FC United of Manchester v Brackley Town
FC United of Manchester recorded their first win in the National League North in their new home of Broadhurst Park back on August 22.
Nearly 3,000 fans were in attendance for what was an exciting match with the hosts coming through on a beautiful summer's day.
The visitors took the lead early on through Steve Diggin before FCUM stormed into a 3-1 lead by the 70th minute with goals from Matt Wolfenden, Sam Madeley and Tom Greaves. A late David Mayo goal for Brackley with less than 10 minutes to go ensured a nervy finish but FC United held on to raise the roof at the new stadium.
Broadhurst Park in Moston was completed in May this year with a capacity of 4,400. The first competitive fixture at the stadium was a 1-2 loss to local rivals Stockport County following a 0-1 friendly loss to Portuguese giants Benfica to open the stadium.
FC United sit mid-table and face a struggle to get into the play offs in this their first season in the National League North.
