The History of Alnwick Town Association Football Club Alnwick Town Association Football Club was formed in 1879, and was then known as Alnwick United Services. The club was the only Association Football side between Dunbar and Newcastle. It is believed that the club played in red shirts with thin black hoops, black shorts and black socks. In 1900 the club moved to our current home, St James’ Park. The club’s name was changed to Alnwick United Juniors. Between this time and the beginning of the First World War, the name changed between United and Town on several occasions, and also a brief spell as Alnwick St James’s. The club competed in the North Northumberland League until 1923, moving to the East Northumberland League until 1936. The club was then renamed Alnwick Town, and would compete in the Northern Alliance until 1982, apart from 1 season in the Durham Central League in 1964-65. The 60’s and early 70’s were Alnwick Town’s golden years, winning the Northern Alliance on 7 occasions and a league and cup double 5 times. In 1982-83, Alnwick Town were admitted into the newly formed Northern League Division 2. In the 1988/89 season the club finished runners-up and were promoted to the 1st Division, the highest league they have played in to date. The club also elected the league’s first female chairman, Judith Draycott. Relegation from the Northern League 1st Division followed in 1990/91. The club remained in the Northern League 2nd Division until 2006-07 when failing to meet ground criteria and lack of funds resulted in relegation to the Northern Alliance. A change in chairman, committee and management saved the club from extinction, and with the club spending 4 seasons in the Northern Alliance Premier Division, they were promoted back to the Northern League for the 2011-12 season. Whilst in the Alliance, the club won the Senior Benevolent Bowl and the Pinpoint Recruitment Cup. The club were also awarded F.A Charter Standard for the first time in their history. The club have spent the past 3 seasons in the Northern League, in the process achieving grade G ground status, preserving the club’s position in the Northern League. This means that the club are able to compete in the F.A Vase and the Northumberland Senior Cup. With plans for a new sporting club in place for Alnwick’s junior and senior sides, the future is looking bright.

Programme Notes - The Editor So we’ve been given a kind set of fixtures over the next few weeks. Having just travelled to 3rd placed Washington, after today against Thornaby we face 4th, 1st, and 2nd place in the league. Some might say anything gained from these fixtures will be a bonus. If we put in the same performance as we did against Washington, then points will be fully deserved. We’ll need a bit of help from the officials mind, but I’m not getting into that. It’s not worth the fine and it’s being dealt with through the correct channels. The lads gave everything at Washington. 2 well taken goals from Stephen Hogg looked to have earned us a well earned point but it wasn’t to be. A debut was handed to new signing Kieran Egen, who has joined the club on a free transfer from Ashington. The game also saw a 2nd debut for goalkeeper Luc Glasper, who has returned to Alnwick on loan for pretty much the rest of the season. Both did well, hopefully they’ll put in performances like that for the remaining games. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The club will be launching the 100 Club again in March, and if you bought a ticket last year, you have until the start of February to guarantee that number again. From the start of February, any tickets not sold / reserved will be made available to anyone. If you didn’t get a ticket last year and would like to take part, get in touch with me or Ian Hogg. £20 a ticket for 10 monthly draws. £50, £30 and £20 prizes each month, with a bonus draw in December for £200. www.facebook.com/ alnwicktownafc Twitter: @alnwicktownafc

The Chairman - Tom McKie Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to St James’ Park, the home of Alnwick Town AFC since 1900. A particularly warm welcome to today’s match officials, as well as the players, management and supporters of our opponents THORNABY Here at St James’ Park, we continue to improve our facilities every year, with both the ground and clubhouse being extensively upgraded since we returned to the Northern League, gaining a Grade G status in the process. You can now enjoy hot food and drink in ‘The Tea Hut’, which is located behind the top goal. Extremely good value for money. None of what you see today would have been possible without the continued support from all of our sponsors, in particular Kitson Windows, MKM, Jet Wash OK, Genix Dental Care, Northumberland Floor Sanding, Mark Ryder Heating and Plumbing , Coast and Castle Estate Agents, and Sportsworld Alnwick. I would also like to thank all of our volunteers who work continuously throughout the year in all sorts of weather conditions. Without their commitment and effort the club would simply not survive. Also the ‘472’ who turn up home and away to support the club. Finally a big thank you to those who have donated towards our new kit this season following a bit of a disaster! The support from the local community means a lot to the club. Please feel free to come into the clubhouse to enjoy a beverage or two! I hope you enjoy the match and have a safe journey home.

Today’s Opponents - Thornaby At the start of the 2000/2001 season, the Northern League gained a freshlynamed club in its ranks in the guise of Thornaby - and one that has a bright future to look forward to and will be a force to be reckoned with in its native area of Teesside. The newly-named club had had a long and chequered career after originally starting life as Stockton Athletic in 1882. For 50 years it became one of the country's leading amateur sides, winning many Northern League honours during this time. After this successful period, thirty more years elapsed with membership held in various other leagues before a decline in fortunes, mainly due to financial problems, saw the club disband in 1975, and the historic Victoria Ground sold off for building land. Eventually, in 1980, the long journey back began and the re-formed Stockton joined the Wearside League for the 1980/81 season, eventually regaining Northern League status at the 1985 AGM, reverting to Thornaby-on-Tees FC for 1999/2000 and a year later to Thornaby FC. The birth of Thornaby as a new team was based on very sound practical reasons. There was a definite need to identify with the local community in a more effective way, and that much-needed support could be generated with local businesses being actively involved. The eventual aim for Thornaby is to challenge the 'giants' of the Northern League, many of whom are hugely respected throughout the non-League scene. As well as the Northern League team, they have 4 junior teams aged from under 9s, 12s, U16s U18s and 2 vets teams. Since reformation in 1980, major honours include winning the Stockton & Dist: 1980-81Wearside: 1981-85 – Sunderland Shipowners Cup R-Up 1982-83- North Riding Senior Cup 1985-8: Northern League Second Division championship in 1987-88, 91-92 and the Craven Cup in 1995. For any club to be successful the infrastructure has to be in place, and Thornaby's hard working committee, including secretary Trevor Wing and chairman Laurence Lyons, have plans for major ground developments some have been made already including a club house, café, seats in the stand, hard standing round the pitch and refurbished changing rooms and have just received over £20000, to refurbish the Floodlights.
