Update on the development of the St. Mary's Road End.

We are pleased to announce that FC United have received planning permission for development under the St Mary’s Road End Stand. This is great news for the Club and the local community.

We have been granted planning permission for a multi-functional space. There were no objections to the planning permission – which is testament to the positive impact the Club has had on the local community and the potential for the community to benefit from this development.



The Club is now reviewing the options for how to fund and execute this development.

The Club had applied to Power to Change (“PTC???) for a grant to develop under the St. Mary’s Road End Stand. However, PTC have confirmed they are not offering a grant to the Club at this stage. PTC are still positive about the benefits of the Club’s proposal and have suggested we reapply for funding in October (by which time the Club will have a new settled board in place).

In the meantime, the Club is exploring other funding options to initially develop the space so that it meets the required health and safety standards and can continue to be open on match days.

The Club will keep members informed and will consult members once the options have been fully considered and there is a workable proposal.

If any members believe they can help with the development then please contact the Club office initially on 0161 769 2005 or email office@fc-utd.uk
