[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

well done to both clubs on promotion.

Well done Bristol city on promotion if we are congratulating random clubs on promotion

Indeed!

Congratulations Bromley, the league table doesn't lie, etc, etc.

just waiting for fcum to float and be bought by some yank....

when they get into the conference or even the conf N they'll start to face all the things they said they were against.....

and their sanctimonious our way is best preaching about trust run clubs makes me sick.....ironically it would be possible for 5,000 city fans to join their trust and then vote to close it down....that's democracy!

My concern with FC United is that they are now at a level where they may have a major impact upon our ability to recruit players.

Once they move into their own ground and generate revenue for themselves (as opposed to Bury or Stalybridge), I expect they will be able to assemble a better squad by paying better wages and maybe one good enough to be knocking on the door of the Conference. The 'band-wagon' starts again in August after 5 years of 'treading water' and as such they may be a more attractive prospect than us from a players perspective.
There is some sense in the argument that the sooner they make the FL the better.

Got promoted and if they get promoted to the confernce national and got to football league 2 before we do we will never hear the end of it

not on this forum anyway

To be honest I'm not arsed

[Ashley Alty]

Excellent JTH 

[Hale Alty]

We care already competing with Halifax, Southport, Guiseley, Barrow and a whole host of others for players. I can't see FC United making any difference. Their biggest problem is getting their member supports to agree the kind of admission price increases they are going to need to compete effectively.

Just to put their glorious victory on Tuesday evening into some sort of context, I note that the Stourbridge team contained the quasi-legendary Brian Smikle:

Tut tut Barry ! The team INCLUDED Smikle.....FC United probably CONTAINED him with minimum difficulty 

[Ballers]

Is Chris Lynch their captain?

I do believe that Dean Stott is their captain.

Don't forget the revenue from their unique and completely un-derivative merchandising brand.

Brand wise they're head and shoulders about 95% of clubs, but having said that they began in the modern era and have a narrative to tell so it'd be a major concern if they didn't have a strong brand and merchandise department

Easiest gig in the world for FC UTD branding department
