Talk about an amazing coincidence,

FC United the team founded by disgruntled Man U supporters upset by the Glazers takeover played in the FA Cup preliminary rounds over the weekend. The club, now in the Unibond Div 1 Nth, on level four of the pyramid, beat Trafford FC 5-2 to progress to the qualifying round proper. Their opponents in that game will be Fleetwood Town.

Over a century ago, Newton Heath FC's first ever game in the FA Cup was also against Fleetwood Town.

If they manage to win six more games in the competition they could be drawn against the Reds.

Jim.
