Cup giant killers show solidarity with BBC strikers

FA Cup giant killers FC United of Manchester refused to take part in the BBC's flagship Football Focus show today in solidarity with striking BBC journalists, according to The Workers United blog.

Club general manager Andy Walsh, told The Workers United blog: "I told Football Focus producer David Garrido that we would not be taking part in solidarity with the strike."
