FC United records highest ever membership figures

FC United now has 3,600 members, the highest number of co-owners in the club’s history. The previous highest figure was 3,574 in 2010/11, during FC’s epic FA Cup run season and the current high is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work of FC United staff and volunteers, in particular the membership team, led by FC United board member Tom Stott.

FC United general manager Andy Walsh said: “Achieving the highest number of members in our ten-year history is a magnificent achievement. It shows the loyalty and dedication of our co-owners and is further proof that supporter ownership is a successful model that offers a real and viable alternative to the current way that football is run. Our membership team, led by Tom Stott, have played a crucial role in this achievement and I want to thank them on behalf of everyone at the club for their unstinting efforts in achieving the record figure.???

Tom Stott said: “It was only a few weeks ago that we started targeting the 3,500 figure and once we exceeded that we knew that our highest ever number of members was a distinct possibility. We’re delighted that we have now achieved this landmark and it’s especially fitting in our tenth anniversary year. I want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved in our membership team, especially Michael, Brian and John, and to all of our members, old and new, for helping us achieve our highest ever figure.???

Tom said that the team were now focused on targeting previous co-owners who may have let their membership lapse, as well as looking for new members from those people whose interest in the club has been sparked by the club’s success so far this season and the recent publicity FC United has been getting for its achievements.
