The story of FC United of Manchester gets more intriguing every season. The better they do in the league, the more media coverage they get and the bigger the club gets.

The fans have no problem with this. Their problem is being told by the Football Association when to play games without consultation and though they can attempt to fight England’s governing body, I’m afraid it is a losing battle.

As we have seen in the past, the FA doesn’t care that away supporters may not be able to get home after games and will schedule a team to play at 5.30pm or 8pm on a weekday, hundreds of miles up the road.
