SCORE WITH
May 2015 and external works near completion in readiness for the visit of Benfica
the ship (notably Andy Walsh, FC United’s General Manager) and the sheer number of people that have become involved. When a group of like-minded individuals take a hard look at their situation and decide they can collectively change things for the better, it's a powerful force - and backs my long held view that a club is not about buildings, a club is about people. Having thrived for ten years without a place to call home, Broadhurst Park is now the icing on the FC United cake, not the foundation of it. In ten years, FC United have
evolved from ‘a chat in a pub’ to arguably the highest profile social enterprise in the country, and such an example of democracy in action has led to suggestions they are more a political movement than a football club. With their morals and their passion, their personalities and their songs, they do tread a fine line between the two. In truth, I think they can be accepted as both.
Also, in the interests of balance, I should make the point that, whilst the supporter owned model is working well at FC United, I suspect it is much easier with 4,000 co-owners than say, ten men and a dog in a less fashionable geographical area of the country. And geography is key to this
story because, to my mind, this project wouldn’t have succeeded quite this well anywhere except Manchester.
With a long history of political engagement and a deeply ingrained civic pride, Mancunians have always displayed a fierce combination of passion and defiance. Throw in the motivation to stand up for something they believe in and you’ve got the perfect ingredients for a football revolution. FCUM indeed!
