No fear.
The togetherness at Wythenshawe Town Football Club is obvious. Management, chairman, fans. Everyone seems to be singing from the same hymn sheet. This small non-league club in the shadow of Manchester United and Manchester City are on the way up. As they stare down the barrel of one of the biggest matches in the club’s history on Saturday, with the prospect of a trip to the pinnacle of English football, Wembley Stadium, tantalisingly close, the message is clear and resolute. There will be no fear.
After entering the FA Vase in the first qualifying round, being drawn away from home in all but one of the eight ties, winning three of them on penalty shoot-outs and knocking out the favourites to win the whole thing - Consett, who knocked them out in heartbreaking circumstances two years ago - there isn’t much else for Wythenshawe to be scared of.
