FOOTBALL AND FANS UNITED

FC United is democratically owned and run as a
Community Benefit Society by in excess of 4,000
members. A club with one voice and one principle
goal – to give football back to the supporters and
the community.

Formed in 2005, we have become one of the
most talked about non-league clubs in football,
generating regional, national and worldwide
interest. Our website receives more than 6 million
hits each year and we have over a million followers
on social media.

Our ground, Broadhurst Park, opened in 2015
and is one of the UK’s newest football grounds
and the first new ground to be built and funded
by a supporter-owned football club. It is a 4,400
capacity ground with a stunning function room
overlooking the pitch available for the local
community, businesses and other organisations
to hire.

We have a wide range of sponsorship and
advertising opportunities structured to suit
a variety of needs and budgets. We offer the
opportunity for organisations and individuals to
support a truly unique football club that puts the
fans and the community at the centre of everything
we do.
