Howard back for Rebels

January 18, 2008

WINGER Josh Howard is ready to pep FC United's promotion drive in the Unibond Division One North game at bottom club Radcliffe.

The former Manchester United youth skipper has been sidelined with a knee injury which has needed attention for floating bone and cartilage trouble.

But he is ready to start at Stainton Park tomorrow after coming off the bench for 20 minutes last Saturday when United beat Chorley 2-1, and he reported no reaction afterwards.

That win took FC to fourth and the chase after leaders Curzon Ashton is set for a further double tonic as Stuart Rudd (cruciate) and Dave Chadwick (cartilage) are back in training ahead of schedule.

Josh Howard is without a doubt one of the best all round players who have played FC United. He played a major part in the last two promotions and last years league cup final. If it wasn't for the fact we stand at every match he would have received a standing ovation when he came on against Chorley. Let's hope the weather holds for our match against Radcliffe tomorrow. I hear ground staff at Stainton Park have been working on the pitch and have called for volunteers to lend a hand. Directions on the FC United 2 Chorley 1 story if needed. Viva la revolution, come on FC.

FC United latest announcement about tomorrows match
Wet Wet Wet. There is to be a pitch inspection at Radcliffe's ground tomorrow morning at 11:15am. Radclffe are doing all in their power to get the match played and have made the following appeal on their website:

Due to the importance of playing tomorrows game versus FCUM, the club are seeking a team of volunteers who can help prepare the pitch. After non-stop rain for the last few days the game could be seriously in doubt. So if you have a garden fork and wellies and the spare time please come down and help the club to stage this important fixture. Any FC United supporters who think that they can assist would be most welcome.
