Look out for collectors around the ground!
We’re delighted to welcome Men United to Highbury for tomorrow’s game against Oldham Athletic.A team of volunteers from Fleetwood Flyers, our Over 50’s walking football team, will be around the ground tomorrow helping raising money for Prostate Cancer UK to help the fight against a disease that will affect one in eight men in their lifetime.
Men United is Prostate Cancer UK’s movement for everyone who believes men are worth fighting for.
