WAYNE HATSWELL We go into tonight’s match against Carlisle on the back of a good point against Exeter on the road at the weekend but will be aiming to get all three points this evening.

We played some great stuff at St.James Park, some of the football we played was really good, I’m just disappointed with the second goal.

When you’re away from home you’ve got to defend your box and I felt we did that really well in the first half, but goals change games and getting the equaliser gave them a lift.

I’m not going to be too despondent, we picked up a point away but we’ve got to turn that into a win tonight and it’s a good week. It’s another point on the board and another one away from home so that’s pleasing.

AMBER FROM THE ATTIC with Chris Shingler

Tonight, we look back at the programme from an exciting 3-3 draw with our visitors Carlisle United, played out here at Rodney Parade just four years ago…

Four of the five players featured on the glossy front cover of this £3 issue are no longer with us; the exception being Matty Dolan, who enjoyed a decent afternoon’s harvest in the field by scoring twice in this topsy-turvy encounter, played out on Saturday the 12th of December 2017.

Those seen on the cover but since departed are Dan Butler, Frank Nouble and David Pipe who appear to be celebrating a recent Joss Labadie goal.

This was of course our former manager Michael Flynn’s first full season in charge and in his column that opens the 64-page issue in earnest on page five, Mike notes that we are coming into the clash with the Cumbrians hot on the heels of back-to back-wins. Indeed, Swindon Town had been beaten on their own front lawn thanks to a Ben Tozer header, whilst Cambridge United had been knocked out of the FA Cup by a 2-0 score-line that had rewarded us with a third-round home clash with Leeds United to look forward to. Flynnie also doffs his cap to athletics coach Christian Malcolm, another Newport boy, who had beaten him to the ‘Welsh Coach of the Year’ award that had

been held the previous Monday at the Celtic Manor.

The t hre e-page player interview featured striker Padraig Amond who had settled into life in a Newport County shirt pretty quickly since his early season move from Hartlepool. He was telling Ben Catton about his career up to this point. Podge, who of course is currently on loan at Exeter City, told of how he felt we needed to cut out a few silly mistakes and that we were more than capable of going on a good run, like we had been earlier in the season, and also reckoned January and February were going to be crucial months.

4-1 at Somerton Park. Hmmm, so, quickly moving on, we turn a page or two and a much happier result is reflected upon in Phil Tanner’s ‘Today’s the Day’ where our 5-0 lamping of Thurrock in a 2009 Conference South fixture is covered. For the record, Gary Warren opened the scoring with “A scrappy effort” following a freekick from Jamie Collins, Craig Reid notched the second from the spot after Ashan Holgate had been bundled over inside the box and Charlie Henry helped himself to a third in a breath-taking first 45 minutes. Charlie fed Reidy for his second and our fourth after 55 minutes and then it was skipper Warren who turned provider for Craig to claim the match ball with his third of the night.

After poring over some great match photos from the Cambridge win, courtesy of the lens of Nicola Johns, we have a two-page report on a recent Checkatrade Trophy defeat at home to Cheltenham Town; a game in which a player I’d completely forgot about in Lamar Reynolds had scored his first competitive goal for us, while another young man by the name of Owen Taylor made his first-team bow.

All you ever needed to know about Carlisle United is incoming courtesy of Richard Taylor and in ‘Blues legend’ Rich looks at Jimmy Glass, who only ever played three games for the men from Brunton Park but of course is forever etched in their history as the goalkeeper who unbelievably scored the goal that saved the Cumbrians from the dreaded drop in May 1999. In ‘County Connections’ our popular 1970s forward Willie Brown features and that £1,500 we spent on the Falkirk-born striker in August 1970 was definitely money well spent as Willie became a very popular figure during his time in our then tangerine shirt. In an additional piece, Richard also tracks down three famous

United fans in former Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton, England cricket player Paul Nixon and former South Bank presenter Melvyn Bragg; although a rider is given that Melvyn was also a Gooner!

The popular Keith Curle was the man in charge at the time and the Bristol-born Curle was assisted at the time by Colin West a former Sunderland striker who had been managed at Roker Park by a certain Len Ashurst. A few names to note in their ranks at the time were Tom Millar, a former Exile in our Spytty Park days of course, Jamie Devitt who was on loan in this very parish early last season, and in fact scored against his former club in our 2-3 defeat there in November 2020, and Reggie Lambe who played in a pre-season match at Undy for us under Anthony Hudson in the summer of 2011.

So, as mentioned, the match ended in a 3-3 thriller. Shawn McCoulsky had given us an interval lead with a 43rd minute effort, but when 52 minutes had quickly ticked by our visitors were ahead thanks to Luke Joyce and Kelvin Etuhu. Matt Dolan scored the first of two stunning free kicks on 56 to make it 2-2 but, as per the norm, an ex-Exile netted against us when Tom Millar got his name on the scoresheet. However, up stepped Matty again on 69 minutes to leave Jack Bonham clutching thin air once again in the away goal to level the match again and end the scoring.

A thoroughly enter tained 3,179 watched on with a hardy 160 loyal souls sitting in the away section.

Teams: County: Joe Day, David Pipe, Dan Butler, Joss Labadie, Ben White, Mickey Demetriou, Mark O’Brien, Robbie Willmott, Matty Dolan, Frank Nouble, Shawn McCoulsky. Subs: James Bittner, Padraig Amond (McClousky), Lamar Reynolds (Pipe), Scot Bennett, Tom Owen-Evans, Modou Touray, Sean Rigg.

Carlisle United: Jack Bonham, Tom Miller, Clint Hill, Tom Parks, James Brown, Mike Jones, Gary Liddle, Luke Joyce, Reggie Lambe, Richie Bennett, Kelvin Etuhu. Subs: Hallam Hope (Brown), Jamie Devitt, Sam Cosgrove, Mark Ellis, John O’Sullivan (Lambe), Shaun Miller (Bennett), Shamal George.

View from the

boardroom A warm welcome to all the Directors, Players and Officials of Carlisle United for this evenings EFL League Two home fixture.

As outlined in our recent communication the club board’s attention has been focused on the recruitment process for our new manager. It has been an interesting process and two things have struck me whilst undertaking the process. Firstly, the calibre of candidates has been really high, reflecting the position and profile of the club. Secondly, the market has moved significantly with more applications from progressive coaches as opposed to experienced managers. This seems to reflect the way football is moving when making such appointments. At the time of writing, we are in the final stages of the recruitment process and will communicate the outcome to fans as soon as a decision is made.

On behalf of the Board, I wanted to thank Wayne, his back-room staff and all the players for their professionalism. It’s never easy when a manager departs. The way Wayne has led everyone supported by his team and the reaction from the players has been impressive. For that we are very appreciative.

Last week I attended the first face-to-face EFL conference for over two years. The conference covered a multitude of topics from the EFL’s contribution to the fan led review, to hearing from the new CEO of the Professional Football Association

(Maheta Molango) on his vison. Rick Parry told the conference the EFL had relayed to the review team that there is a need for better distribution of wealth within the football pyramid to make clubs solvent, but in doing so it is recognised that there needs to be an increase in financial controls to make clubs sustainable. These two elements are intrinsically linked to ensure football clubs within the pyramid continue to operate and prosper for the benefit of the communities they serve. It will be interesting to see what the report relays when it is published in the next few weeks. Maheta’s presentation was really refreshing and most welcome. He highlighted throughout the need for better collaboration, and that is something all clubs would encourage.

Whilst it is early days, the indications are positive.

The relationship between the PFA and the EFL is of paramount importance.

Lastly, this is Ben Lucey’s final home fixture as Club Secretary. Ben is not going too far as he is joining the Dragons. Whilst we are sad that Ben is departing, he goes with our best wishes, and we are pleased he is not going too far and will still be a familiar face around Rodney Parade. Thanks Ben and best of luck with the new role.

Good luck to the lads this evening.

Gavin

Rob Paterson Tribute Sad news to report that long-time County supporter Rob Paterson passed away on Sunday 10 October, aged 60, having become ill en route to the Bradford City game the previous day.

Rob supported County home and away since the 1970s and often told the story of how he missed the 2-1 West Ham FA Cup win in January 1979 due to a knee operation.

His hospitalisation brought its advantages however, as he ended up marrying the nurse who treated him, Jen Lowe, sister of Spytty the Dog’s alter-ego Martin.

Rob went on to be a key player (his words!) of the ‘Never Say Dai’ fanzine football team in the early 1990s and a loyal follower of the reformed club.

He combined his passion for County with a love of Rangers in his native Glasgow, attending their recent League Cup victory over Livingston.

All at the club, including Rob’s many friends in the Bisley, send their sincere sympathy and condolences to Jen at this difficult time.

Giving Football Back to Small Business At eBay, we know small business and football clubs used to be like chips and gravy, two peas in a pod – a match made in community heaven.

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring makers and cobblers, all formed clubs which decades later are still prospering.

But nowadays, you’d think it was all eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues and mega sponsors, detached from the humble origins of our historic clubs.

That’s why eBay are proud to support 300,000 small businesses who help power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be donating our advertising space to a lot of these businesses – on match day hoardings, around grounds and beyond – throughout the coming season, to ensure they can continue to thrive in our local communities. So, join us in giving your support to Small Business Power, because today, they need us more than ever.

The origins of Carlisle United can be traced to 1904, though football in the border city dates back to the 1870s, with Shaddongate United based at Milholme Bank and Red Rose playing at Brunton Park.

The exact relationship of the present club to Shaddongate is a little blurry, though it appears that the latter rebranded themselves as Carlisle United in May 1904 following their expulsion from the Cumberland League after a series of postponed matches. A year later, the ‘new’ club joined the Lancashire Combination and eventually moved to Red Rose’s former Brunton Park in 1909, with the venue empty since Rose’s disbandment three years earlier.

HIGHLIGHTS

Blues’ main claim to fame remains topping the old First Division after three games of the 1974-75 campaign.

Victories on the road at Chelsea and Middlesbrough were followed by a 1-0 success over Tottenham Hotspur to send a near packed Brunton Park into dreamland. Alan Ashman’s side, including the likes of Allan Ross, Bill Green, Ray Train and Bobby Parker, entered Cumbrian folk lore, but arguably none more so than dual sportsman Chris Balderstone who, just a couple of weeks after his penalty winner against Tottenham, swapped football kit for cricket flannels to help Leicestershire win the Sunday League!

Sadly, the fairy-tale ended in relegation nine months later, but the memories remain undimmed.

W W W. N E W P O RT- CO U N T Y.CO. U K The legendary Bill Shankly will always be a ‘red’ following his Liverpool achievements of the 1960s and 1970s, though from 1949-51, his heart was very much ‘blue’, as he spent two seasons in charge at Brunton Park, leading the previously struggling United to 9th and 3rd placed finishes in Division 3 (North). One story tells of Shanks buying a brand new playing kit en route to Lincoln City from a Doncaster sports shop as he was embarrassed for his side to turn up at Sincil Bank in their existing tatty strip, while another tells of him motivating his players by reminding them that the opposition were already shattered following their marathon trek north! The iconic boss subsequently referred to Cumbrians’ promotion to Division 1 as ‘the greatest feat in the history of the game’.

As the fledgling Newport AFC were getting to grips with life in the Hellenic League in 1989-90, United began their own fourth tier campaign with a new club record of 10 undefeated games. Cliff Middlemass’ side eventually lost at home to Scunthorpe United in October, eventually missing out on a play-off place on goal difference.

‘Finally to the supporters, I am proud to have taken the football club to the top of League Two, in December last year, from where we were when I walked in the building and to have given people something to be proud of, encouraged by, and passionate about, during the most challenging time society has seen during my lifetime, through the COVID-19 pandemic. Like you all, I was inspired by the football we played and what I believed we would go on to achieve.’

DON’T MENTION

FANS’ VIEWS

• T he 2003-04 season when Blues dropped out of the Football League for the first (and only) time since their 1928 election.

Relegation had seemed inevitable after United lost 18 of their first 21 games, though newly-appointed player-manager Paul Simpson almost instigated a great escape with a late season surge of form that took them above York City but four points short of survival. Simpson led Carlisle to an immediate Football League return via the play-offs and secured a second successive promotion with the League Two title the following season.

• C arlisle finished bottom of Division 4 in 1992, but were spared relegation as Aldershot had folded before the end of the season, leaving the Football League one club short. Four seasons earlier, Blues finished in 91st place in the fourth tier but, in the days of one-up and one-down with the Conference, escaped the drop by a mammoth 19 points ahead of … Newport County!

• R ivalries, as Carlisle struggle to have any! Last season saw the return of the ‘Cumbrian Derby’ with Barrow, but with the clubs around an hour and a half drive and nearly 90 miles apart, there is no traditional animosity. Workington, just 30 miles away, is considerably closer, though the clubs have not met in the Football League since 1964 though Blues did defeat Reds 4-1 in a 1980 FA Cup tie. A 2019 survey, ‘The League of Love and Hate’ published by Chris Whiting, saw Carlisle fans list Middlesbrough, Preston North End, Sunderland and Newcastle United as their chief protagonists, though Blues don’t feature in the top four of supporters from those sides.

CUMBRIANS TODAY

Head coach departs The defeat at Bristol Rovers brought the end of Chris Beech’s Brunton Park reign. Assistant Gavin Skelton has been placed in caretaker charge, along with experienced youth coach Eric Kinder, with a club statement reading: ‘Carlisle United Football Club can confirm that head coach Chris Beech has left the club with immediate effect. Gavin Skelton and Eric Kinder will take temporary charge of first team affairs. The club would like to thank Chris for his efforts over the past two years.’

The former head coach released was clearly proud of his achievements in Cumbria, commenting in a statement: ‘To the players, past and present, who have worked under me at Carlisle, thank you for your contributions as individuals, committed to delivering the core values that we want representing the football club, as we chase that three-point feeling week after week and hopefully, in one way or another you will feel you have grown, improved and learned to be better on and off the pitch.

CARETAKER HEAD COACH’S VIEW

Carlisle caretaker head coach and former number two Gavin Skelton speaking ahead of Saturday’s trip to Tranmere Rovers.

‘It is a difficult time. It always is when someone loses their job and sometimes people just see the football side of it. What I can say is the gaffer is a really good man, really fair with me, really fair with the players. The board contacted me Wednesday afternoon to take training Thursday, Friday and the game Saturday and that is what our focus has been on. I have not got my CV in.’

‘Top bloke. As many others have said, he can’t take the whole blame, but should have done better regardless. All the best for future Chris.’ ’Crispo’ tweeting on the managerial change.

‘I wish Chris all the best, but it is very much the correct decision; it was good up until Christmas but since then it simply has not been good enough.’

Blues fan Tom Walton on Twitter.

‘Sad to see but I think the time was right, I hoped you could turn it around I really did. I wish you all the best for the future.’

A supportive message for the former head coach from Vicci Thornley.

‘Great guy, but ultimately did not work out and this is the best option for the club, all the best for the future Chris.’

A similar message from Matthew Gaskell.

‘In all seriousness, thanks for your service Chris, you’re a top, top bloke and I wish you all the best, had you had good backing … maybe you might still be in a job. Thanks for everything, best of luck ‘ Adam Stoddart with words of support.

30 Brad Young

MIDFIELDER

STRIKER

One of only two academy graduates to be rewarded with a full contract at the end of last season, along with Lewis Bell, with six others released.

After recovering from a pre-season injury the dead-ball specialist went out on loan in early September to Workington in the lower tier of the Northern Premier League.

On loan for the season from Aston Villa. Brad signed professional terms with Villa in July 2019 when he was still 16. He was immediately promoted to the U18 squad and scored seven goals in his first nine appearances.

He featured in the EFL Trophy in November 2020 and then played the last 30 minutes in the 4-1 FA Cup defeat

by Liverpool in January, when the main squad was in isolation and Villa fielded 16 debutants.

Gavin Skelton:

Acting Head Coach It illustrates the harsh world of management in League Two that the first version of this page featured Chris Beech as Head Coach and there may be another incumbent by the time you read this.

The former Rochdale stalwart was in charge at Brunton Park for just short of two years and oversaw a big overhaul of playing staff, but the promise in a great first half of last season wasn’t sustained.

Last season United placed tenth, seven points outside the playoff places, and the writing was on the wall early this month when they slipped to 22nd place after losing 3-0 at fellow strugglers Bristol Rovers.

Gavin was Beech’s number two, having stepped up to the role from youth coach in June 2019 when Steven Pressley was manager.

The brother of TV presenter Helen, he played against County in the Conference when he was with fellow Cumbrians Barrow. He was with Carlisle’s centre of excellence from the age of eight.

Now 40, he brings a wealth of playing, coaching and managerial experience on both sides of the border to the role, having played more than 200 games for Gretna during their rise through the ranks in Scotland and then managed Workington and Queen of the South.

Gavin is assisted in caretaker charge by youth coach Eric Kinder.
