Fixture famine ends for FC United
10:10am Friday 3rd October 2008
FC United fans are likely to make the most of a chance to see some football at Gigg Lane tomorrow with the UniBond Premier Division game against Witton Albion coming in the middle of a fixture famine.
The Rebels were laid off last weekend after being knocked out of the FA Cup and have had their next two fixtures – against Leigh Genesis and Frickley Athletic – postponed.
Manager Karl Marginson has no new selection problems ahead of the Witton clash in which he hopes his players can maintain the form they showed in beating Ossett Town 4-0 last time out.
