If you've yet to watch FC United this is the ideal first game. A bumper gate, probably a record, the chance of a giant killing act and lots of noise ad colour which will mean one of the best atmospheres you're likely to experience at a football game .Following are the details:
As previously stated, the FA Cup sponsored by E.ON second round replay versus Brighton & Hove Albion will be played on Wednesday 8th December with kick-off at 7.45pm.For more infrmation visit the FC United website.

Turrrible, Turrrible, just Turrrrrrrrrrible unthinkable football happenings over here for me this weekend.
Did I read right...8 pounds a ticket?
Yes, £8. But FC United are a non-league amateur club equivalent to 4divisions below Brighton, who are a professional club in the English Div 1, 2 divisions down from the Premier League.
FC United were set up in 2005 when the Glazers took over Manchester United and put a £600m debt onto a previously debt free club. Many of us left United to join FC United.
To beat Brighton would be an amazing giant killing act.
Yes, you sent it twice, but I do similar all the time. I call it fat finger syndrome!!
More like fat head for me :0.
One of the few things I think I know about the EPL is that those who consider themselves "real" football fans...seem to hate Man U.
I guess it's the money...and there must be a bandwagon involved somewhere.
Good Luck with that FC United.
There's a great deal of jealousy about Manchester United. Even during the lean decades of the '70s and '80s we were the best supported club in England and attracted fans from all over the country, indeed the world.
People loved United, and our fans loyalty for that. But as soon as we hit success again in the '90s it turned to jealousy then, as the success continued, downright hatred.
For me I still love United but can't give my money to pay the Glazers' debt. Hence FC United of Manchester.
What sport/teams do you follow?
I am a fan of American College Football...in particular Southeastern Conference (the most hated/loved athletic organization in the US...for the same reasons you described...only it makes billions)...and specifically the Florida Gators (an especially hated team in the SEC).
The Conference won 5 National Championships in the last 10 years..including the last 4 (2 for the Gators) with three different teams. It has it's own national contract with a major network...and it is a peculiar Southern Institution. It's a very local product that is so good it's broadcast nationally.

If I wasn't careful that's all my blog would be about.
