NOTES FROM CHAIRMAO
PAUL MANNING Welcome everybody for today’s LIVE football. Yes, that’s right, today in Tier 2 Lockdown Liverpool we can all safely congregate and watch real, LIVE football for the cost of a couple of fancy coffees.
Garage Stadium has been closed to the public as well, so we weren’t sure if we would be playing here today. The performances have been excellent as well, with the Purps going all out attack and looking to win the 3 points, which is something that we seem to have lost somewhere along the way.
Football at Step 4 is allowed accordance to DCMS / FA legislation and supporters upto a capacity of 400 are Good luck to both teams today and allowed to come and watch subject here’s to a good game and a safe of course to a matchday risk assess- environment. #UTP ment and covid plan. We as a club have worked very hard to keep supporters safe, both in our initial Phase One and Phase Two games and then in the league game against Trafford when we voluntarily returned to Phase One capacity of 200 people. Today for this important game v Pontefract we have returned to Phase Two capacity of 400 people, but due to the massive uncertainty surrounding the COVID pandemic I don’t think we will get anywhere near to that capacity. I would like to thank the Committee of Cleethorpes Town for their patience in making the arrangements for this game, as in addition to the overall pandemic confusion, the Berry Street

OUR OPPONENTS TODAY
Pontefract Collieries PONTEFRACT COLLIERIES FC History Pontefract is known to have had a football club as far back as the 1890’s when a side, presumably composed mainly of soldiers, completed in the West Yorkshire League as Pontefract Garrison. Much of the history requires further research but it is known that a Pontefract Borough Club reached the dizzy heights of the Yorkshire League in the late 1920’s. By 1935 a club called Tanshelf Gems managed to acquire a ground on Ackworth Road, moved there and became Pontefract United. The current club was formed in 1958 enjoying considerable success on and off the field, much work being done during the miners’ strike cementing relationships with the mining industry and the local community. The floodlight opening in
1987 saw the Colls take on Hull City in a friendly watched by a record crowd of 1000. Recent History 2012/13 – The season ended with only one defeat in the last ten games including victories over Askern Villa of 9-0 and 102. The club finished 5th for the 3rd season in a row. 2013/14 – This was a season of consolidation which ended in a disappointing 9th place but with a clear plan in place for the 2014/15 season. 2014/15 – The plan was delivered as the Colls finished as runners-up in North Counties
East League Division One and were promoted back to the NCEL Premier Division after a 15-year absence. Along the way they recorded the highest away win, best aggregate score, most goals scored (joint with Louth Town), 2nd best defence and the most clean sheets. 2015/16 – The latter part of the season saw the Colls with a new management team of Craig Parry, Manager and former Colls Keeper, assisted by Craig Rouse and Nigel Danby. The Colls fought to the bitter end but ended up 3rd from bottom and back in Division One! 2016/17 – A great start to the season led by Manager Craig Parry, Assistant Manager Craig Rouse & Head Player/Coach Luke Jeffs saw the Colls win 9 from 9 (including pre-season friendlies) The League performance saw some brilliant runs of form including one of 21 games with only 1 defeat. With the Colls fate in their own hands they only needed to win away at Worsborough Bridge in the final game. This they duly
did and returned to the NCEL Premier Division at the first time of asking! 2017/18 – A fantastic season saw the Colls produce many impressive statistics, best attack, best defence, most goals scored (134), best goal difference (+96), biggest away win (8-0 v Thackley), most clean sheets (17) on their way to promotion to Step 4 of non-league for the first time in their history. 2018/19 – After 2 consecutive promotions the Colls had an extremely successful first ever season at Step Four of non-league in the NPL Division One East finishing as runners up to Morpeth Town. A good pre-season saw the Colls gain 2 pieces of silverware – The Bill Cook Memorial Trophy against Glasshoughton Welfare and the Inaugural Colliery Cup from a keenly contested game against NPL Division One West side Atherton Collieries. The Colls narrowly lost out on promotion to the NPL Premier Division at the first time of asking after losing the playoff final!
2019/20 - Pre-season saw the Colls again retain the Bill Cook Memorial Trophy against Glasshoughton Welfare (winning 9-2) and also retaining the Colliery Cup against the 2018/19 NPL Division One West champions Atherton Collieries (winning 6-1) This season was unfortunately terminated in March and results expunged with the Colls sitting in 4th place with several games in hand on teams above. 2020/21 – A successful pre-season for the Colls retaining the Bill Cook Memorial Trophy against Glasshoughton Welfare (winning 5-1) and winning the last 5 pre-season games under a new management team - Manager Andy Monkhouse, Assistant Manager Ashley Vickers, Head of Scouting & Recruitment Spencer Fearn & Head Physio Nick Short.

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him. Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms!
SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN THE YOUNG (SCD) SCD is the leading cause of death in young athletes during sport and the majority of deaths occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history. ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to 5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR. Warning signs may include light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, swollen legs, breathlessness. Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die from previously undiagnosed heart conditions. In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 89%.
OUR MISSION The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of SCD and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sporting teams. Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people are identified and treated.
