***AWAY TRAVEL - FA TROPHY 1ST ROUND - FCUM***

The supporters club will be looking to provide away travel to our FA Trophy 1st Round game at FCUM on Saturday 13 December.

The cost will be £10 for Adults and £5 for under 18's.

I will be in the 1919 before and after tonight's game against Thackley and also before and after the BPA game on Saturday. You can also reserve your place on here, on the unofficial supporters facebook page or by phone on 07989 969 575.

As previous, payment upfront is preffered but not required.

Minimum of 40 is required for the coach to run.

Cheers

Jordan

It is likely that the departure times will be

FCUM - 11:45
Barwell -10:30

The way the roads are to Stalybridge at the moment I'd reccomend setting off earlier than that if if you are after a beer when you get there, the club house gets full and the pub next door closed last year, that's obviously assuming we win tonight.

What makes you think that our fans like a drink?!? ;-)

Good response last night with 16 out of the 128 fans there booking on to the coach.

Jordan, I may be on now!

Got a work Xmas function on the same day, so may just sack that and come to the football!!!

Hope the coach is a success, but if FCUM win the train isn't a bad option, Stalybridge has a famous station refreshment room, much admired by real ale drinkers I believe, and its an easy walk to the ground from there.
Now all they have to do is win!

It's a no brainer mate - just let me know.

Will do.

The train is quicker than by car, £16 return last time we did it a few weeks ago.

The Station Buffet is always rammed when we are at home, plenty of decent real ale boozers in the town though, it's a fair walk up that hill if there are a few of you it works out about a quid each in a cab.

Do you live in Harrogate 7eric7? Are you going this evening?

Yes, there are five of us who go from Harrogate when we can, four of us have season tickets the other one is an old bugger who goes about four or five games a season and the odd away.

I couldn't get out of work early enough for tonight, but a couple of our lot have gone from work in Leeds.

If you live in Harrogate, why do you follow FCUM? Come and watch us instead!!!!

Cheers...anyone got a link to listen online?

FCUM Radio is on the TuneIn radio app for phones / iPads. The commentary is often entertaining and features 'Swampy' off the 5 Live Non League football show. The match build up has already started.

I do a couple of times a season, I watch FC because I'm a founder member and co-owner.

Ah, well all I can say is good on you for making a stand and doing something about it. Hopefully FCUM will come through tonight and we can have a very competitive game on the 13th. Any news on the new stadium yet?

Barwell winning 1-0 at half time. Both teams down to 10 men.

FCUM come back from 2-0 to win 3-2 with a last minute winner.

A trip to Stalybridge awaits.

They actually scored twice in the 90th min. Att 505 !!!

Personally I'm not sure we will be in much before the end of the season, these are the latest set of pictures [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and video [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The major problem has been the St Marys Road stand, which if you didn't know is the old terrace from Northwich Victoria's ground, we were having work done on it to adapt it to our dimensions and the firm went bust, it's about a quarter up now but of course we are into the bad weather.

Dont expect too much off us on the pitch either, we really aren't playing well this season.

Congratulations on the result last night. It seemed like quite a good game, with 2 late goals doing the business.

I'm sure the game on the 13th will be just as, if not more competitive.

Yes, they did it! Left it late, but never mind, a day out to remember awaits us in 9 days time. Excited? Who me? Barwell would have been too far for me, but Staly is easy (especially from Leeds). Really looking forward to this one. One of my happiest Town memories is our previous meeting at Gigg Lane, Rory Coleman's wonder goal (whatever happened to him?).

FCUM are a great example of a fan owned club, been stuck in the NPL for quite a while now.

If anyone is interested, the goals
