MEDIA CORNER Hello and welcome to the Daren Persson Stadium for tonight’s Northern League Cup match against Seaham Red Star. I hope our visitors have a safe journey home after tonight’s game.
Football can be a frustrating sport sometimes and this past week has certainly been nothing short of that. Last Wednesday, the guys put in their best performance of the season to beat Consett 3-2, a score which I am told severely flattered our opposition. Fast forward to Saturday and we are on the wrong end of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Division One strugglers Ashington. What makes this result particularly frustrating is that we had so many chances to put this game to bed, however, two late goals cost us once again. The only thing that we can do from that moment onwards is to dust ourselves down and go again and I am sure that this is the message being drilled into the team by Marc and his coaching team. Tonight is the first game in the newly formatted Northern League Cup, a tournament which now sees us in a group with today’s guests, Heaton Stannington, Billingham Synthonia and Newcastle University. On a personal note, I am especially looking forward to this tournament as it gives me the opportunity to visit grounds that I have yet to have the chance to visit. It was not long ago that we played host to Seaham Red Star in the league and despite dominating large spells of the game, a late goal in the first half and a late goal in the second cost us all three points.
On a more positive note, Saturday saw Ryan Carr make his 200th appearance for the club, a record I have no doubt in thinking Ryan is pleased to have a hold of. Whilst I was not fortunate enough to have seen a large portion of his games, I can get an idea of how beloved he is amongst the fanbase going by the things I hear them saying about him. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Denver Morris and Chris Salmon to the club. Denver obviously has a very special place in the hearts of the Ultras after his Wembley heroics and I have no doubt that Chris can also become just as popular. Howay The Robins
Ed Painter
MANAGER’S NOTEBOOK Good Evening as we welcome Seaham Red Star for the second time in two weeks, following our draw here in the league. I must say this format, in the league cup, is an interesting concept and that it gives clubs more fixtures so therefore more income with two extra home matches. It’s a massive contrast to last year where we hardly played midweek and had a good few spare Saturdays as well. We could play in the region of 50 games this season and with a relatively small squad we have added a couple of new players recently in Chris Salmon and fans favourite Denver Morris. Once again though, we are looking to respond to a disappointing performance on Saturday which followed the best performance of the season against Consett here a week ago. The inconsistency is very frustrating but if you don’t kill teams off then there’s always a chance in this league that you get punished. Its happened once too often for our liking and probably turned what could have been an excellent start to the league campaign into just a decent one. We’ve had tough fixtures to open with then probably for the first time we’ve been very strong favourites and have come unstuck. However, tonight is another chance to make progress in a cup competition and we must start the group section with a positive result before we meet the three division two sides. After tonight, we face a massive task of the current top two back to back in Hebburn and Stockton respectively. These games could truly reflect where we are at so I’m looking forward to those match ups. Enjoy the game

Two late goals for Ashington inflicted another away defeat on the wasteful Robins. An early strike from Ryan Carr, on his 200th appearance for the club, gave the Robins a deserved half time lead. The advantage could have been greater but a number of chances were wasted when the Robins were on top. But with two goals in the final 15 minutes, from Daniel Anderson and Jamie Hanson gave the Colliers their first win in seven games. On the back of their win over Consett, the Robins started brightly and in the sixth minute, a brilliant delivery from Nick Cassidy found Connor Campbell in the box, but the young striker could only put the ball agonizingly wide. A minute later and the hosts registered their first chance of the game through Anderson, with the winger sending his shot well wide of Purvis’ goal. In the 14th minute, A freekick taken by Cassidy met the head of Scott McCarthy but the former Newcastle Benfield attacker misdirected his header over the bar.
Ashington were struggling to deal with the pace of Cunningham and shortly before the half time break, another great ball into the box found Carr, only for the midfielder to direct the ball over the crossbar. Shields started the second half brightly and in the 51st minute, some good play from fullback Chris McDonald allowed McCarthy another chance at goal, with McHugh’s excellent save the only thing denying a second goal for the visitors. Four minutes later, the hosts were lucky not to have gone down to ten men. After the Ashington keeper made an error under pressure from Campbell, McHugh proceeded to impede the striker before he fell to the ground. Despite denying a goalscoring opportunity, the referee only brandished a yellow card. This stroke of luck seemed to wake the hosts and in the 59th minute, striker Damien Stevens forced Purvis into another fine save before firing the rebound over the bar. The game slowed down as both teams made a flurry of substitutions and it was one of these changes which almost doubled the Robins lead.
Despite being under the cosh, Ashington were creating opportunities of their own and in the 16th minute, they took advantage of a high line, with Marc Lancaster picking out Dylan Williamson with a pass. The resulting shot was excellently tipped wide by the Robins shot-stopper.
In the 74th minute, another brilliant piece of play from Cunningham seemed to release Gareth Bainbridge through on goal. After McHugh made a smart save at the strikers feet, the linesman judged Bainbridge to have strayed offside and raised his flag.
The visitors made the hosts pay for that miss as only one minute later, a fine delivery from McCarthy found Carr on the edge of the six yard box, with the double centurion thumping the ball into the back of the net.
With ten minutes left on the clock, the Colliers found themselves level with the Robins when Anderson fired his low shot through a sea of legs and into the back of the net, to the delight of the home supporters.
With others unavailable, Cam Cunningham was making his first start of the season and in the 22nd minute, after working himself into plenty of space, he fed the ball through to McCarthy who fired over the crossbar.
They were given even more reason the cheer four minutes later when they took the lead for the first time in the game.
There were plenty of familiar faces in the Ashington line up and one of them, Ben Sampson, forced Purvis into a smart save in the 29th minute, following a powerful shot. Another former Robin, Dan Taggart, was the next Collier to try his luck against Purvis, but this time his shot, in the 37th minute, was misdirected and bobbled wide.
Having been brought on moments earlier, Hanson positioned himself well on the edge of the box in the 83rd minute and when the ball found its way to him, he hammered a powerful shot past the outstretched hand of Purvis. Despite having dominated large spells of the game, the Robins were punished for not converting their chances as the referee brought the game to an end.

NORTH SHIELDS CLUB HISTORY
The club was formed in 1896 as North Shields Athletic, playing initially in the South Shields and District League. They subsequently became members of the Northern Combination and were runners-up of this league in the 1900– 01 season. The club moved to the Appleby Park ground at Hawkey's Lane, North Shields around 1900. After eight seasons as a Northern Combination club, in 1904 North Shields Athletic joined the Northern Alliance. They soon were successful, winning the league for two successive seasons in 1906–07 and 1907–08. Following this the team were admitted to the North Eastern League and North Shields Athletic remained members until 1914–15 when competition was suspended owing to the First World War. At least two players, Alan Grenyer and Harry Chambers went on to play for the full England team after starting their careers with North Shields Athletic. The club became North Shields F.C at the start of the 1928–29 season and were immediately divisional champions and promoted back to Division 1 of the North Eastern League where they remained playing (except for a seven-year suspension of the league caused by the Second World War) until 1958. North Shields achieved their best to date performance in the FA Cup in reaching the second round proper in 1933–34 (this feat was not equalled for forty-nine years). In the first round Shields defeated Midland League Scarborough 3–0 at Appleby Park. They were drawn away in the next round to local rivals Football League Third Division North club Gateshead who won the tie, 1–0. A few years prior to the war-time cessation, in 1936 the club saw their record attendance at Appleby Park of 12,800 in a local derby match against South Shields. In 1944–45 following the post war resumption of the league Shields won the league cup. Shortly afterwards in 1949–50 the team won the North Eastern League championship, achieved a second-placed finish in 1951–52 and took the League Cup winners crown again five years later. That season, 1956– 57, was to be temporarily their penultimate as members of the North Eastern League as that league disbanded after the 1957–58 campaign. North Shields joined the Northern League from the 1964–65 campaign and shortly thereafter achieved success. A year after joining they were runners-up and three years later with former Scotland defender Frank Brennan as manager North Shields recorded a unique quadruple in 1968–69 of league winners, league cup winners, FA Amateur Cup winners and joint winners of the Anglo Italian Amateur Cup (after an aggregate draw over two legs against Italian Amateur cup winners Almas). The FA Amateur Cup was the highest ranked nationwide cup competition for amateur clubs and in the 1968–69 final North Shields beat Isthmian League club Sutton United in front of 47,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium.[9] Shields were a goal down after only four minutes but won 2–1 with second half strikes from Richie Hall and Brian Joicey, both laid on by substitute Tommy Orrick a local shipyard worker. (North Shields Athletic 1995–1999) Despite it being a couple of weeks after the start of competition North Shields were accepted into the Division 2 of the Wearside League - a drop of 5 levels down the football pyramid. Former player Dave Callaghan became the manager and put a new team together. The clubs stay at this level was shortlived, earning promotion - as 1992–93 division 2 runners-up - to division 1 of the Wearside league. Initially the club played at their Appleby Park ground but after a few months relocated to St John's Green, Percy Main and thence for a couple of years from 1993–94 on to Swallow Sports Ground, Wallsend. Thereafter the club relocated back to North Shields to the Ralph Gardner Park which has since been developed into a 1,500 capacity stadium. Success on a national level followed the next season when "the Robins" won the 2014–15 FA Vase beating champions of the North West Counties League, Glossop North End. The final took place at Wembley Stadium and similar to the North Shields Amateur Cup triumph 46 years previously they came from a goal down to win 2-1 (after extra time) with Gareth Bainbridge and Adam Forster scoring. Along the way, a new attendance record of 1,500 was established at the Shields' Ralph Gardner Park stadium at the semi-final second leg match against Highworth Town in which the Shields triumphed 2–0. They also finished 4th in the Northern League First Division and only five points behind champions Marske United. The following season 2015-6 Shields finished fifth in the league whilst lifting the Northumberland Senior Cup beating Blyth Spartans 4-3 in a thrilling Final at St James Park. Gary Ormston opened the scoring followed by a Gareth Bainbridge brace with Ryan Carr notching a dramatic last minute winner. Brian Smith left the club in February 2018 to be replaced by ex Whitley Bay boss Marc Nash. Nash brought with him Anthony Woodhouse who was welcomed back to his old stamping ground as assistant. The duo marked their debut in charge with a sensational 6-5 victory over Jarrow Roofing after the Robins were trailing 5-2 late in the game. With Steve Swinyard coming in as coach the new management team guided the club to a final 8th position as the season closed. This campaign in which Wembley skipper Kevin Hughes made his 300th appearance the side enjoyed a promising mid-season run of results which saw them put pressure on the top three.

SEAHAM RED STAR CLUB HISTORY Seaham Red Star are named after the pub in which they were formed. A Sunday morning side in 1973, they are now widely regarded as one of the Northern League’s leading clubs. Much of the credit for the Club’s early development belongs to Ralph Pigg, the initial Secretary, and Larry Phillips, the Club’s first Manager. The pair, supported by a small committee, entered a side in the Houghton and District League and, after a promising first season, made a successful application to join the Northern Alliance League in 1974. After a further five fairly successful seasons, the Club felt sufficiently confident to join the then highly competitive Wearside League in 1979. This confidence was soon justified, the Club winning the Durham Challenge Cup in 1980 and the League and League Cup “double” in 1981-82. In 1983, they were elected to the Northern League Second Division and , after some near misses, eventually gained promotion to the First Division in the 1987-88 season. Bryan Mayhew took over as Chairman of the Club in 1986 and, with able support from former Secretaries, Harry Hobson and John McBeth and a small hardworking committee – in particular Reg Atkinson, Dave Copeland, Jim Ferguson and John Smith – the Club enjoyed First Division status for an unbroken fourteen seasons. Notable successes during this period, included finishing third in 1993-4, winning the League Cup in 1992-3 and, after leading the table for most of the season, finishing second in 1999/2000. Mayhew was also a prime mover in getting the League to join the National Pyramid, calling the Special General Meeting of clubs which eventually led to the historic decision being made. Just two years after finishing runners-up in the First Division, the Club suffered its first ever relegation in its near thirty years history. Even worse was to follow when, as a result of dwindling committee support, officials took the reluctant step of tendering the Club’s resignation from the League. However, following a positive response from a number of local people keen to see the Club continue, a new committee was formed under the chairmanship of John Smith and the resignation was withdrawn. The Club’s re-introduction to Division 2 at the start of 2002/3 got off to an unpromising start but, after bringing in Neil Hixon as Manager, the Star failed by the narrowest of margins to gain an immediate return to Division 1. Unfortunately for the Club, Neil’s achievements resulted in him being snapped up by Durham City shortly after the start of last season, effectively putting our promotion aspirations on hold for at least another year. However, with experienced Northern League manager Peter Mulcaster steadying the ship, the Club finished in a respectable mid-table position. Neil Hixon returned as manager in 2005 and along with Stuart Gooden and former Sunderland & Scotish International George Herd put together a side that won promotion back to the First Division in the 2006/07 season. The following season Hixon & Herd moved to Sunderland RCA and Gooden took over the team which finished in a creditable 8th place in the table. The following season saw yet another change in management with former Darlington player Andy Toman taking over. Another dip in club fortunes saw the side face relegation. The 2010/11 and 2011/12 were two of the worst seasons in the Red Star history with the team involved in relegation battles which could have seen the club relegated to the Wearside League, both battles were successful and the club retained it’s Northern League status. In 2012 the club appointed Mark Collingwood and Simon Johnson, who achieved great success in the Northern Alliance League with Hebburn Reyrolle. They brought the nucleolus of the side from their previous club and have added experience and quality into what may well be a team that could challenge for honours. Steady improvement was noticed over the next four season’s and saw a 10 th place finish in 2012/13 and 4 th place in 2013/14, missing out on promotion by 1 point. The 2 nd division championship was won in 2014/15 and in 2015/16 season we finished a creditable 9 th place in a very tough First Division. After only 9 games of the 2016/17 season Collingwood left the club to go to Jarrow Roofing FC. Chris McCabe was promoted to manager and promptly brought in Paul Johnson as his co-manager. A good run of results had the Star placed comfortably in the upper half of the table, however only one win from the last 12 games saw the Star end the season in 15 th spot. During that poor run McCabe resigned and Craig Lynch stepped us as player manager. At the end of a disappointing 2017/18 season, in which two managers resigned and numerous players decided to jump ship, Mark Collingwood was installed as manager for his second spell at the Star, he brought in Simon Johnson and ex Easington manager Paul Frame as his assistants along with Shaun McKenna and started his rebuilding programme in the summer of 2018. More changes saw Collingwood bring in specialist coaches in Ian Longstaffe and Michael Johnson ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.
