A tale of two cities I think you could say. No need to feel blue yet.

No excuses we were poor. We took too much time on the ball and were too easily muscled off the ball by a team that played a more physical game. I think player for player we were the better side, but they played better as a unit and that's what won them the match. I know we can do better but all in all we got what we deserved.

I was there. Cracking day despite the result. We were made really welcome by the Lancaster people, sang ourselves silly as usual and enjoyed the game. Two stewards told us at the end of the game that they "had never seen such brilliant support", and that it was a pleasure to have us there. All in all an enjoyable day, but 3 points next time lads !

well done lancaster another win for the city over the reds lol

Where's "little jokey" gone...he seems to have gone AWOL from the Manchester site aswell as this one...:-)

Fingers crossed for 3 points tomorrow against another promoted side - Garforth Town.

Maybe FC supporters are going to have to switch to Maine Road this season for their glory hunting!

We were the better team and will again win this league. All those who write us off do it at your peril....we are the real United the people's club and we are going to reclaim the City for the the average football supporter

Dash, FC fans won't be switching to City. They don't change their views quite like you do. Only last April you wre saying the following:
"I am an FC supporter now. I will promote their message of family oriented football. Grassroots football, where fans actually can afford to attend games with their kids. Players who actually rub elbows with supporters and a club where fans actually have a say about how the club is run."
What are your views this week?

Next up, FC UNITED v. GARFORTH TOWN FC. In our first ever Unibond League Division North home match. The West Yorkshire outfit got their season off to a decent start with a 2-1 home win over Mossley in a match that followed a similar pattern to United's 2-1 opening-day defeat to Lancaster, with Town going ahead late in the first half, adding a second late on only for Mossley to grab a late consolation.

Karl Marginson said "We are upbeat and positive. It's our first home game and the league isn't won or lost on the first day of the season. Against Lancaster, we prepared right and done all the little things that you should do right, it was just one of those days when we couldn't force a goal." The boss went on to say Wednesday's match would be a different prospect and stressed the importance of a big turn out and a vocal home support at Gigg Lane. "I don't think there was any lack of confidence against Lancaster but certainly having the fans there on Wednesday will be a big boost and it would be great to get three points on the board." Tonight's match gets underway at 7.45pm. Entry is pay on the gate and costs £7.50 for adults, £2 for under 18s and £5 for unwaged and over 60's. Alternatively, you can still pick up your FC United season ticket which works out cheaper than the gate entrance fee at £126 for adults, £21 for juniors and £90 for unwaged and over 60's. That works out at £6 Adults, around £4.29 concessions and £1.00 U18's. Visit www.fc-utd.co.uk for more details.

Dash Walny, Poland - The glory is being who we are and what we have created.
