FC score 5 against Bamber Bridge

A power cut across north Manchester, Salford and even at the Reebock in Bolton delayed the start by half an hour. But when you're in the ranks of the armchair army you find other distractions. This is the President's Cup, so it shouldn't rate as a priority when your chasing promotion at No.2 in the league. But a win is a win especially when it's against Bamber Bridge who are chasing a promotion place as well. Four goals in the first half, and one in the second. The result that will count is in 18 days time when FC United visit the Irongate Ground to play Bamber Bridge in the league.

Oh the FCUM-TV visual radio, believe me that's what it is a hybrid new media is improving all the time. Better captions, faster commentary but keeping the jokes and references to pies.
