Help with FC United Ball Crew and Mascots

Help with FC United Ball Crew and MascotsWe would like to appeal for additional support to assist our volunteers responsible for the FC United ball crew and the matchday mascots, especially for the Stockport Match.

We would like to appeal for additional support to assist Chris Boulderstone and her small team of volunteers who are responsible for the FC United ball crew and the matchday mascots (who are all FC United Junior Members).

The current team 4 can sometimes feel stretched and with no possibility for any rotation, so additional help with be very much appreciated.

We have an immediate requirement for help at the Stockport County match on Friday 12th August, as 3 of the 4 volunteers are on holiday.

We need to ensure that all the ball crew are looked after as well as running the mascot scheme.



As you can imagine, leading the team out as a mascot in one of the biggest matches of the season will live long in memory of the selected Junior Members and their families. I’m sure none of us would want them to miss out, just because we haven’t got enough volunteers to help out.

As you will appreciate, volunteering in this capacity will require an FA DBS Enhanced CRC check (criminal record check), and this will need to be done in advance of the match on 12th August. We understand these checks will cost the volunteer £10, however Chris will advise what is required.

Once the relevant checks have been made, you can then volunteer for as many games as you wish. The more volunteers we have on board the more we can rotate between matches.

Please show your support to our Junior Members and lend a hand.

If you are interested in helping out please email Chris at the earliest convenience at chrisb@fc-utd.co.uk or telephone the office on 0161 769 2005.
