FC beat Ossett Town 4-1 at Stalybridge and then won 5-2 away at Norton and Stockton Ancients on Saturday in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. We've been drawn at home to Barrow in the final Qualifying Round, to be played at Gigg Lane on Sunday 24th October.

Before that, it's Newcastle Town at Gigg Lane on Saturday in the FA Trophy.

hopefully getting into the 1st proper round of the F.A cup FC will get someone like sheff wed away that would be a good away trip

Salford City's recent mini revival came to an abrupt end at Woodley Sports tonight in the Evo-Stick League Cup 1st round with a crushing 5-1 defeat. With four regular first teamers sidelined, including Rhodri Giggs, the Ammies were second best on Woodley's artificial surface with matters going from bad to worse with the half-time withdrawal of keeper Andy Robertson due to him fracturing a toe. Steve Foster grabbed Salford's late consolation goal.
Back to league action this Saturday, 16th october, ko 3:00 pm, when AFC Fylde are the visitors to Moor Lane.

Salford City responded in the best way possible to their midweek League Cup exit at Woodley Sports with an excellent 3-1 league victory over promotion aspirants AFC Fylde at Moor Lane this afternoon. A stunning hat-trick from Ammies skipper Steve Foster crowned an excellent all round display after Salford came back from being a goal down to record their third succesive league victory under the stewardship of Rhodri Giggs.


This comomg Tuesday 19th October, ko 7:45pm, Salford entertain Vodcat League side Irlam in the Manchester Premier Cup 1st Round.

FC won 5-0 at home to Newcastle Town in the Trophy yesterday. Barrow, Barrow, you are next.

With FC playing at 3pm on Sunday, and the draw being made at 12.30pm it means FC are in the hat for the first round draw.

Too gutted to post last night and still trying to get over it today! Salford City failed to get the better of NW Counties side Irlam in the Manchester Premier Cup last night by going out 6-5 on penalties after 120 minutes of a boring and uneventful 0-0 draw.



The Ammies will be looking to make it four league wins on the bounce when Wakefield are the visitors to Moor Lane this Saturday 23rd October, ko 3:00pm.

I see the Ammies has another win today against Wakefield (2-1). We've now won our 4 last league games, scoring 12 (Steve Foster, no not the boxer, has got half of them!) and conceding just 2 and now sit joint 8th on the table, some turnaround that. I'm sure TD can give us the match details.

For the second week in succession Salford City bounced back from an abject midweek cup exit to record another excellent league victory. In the latest win against Wakefield the Ammies had to dig deep defensively after being pegged back to 2-1 but a number of personal outstanding performances restored a lot of pride to everyone connected with the club after the midweek shocker against Irlam.

Salford travel to Skelmersdale United this coming Tuesday in a Evo-Stik Presidents Cup 1st Round tie before returning to league action on Saturday with a trip to Woodley Sports.

And FC are in the 1st Round as well. A superb 1-0 win over Barrow this afternoon means they'll travel to Rochdale next round.

As TD mentions ther were some sterling pefomaces across the team yesterday against the giants of Wakefield, Salford players were possibly on danger money for working at high altitude.
Awesome Cayne ( Cayne Hanley) set up both goals and appeared to be favourite for making healines for the non legue press
Citizen Caynes Wakefield ,Cayne fosters new strike partnership with Steve.
Most enjoyable visit to Moor Lane this seaon

Salford City made their third cup exit in as many weeks with a 4-3 defeat at Skelmersdale United in the President's Cup 1st Round. The Ammies led after 17 minutes through a sweetly struck free kick by Danny Byrne until Skem's 2nd half pressure finally told with a 66th minute equaliser and a 75th minute penalty to go 2-1 up. Danny Bell equalised for Salford on 82 minutes but Skem hit back on 84 and 90 minutes to put the tie out of sight with full back Simon Woodford forcing in a consolation for the Ammies just a minute later. Phew!

With a number of regular first team players missing from the action it proved to be a useful workout for a number of fringe players. My disappointment at the result was more than compensated with the presentation of a bottle of champagne by club President Dave Russell to mark me watching my 100th consecutive Salford City game without a break.

Salford City claimed their fifth consecutive league win with an excellent 3-2 away win at Woodley Sports. Three stunning goals in the space of 10 minutes from Cayne Hanley (2) and Steve Foster after 38 minutes put the Ammies firmly in control before Woodley pulled one back just before the break. A last minute penalty by the home side made the scoreline look far closer that it actually was with Salford unlucky not to have added at least four more goals to their tally.

Next game is a home league fixture against Cammel Laird on Saturday 6th November at 3:00 pm.

Not really much of a football fan for a multitude of reasons but my word, if FC get atmospheres like this on a fairly regular basis, I may well have just found myself a team to support properly! Any Salford fans out there wondering what some of our atmospheres have sounded like in the past and how I dearly hope they'll sound again in the future, have a watch of the 2nd half.

And now a lad that shares my surname has scored a 2nd! What a totally unexpected corker of an evening...

a big well done
it it sounded like Salford game!!!!!

a big well done
it it sounded like Salford game!!!!!

Or what a Salford game would/should sound like. How I would love to hear the shed rocking like Spotland rocked last night.

Salford City won their 6 league game in a row with yet another goal from Steve Foster beating Cammell laird 1 - 0 at Moor Lane at now we're upto 8th in the league.

Probably the worst penalty miss that I've ever witnessed from Steve Foster in the last minute of added on time. Just as well we were already 1-0 up.
Two real big test's of Giggsy's managerial skills coming up this week with a trip to Skelmersdale United this coming Tuesday night followed by an away day at Witton Albion next Saturday.

"Feed the Foz and he will score"

Slightly bias perhaps, but there will not be many football games like FCUM was on Friday night in any league, on or off the pitch.

Derby game last year, European Cup Final 1999. Champions League final spot kicks 2008, FA Cup Semi Final 1999 and many more I could mention.
Slightly Biased maybe but I think you may find they were real football games


BTW What will FCUM fans do if they get through to the 3rd round and draw United at OT, will you pay the Glazers ?
Well done on getting through to 2nd round.

I am still hoping Droylsden get into the 3rd round now that will be some achievement

Salford got another credible result tonight,2-2 away at 4th placed Skelmersdale the only down side to the result was the fact that Salford were 2-0 up after half hour, but still we've managed 19 points out of our last 21. Another mention to Steve Foster who's now bagged 15 goals already this season (13 in the league) Nine of which have come during this run of results.

Despite losing a 2 goal lead I'm still really delighted with the one point from a ground where we usually come away with nothing. Could have been very different when at 2-1 up a Jordan Goodeve shot was hacked off the line. Keeper Andy Robertson pulled off some great saves when we had to sustain a lot of second half pressure but overall every player deserves credit for an excellent battling performance.

Next up Witton Albion away this Saturday in the league.
