WRITES

Darren Currie

Good evening and welcome back to The Hive London for tonight’s Buildbase FA Trophy replay against Carshalton Athletic.

We want to get to Wembley. That’s what we are all aiming for, to give you all a day to remember. I’m not going to dress it up, it’s how I feel about this competition. I’ve set the bar as high as I can with our targets and it’s what we are working to, day in and day out.

We know that it’s going to be a tough game tonight, from the initial tie we know that they’re a tricky side to play against but my confidence is in my players. We haven’t become a poor side overnight. We have shown our capabilities in recent games and I fully back these boys. They do as much as I ask them to do and more, I want them to be

better in front of goal and they’re aware of that. They are buying into what we’re asking.

We need a little more ruthlessness, take our opportunities and manage games better.

This group are trying their aboslute hardest at the minute and that’s all I can ask for.

Please give them your backing tonight!

Enjoy the match, #LetsBeeTogether

Darren

SKIPPER’S

NOTES

Hello everybody, welcome to tonight’s FA Trophy replay against Carshalton Athletic.

We were unfortunate not to get the job done in the first leg and we are under no illusions how difficult tonight will be if we want to keep our road to Wembley dream alive.

something many of you supporters haven’t seen the club do in a long time, a trip to Wembley.

Our focus, however, must be firmly on the match tonight and getting past a very tough Carshalton side.

Again, I feel we were unfortunate not to get anything out of Saturday’s game too, we really piled on the pressure but the boys just couldn’t find the back of the net. We’ll certainly be looking to make amense for that this evening.

You could just make the difference tonight so get right behind us!

We have enjoyed our runs in cup competitions this season and the prize on offer is a great incentive and something the majority of the boys haven’t done and

Come on you Bees!

CARSHALTON ATHLETIC CLUB HISTORY Carshalton Athletic traces its roots to two separate teams playing in the area of Wrythe Green in Carshalton in the early twentieth century. Whilst the club’s history is dated to the formation of Mill Lane Mission in 1905 it also recognises the importance of officials, players and supporters of Carshalton St Andrews in its history.

Mill Lane Mission was organised by the Mill Lane Mission recreational facility for teenage boys and began playing friendlies in 1903. They were formally registered with the Surrey County FA in September 1905 and continued to play only friendly matches until 1906 when they joined the Croydon & District League Division 2A. During 1905 and 1906 discussions were held with Carshalton St Andrews over amalgamation. ​ arshalton St Andrews was formed in C 1897 by the vicar of St Andrews, Revd.

C.W. Cleaver and began playing in the Surrey County Herald League. In 1902

they were promoted into the Southern Suburban League Division 2 West.

They agreed to fold and amalgamate with Mill Lane Mission in 1906 but did not formally do so until they had honoured their remaining obligations at the end of the 1907–08 season.

Meanwhile, Mill Lane Mission registered their name change with the Surrey F.A. and began playing under the name Carshalton Athletic F.C. in 1907. The first ever match under this name was on 7 September 1907 at home on the Wrythe Green recreation ground in a friendly against Westbrook (Thornton Heath). ​ arshalton Athletic’s first colours were C red with white stripes - adopted from St Andrews from whom the Robins were formed when they merged with Mill Lane Mission. ​ fter the name change the club went A on to win successive promotions in 1908, 1909 and 1910 which were BARNETFC.COM 11

rewarded with election to the Junior Division of the Southern Suburban League. During this time the club put out a reserve side and a midweek Carshalton Wednesday side (many different clubs set up these sides to play after the shops had shut ‘early’ on Wednesdays) and these two sides both performed well – the reserves winning the Croydon and District League Division 2A in 1909 and Carshalton Wednesday were runners up in the inaugural Surrey County Midweek Cup. Before the outbreak of the First World War further success in both league and junior cup competitions was achieved. In 1913 the club won the Suburban League Division 1 West and the following season added the Suburban League Division 1 East title to this. In the same period they also won the Surrey Junior Cup, Surrey Junior Charity Cup and the Croydon Charity Cup and were runners up in the London Junior Cup.

OPPOSITION

had to be funded and carried out by volunteers as the local District Council were unwilling to help support these improvements. Fortunately it proved possible to find volunteers and donors to enable this work to be carried out.

The work on the ground proved to be needed the following season as Carshalton Athletic were elected into the Corinthian League, which had been set up in the previous year, for the 1946–47 season.

Several years of indifferent league form followed with only minor highlights in cup competitions, although the club continued to grow as evidenced by a record attendance of over 8000 for an FA Challenge Cup 3rd round qualifying tie against local rivals Tooting and Mitcham United. Behind the scenes the club was taking steps to improve the club’s chances on the pitch including hiring a coach for all sides for the first time but the club committee ensured that they retained the final say in selection decisions.

The outbreak of the war curtailed this period of success and the club went into a period of suspended animation during the war as its home ground was given over to agricultural use.

Following the reformation of the club on 31 March 1919, and after playing on a number of different grounds, Carshalton Athletic finally moved into their new (and current) home in Colston Avenue during the 1920–21 season. This was built as a memorial to those members of the club who lost their lives in the War. T​ he inter-war years were otherwise relatively uneventful. The only silverware the club won was the Surrey Intermediate Cup, in 1922 and 1932.

In the league, the club remained in the Southern Suburban League, finishing as runners up in 1922 before becoming founding members of the Surrey Senior League in the 1922–23 season. At the same time the club gained Football Association senior club status and this

allowed Carshalton Athletic to enter FA national competitions and county senior cups for the first time.

POST-WAR AND THE CORINTHIAN LEAGUE With the upheavals of the Second World War in Europe over, preparations for the resumption in football at Colston Avenue began 1945 with applications made to join the London League (senior side) Surrey Intermediate League (reserve side) and to enter the London Senior and Surrey Senior cups.

The club did not apply to enter the FA Challenge Cup or FA Amateur Cup because facilities at the ground were not up to standard for these competitions. The club did make it a priority to improve the standard of the ground and facilities to make them suitable for the higher reaches of the amateur game but all this work

BARNETFC.COM 12

A far better period began with the first match Carshalton Athletic played against a team from overseas at the start of the 1952–53 season.

Hengelo from the Netherlands were the opponents in what was to become a regular friendly fixture over following years. Carshalton went on to win the Corinthian League title by 3 points from Hounslow Town at the end of the season and the reserve team finished second in their league, 2 points behind Uxbridge. The 1953–54 season brought further success as Carshalton Athletic retain the league title, finishing 2 points ahead of Edgware Town, although cup success was still proving elusive. This was rectified somewhat in the 1954–55 season as the club reached the final of the Surrey Senior Shield and the quarter finals of the FA Amateur Cup for the first time in their history (this was also the first year in which two Corinthian League teams reached the quarter finals). The 1955–56 season was unremarkable on the pitch but did see further advances around the ground as Carshalton

OPPOSITION

Athletic’s success of recent season was reflected in the size of the supporters club with over 2000 members. It was also the club’s last appearance in the Corinthian League as the summer of 1956 saw election to the Athenian League.

ATHENIAN LEAGUE For the next 17 years the club competed in the Athenian League with very little success never really threatening to win the league, and finishing at the bottom of the table twice (1959–60 and 1960–61 seasons). Their best performance coming in the 1963–64 season when the club managed to finish the season in third place. Around the ground floodlights were finally erected on six pylons in 1967.

Limited cup success was achieved. A first appearance in the Surrey Senior Cup final came in the 1957–58 season, although Dulwich Hamlet won the final 1–0 and it would be another 31 years before Carshalton Athletic appeared in the final again. There was also success in the FA Amateur Cup as the club reached the quarter finals for the second time in 1959–60. In the same season the club won the Southern Combination Cup for the first time, after losing in the final the previous season.

ISTHMIAN LEAGUE 1973–2004 In the summer of 1973 Carshalton Athletic finally achieved a promotion of sorts when they were elected as founder members of the newly created Isthmian League Division 2. The first two seasons proved to be a struggle and in their third they just missed out on promotion finishing third in the league.

Three years of struggle paid off in the 1976–77 season when promotion to the Isthmian Premier Division after finishing as runners up in the league in a year in which they also won the Surrey Senior Shield.

After promotion in the league the club entered another period of struggling, not finishing in the top half until the 1987–88 season. This coincided with the start of years of upheaval in the organisation of the ownership and running of the club both on and off the field. The best that could be offered to supporters in this period was a solitary cup run as the club reached the second round proper of the FA Challenge Cup for the first time before losing 4–1 to Fourth Division Torquay United. Over this period Carshalton Athletic had 8 different managers and it was only the final appointment of Billy Smith in August 1986 that began to turn the club’s fortunes around.

The first Billy Smith era lasted for nearly 9 years and was the most successful period in the club’s history.

During his time in charge of the club twice reaching the 1st Round Proper of the FA Challenge Cup, winning the Surrey Senior Cup three times in four years and reaching the final 5 times

BARNETFC.COM 13

in 7 years, recording its highest ever placing in the league at the end of the 1988–89 season and winning the London Challenge Cup in 1991. This period came to an end when Billy Smith left to take charge of Kingstonian, and was followed by a rapid turnover of managers.

Under John Rains, the club reached the third round of the FA Trophy.

Gary Kilby led them to the first round proper of the 1997–98 FA Cup, in which they lost to Stevenage Borough after a replay, and former player Gary Bowyer twice led a successful fight against relegation. In 2000, with the club in severe financial difficulties, the ownership changed hands twice, Bowyer was dismissed, the clubhouse was destroyed in an arson attack, and the ground’s landlords, Sutton Council, threatened the club with eviction for breaching their lease.[1][2] At the end of that season, Carshalton were relegated to Division One. Two years later, Graham Roberts led them to

OPPOSITION

the Division One South title, to gain promotion to the Premier Division. The following season, they finished seventh, thus qualifying for the new Conference South.

CONFERENCE SOUTH After a £12 million plan to rebuild the ground fell through, chairman Steve Friend resigned, followed by manager Billy Smith. Under Jimmy Bolton, Carshalton retained their place in the Conference South in 2004–05.

In 2005–06, the club’s centenary season, the Club was relegated back to the Isthmian League.

LOCAL BUSINESSMAN PAUL DIPRE Purchased the club in 2008, paid off substantial tax bills and set out a ten year plan to develop the club into a community hub. Dipre promised to rejuvenate the club from the bottom up. ​ arshalton finished mid table in C 2006–07 but the following season 2007–08 saw disappointing early results and as a result the manager Dave Garland left the club in October 2007. The appointment of Hayden Bird was one of the last acts of the previous owners.

Hayden made some high profile signings and there was a noticeable commitment to playing attractive, passing football but the Robins still faced another nail-biting fight for survival in the Isthmian League Premier Division. Paul Dipre injected sufficient funds to strengthen the squad in an effort to avoid relegation. It went right to the wire and, miraculously, last day results elsewhere fell perfectly and Carshalton’s home win over Tonbridge Angels was enough to secure their status.

THE SEASON 2008–09 Was the first full season under new ownership. The reserves and junior

sections were axed in favour of a new academy and junior section. The club began a long-term investment program to renew its crumbling facilities.

Directors and staff were axed in favour of a new management team.

The first year under Dipre was one of the club’s most successful. On the pitch, aided with 31 goals from Richard Jolly, The Robins finished in 4th place, setting up a play-off semi-final with Tonbridge Angels. Athletic claimed a thrilling 3-2 win to meet Staines Town in the final. Held at Staines’s Wheatsheaf Park Ground, Carshalton more than held their own against Staines, who had finished 2nd in the regular season. Sadly for The Robins, an 85th-minute penalty was saved by Staines ‘keeper Louis Wells, and Scott Taylor scored an extra-time winner for Staines. ​ t the end of this season the club A decided to revert to its original colours of Red and also modernised its badge.

The change was supported by the majority of fans who saw the colour change as one that reflected the club’s early heritage, but a small group of fans (largely led by the club officials ousted

by Dipre) lobbied against the change strongly. ​ n 1 September 2009, manager O Hayden Bird resigned as the club’s first team manager; Ian Hazel was placed in caretaker charge. On 10 September the club announced the appointment of former Carshalton player Francis Vines as Bird’s permanent replacement.

SHORTLY BEFORE THE 2010–11 SEASON MARK BUTLER was placed in charge of the club. After a promising first half of the season, Butlers results went from bad to worse until finally the owner Paul Dipre too the reins. The team finished 13th.

The 2011–12 season was a rollercoaster for the first team. Dipre’s first season as manager ended in 16th position.

Despite the inconsistent league form BARNETFC.COM 15

there was much to celebrate in the FA Trophy with one of the most Historic results in the club’s history when they beat Lincoln City 3–1 at Colston Avenue, Paul Vines scoring a hattrick. At the beginning of the following season Dipre removed himself from the manager’s position and coach Tommy Williams, also a former player of the club, took the reins and officially took the job in October 2012. ​ arshalton Athletic was bestowed C with three community club awards throughout 2012 – the South East Regional Community Club of the Year, the Surrey FA Community Club of the Year and the FA National Community Club of the Year, the latter awarded to chairman Frank Williams and youth development officer Paul Williams by ex-professional footballers Chris Kamara and Martin Keown, plus TV presenter Ben Shepherd.

In the following year the club won the UEFA silver award for the best grassroots club in Europe, one of the greatest accolades in the club’s history.

In Tommy Williams first season as manager, Carshalton finished 21st in the Isthmian Premier in 2012-13, which ordinarily would have seen them relegated. However, a points deduction and consequent relegation for Thurrock gave them a reprieve, keeping them in the Isthmian Premier for the 2013-14 season.

In the following season Carshalton Athletic were relegated to the Ryman South under Stuart Massey.

MATCH REPORT

The Bees fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to play-off chasers Sutton United at The Hive London on Saturday afternoon as they returned to league action.

A James Dobson free-kick in the first half proved to be the only goal of the game as the visitors walked away with maximum points.

The first chance of the second half fell to Sutton when Dale Bennett crossed the ball in from the right before Deacon rose highest but headed wide.

Barnet made two changes to the team who lost to Brentford on Tuesday with Andre Boucaud and Ashley Charles coming in for Elliott Johnson and Wes Fonguck. Sutton also made a double switch from their last game, Craig Eastmond and Jamie Collins replacing Tom Bolarinwa and former Bee Aswad Thomas.

The Bees then had an opportunity to equalise three minutes later when Cheye Alexander cut inside before pulling the trigger on the edge of the box but he could only find the side netting.

Barnet continued to pile the pressure and it nearly paid off had Coulthirst’s shot from close range not deflected behind.

It proved to be a very quiet start to proceedings from both sides with neither side posing a real threat in the early stages.

However, the Bees’ first chance came on 15 minutes when Medy Elito floated in a cross from the left flank but neither Shaq Coulthirst or Ephron Mason-Clark could get a head to it.

The Bees were awarded a corner just shy of the hour mark which was flicked goalwards by Akinola before finding Boucaud who volleyed just wide of the post.

A distraught looking Akinola was then forced off through injury just over 15 minutes after coming on, making way for Byron Harrison.

Moments later and the visitors were forced to make their first change of the game after Kenny Davis was forced off with injury, making way for Roarie Deacon.

Moments later, Barnet had yet another chance to equalise after Coulthirst beat Ross Worner, who raced out of his goal, before trying his luck from a tight angle, hitting the side netting.

After Dan Sweeney brought down Gime Toure on the wing, the following free-kick fell to Brett Williams who looped his effort wide from the edge of the box. Calls for the Barnet defender to be booked for the challenge were waved away but Sweeney did pick up a yellow soon after following another tackle on Toure.

The Bees made their third and final change on 68 minutes when Fonguck replaced Mason-Clark.

The Bees had a great chance to open the scoring just past the half-hour mark when Mason-Clark’s dangerous low ball was cleared to the feet of Jack Taylor whose shot deflected over.

Sutton should have doubled their lead when Williams did well to turn the defence before shooting low and hard, forcing Mark Cousins into a smart save.

Nicky Bailey, who played for the Bees in two separate spells, was then replaced by Bolarinwa with just over 15 minutes to go.

The missed opportunities proved costly as Sutton put their noses in front moments later. After being awarded a freekick from 25 yards out, Dobson stepped up before bending it into the top right corner.

Soon after, Coulthirst attacked the Sutton defence before he was brought down right on the edge of the area. Charles stepped up and lifted the ball over the wall but it could only fall beyond the crossbar.

Toure then picked up a booking for blocking a quick Barnet free-kick before Boucaud joined him in the referee’s book following a challenge on Harry Beautyman inside the centre-circle.

With four minutes left on the clock, Fonguck nearly snatched a point, curling a delightful effort from just inside the box but it was tipped over by Worner.

The Bees were awarded a free-kick from just outside the area in the latter stages of first half stoppage time after a foul on Coulthirst but Taylor bent the resulting set piece over.

Coulthirst had another opportunity to score in stoppage time but his shot was saved at the near post.

HT: Barnet 0-1 Sutton United

Despite multiple second half chances for Barnet to equalise, Sutton managed to hold on and come away with all three points.

That free-kick proved to be Taylor’s last involvement in the game as he was replaced at half-time by Simeon Akinola.

TAKING THE

TAKING THE MIC

What’s the Frequency, Kenneth ?

The history books (or Wikipedia) tell us that Ken Williams was a wing-half who played fleetingly for York City in the early 1950s.

That another Ken Williams was a baseball player who spent the majority of his career with the St. Louis Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles). And that Kenneth Williams is a current college cornerback harbouring dreams of a future NFL career.

Then it struck me: if I could find a reason to approach him and get him to speak, his voice would immediately tell me if he was the real deal. So I turned abruptly and followed him for a while.

None of those gentlemen, however, bear any relationship to the subject of today’s story. I admit it: it’s the poorest of segues and the most tenuous of sporting links. But what follows is a true story, and it deserves an audience.

Eventually, I realised that we were heading vaguely towards King’s Cross station, so came up alongside him and asked, in my best tourist’s voice, “Excuse me, sir; could you tell me how to get to King’s Cross?”

So, let me begin.

As soon as he spoke, I knew that it was indeed The Man. He gave me directions – but then added that he was heading that way himself and would show me the route.

Many years ago - in 1981 to be precise - I was a 19 year old student walking down Oxford Street on a shopping trip to The Big Smoke, when a gentleman heading in the opposite direction caught my attention as closely resembling the star of so many Carry On films, which still mean so much to those of us of a certain age. I immediately thought to myself: “That looks like Kenneth Williams, but he is a lot older and shorter than I remember him. Is it really him? I’m not sure.”

His subsequently published diaries indicate that Kenneth Williams was a tortured soul, and also a man who was often abrupt with the fans who made him famous. Someone who longed to be a serious actor but who had to accept that his place was in so-called “low brow” comedy. I take people as I find them, however, and what I found that day was a kind, considerate and eloquent gentleman who enjoyed regaling me, while we walked, with a brief history of the architecture of King’s Cross and the surrounding area.

By which point, he had passed me and turned a corner, heading away from the crowds.

BARNETFC.COM 26

TAKING THE MIC

Eventually, it came time for us to part and I summoned up the courage to ask him to autograph the scrap of paper I happened to be carrying. He obliged, pulling an expensive fountain pen from the pocket of the immaculate suit jacket he was wearing, and leaning on a kerbside railing to scribble for me.

Now feeling braver, I followed up with: “Can I take a photo as well?”, and again the response was positive.

The picture is now hidden somewhere deep in the recesses of my house, but it shows Mr Williams leaning against a green railing in his beige suit and matching tie, pen in hand as he signs my paper.

What is just out of shot, however, is the board leaning against the railing with the warning, “Caution – Wet Paint”.

We only saw it as he moved away from the railing to reveal that the whole of one side of his suit – right arm, jacket and trouser leg – was absolutely covered in green liquid.

I looked at him. He looked at me.

And he realised that as a poor student there was nothing I could offer as even token compensation.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll take care of it.”

And with that he was gone.

Thankfully, to the best of my knowledge, he DIDN’T reference that day in his diary.

But it is a true story, and hopefully a more interesting tale than one about York City or the St. Louis Browns.

MASCOTS

Our previous home match versus Sutton United FC saw Aaron Hunt as our matchday mascot.

Aarons’ experience as the official mascot for the day was meeting the manager along with Junior Lewis and Dan Senda in the manager’s office. Aaron had prepared some wonderful questions of which he got some superb answers from all three including the best goals they had scored and their best moments in football so far. The next stop saw Aaron step into the home team changing room to see what happens before the match. He met every player getting plenty of pictures and autographs in the process.

Aaron then stepped onto the pitch to have a warm-up and kick around and even went in goal where he made some super saves! Aaron then led the team out for kick-off and duly took his seat to watch the boys in action before taking the applause from the crowd during the half-lap he performed during the half-time break.

We hope Aaron and his family had a great day at The Hive and we look forward to seeing them all again during the season.

DON’T MISS A GAME THIS SEASON WWW.FAWSL.COM/TICKETS

BRENTFORD AWAY POSTCARD I had been looking forward to the replay against Brentford all week. Not only had the magic of the FA Cup proved itself this season, but this was also a ground I had wanted to visit for a while now and time was running out with them moving soon. My Mum got the train down from Leeds to join me for this one and arrived at about 3pm. We went to Spoons before starting our travels to have some tea first because I knew I wanted to get to Brentford early and once I had my spot, I wasn’t going to move! After a nice tea, we set off getting the tube to Waterloo then the train to Brentford. Our timings were spot on and we arrived in Brentford at about 6:20pm. This gave us time to walk to the ground, get a club badge and a programme before making our way to the away end. We were in the ground just before 7pm so it was the time to get a hot chocolate and make my way to the place I wanted to stand, talking to a few familiar faces on the way. I got my spot on the terrace just behind the goal and the away end starting filling up in the lead up to kick off. It was clear this was a big occasion, the heady heights of the Championship giving me a nose bleed! The teams came out to a great reception as Darren Currie pumped up the fans before the game was underway.

The first goal was scored just 7 minutes in but unfortunately it was for Brentford as Canos scored from a low cross.

Neither fans nor players were giving up though and both Mason-Clark and Elito had chances. It was unfortunate to see Elliott Johnson taken off on 23 minutes due to injury but Boucaud came on in his place. Brentford looked confident going forward and on 32 minutes they doubled their lead when an unmarked Jeanvier volleyed it in. Both Mason-Clark and Fonguck had chances but we went into half time 2-0 down. I refused to move at half time as I wasn’t going to lose my spot with a perfect view. The teams came back out and Sparkes was brought on in place of Fonguck for the second half. Just a minute into the second half, it all kicked off with a massive fight going on between the players, eventually Elito and Sweeney were given yellow cards as well as Canos for them. On 58 minutes, Sparkes stepped up for a free kick and very nearly got it in. At the other end, Cousins made some good saves and it was clear we weren’t going down without a fight. As we continued to push forward, Mason-Clark was the next to nearly score. On 64 minutes, we had our closest chance yet as Sparkes put in another free kick, which Robson got his head to but it hit the bar! Despite Coulthirst and Mason-Clark having shots blocked, it was Brentford who were the next to score making it 3-0 on 71 minutes scoring from close range. However, we kept pushing and were rewarded just 3 minutes later when David Tutonda fired the ball past their keeper to get us one back! The 1648 away fans were absolutely buzzing. Akinola was introduced to the game making it clear we were committed to going forward and trying to score and we did have some chances, 2 shots especially from Sparkes being so close. However despite the 5 minutes added time, we weren’t able to score another and the game finished 3-1. The boys came over to a great reception from the fans who were full of pride.

Me and Mum walked back to the station and got the train back home arriving back to mine around 11:30pm. It was disappointing to roll out of the cup but I couldn’t be prouder of the boys, who have been amazing on this run.

Bristol Rovers away was great fun and Sheffield United away and Brentford at home are definitely two of the best matches I’ve ever seen in my 19 years as a fan. The magic of the cup is definitely still alive.

THE RECKLESS GUIDE

Reckless Guide Solihull Moors

16 • 02 • 2019 - KICK OFF: 3:00PM

LOCATION: THE ATG STADIUM DAMSON PARKWAY, SOLIHULL, B92 8PS

DIRECTIONS BY TRAIN

KEY PERSONNEL

It is about a 2 mile walk to the ground from the station but the X12 Bus is your friend. Bearing in mind the lack of refreshment stations on offer near the ground the town centre is your best bet pre-match with a mini cab made for sharing!

The current Gaffer at Solihull is former England international goalkeeper Tim Flowers. Tim won 11 caps for his country and played notably for Blackburn Rovers, where he won a Premier League medal in 1995, Southampton, Leicester City and Wolves. He has previously managed at Stafford Rangers and Northampton Town.

EATING AND DRINKING LOCALLY

BRIEF DIRECTIONS BY ROAD

The social club welcomes visiting fans and can be found behind the main stand.

Approx two hour drive from Barnet.

Take The M1 onto Junction 17 taking the M45 signposted Coventry South.

After approx 9 miles pick up the A45 going through numerous roundabouts stay on the A45 until you see the Birmingham Airport Travelodge and Holiday Inns to your right where you turn left onto Damson Parkway (signposted Land Rover Damsonwood) proceed to the roundabout (you will see the ground on your right) turn back on yourself for the car park.

As previously mentioned there are very few watering holes in the vicinity I’m afraid.

The Wetherspoons close to the station is The White Swan in Station Road. The Flute and Flagon on Station Parade is another option or the Revolution in also Station Road.

CAR PARKING There is a car park at the ground for early visitors (£3.00) if that is full then street parking is available locally but fairly limited.

Further afield the Mason’s Arms 173 High Street gets my vote but is a bit of a walk.

THE RECKLESS GUIDE

GROUND DESCRIPTION

ADMISSION PRICES

The ground is developing every season as at the moment modest main stand is basically seating perched in front of the changing rooms and social club.

A viewing area above the seats is for Officials, Corporate and Press. The Draintech Terrace behind one goal is a fully covered terrace - in structure, it resembles the Hive Bees Terrace. The Damson Lane end opposite is a mixture of seating and terrace. The open Airport Side is opposite the main stand and currently has a “Colin Montgomery” temporary seating block set up to one side of the halfway line. The capacity is around 4,300.

If segregation is in force we will be accommodated on the Draintech Terrace.

ADULTS £15.00 CONCESSIONS £10.00 UNDER 12’S free with paying Adult.

CELEBRITY WATCH

parts too.

RIVALS A few familiar names for more senior Bees fans - Redditch United, AP Leamington, Tamworth and Nuneaton Borough.

OUR LAST MEETING & MEMORIES I believe the only time we have played Solihull is earlier in this season at the Hive when two Wes Fonguck goals won it for the Bees.

WHAT’S THE BUZZ

WHAT’S THE BUZZ JOSH PALMER It has been reported that some Macclesfield Town players have not been paid their wages for January. This comes after the players in question contacted the Professional Footballers’ Association (the PFA) to get assistance on the matter. “We are aware two members of staff are not yet in receipt of their January salary” said the club in a statement.

“We are working hard to resolve this as soon as possible”.

However, this is not the first time that this has happened at the club in recent seasons. Last year, the club had to apologise for paying their players late, which was reportedly due to another party paying the club late. This time, club owner Amar Alkadhi said that the issue was due to a technical issue at his bank.

A hearing at the Companies Court has dismissed a bid by HMRC to give a winding-up order to Bury FC. The case against the League 2 side was dismissed by Judge Sally Barber, with another hearing having been set for 13th March. The case was taken to court by HMRC as the club reportedly still owed debts to them. They said that the Manchester club owed the money to two companies, with the total being around £27,000. “The new board have openly discussed the financial situation they inherited,” the club said in a statement. “This is something the chairman and his team have worked extremely hard on and hope to have the club financially stable and self-sufficient as soon as possible”. Businessman Steve Dale took control over the Shakers in December, after the previous chairman Stewart Day left the club.

NATHAN JONES

Police are looking into reports that former Luton Town manager Nathan Jones received threats from the Hatters’ fans, after his decision to quit the club to join Championship side Stoke City. Jones started off his coaching career as a first-team coach at Brighton and Hove Albion, spending 9 days as a caretaker manager of the club at the end of 2014, winning one and drawing one of his two games in charge.

After returning to a coaching role, he joined the Bedfordshire side in January 2016, where he has since guided the side to a League 2 runners up place last season, as well as picking up four manager of the month awards. The 45-year old departed at the beginning of last month and has since won just one of his opening five games with the recently relegated Premier League side, losing all four of the others. Upon his departure, the side sat second in League 1, and have since moved up to first place. “The number of times I’ve cried from text messages from players... it makes me emotional because I was married to the club” he said. “I was at a great club and it was the hardest decision of my life to leave, but when I met the board [at Stoke], there are so many similarities with Luton and Brighton”.

BARNETFC.COM 48

WHAT’S THE BUZZ

Players of Championship side West Bromwich Albion have said that they will pay for fans coaches to their away game at Leeds United. The Baggies, who are currently in 4th place, having also been relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season, will travel to Elland Road on 1st March, with the Whites currently sitting in second in the table, below leaders Norwich City by just -2 goal difference, as of time of writing. “Everything suggests it’s going to be a big game at Elland Road” said captain Chris Brunt. “If this gesture helps a few more of our fans get there then that’s great”. Albion won 4-1 at the Hawthorns when the two sides last met back in November.

BT Sport and the National League have announced four league games to be shown live on TV in March. Firstly, former Bees manager John Still’s Maidstone United’s trip to Solihull Moors on 2nd March will now kick off at 17.20pm, whilst a key battle in the title race will be shown at 12.35pm on Saturday 9th March, when Leyton Orient host Wrexham. Meanwhile, on Saturday 23rd, our opponents from last Saturday, Sutton United, face a televised trip to Chesterfield, kicking off at 12.30pm. The last game scheduled is between the two sides promoted from the National League North last season, Harrogate Town and Salford City, who are both aiming for a second successive promotion. This game will now kick off on Wednesday 27th, at 19.45pm.

Last Friday saw Premier League side Liverpool record a world record post-tax profit for the financial year. They recorded a profit of £106 million after tax, with the side also having a pre-tax profit of £125 million and a turnover of £455 million, which was also a record. These records were helped by last seasons’ run to the Champions League final, as well as Philippe Coutinho’s £142 million transfer to Barcelona last year. The previous record for post-tax profits was held by Leicester City, who recorded £80 million in 2016/17, a year which saw them win the Premier League and then make the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

With tonight’s game being a replay in the FA Trophy, the draw for the next round, the quarter-final, has been made. Due to be played on 23rd February, the winner of our tie will be travelling away to the winner of the replay between AFC Fylde and Ramsbottom United, the lowest ranked club still in the competition, the only club from the eighth-tier left in the competition. In the other replay, Salford City face Maidstone United for the chance to play Stockport County in the next round. There are only two confirmed ties, Solihull Moors will host AFC Telford United, and arguably the tie of the round - holders Brackley Town host former Football League side Leyton Orient.

BARNETFC.COM 49

The FA Vase is also at the quarter-final stage, with the draw having also taken place last week. Of the eight teams involved, none got past the fourth round stage last season. From the previous round, only two ties required replays, and those two ties got drawn against each other in the quarterfinals.

Hebburn Town take on West Auckland Town, with the winner taking on the winner of the other replay between Irlam and Chertsey Town. In the other ties, Canterbury City host Biggleswade, Willand Rovers play Cray Valley Paper Mills, whilst Sholing travel to Northwich Victoria, the former Football League team.

WHAT’S THE BUZZ

Former Manchester United and England player Paul Scholes has been cleared by the EFL to become the new manager of League 2 side Oldham Athletic. He initially encountered a problem with his application for the job, with an EFL rule stating that one person is prevented from having roles at multiple clubs at the same time, without prior authorisation from the EFL board. In this case, Scholes, already owns 10% of National League side Salford City, along with five other members of the Class of ’92. His case was cleared by the EFL, with them stating that a holding of 10% or less in a club is to be disregarded from the rule, providing that it is being held for purely investment and related purposes. Apart from his investment, Scholes himself has done very little in terms of being actively involved with the club, in terms of coaching, etc

BRYAN HUGHES

PAUL SCHOLES

Bryan Hughes, the new manager of Wrexham, has denied that he is daunted about becoming the sides’ third manager of the season. Having played for the club over 100 times between 1994 and 1997, he becomes the third manager this season, and the fifth in the past 12 months. The 42-year-old signs a three and a half year contract, set to end at the end of the 2021/22 season. He takes over from Graham Barrow, who only managed the club for 2 months, moving to the Racecourse ground in early December, before resigning last week. His predecessor was Sam Ricketts, who joined the side at the end of last season but left in December to join Shrewsbury Town. “Does it faze me? No. It’s one of those things that I’m excited about delivering” he said. “We’ve been out of Football League way too long for my liking. It’s not an easy job as other managers have found. It’s not as easy as people think - it’s a competitive league, especially this season in the National League”.
