Yes, and Altrincham are still in the Conference National this season as well.

I have to agree, FC United have no place in non-league football. If fans at every club were to get upset by something that happened at their club you would have hundreds of extra clubs being setup...
Also, all they are doing is hurting other local non-league clubs by taking (potential?) fans from those teams, so reducing the amount of money they get.
They have little chance of even reaching the Conference IMO, and certainly never the Premiership. I expect they will be non-existant within five years.
Also in other news, Barrow have started the Conference North season in the same vain as last - they lost at home to Worcester City. In fact for the amount of times that they don't lose, I don't know why I bother checking their result, as I already know it is going to be a loss.
