Should be a spicy affair next month when Hyde FC play host to FCUM. The Conference newcomers have stressed that they're not Man City Reserves in disguise, but no doubt Greater Manchester Police will still be on their guard.

"Police"?

come on, this isn't going to be like the game in 1974 where Denis Law scored and the pitch was invaded and the match abandoned.

We're talking about two non-league clubs who have been nothing but friendly to each other (if a bit jostly, in a good-natured way) on their websites.

Hopefully you're right Rogin, but when they've been getting hassle from Chorley and Bradford, nothing can be ruled out.
