THE CHAIRMAN <

PAUL BOWDEN-BROWN THE CHAIRMAN

May I extend a warm and friendly welcome to the officials, players and supporters of Hastings United to Princes Park the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home for the next five years on this January afternoon, and after enjoyable game and some refreshments they all have a safe journey home. Well here we are once again playing at home after our recent trip to South Park where, if I am honest we did not do ourselves justice on the pitch.

The result was not good as the majority of the teams around the play-off places all won so if we are to climb the league table, we will have to change things on the pitch.

To be honest going in at half time 1-0 down, I still thought we would win the game, and then just after the start of the second half we level the scores.

But as I have said on numerous occasions these are always my personal views, I have a well experienced manager at this club that has previously been in this position and has got it right.

We looked very strong, but by allowing them the opportunity of a very fine shot on goal we went down to 2-1 and from that point we made no progress at all in their half of the pitch. The game started getting techy with the referee bringing out his cards giving a red to both teams. To be honest I thought the referee had a bad game with no common sense used, but how many times have you read these comments within my programme notes this season!

PAGE 04

As I said to Tommy the buck stops with him and I, and at this time I fully support the actions that he is taking, I just hope that the players once they cross the white line remember what has been told to them pre-game and are able to achieve the required results, rather than thinking they know better. Be assured I am showing my commitment to this club by supporting the squad we have put together. As I have said I am nearing completion of a plan that I think

THAMESMEAD TOWN V HASTINGS UNITED

will make this club a true football club, hopefully coming away from being a one club team and becoming a team with a first team, reserves and a very professional youth set-up. Negotiations have been slow, but I believe I have now done enough that all parties are in agreement that we should now be in a position to finalise all matters and at that time I will be in a position to announce this news, I feel it is a very exciting times for the club. Finally whilst writing I would, once again, like to thank all of our supporters new and old that have taken opportunity to support the club since our move from Thamesmead. As I walk around the ground I notice a number of old supporters that I am sure have taken the advantage of the community family season ticket offered to all those that live in the proximity of the ground, and a number of new

> THE CHAIRMAN

faces that have become regulars, so I would assume that the majority of these supporters are from our landlords Dartford who join us when they are unable to join their team on matchday. Hopefully they take advantage of our Mead Card initiative, it’s not a bad deal being able to gain entrance to our matches for £5 and over 65s for only £2-50, but although our gate is increasing we would always like to see more as I know the team like to play in front of a good size crowd. So please tell all your friends that they can join you enjoying an afternoon or evening watching TTFC be our 12th man and make Princes Park our fortress. I know I took a risk moving the club away from Thamesmead, but all of your actions together with some very good news that I shall announce in the new year have proved that the club needed to

WWW.TTFCOFFICIAL.ORG

move to survive.

with myself and I will send a full job description.

All we have to do now is ensure we play exciting football that brings in supporters to our matches, and then ensure we get the support of local businesses that will support the club financially, and at this time I am working very hard on ensuring that the football club will become part of the local community. At this time I am looking too recruiting two people to join our friendly club firstly for a commercial person to join our small team at the club. It could be a full-time position or part time, but will totally depend on the type of person applying for this position. They would be reporting directly to myself, it is a type of job that the right person can develop on their own merits for the benefit of all parties, so if you interested or know someone that would like to apply please make contact directly

Secondly I am looking for a person that could bring the club into the 21st century with regard to its website and social media avenues, so if you are a person that feel you could give the club some of your time to ensure this section of the club is updated and monitored for the benefit of the club and its growing supporter base. If you feel this could interest you please make contact and discuss how you feel we could take this matter forward, my contact e-mail for both position is as follows – directorttfc@live.co.uk . Let’s enjoy a good game of football Paul Bowden-Brown Director and Owner

THE MANAGER <

TOMMY WARRILOW THE manager

Hello everyone and I’d like to welcome the players, supporters and officials from Hastings United to Princes Park. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Princes Park to the players, supporters and officials from Hastings… Anyone who saw our game down there in October will tell you about the last two or three minutes where we’ve come away with the win against a side similar to ourselves – they’ve won games and lost games are in the pack looking upwards to see if they might be able to mount a challenge as the season wears on. That is obviously still our main aim as a club – there’s eighteen games to go and although we’ve started January poorly with two defeats, we saw off a potential banana skin. Guernsey who had only lost 1-0 to Cray last weekend with a very similar side to the one that played here – we put in a performance that according PAGE 06

to Tony Vance the Lions boss should have been double figures. We’ll obviously take the 5-0 win and we spoke about it after the game towards the standards that we’ve set them in that we’ve got to be more ruthless in front of goal and take those chances. 5-0 is a fantastic result don’t get me wrong, but I was disappointed as it should have been more especially as when we came off the pitch we heard that another side had got nine! It could and should have been us – but hey that was the only down side for me reflecting back on it a couple of days later! I know what I’ve got in my squad what with players in and we’ve had a few players back from injures and suspensions, and whilst I know we’re going

THAMESMEAD TOWN V HASTINGS UNITED

to get some more, we’re still capable of going out and winning a game of football, but we’ve got to take carry on believing in ourselves. I’ll take eighteen wins and not being happy with performances rather than playing well and not getting the results. It’s OK saying that we’ve got games in hand, but as January is about to become February the games do start disappearing. Overall though, I think we’ve moved the club forward on the pitch and are playing well on the pitch hence why our demands and expectations of the players are so high. I want us to come across as an ambitious club as I’ve always been an ambitious manager and that won’t stop.

> THE MANAGER

I believe in this set of lads; I give them a hard time and I give them praise when it’s due. But I do believe that we’ve got a set of lads to put a run together and let’s hope it started on Wednesday. I’d just like to wish Raph (Raphael Duyile) well as he left the club this week because of lack of playing time. I spoke with Craig Edwards at Cheshunt and Raph’s gone over there – he’s a good lad with a good attitude and I understand his decision and I hope that he’ll reignite his career over there. Back to today, the boys know what’s demanded of them both as individuals and as a team and we’ve just got to keep banging that drum! I said to one of the players the other night that the only time you should worry as a player is when a manager stops talking to you, stops encouraging you and how to help, is when it means that they’ve given up on you. And there’s not one player in my squad who I have given up on which is why there’s not been a massive turn around… Enjoy the game and see you in bar later. Tommy Warrilow First-Team Manager

LEON SMITH THE CAPTAIN

Hello everyone and welcome to Princes Park, where we take on Hastings United in the Bostik League South. Afternoon everyone and welcome to Princes Park. I wasn’t involved on Wednesday night due to a chest infection. And so I had the pleasure of sitting in the dug-out watching a terrific performance from the boys. On yet another cold night – is it ever going to warm up? – we face a Guernsey side who hadn’t been on the best of form themselves, but had given Cray a real scare last weekend, and on the back of that I’m pretty sure some of their players would have fancied their chances. But the boys showed some real class in scoring five Proudly sponsored by... and to be honest, anyone who was here will agree that it could and probably should have been more.

told me afterwards that they’d signed him from Bournemouth) and kept the score down otherwise we may well have matched the nine that I saw Cray scored against Ashford the same night! We now must take that win into today – the confidence gained from beating Guernsey must be carried into today boosting levels in the camp even more. So come three o’clock this afternoon we’re all buzzing to get three more points towards our target for the end of the season which is still within our reach with your help and backing… Enjoy the game and see you next time… Leon Smith First-Team Captain

IAN DOCKER

THE Academy Good afternoon, and good luck to Tom and the lads this evening. The academy scholars started the new year games programme with a 4-3 win away to Millwall Lions and a 2-1 win away to Maidstone. It was a great start to this final half of the season and put the lads 6th in the table. I was delighted with large parts of their play and I hope they can continue their run of form. I asked Joe Bailey, my former Kent Youth manager from our Ebbsfleet United days to assist me and double up as physio for the Millwall match and he wrote a few words about the match. Joe said,” I was delighted to help Ian and the lads again after assisting them in their FA Youth Cup match at Margate and it was a good team performance, especially in the first half. “I was pleasantly surprised with the speed and passing of the lads and I could see how the lads had progressed since the start of the season. Ian went for a high-pressing strategy from the start and the lads carried out this from the off within a disciplined manner. “Individually, centre backs, Luke Davis and Kiitan Oluwasere caught the eye with two accomplished performances and skipper Dante McIntosh dominated from midfield. Up front Ade Adeniran worked tirelessly and our goals were thoroughly deserved. “Sudayisi Sendege scored our

WWW.TTFCOFFICIAL.ORG

first goal with a wonderful free kick that swerved passed the helpless goalkeeper and our second came with Ade Adeniran flying down the left wing and crossing for Tyler Spranger to pass the ball calmy into the net. “With the lads growing in confidence, the third goal came identically to the second, but this time Tyler set Zakariah Coulibaly who made no mistake in driving the ball over the line. Unfortunately, the lads took their foot off the pedal and gave away two sloppy penalties and for ten minutes allowed Millwall back into the game. “Thankfully, the lads regained their composure and even though Millwall netted another goal, Dante drove past two players shot and after the keeper made a great save, Ade put the rebound in and put the game to rest. It was a good performance from the lads!” The game against Maidstone on Monday provided a different test for the lads and with the Gaffer running his eyes over them from the stands, the boys started off a little shaky. Maidstone had some technically gifted players and with Jamie Coyle. the current first-team manager of Welling and one of my former youth team players taking their side, we knew that this would be a hardfought battle. We created a good number of chances in the first half and Lennie Laker provided some quality balls into the box that on other days would have been put into the back

of the net. Both teams showed glimpses of taking control of the match and on a run, Ade Adeniran was brought down in the box. Sudayis Sendege stepped up and put the ball into the bottom right hand corner to take a well-deserved lead. This put the lads’ tails up and after another fine run from Ade into the box, resulted in the defender tripping him up. Sudayisi stepped up to once again score from the spot. It was good to see the lads taking on board the information Tom was giving them at half time and our second half performance was more accomplished in some departments. Myron Dixon was brought on and immediately gave us more bite and speed of play down the righthand side and again we created chances to go further ahead but failed to capitalise on them. The home side upped their game in the final twenty minutes and snatched a goal back but after a couple of fine tackles by Ruben Kwami and Artan Fanaj we held on for a deserved win. Our scheduled match against Fulham Sedgehill last Wednesday was cancelled due to school exams being taken! Your is sport. Ian Docker Academy Manager

CLUB HISTORY

thamesmead town Thamesmead F.C. was formed in 1969 as a community team for local youngsters. The club merged with Southlake FC in 1973, and by 1979 were fielding a Saturday team, playing on local park pitches. In 1980 the club entered the London Spartan League at the Intermediate Division Three level and dominated the divisions in the early 80s, but were couldn’t gain promotion to the Senior Division until they gained senior status. In 1985, the club changed its name to Thamesmead Town FC, and later that year they relocated to Bayliss Avenue, before finally gaining senior status during the summer of 1987 and were accepted into the London Spartan League Premier Division. The club moved to the Kent League in June 1990, where they remained until 2008, generally finishing amongst the top half dozen in the table. In 2002–03, the club missed the runner-up spot on goal difference, despite bizarrely having more points than Cray Wanderers, who won the League! Keith McMahon took the helm in the summer of 2006 and this would be the beginning of a new successful era for Thamesmead. In 2007–08, Thamesmead Town were champions of the Kent League, winning the title on the last day of the season. The title ensured promotion to the Isthmian League, where they were elected to play in Division One North in 2008–09. The summer of 2009 saw work begin to give Bayliss Avenue a massive transformation as work began on “Sportsman Club Thamesmead” The Project aimed to deliver first class facilities for the

WWW.TTFCOFFICIAL.ORG

local community as well as a stadium suitable for Conference South which was hoped to be completed for the start of the 2010/11 season. However, delays ensured and it was at this time around September 2012 that former Maidstone United Chairman Paul Bowden-Brown became involved in the club as a director, with the main aim of stabilizing the finances off the field and then during January 2015 became outright owner of the club as chairman. When Keith McMahon resigned in early 2015. Before in 2012-13, the Mead finished 3rd in this division and beat Maldon & Tiptree on penalties in the final to gain promotion to the Isthmian Premier Division for the first time in their history. The club’s stay in the Premier Division lasted just one season, and the club endured two turbulent seasons, after Keith McMahon resignation The Chairman appointed Terry Spillane as his replacement unfortunately his reign was terminated by the Chairman early 2016 although the team was in the play-off positions. In the summer of 2016 the Chairman appointed Tommy Warrilow as the first-team manager, and with a new man at the helm came fresh hopes for the season, as Warrilow alongside his number two former Leather and Dartford skipper Alex O’Brien looked to take the club back to the Bostik Premier League. Pre-season began with a completely new-look squad yet it proved to be a historic season in the FA Cup, when the club were the first to play a tie in the Channel Islands before reaching the Third Qualifying Round for the first time in the club’s history.

In March 2017, the Chairman announced that the Club due to unacceptable rising costs at Baylis Avenue the Chairman had reached agreement with the Directors of Dartford FC to enter into a five- year Ground share Agreement that would allow the Club to play their home games at Princes Park Stadium. Dduring the 17-18 close season this Groundshare was formally sanctioned by the new Bostik league directors, as well as confirming that for the first time, the Mead would be competing in the South Division for the 17-18 season. In August 2017, the club enjoyed a record 8-0 win in the FA Cup (away to East Preston) which was not only the Clubs biggest ever win in the competition but was also the first time, we have won a competitive game by eight clear goals!

THE OPPOSITION <

INTRODUCING

Hastings United After starting 2018 with three points, Hastings United arrive at Princes today on the back of successive defeats to Greenwich Borough and Sittingbourne respectively, but one place and one point ahead of the Mead in the Bostik South table. Chris Agutter’s side will be looking to some kind of pay back after two goals in the final four minutes of the game at Pilot Field back in October edged the game in the Mead’s favour leaving United anxious for revenge this afternoon. PAGE 16

Since that game in October, the Sussex’s side is much changed both one and off the field with former Chairman Ormerod standing down. On it, United’s form has mirrored that of the Mead they’ve won a few and lost more than they would have liked to stay on the very fringes of the play-off race and both sides go into today knowing just how important the three points are this afternoon.

> THE OPPOSITION

HASTINGS UNITED

Recent CLUB HISTORY During season 2007/08 Hastings United struggled in the Premier Division and midterm the club dispensed with the services of Nigel Kane. Reserve team manager John Lambert acting in a caretaker capacity, until former Millwall player and ex-Tonbridge Angels boss Tony Dolby arrived and steered the side clear of relegation. Tony did not stay at the Pilot Field and Lambert was appointed as manager for season 2008/09, but once again United found themselves in the lower half of the table for much of the season and after a prolonged spell in or just above the relegation places Tony Dolby returned to replace Lambert and once again oversaw them retain their place in the Premier Division. The 2009/10 season was Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful since gaining promotion. They looked likely to make the end of season play-offs until a late dip in form saw them finish in seventh place. They reached the semi-finals of the Sussex Senior Cup, losing to Brighton & Hove Albion but found no success in the FA Cup, FA Trophy of League Cup. Manager Tony Dolby left the club in December 2010 and was replaced by Jason Hopkinson who was previously assistant manager at Lewes. Results picked up which enable

the club to retain its Premier Division status. Results in the cup competitions were again disappointing. Jason left the Club during October 2011 following a disappointing start to the season and was replaced by central defender Sean Ray United again found themselves in a relegation battle but managed to preserve their Premier Division status. A poor league season in 2012/13 saw the club relegated from the Ryman League Premier Division. There was considerable cup success however. An FA Cup run saw United reach the first round proper before losing 4-1 away to Championship side Middlesbrough. They also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, losing away to Concord Rangers, and the Sussex Senior Cup when they lost 1-0 to Bognor Regis Town. Three days prior to the start of the new season manager Sean Ray resigned his position. Assistant Mark Stapley and coach Terry White are in temporary charge. John Maggs was appointed as manager towards the end of August 2013, formerly with Crawley Town, Horsham and Crawley Down Gatwick. John Maggs was dismissed towards the end of January 2014 and replaced by former player Terry White.

Two other managerial changes were made during the season when results were disappointing especially as many had tipped the club to be challenging for a playoff place. Towards the end of season 2014/15 the club changes hands when a new board of directors was appointed. Garry Wilson was appointed as manager during the close season with Danny Bloor joining as assistant manager. Garry Wilson and Danny Bloor stepped down at the end of the 2015/16 season to be replaced by former United player Darren Hare who had previously been with Gillingham FC undertaking a number of rolls including caretaker manager. Darren rebuilt the squad during the close-season with a number of new signings. After an excellent season which ended with a play-off semi-final defeat, on penalties, away to Dorking Wanderers, Darren Hare resigned. His replacement is Adam Hinshelwood who once again had to rebuild the side as a number of players moved on. Adam resigned during September to take on the managers role at Worthing FC and was replaced by his assistant Chris Agutter.

Mendy (15, 66), Vines (37), Kinch (42), Denny (90) Wednesday 17th January Princes Park Attendance: 107 Bostik League South

0 GUERNSEY This was the Mead’s first win of 2018 – a five goal “international” romp and the third time this season Tommy Warrilow’s side have hit five in a home league game at Princes Park – the question now could it prove to be the springboard for a play-off charge between now and April? Two strikes from Laurent Mendy, backed up with headers from Scott Kinch and Joe Denny and Paul Vines’ 14th goal of the season sealed the points, but it was the performance of young Guernsey keeper Stanton which was the star role on a crisp Princes Park night. The youngster on loan from Premier League AFC Bournemouth was simply outstanding and poor Danny Parish in particular will be delighted if the two never cross swords again! For the visiting Green Lions, it’s been a worrying recent slump in form as they slipped to their eighth game without out a win – the last four without a goal conceding fifteen without reply. The Mead flew out of the blocks with plenty of early pressure, with Bode Anidugbe

finding himself free in the right channel only to shot wide and the unlucky Richard Pacquette firing wide from twenty yards before being replaced by Vinesy barely 15 minutes into the game. Indeed, one of Pacq’s final contribution was to cross for Laurent to curl a cracked into the corner of the net. Stanton held low shots across goal from both Danny and Jack McIntyre before Danny again went close as he raced clear. Finally, the Mead did double their lead after a poor pass saw the home side break and after the keeper denied Danny and Bode the ball eventually fell to Vinesy who made no mistake. The Mead’s top scorer was then denied a second for himself as Stanton turned aside a sensational flick, but the Mead weren’t to be denied as Kinchy headed home his fifth of the season three minutes from half time. As the game passed the hour, the result was already pretty much done and dusted, but the Mead made completely sure on 63 minutes.

A corner dropped to Laurent on the edge of the area and his shot took a deflection as it flew past a helpless Stanton. The siege continued as Bode headed wide; Vinesy shot wide and Laurent was inches away from a hat-trick as his low drive flashed inches wide. It was then Tom O’Connor’s “turn” to be denied by Stanton who then denied Danny yet again before reacting remarkably quickly to deny Tom’s rampaging run. Just as the Mead thought that the fifth wouldn’t come, Joe flung himself at a cross and his diving header nestled into the corner of the Guernsey net to secure the Mead’s first three points of 2018 and with Hastings United due at Princes on Saturday, the Gaffer will be hoping the second win of the year doesn’t take as long as the 17 days for the first.

Max had only played cup matches this season up to the Christmas break when first choice Lewis Carey was away on holiday – Max takes up the story, “Lew let me know in advance that he was going away, but it was still a great Christmas present from him. “It’s not easy to be on the bench each week. However, if I look at where I was last season fighting for a place in the development team, I’m making steps in the right direction. “Also, the management are organising loan games at every opportunity which I’m very grateful for. Sometimes in life you have to earn your opportunities and I’m willing to do just that.” Being on the bench though doesn’t mean that Max can be any less focused, as last season’s game at Soham Town Rangers proved for our number two keeper. “Last season at Soham was my first experience of first team football at this level; it was a crazy game and with so many players going off injured that the Gaffer turned to me and asked if I was any good on the pitch! “So, in retrospect I should have foreseen our starting keeper at the time Ollie (Bowles) having to come off injured. My heart was racing when I was on the side-line waiting to come on; but once I got on the pitch I calmed down and was able to make some good saves that allowed us to win the match (which I was understandably ecstatic about!)” Still only 22, we then asked Max

to tell us his football story. “I was at Fulham’s FC Academy for 16 months when I was 12, then I went to Luton on trial, but both teams thought I was too short to be a goalkeeper (I was a really short kid!) “I then played for my local club for a few years before going to play for Clapton U16’s at 14. But I’d lost my passion and stopped training and despite having some stretches at clubs and pro trials I was ready to give up football. “But after I finished my A-levels I had an urge to start training again and from those sessions I was sent to Holmesdale for a preseason and straight after that I came to Thamesmead which has fully reignited my passion.” Max is a big guy, so his keeping hero would be a Schmeichel or someone similar – that couldn’t be further from the truth. “My goalkeeping hero was always Shay Given because he was a short goalkeeper that was making great saves in the Premier League and I was a short kid. I’m way taller than him now, so thankfully I don’t have to worry about my height anymore, but as a kid he was my favourite. “I couldn’t tell you why I started goalkeeping I just really liked it. At one point or another every member of my family tried to steer me away from goalkeeping, but I was stubborn and didn’t listen to any of them. “My Dad and my old goalkeeping coach Martin Edwards have definitely been the greatest influences on my career, my Dad has barely missed a single game my whole life and my old coach

Martin has literally taught me everything I know. “I think as a trio me, Lew and Craig (Gibson) get on great. I think that although there is always competition in football teams both me and Lew genuinely want to see each other do well, Lew’s even gone as far as sending an encouraging text the day of a loan game. “Goalkeepers are a rare breed and if we don’t look after each other, then no one will. And even though he’s a former outfield player Craig fits perfectly into the goal-keeper’s union and he’s put a lot of extra work in with me that he didn’t have to do, and I really appreciate that!” As we’re into World Cup year, we finished by asking Max about England’s chances. “Look at today’s team-sheet and I’ll just ask what are my chances of starting upfront? That’s all I’m going to say!” We finished as we always do with “Five Firsts!” First football kit bought (either for you or by you)? Chelsea shirt. It was the black away kit. First album/CD owned? College dropout by Kanye West. First football match attended? Chelsea vs West Ham United. First car owned? A blue Ford Fiesta which caught fire in under a year! First foreign holiday? Spain at age 1.

CRAIGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER <

CRAIG GIBSON THE coach

Welcome to Princes Park our new home - Jamie and Greenie have finally let me write some words for the programme, so here goes! We welcome Hastings United to Princes Park today and I think, looking at the table, they will be feeling very much like us with the season so far: disappointed not to be further into the mix for the playoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yet still harbouring thoughts we can make it. Our home defeat versus Whyteleafe was disappointing. I thought Max played well, despite the three goals, none of which I thought he was at fault for. Indeed Max played with a back injury, too, which he sustained early on in the game and underwent extensive

PAGE 28

treatment at the half-time interval. I think he can be reasonably pleased with his two games in the absence of Lewis, who has now returned from holiday. It would be Interesting to hear some of the supporters views on the season thus far I am, of course, disappointed with our position, however I also look a little deeper to assess where we are. Have we improved our playing style from last year? I think the answer would be, yes. I think we try to play a high-pressing style of football which is entertaining.

THAMESMEAD TOWN V HASTINGS UNITED

As a group, we have certainly not learned to manage games in the right way at times and have been punished. Overall, I do not think we have accumulated the points our performances have deserved. There have been games where we have shown how good we can be, Lewes, Hornchurch, Billericay are three good examples, but consistency has also been our enemy. You will never be short of a goal or two at a Thamesmead game. Here is a good question for you, as a supporter at this level ask yourself this

question: Do I pay my money to be primarily: A) entertained or B) Win at all costs?

> CRAIG’S CORNER

The gaffer will not alter his principles of an attacking, high-press style of football even if at times we get caught on the break. Now many of you who know me would be surprised that I do actually have a sophisticated side to me! So here is a short insight to my “finer” side. Some years ago I learned to dance, ballroom style. No, not very well, I have to admit, but as a footballer, I could not believe how fit you have to be to dance, unbelievable. I enjoyed a night at the Opera last week, a first for me. I have enjoyed going to the theatre in London and locally for many years, I particularly enjoy musicals and comedy in the “farce” format. During the last few years I have also started to listen more and more to classical music. When I was younger I just dismissed classical music as stupid and boring having never been brought up to listen or watch this type of music. It is only when you start to listen and appreciate the style of classical music that you realise virtually every film ever made is based upon and around classical music. War films, thrillers, horror, science fiction. It is incredible, and when you hear a piece of music, you can generally visualize what type of film it would match. Hence I went to the opera “Salome”, wow it was really dramatic and ended with a shocking scene, reminiscent of many a football manager, when somebody lost their head LOL. Don’t worry Gaffer I am sure our Chairman will see the funny side of this article and not get any idea’s !!! As another new experience I am going to the ballet in March so will let you know what I think of that as well. Craig Gibson First-team Coach
