Here’s a great interview with Andy Walsh about the historic landmark we have acheived.

““I did get a bit emotional,” admitted Walsh. “That was because it is so important to be in Manchester. We are Mancs and it is the values of this city and its cultural and political history that have driven us to where we are.””

“He added: “Our priority is to run the best democratically-owned football club in the country. If a consequence of that is that we attract more people and better players and if a consequence of that is that we move up they pyramid then good. We will face some difficult questions. Do we go full-time? There are exciting decisions to come and I think the crowds will go up at Moston. This club, as we have said from the start, will go as the supporters want it to.””
