MCFC Fans Foodbank Support

Hi all, Alex here! I am pleased and proud to announce my new book, 'For the Love: How Football Supporters Can Change the World'

It's about football supporters, community activism and hope at a time when that can feel hard to come by.

I'll post more info about it in the coming days and weeks, but for now pre-orders are open and you can get 20% off if you buy through the publisher's website!

I really appreciate all the support you can give me, whether that's buying the book for yourself, getting it for someone else, sharing this post, telling your friends and family about it or anything else!!

Today's our last one of the season! Want to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers, without them it couldn't work.

Will look forward to seeing people today - if you can, please bring a donation!

We are back on Sunday and would love to see as many people as possible to finish another season.

Come and talk to us about Pep, we'll all be commiserating together:

⏰14:00-15:30
📍End of Howard Bernstein Way under the white bridge

See you there!

It'll be like a group therapy session

The Pep news is still sinking in to be honest and not sure how to express the feeling.
