The FC United stadium in Moston has got a lot of press coverage in north Manchester of late.
You can hardly fail to notice that something is going on in Moston – whether you’re in favour of it or not.
I think it’s also fair to say that, whatever your views on the stadium, the club themselves do a lot of work in the community.
Club bosses are now working with Greater Manchester Police, the council and other bodies to create a ‘good neighbours’ scheme.
Their volunteers will visit an older person who may be struggling with day to day tasks. They can visit once a week to help out with whatever is required, such as visits to the shops or the post office, DIY or just to come around for a brew and a
chat.
To arrange for a visit from a volunteer, or to become a volunteer, contact Michael Holdsworth or Robin Pye at the FC United office on 0161 273 8950.

Pensioner ‘is likely to make full recovery’ after Shaw zebra crossing crash that killed wife
Source: MEN
A pensioner who suffered terrible injuries in a car crash that killed his wife is expected to make a full recovery. Police say Raymond Steele, 65, is recovering well after being hit by a car on a zebra crossing – although he remains in hospital. His wife Lynn, 60, died in the accident. The pair were hand in hand on a zebra crossing on Milnrow Road in Shaw, Oldham, when they were hit by a Toyota Yaris. Mrs Steele suffered fatal injuries and died in hospital. Her husband was sedated and was in a critical condition at Salford Royal Hospital all last week. He started to recover over the weekend and now he is said to be sitting up in hospital and doing well. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "He’s made a significant recovery and there’s a good chance he’s going to make a full recovery now." Meanwhile, police have interviewed the driver of the Yaris under caution. It is understood she remained at the scene following the collision. She has not been arrested. One line of enquiry is that she may have been dazzled by the low sun at the time of the incident, 3pm on January 16. The Steeles, who moved to Shaw from Rochdale six years ago, were on their way back from booking a holiday when the tragedy happened. Eyewitnesses have told how the couple were holding hands as they crossed the road. Paying tribute last week, their daughter Sarah said her mother was ‘young at heart’ and ‘will be sadly missed by all of her family’. Mrs Steele was retired but stayed active by swimming, cycling, and walking. Mr Steele is a fan of FC United. Sarah said they were a loving couple and doted on their grandchildren, Jessica, and Georgina. Police are investigating and anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 0161 856 8473.

Plans For New £4.5m Stadium Move Forward
Source: Build.co.uk
Plans for a new £4.5 million football stadium in North Manchester with facilities which will benefit the wider community are moving forwards.
Members of Manchester City Council's Executive were updated on the progress of the ambitious scheme.
A feasibility study into FC United's proposal to create a new home for the club - working in partnership with Moston Juniors FC - at Ronald Johnson Playing Fields in Moston has concluded that the site is suitable for development.
The project had already received planning permission on 27 October, subject to a number of conditions designed to maximise community benefit and manage any impact on parking and traffic being met.
The plan is to create a 5,000-capacity stadium with a full-sized artificial turf pitch and two junior-sized grass pitches for use by both clubs and the community.
It will also involve the creation of a new landscaped public space for community and school events and a clubhouse with multi-functional spaces, including educational facilities, for use by local groups and young people as well as supporters.
FC United working with Moston Juniors FC - one of the biggest amateur junior football clubs in Manchester with 21 affiliated teams - are also committed to increasing sporting participation in the area as well and doing other sports-based outreach work in the community.

£500,000 loan for FC United
DESPITE money troubles of its own, Manchester CIty Council is offering a £500,000 loan to FC United. It was recently discovered the football club did not have enough money to fund its new £4.5million stadium in Moston, prompting the council to intervene. Residents have raised concerns over the move, believing it is a mistake for both the council and the club.

Rebel football club FC United can get a loan of up to £500,000 from cash-strapped Manchester council.
Town hall chiefs stepped in after it emerged the club had failed to raise enough money to pay for a controversial new £4.5m stadium in Moston.
They have promised to bridge a funding gap of about £200,000 and cover any overspend on the 5,000-capacity ground on the Ronald Johnson Playing Fields – if the club needs the money.
But people opposing the building of the stadium are furious.
Campaigner Mike Pattillo said: "It’s not the place for the council to be financing a semi-professional football club and it feels like a kick in the teeth. We feel that the council have gone against the wishes of the vast majority of people who live here and the fact we’ll end up paying for it makes it worse."
Another resident, who did not wish to be named, said: "There’s also the huge irony of the fans setting up FC United in response to the huge debt the Glazers placed Manchester United under when they took over. Who is the guarantor of this money and what happens if they default or go bust?"
Campaigners have protested against the stadium plan being built on precious green space. They also say an existing covenant on the land prohibits it being used for such a purpose, and are worried it will bring an increase in anti-social behaviour and traffic problems.
FC United plan to raise £1.6m through a community share scheme but so far only £1.4m has been pledged by fans. Council bosses said the loan would be repaid in full with interest at no cost to the taxpayer. The offer of the loan comes on top of a £750,000 grant the council is making towards the stadium.
FC United have relaunched the share scheme and made it clear they want to raise the extra £200,000 themselves.
As part of the plans, Moston Juniors FC – who currently lease the site from Manchester council – will be given youth pitches inside the new development and a third pitch at Boggart Hole Clough in Blackley. There will also be an artificial pitch, and a public medical room managed by club physiotherapists .
Mike Amesbury, from the council, said: "Any loan to FC United would be at commercial rates, with interest, and not cost the council or council taxpayers a penny. What it would do is enable this important development to go ahead, with all the social and economic benefits that will bring. The partnership between FC United and Moston Juniors will not only result in around £4.5m of new investment in the area, it will also create the basis for an excellent sporting hub in North Manchester."
Andy Walsh, FC United's general manager, said: "Our members have already raised over £2m to bring this project forward. We are now going to work hard to close the gap so we don't have to draw on any borrowing."

Comment: Now is not the time to lend or be saddled with a big debt
Source: MEN
One can understand a certain anger in Moston at the discovery that Manchester council has made provision to lend £500,000 towards the building of FC United’s new stadium.
Many residents who objected to the plans for the 5,000-capacity stadium now see the prospect of their council tax being given over not just in grant funding, but also in this potential loan to the club.
Undoubtedly, some people living in Moston did support this grand plan, but the objectors felt that many of those campaigning in favour of the stadium came not just from outside Moston but outside Manchester. Those objectors will feel a further sense of injustice that ‘out-of-towners’ will also now benefit if this loan option is taken up by FC United if the club is unable to raise enough through its community share scheme.
Storm as Manchester council offers FC United a £500k loan towards new Moston stadium
That said, this stadium should be an enhancement to Moston. Regeneration has gone hand- in-hand with sport in Manchester; that is beyond dispute. And a population with such problems of chronic ill-health and obesity – particularly among children – needs all the sporting opportunities it can get.
Let us not forget that the FC United stadium directly benefits Moston Juniors FC, which gets youth pitches in the development, and the wider community who will be encouraged to get involved in activities at this new public space.
But should a council still reeling from a disastrous cut in its grant from central government really be investing in a comparatively new football club?
This will be a loan given at commercial rates of interest, yes, but you do not have to go far to find long-established football clubs unable to pay their debts.
Would the prudent solution be to wait until FC United raises this cash through its own share scheme?
This will avoid the need to take up the council’s offer of the loan and allow the club to move forward without the burden of debt.

Manchester Council’s £500,000 bail out for FC United's new stadium in Moston
Source: North and East Manchester Advertiser
Cash-strapped Manchester council has agreed to lend FC United up to £500,000 to build their controversial new ground.
Town hall chiefs stepped in after it emerged the club had failed to raise enough money to pay for the £4.5m stadium in Moston.
FC United planned to have generated £1.6m through a community share scheme towards the cost. But so far only £1.4m has been pledged by fans.
Now the council has stepped in with a promise to bridge the funding gap if the extra money is not raised.
The town hall will also cover any overspend, up to a limit of £500,000 – provided the club comes up with a ‘robust’ plan to pay the money back, with interest.
The promise comes on top of a £750,000 grant the council is already making towards the stadium. Council bosses stressed the money would be a loan, to be repaid in full, that would guarantee an ‘important’ development could go ahead.
Mike Patillo, who campaigned against the stadium, said: "I think it’s amazing that they can find half a million pounds when they’ve cut Sure Start budgets and they are closing down libraries."
The loan was agreed at a meeting of the town hall’s exectuve committee this week. Councillors also agreed to lease the club the land, on Ronald Johnson Playing Fields, for rent of £1 per year. FC United have made it clear they still want to raise the extra £200,000 themselves.
They have relaunched the community share scheme, which gives local people the chance to invest in the club. The stadium, which has proved highly divisive, was granted planning permission in October.
Mike Amesbury, the council’s executive member for culture and leisure, said: "Any loan to FC United would be at commercial rates, with interest, and not cost the council or council taxpayers a penny.
"What it would do is enable this important development to go ahead. The partnership between FC United and Moston Juniors, one of the largest junior football clubs in Manchester will create the basis for an excellent sporting hub in North Manchester. "
Andy Walsh, general manager of FC United, said: "The club welcomes the decision of the executive committee. There is still an outstanding grant from the Football Foundation to be processed.
"There is still a way to go but we are confident that we can raise the money needed to provide much-needed investment in Moston."

Defender’s Church Lane return
Source: Buxton Advertiser
DEFENDER Nick Swirad has re-signed for New Mills AFC.
After trying his luck at Mossley and Ashton United, making only a handful of appearances, the 2010/11 Manager and Players’ Player of the Season has decided to return to Church Lane.
A product of the youth academy at FC United of Manchester, Swirad, 20, also played for Rossendale before joining the Millers, helping them to the North West Counties League title.
Swirad, who was expected to have been included in the Millers squad to face Brigg Town last weekend, was ineligible to play at Irlam on Tuesday after featuring for Ashton in an earlier round of The Manchester FA Premier Cup.

Street and Read emerge heroes as Boro celebrate win
FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER 1
STAFFORD RANGERS 2
STAFFORD Rangers stunned promotionchasing FC United of Manchester with a much improved performance at Gigg Lane to return home with all three points.
Rangers were forced into one change from the side beaten by Hednesford Town on Bank Holiday Monday. Harry Clayton was laid low with tonsillitis and his place was taken by Jon Sheldon.
Boro boss Greg Clowes chose a 4-5-1 formation to match their high-flying opponents and it certainly worked with United intent on building slowly and being stifled by Rangers’ hard-working midfield.
Rangers went close in the 17th minute when Sheldon’s inswinging corner dropped onto the roof of the net. On 27 minutes, a cross from Sheldon was almost turned into his own net by Adam Jones.
Three minutes later, Rangers were celebrating as they took the lead. A fine through ball from former United midfielder Michael Carr picked out Peter Heler who hit a fierce shot which James Spencer found too hot to handle and the ball flew past the home keeper and into the net.
Things got even better for the Rangers four minutes before the break when they doubled their lead with one of the goals of the season.
Rangers were awarded a free-kick outside the area. Carr delivered the ball into Ryan Dicker who had found space and the centre-back flicked the ball off his heel and into the top corner.
United bounced straight back and Kevin Street was on hand to chest a volley from Mike Norton off the line.
Rangers started the second half in the same positive light with United bringing on Carlos Roca after 53 minutes to add some pace into a lethargic performance.
United were gifted a glorious chance on the hour when a diabolical back pass from Luke George failed to reach Danny Read. Norton nipped in, rounded Read and was then brought down in the penalty area by Dicker.
Dicker, somewhat surprisingly, was only shown a yellow card and to compound matters for the home side, Read pulled off an excellent penalty save for the second game running to thwart Roca.
United were building up a head of steam and Read was again called into action to save from Ben Deegan who was allowed a free-header in the six-yard box.
The home side eventually pulled a goal back 16 minutes from time. Roca’s corner was met by Jones whose header was well saved by Read but the rebound fell to Norton who nodded home.
Rangers were again indebted to Street in the 82nd minute. Another corner from Roca was headed goalwards by Jones and Street was on hand to clear off the line.
The ball came out to Norton whose volley was deflected for a corner. As hard as the home side pressed, Rangers held on to record an excellent victory.

Stafford stun big-spenders
Source: This is Staffordshire
A TIRELESS display from Neville Thompson helped Stafford Rangers to a thrilling victory over promotion hopefuls FC United.
And although the targetman was not among the goals at Gigg Lane, manager Greg Clowes praised his efforts after naming Thompson as his sole striker to face the big-spending Mancunians.
On-loan Crewe forward Harry Clayton pulled out of the squad with a bout of tonsillitis leaving the Rangers boss with few options.
"When you are up there on your own it's difficult because you have to occupy two centre-halves but Neville did very, very well," Clowes admitted.
"But I will be working even harder this week to bring strikers in.
"We have made three offers for three players. Last week was a frustrating week and losing Harry Clayton did not help."
Peter Heler handed Stafford a 31st-minute lead with a well-taken goal that saw him latch on to Matthew Bell's perfect pass.
Defender Ryan Dicker doubled the lead with a clever back-heel just before the break, prompting more praise from the manager.
"As centre-halves go, Ryan Dicker is a lad who can play football and it was a lovely finish," added Clowes. "He's not one of those ugly central defenders."
United came more into the game after the break, but keeper Danny Read denied them on the hour when he kept out a Carlos Roca penalty.
Mike Norton finally netted from close range on 74 minutes but this proved just a consolation for the home side as they suffered their first home defeat since October.
NANTWICH Town are expecting their young striker Ben Mills to complete his move to Macclesfield Town this week.
A small initial fee has been agreed between the clubs for 22-year-old Mills, who is discussing personal terms with Macc manager Gary Simpson.
Nantwich boss Jimmy Quinn, who has recently spent extra time with Mills on the training ground, said: "It would be a great opportunity for the lad and great for the club because we are producing players for Football League clubs, but Ben has a lot of hard work to do."
Potteries-based Mills was left out of the Nantwich side that drew 1-1 with Mickleover Sports at the Weaver Stadium on Saturday, but Quinn said they would aim to replace him.
The player who took over from Mills up front, regular centre-back Mat Bailey, scored the goal that gave Nantwich the lead after 40 minutes but Mickleover levelled through Alex Steadman 10 minutes from time.
Nantwich had Darren Moss sent off early in the second half for a sliding tackle while Steadman also saw red for a second bookable offence.
