🌧️ It’s okay to cry. 🌧️

Just like the clouds, sometimes we all need to let it out when things get heavy.

There’s no weakness in showing emotion — it’s strength. 💙

Bottling things up only makes the load heavier, but talking, sharing, or even just having a mate listen can make all the difference.

That’s why ‘you alright chief?’ exists — to remind blokes that they’re never alone. Whether it’s at the pub, over a brew, or at one of our events, we’re here to support each other.

💬 Reach out.
🫂 Check in.
❤️ Keep the conversation going.

Let’s break the stigma around men’s mental health, one chat at a time.

From 3–0 down to a 7–5 comeback victory — our lads dug deep, found that extra gear, and finally got the win we’ve been pushing for! 💪⚽

After weeks of near misses, strong performances, and a bit of bad luck, it was brilliant to see the effort pay off. Every player gave it their all, and the team spirit was unreal.

This win means more than just 3 points — it’s a reminder of what we’re about:

⚽❤️ Proud to Be Working Alongside F.C United of Manchester ❤️⚽

We’re absolutely buzzing to be working in partnership with FC United of Manchester this season and beyond.

At ‘you alright chief?’, we believe in the power of community, conversation, and connection — and we couldn’t think of a better organisation to stand alongside than a club that puts people before profit and values at the heart of everything they do.

This partnership is about more than a pitch-side board. It’s about raising awareness of men’s mental health, tackling loneliness, and building stronger local support networks — together.

Here’s to a great season ahead, and to making a real difference in the stands, on the pitch, and in our community. 🙌

Our Pitch Side Sponsor of the Week is you alright chief?

Supporting Men’s Mental Health & Community Connection

‘You alright chief?’ is a grassroots men’s mental health and friendship group based in North Manchester and Oldham.

Founded in memory of Steven “Bobby” Rounthwaite, they exist to combat loneliness and create safe spaces for conversation, connection, and support.

Through monthly meet-ups, community events, and initiatives like their ‘Alright to Chat?’ benches and pub spaces, they aim to break the stigma around mental health—one conversation at a time.

We’re proud to work with them and share a common belief: that football, like community, is about more than the game.

It’s about being there for one another, showing up, and building something bigger than ourselves.

Whether it’s a pint and a quiz, a race night, or just a walk and a chat, they're here to remind every bloke that it’s okay to not be okay—and there’s always someone willing to listen.

👉 Follow them on Facebook you alright chief?
👉 Want to get involved or learn more? Message them anytime.

We're thrilled they've joined us for the 2025/26 season with a pitch side board at Broadhurst Park – join them!

Every day, too many men carry heavy thoughts in silence. The pressure to appear strong, to not open up, to “just get on with it” — it’s costing lives.

You don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to struggle alone.

💬 Talk to someone.
🫂 Reach out to a mate.
📞 Ask twice — once for manners, once for meaning.

👉 If you’re reading this and you’re not feeling yourself — please don’t suffer in silence.
You matter. You’re valued. And we’ve got you.
