Also it's on the Wednesday and not the Tuesday as a few are posting on here.

FC United of Manchester
Information for visiting supporters
Gigg Lane, Bury
The ground
This season, FC United will play most home games at Gigg Lane, Bury, BL9 9HR
(home of Bury FC). A number of games this season will be played at Bower Fold,
Mottram Rd, Stalybridge, SK15 2RT. The information here relates to Gigg Lane.
Specific directions to Stalybridge Celtic FC will be provided in the news section of the
official website where relevant.
For Saturday games at Gigg Lane, the Main Stand and the Manchester Road End
are used. For most midweek games (and occasionally for cup games), only the Main
Stand is open. Visiting fans are invited to use the section at the left of the Main
Stand, which is accessed via turnstiles 8 and 9.
Admission prices
£8 Adults
£5 Over 60s and students
£2 Under 18s
Getting to the ground - by car
The ground is only 3.5 miles from junction 17 of the M60. Exit the M60 at junction 17
and keep following signs for Bury A56. After a third of a mile, go through the double
traffic lights passing McDonalds on the left hand side. Just after the Bull's Head pub,
bear right at the traffic lights. Continue straight on for 2 miles, and then turn right just
after the Swan and Cemetery pub into Gigg Lane (signposted Football Ground). The
ground is on the right hand side.
Limited parking is available at the ground for a charge of £3. Additional parking is
available at St Luke’s Primary School (Morley Street, Bury BL9 9JQ) for £3. All
monies raised at both car parks will go to FC United club funds.
There is also parking available on the streets around Gigg Lane; however please be
aware that there are now parking restrictions on some streets around the
ground. Parking is for residents only between 8am and 8pm Monday to Saturday on
a number of streets around the ground so please check the signs for details.
Getting to the ground - public transport
Bury is approximately 9 miles north of Manchester, and is well served by both bus
and tram. The tram runs from Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly railway
stations, and Bury is the last stop on the line. The journey takes approximately 25
minutes (£3.50 return). The tram station is in the centre of Bury; about 15 minutes
walk from the ground.
Alternatively the 135 bus from Manchester takes about 40 minutes and stops close to
Gigg Lane (£4.10 Day Ticket). For further information about public transport see
GMPTE - Public Transport information for Greater Manchester, UK
The “MegaCabin”
The MegaCabin, otherwise known as the club shop, is situated on the forecourt, and
is a tongue in cheek reference to the Manchester United Megastore at Old Trafford.
Call in for a match badge or other FC United items, or just to say hello.
Programme
Our full colour match day programme is priced at £2 and is available inside and
outside the ground.
FC United ‘Pound for the Ground’ Draw
Our ‘Pound for the Ground’ draw takes place at every home game, with up to £200
paid out in winnings. Tickets cost £1 and the winning ticket is drawn on the pitch at
half time. Winners are announced both at half time and on the club website.
All money raised from the ‘Pound for the Ground’ draw will go directly into the FC
United Development Fund, which is working towards raising the £500,000 deposit
needed for our ground. Please look out for sellers outside Gigg Lane and help us
build a home of our own.
Development Fund Barrels
You will probably notice green and brown barrels located at various places on the
forecourt outside the ground. These are for supporters to donate any loose change to
the FC United Development Fund.
FCUM Radio and TV
FCUM Radio broadcasts free live commentary via the internet at every FC United
match, for those supporters unable to make the game - FCUM Radio - Radio for FC United of Manchester
TV highlights are also available after home games - FCUM.TV - TV for FC United of Manchester - For the fans, by the fans!
Food and drink
As tenants at Gigg Lane, FC United unfortunately do not benefit from any sales of
food and drink within the ground or in Bury social club. The exception is the burger
vans situated outside the social club.
There are also a variety of shops and takeaways near the ground on Parkhills Road.
FC United do not make any money from bar takings at Bury’s social club at our home
matches; therefore we operate a £1 admission charge to the social club. This £1
goes to the FC United Development Fund, which will help us to buy a ground of our
own. Away supporters are of course welcome in the social club, which has Sky
Sports and a big screen. The social club is situated on Gigg Lane itself, next to the
ground. You are also welcome to take your own food into the social club.
There are also various other pubs in the town centre and around Gigg Lane,
including Trackside at the East Lancashire Steam Railway station which does great
food and lots of real ales, and the Staff of Life, Waterloo and Swan and Cemetery all
on Manchester Road close to the ground.
All information correct at time of writing
FC United Promotions Team 2010.

Although I would expect that first part about which stands will be open and where you be to change though

Anyone using the social club please try and have the correct money
And anyone coming up have a safe journey

[Marc1901]

[Icy Gull]

Is the place gonna be rammed with Manchester United fans?

Why is it on Wednesday? Selling out to the TC cameras again?

Maybe one of their fans can confirm, but most of their midweek home games are played on a Wednesday.

 

[bellsize seagull]

bet the live replays will be Charlton v Luton and us !

 

[Bwian]

Is the place gonna be rammed with Manchester United fans?

Probably, seeing as how Withdean was on Saturday.

Maybe one of their fans can confirm, but most of their midweek home games are played on a Wednesday.

Our match night is a Wednesday

 

[Bad Ash]

I thought the FA set a minimum ticket price of £10 for FA cup games, or does that not apply to replays?

i have read somewhere that the £10 minimum ticket rule comes in at the 3rd round stage.

 

[clippedgull]

£8 is fair. But if we progress then it will be £25 for the next round! I wonder if many will choose to stay at home as Gus suggested.

The minimum is £10 for Rounds 1 and 2, but prices can be lowered only if both teams agree to it.

 

[Boris Johnson]

Is the place gonna be rammed with Manchester United fans?

I think that's probably a decent guess - seeing as we're all STILL Man Utd fans...'not one penny'
