great publicity coup for the club ahead of the FA Cup First Round Qualifying tie against Prescot Cables on Sunday, FC United was featured on BBC1’s Saturday Sportsday programme.

In a feature titled "FC United fans make the difference" the report highlighted the club’s punk football spirit and includes footage of our new ground at Broadhurst Park and film of our midweek game against Matlock Town in the Evostik Northern Premier League. Interviews with team manager Karl Marginson, general manager Andy Walsh and FC United supporters make for interesting and inspiring viewing and represent excellent publicity for the club.

The report was shown on the BBC News Channel on Friday evening and also aired on BBC1 at 12.50pm on Saturday 13 September in their Saturday Sportsday show which generally attracts around one million viewers.

You can also view an online version of the feature on the BBC Sport website here.

There is also an excellent article on FC on the BBC Sport website here which is well worth a read.
