The View of the Manager We recently caught up with the manager Russell Leadbetter, to discuss the last few games Maine Road
Not our best performance especially first half, Maine Road controlled the game and we only really played in short spells. Getting in at half time nil nil and giving ourselves a chance in the second half was an achievement. Second half we came out and got going a bit more and scored three goals. Disappointing to concede two but I knew before the game it was always going to be a tight affair
Stafford Town
A really tough result to take. If the first half had have been a boxing match it would have been stopped. I can’t remember them getting out of their half. We lacked quality in the final third and failed to put any of our many chances away. Second half we never came out, Stafford kept playing for set pieces as they did all game and unfortunately 2 lapses of concentration cost us 2 goals and we lost 2-0.
Atherstone Town
There wasn’t too much in this game at all, fine margins lost us the game. As I say the game was even from start to finish I don’t think any side was better than the other. 1 nil up early doors.. I think we let them in way too easy for their first goal.. Ot went right to the death, they had a man sent off for a professional foul with a fe wminutes to go, handbags started to fly round and that what cost us getting involved in all the commotion, we lost concentration, they went up the other end and scored.. No excuses from me, again we had chances to kill the game but that little bit of quality we needed in the final third wasn’t there again on this occasion..

CLUB HISTORY Abbey Hulton United Football Club was formed 73 years ago in 1947, making it one of the oldest formed clubs still playing Saturday football in North Staffordshire. During its very early days the club played on Council land in the Abbey Hulton area. It continued to use this facility for the first 15 years, despite the fact that the changing facilities were more than a mile away from the actual pitch. In 1962 it was decided that the team should move to the Parks facility at Bucknall Park which was complete with its own changing rooms and showers adjacent to the pitch. What a luxury. The team continued to use Bucknall Park for another 23 years, until 1985. During the period from 1947 to 1985 the team played in many local junior leagues such as: • The Longton League • Fenton and District League • Burslem and Tunstall League • Newcastle and District League They graced all the above leagues with great distinction. Over the years the club became more financially stable and grew in ambition. Finally in 1985 they acquired a piece of land at Birches Head Road on which it was able to obtain a 99 year lease. This is the clubs current address. Immediately, a clubhouse was built containing a bar and changing rooms for both teams and officials. At the same time an outside 5 a-side football facility was built, complete with floodlights. Having moved to this new facility the club opted to join the North Staffs Alliance League. It completed in this leauge before seeking election to one of the top leagues in the area, The Staffs County League (North), in 1987. The team played in this league and finally had a momentous season in 1997-1998 by winning the league, the cup and also the fair play award all in one season. Having achieved this feat the club applied to join what is the top junior league in North Staffordshire, the Staffordshire County Senior League. In 2017 Abbey Hulton United won the Staffordshire County Senior Premier League Championship and were promoted to the North West County Football League.

Welcome to Cheadle heath nomads Cheadle Heath Nomads was formed in 1919, immediately after the First World War The club is, therefore approaching its centenary. A photograph of the team around that time shows a bizarre combination of ages was necessary to get a team together and for obvious reasons. With the war over a group of individuals (Messrs. Sanderson, Bentley, Hopwood, Hulme, Johnson, Taylor and Nuttall) began a fund raising project to raise £1000 (some money in those days) to buy the piece of land 'on the other side of the bridge' in Cheadle (as opposed to Cheadle Heath!) to create a sports club for the area and in 1921 the club opened with Cheadle Heath Nomads at its core, although it also provided facilities for Cricket, Tennis and Ladies' Hockey. The gentlemen named above became the first Trustees of the club and the club remains a Trusteeship, owning its own land with all the pros and cons that entails. Nomads joined the Lancashire and Cheshire AFL and, after a brief break in 1927 stayed in the L&C until 1994. The club struggled for money in the 1930's and even changed its club colours from green and yellow quarters to white. Every player had to bring his own white shirt! The colours changed again to claret and blue after the 2ndWorld War and they remain the club's colours today. The club thrived immediately after the 2ndWorld War with some improvements in infrastructure with the erection of a Nissan hut with a bar etc. and the teams became hugely successful, especially in the early 1950's. Players at that time such as Doug Berry, Johnny Whittaker, Bob Stuart etc. became the backbone of the club for several years after they had finished playing! Nomads had often contemplated moving into the Mid Cheshire League (now The Cheshire League) but had been constrained by the presence of cricket with a corner of the football pitch forming part of the cricket outfield. With the demise of the cricket section (tennis and hockey had finished already) and success on the field a step up into the Mid Cheshire League was the obvious way to go.
Welcome to Cheadle heath nomads The hard-working committee, based around Roy Welsh and Jim Hardie had been strengthened by the Gibbons family (George, Dave and John) and the club moved forward with confidence. Winning the 2nd. Division in its first season, Nomads consolidated in the First Division until 2004 when it merged with Linotype F C. Linotype were in the same league (now The Cheshire League) but were having problems retaining the facilities at The Silver Wings Club in Timperley. At the same time Nomads were struggling both on and off the field (Roy Welsh and George Gibbons holding the fort) and a merger of the two organisations made sense, especially as the committee would incorporate two grafters in Brian McGuinness and Jim Calderbank. Cheadle Heath Nomads became Linotype Cheadle Heath Nomads. There then followed a generally satisfactory playing record until the Cheshire Football League championship was won in season 2013-14. Nomads has remained in the top echelons of the league since (coming 2nd, 5th. and 4th.) Over the same period there were significant improvements to the playing surface and the facilities with the addition of new changing rooms, the erection of a 50 seater stand and a significant spend on improving the drainage, all with a view to moving into the NWCFL for season 2019/20 The re-structuring of the NWCFL for season 2018/19, however, provided an opportunity too good to miss whilst at the same time providing a significant challenge for a group of individuals to do two years work in one. George Gibbons (the same one), Steve Jenkins, Ian Taylor and Paul Farmer have put in a mountain of work and with Roy Welsh (the same one) steering the ship, especially financially, the club's facilities will soon include floodlights (by the start of the season), hard standing and new barriers, standing accommodation, spectator toilets etc. - and with more improvements to come. It also provided an opportune time for the club to change its name back to the original Cheadle Heath Nomads F.C. in time for its centenary next year.
