MCFC Fans Foodbank Support

Our volunteers will be back at the Joie Stadium for tomorrow's clash vs @ArsenalWFC! Info below 🩵

After feedback from fans we're trialling an earlier start of 10:30am, collecting donations for @McrFoodbank as ever 🤝

(that's if Storm Amy doesn't get the match called off!)

Thomas Concannon, who leads the FSA’s England Fans’ Embassy, said: “These prices are astonishing - $2,000 for the cheapest final ticket is unacceptable. “If fans are successful in obtaining a category four ticket from the first game to the last, that could set them back $3,180 at least. That is more than double what Qatar cost. “Combined with travel to the Americas and accommodation, this will be the most expensive World Cup for matchgoing fans we've ever seen by some distance. “A healthy allocation of the lowest category of tickets should be made available to participating nations that are not affected by host city location or dynamic pricing. “Additionally, participating nation tickets should be located in key areas directly behind the goals to provide the best possible backing to their teams. “We'd urge the FA to work with other nations around the world to put pressure on FIFA to keep this World Cup financially accessible for matchgoing fans.”

FIFA's presale for World Cup 2026 tickets has revealed just how expensive the tournament could be for supporters - and we're calling on the FA to lobby FIFA for fairer prices #FIFAWorldCup #WC2026

Thank you Dom! Looking forward to the book very much

The two collections last weekend totalled more than 100kg for Manchester Central Foodbank - big thank you to everyone who donated and spread the word!

Next collection this weekend vs Arsenal women. Full details to follow later this week!

Thanks to all who donated this weekend, especially at the women's game where we got a whole bin full for Manchester Central Foodbank!

Great weekend and our next fixture will be the women's game against Arsenal on 4th October!

I hope he's right!

Realistic target this season is overhauling Bell and rising to fourth-highest I think

First collection of the weekend today! Get in and around it from 1pm 💙💙

In the meantime, we're looking for a driver to collect the donations at 4pm. Foodbank can come and collect them in the week following the game.

If you can collect (or know anyone else who can) then please get in touch ASAP!

Delighted to say that 2 books I’ve worked on are to be launched this month. Unusual to get 2 launches in the same month. One I’ve co-authored; the other I’ve co-edited. 1 will be launched at the National Football Museum; the other at the Irish Embassy in London. Watch this space.

Our friends at Manchester Central Foodbank have told us that Blues donated 87.2kg of food at the weekend's game vs Spurs!

Your generous cash & food donations roughly equal ~140 meals for Mancunians, supported across the city. Thank you for the continued support 🩵 #HungerDoesntWearClubColours
