TODAY’S OPPONENTS...

ALFRETON TOWN North Ferriby United will be hoping to consolidate their second place finish when they take on Alfreton Town this afternoon. A victory or draw today would suffice given their superior goal different but the Villagers come up against an Town side with only pride at sake left for them. Regardless of the result today and the outcome of the Play-offs, Ferriby can be proud of their season especially given the off-the-field uncertainty in the build-up to the new season. The Villagers bounced back from their 3-2 loss against Gloucester City by making a nightmare journey to Lowestoft Town but prevailed with a 3-0 win. The Reds come into this fixture on the back of a 0-0 draw with Belper Town in the Derbyshire Senior Cup before previously being beaten 3-0 at home to Stockport County. North Ferriby claimed the spoils the last time the teams met with Liam King’s freekick the difference.

MANAGER: Nicky Law The 2015/16 season sees the Reds boss in his ninth consecutive season as manager of Alfreton Town which also gives him the honour of being the longest ever serving manager of the club. This season, he has been charged with rebuilding the squad following relegation from the Conference Premier Division on goal difference on the final day of the 2014/15 campaign but he had kept them at non league’s top level for four seasons after winning the Conference North title in 2010/11.

His progress has been rewarded with the captaincy of the side for the 2015/16 season.

A strong, positive player who can play central midfield but also on the right, he had a tremendous first season with the Reds, netting 11 goals from central midfield and his efforts were rewarded still further when he won an England C cap in a 6-1 win in Bermuda.

Alfreton Town

CLUB HISTORY The present Alfreton Town Football Club celebrated the milestone of their Golden Jubilee year at the end of the 2008/2009 campaign having been formed in 1959 following the merger of Alfreton Miners Welfare and Alfreton United football clubs. The newly constituted club, playing on a new ground on North Street provided by the local council, was admitted directly to the Central Alliance Division One (North) and progressed sufficiently in the first two seasons to gain entry to the reformed Midland Counties League. After holding the wooden spoon in 1961/62 Alfreton seldom looked back and took the Midland League title in 1969/70 after several near misses. The triumph was repeated three years later and again in 1976/77. Alfreton won the Midland League Cup in three successive seasons in the 1970’s and the trophy was presented to the club as a permanent memento of the feat. Further success came in the Northern Counties East League following the merger of the Midland and Yorkshire Leagues

in 1982. They were champions in 1986/87 before accepting a place in the newly formed First Division of the Northern Premier League for season 1987/88. Early seasons in the new League were not very successful and Alfreton finished bottom of the League in 1990/91. However, reorganisation of non-league football in Wales meant a number of clubs left the NPL and Alfreton were saved from relegation. The 1994/95 season when they finished runners-up to Lancaster City and were promoted to the Premier Division of the Northern Premier League for the first time ever. A two-year tenure proved difficult and after escaping a return to UniBond Division One in the 1996/97 campaign, a downward spiral struck and successive relegations saw the club slip back into the Northern Counties (East) League at the end of the 1998/99 season. The 2001/02 campaign saw Jason Maybury replaced as player/ manager in late October by Chris Wilder and unprecedented success followed as the Reds landed four trophies - the Northern Counties (East) League Premier Division championship, League Cup, President’s Cup and Derbyshire Senior Cup. North Ferriby United The Official Matchday Programme

Various managers came and went at the club but ahead of the 2007/08 season, former Chesterfield and Bradford City boss Nicky Law took over as Reds manager in June having had two highly successful seasons with Buxton. The 2008/09 saw the side third in Conference North and competed in the play-offs for the first time ever, narrowly losing out in the semi-finals on a 5-4 aggregate against AFC Telford United who lost out in the final. The side went on better the previous year and but lost again in the final. The 2010/11 campaign saw a third promotion tilt prove ultimately successful as Law and O’Neill’s fourth season in charge at the Impact Arena ended with the side winning the Blue Square Bet North title. The first season in the Conference Premier saw them finish a very respectable 15th when their form clicked. The following season they suffered no signs of “second season syndrome” ending the campaign in 13th. Continuing their good season finishes the side ended the 2013/14 in 11th but that ended when they suffered relegation in 2014/15 on the final day of the season.
