It’s the 2nd round of the FA trophy against Darlington and we’ve got a great lineup to get you geared up for the match. To start with, we've invited down the 4 volunteer prospective board members who are up for re-election for a Q&A. Bring any burning question you want answering and have your say!🧐

No muffins. :-( , but everything else will be in place. Pies, peas, poetry and pop. Join us from One at @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social for @ventrellestheband.bsky.social
We’ll have the usual mix of stodge and liquid on Saturday. Rose is cooking pies; cheese or tater hash. Stu is cooking peas; mushy. Lynette is cooking muffins; flavour TBC. And there will be some ale going on.
Forget your season ticket, it’s a cup game....

... We genuinely do not know what Aaron is going to bring to The Caring Stage on Saturday, but based on his track record we expect it to be provocative, interesting and relatable. Cask ales are Red Rebel and ‘Crex’ a 4.5% IPA. No muffins this week but future ingredients are in transit...
