FC UNITED will play UniBond One promotion hopefuls Woodley Sports in a friendly fixture at the Stockport side's Lambeth Grove ground tonight.

The Rebels' manager Karl Marginson arranged the game as last week's postponement and this weekend's blank schedule meant the team would have gone 16 days without playing ahead of the home game with Flixton on March 15.

Admission to the game will be £3 for adults and free for under-18s.

The fledgling club is also set to announce it will take on a third full-time member of staff.

They will shortly be advertising for a club development officer whose job will be develop the club's community links.

Meanwhile, FC United have released their first DVD, charting the first three months of their inaugural season.

The 93-minute disc shows highlights from the club's first 14 games, including 51 goals, and also carries a short film `The People vs Malcolm Glazer'.

The DVD is available for £12.99 from www.fc-utdshop.co.uk
