Protect and grow with your matchday programme

Football is a big part of our lives, but sometimes it is fair to say that people lose track of what is truly important in the grander scheme of things. FC United is about football, but it is also about a lot more and the community report the club is set to release in the near future highlights some of the amazing things we have all achieved, which includes improving the lives of many people less fortunate than ourselves. We have some highlights from the report in Saturday’s matchday programme and even the coldest of hearts will be thawed by the kindness of the content.

Keeping the theme of perspective alive, United veteran Tom Stott has penned a lovely piece about why FC United is the club it is and why people should remember what they have and cherish it, even when their ire is high. This club is ours to protect and grow. Well said Tom.

We have a statistical half-term report delivered by Paul Hinson, which makes for interesting reading. Just how much has Nicky Platt’s goal tally risen this season compared to last? Find out on Saturday.

Supporters Direct chief executive David Lampitt delivers his new year’s message and we have all the usual news, match report (just the one), three-page away team section, stats and another Red braves Meet the Owners. All this for just £2.
