WHAT A PULSATING GAME AT GIGG LAST NIGHT. TWO CLASS SIDES GOING HAMMER AND TONGS AT EACH OTHER FOR 90 MINUTES. NOT A NASTY TACKLE ALL NIGHT BUT EVERY BALL FIERCELY CONTESTED. F. C. TWICE HAVING TO COME FROM BEHIND, QUALITY GOALS FROM BOTH TEAMS AND EVEN A MISSED PENALTY AT THE END. AND IF ALL THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH, THE USUAL SUPERB ENTERTAINMENT FROM THE MOST INVENTIVE CROWD ANYWHERE IN THE GAME. A CRACKING NIGHT OUT.

I still think Curzon are the better team despite FC's riches.

Great game, top result. Thought we just edged it in terms of performance, although a draw wouldn't have been unfair.

Well worth £7

Great game, superb atmosphere, end to end stuff, will be going again!

Great Game, end to end, both sides wanting to win. I really enjoy watching FC and the football they play, its a refreshing change from all the play acting by our overpaid footballers in the expensive Premiership.

Fantastic game lastnight, Great advert for the Northwest counties league!

I agree. Credit to Curzon for taking the game to United all the way through. Of course a great result for us too.

Neasden guy (where) lets see at the end of the season if Curzon are the better team and I hate using the word better it all sounds a bit ner ner ner.

Yes we are rich....rich in suppoters that travel to the back of beyond to fill the bank balance of these teams...Ask them if they want our hard earned brass.

I suspect you are somehow trying to have a dig...come back to us with how you really feel!!!!

All credit to Curzon Ashton for their part in a truly exciting match. Curzon Ashton and FC United are clearly the top two footballing sides in their league. I hope FC United have the chance to play Curzon again the the NWCFL Cup final. If not, I hope Curzon Ashton are promoted with FC to the Unibond nect season.

we were expecting a tough game and we got one, great strengh of character to come from behind twice and eventually winning against a very good Curzon Ashton side.
Not the ussual flowing football we have been playing for most of the season last night but still a fantastic night out watching a really hard fought end to end game with plenty of hard (but fair) tackles going in and only those that were there can truly appreciate the volume of noise inside Gigg Lane.

Hey Ashton Kutchter did okay to get the two goals. He still has Demi Moore when he get home at night. So all is good.

Curzon Ashton are without doubt as good as FC United and will remain our biggest title rivals this season. Steven Moore and Michel Norton lived up to their reputation. Norton scored against us in our last match at the Tameside Stadium and with Moore scoring two more in this tie, it is easy to see why they are the NWCFL two leading goal scorers with 80 goals between them. There be at least 3 promotion places this year and our next opponents, Nantwich Town, are also one of the other teams with a chance of promotion to the Unibond League this year so I expect another feisty clash.
