FC United of Manchester

A thank you and some insights on partnerships..... Inspired by Richard Hall with his recent 'Thank You Thursdays', I wanted to put out a big thank you and highlight the great work this year by Paul Haworth. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Paul on the Clothes2Order x FC United of Manchester partnership launched in September. It's the first major sponsorship we've done, and Paul's tireless work in making it a success has been outstanding. We've got more exciting details to come in the new year, but in just a few months we've worked together to upgrade the workwear of the groundstaff and hospitality teams, launch a new ball crew uniform and yesterday the launch of a brand new range of on demand fan merchandise #FCUM. This new range looks incredible thanks to Paul, Danny Davis and the team at FC, alongside Dan Brown and Lauren Siddall on the C2O side for making it happen. Link in the comments to see what has been created. This has shown me what a partnership can be. It's far more than putting your logo on something (although that's something we're very good at of course 😂). We've loved the opportunity to get involved at the club, support on community initiatives and work together where we can to supply workwear and merchandise to uplift the look and feel of all the off pitch teams. If you're a marketer looking for sponsorship opportunities next year here are my key takeaways: Make sure your values align. People matter. Will you enjoy working together? Partnership does not just equal advertising exposure. How can you work with each other deeply? Thank you again Paul, Merry Christmas, and here's to good festive period on and off the pitch for all at FCUM.

In celebration of FC United’s 20th anniversary, we’re thrilled to unveil three brand-new clothing ranges, packed with exclusive designs and high-quality products which has been launched alongside one of our key partners and supporters Clothes2Order The club would like to thank Paul Haworth Danny Davis and the rest of the staff at FC United for their hard work in getting this to launch.

Club Response to Manchester United Ticket Price Announcement

‼️🔴⚫Please support Emily Walton on her road to recovery🔴⚫‼️ ACL Injuries in Women's football is a crisis & unfortunately our player Emily has suffered a grade 3 ACL injury & an injury to the medial meniscus that requires reconstruction surgery. As we all know, ACL injuries are incredibly challenging and can take time and resources to recover from with female players 8 times more likely to suffer an ACL injury than male players, this injury is depriving some of the best talents in the women's game from doing the thing they love most... playing football! Now, Emily is calling on us...her community, her fans, and those who believe in & support women's sports to help her get back on her feet. The cost of surgery, rehabilitation, and recovery is significant, and she's launched a fundraiser to help cover these expenses. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Emily has always been a fighter on the pitch, and we know she’ll bring that same determination to her recovery. Let’s show her how strong the support is from her fans, teammates, and everyone who believes in women’s football. Please if you can, donate & share as much as possible to help Emily overcome this challenge! Thank you.
