Good Afternoon and welcome to the Greenfields sports arena for today's match v high flying Marine FC. I would like to wish the players, officials, and supporters of Marine FC an enjoyable afternoon here in Shropshire and a safe journey home.

The club are certainly flying the flag for the NPL and Step 4 football.

As I stated two weeks ago, a number of players have left the club and new players have joined the squad. Good Luck to those players who have decided to play elsewhere and a warm welcome to those who have joined during the club with a view to progress up this tough league.

We are still searching for the right manager to take the club forward and I have interviewed prospective managers, but talks did not reach a suitable outcome for both parties.

Thanks for your continued support during these difficult times .

Thanks for your attendance, Mick Murphy Chairman.

MARINE AFC www.marinefc.com

The Club was formed in 1894 by a group of local businessmen and former college students – taking its name from the hotel on the River Mersey sea front at Waterloo, seven miles to the north of Liverpool – where the founders met. They moved to their present ground The Marine Travel Arena (formerly known as Rossett Park) in 1903.

Marine quickly made an impression on local football, winning numerous titles in the I Zingari League and the Liverpool Combination. Their greatest success as an amateur team in this period culminated in an F.A. Amateur Cup Final appearance in 1931/32, when they lost 7 – 1 to Dulwich Hamlet in front of a 22,000 crowd at West Ham United. In 1946 they went close again by reaching the semi-final. In 1935/36 they moved to the all-professional Lancashire Combination and enjoyed limited success before moving to the Cheshire County League in 1969/70. In 1972 Roly Howard was appointed first team manager and completed 1,975 competitive games over a 33 year period before retiring at the end of the 2004/05 season. He was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the longest serving manager in world football as Marine enjoyed its most successful period winning some 30 trophies.

The Club relinquished its amateur status and became professional in 1974. Three Cheshire League Championships were won in five seasons before progressing to the Northern Premier League in 1979/80. They have twice been Champions (1993/94 and 1994/95) as well as twice being runners-up and have won the League Cup on four occasions (1984/85, 1991/92, 2002/03 & 2015/16) which is a league record.

In more recent times, the club have had a number of managers including Alvin McDonald (2005-2009), Kevin Lynch (20092013), Phil Brazier (2013-2014), Carl Macauley (2014-2015), Sean Hessey (2015-2016). Alvin qualified for the UniBond Premier play-offs in two seasons, losing to the eventual play off champions on both occasions. Kevin Lynch narrowly missed out on a play off place over his reign and Phil Brazier enjoyed his first season of football management. In February 2015, following a disappointing run of results, Carl Macauley left the club and defender Sean Hessey took over team affairs as caretaker manager. In Sean’s final 12 games in charge of the season, the club escaped relegation by losing 1, drawing 5 and winning 6 matches and were handed a reprieve, following the demise of Salisbury City. In February 2017, the club parted company with Sean Hessey following a poor run of results, the increasing threat of relegation and poor discipline on the pitch. With just a few weeks of the 2016/2017 season remaining, former Skelmersdale United manager Tommy Lawson was appointed as manager. In 2017/2018, his first full season in charge, Tommy and his team reached the second round proper of the FA Trophy losing away to Dover and also reached the Liverpool Senior Cup Final for the first time in a decade.

Tommy Lawson resigned as manager in September 2018 with experienced and successful manager Neil Young being appointed as manager, assisted by Alan Morgan & coach Ian Johnson. In April 2019, the club were relegated for the first time in their history competed in the Northern Premier League First Division North West in their 125th Anniversary year which was cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 with the Mariners in a play-off position.

MARINE AFC www.marinefc.com

Season 2020/2021 will be best known for the magnificent Emirates FA Cup run which was a record breaker; having won through seven rounds beating Barnoldswick Town, Frickley Athletic, Runcorn Linnets, Nantwich Town, Chester, Colchester United and Havant & Waterlooville on the way before taking on Premier League Tottenham Hotspur at the Marine Travel Arena. Club Officials worked tirelessly to get the green light with the relevant authorities to stage the tie at home.

Meanwhile the Covid-19 pandemic was still rife, and the team only played seven league games with five wins and two losses. Manager Neil Young was offered a three-year contract ahead of the 2021/2022 season commencing.

Marine’s best performances in the F.A. Cup was reaching the 3rd Round in 1992/3 (losing 3-1 to Crewe Alexandra) and in 2020/1 (losing at home 5-0 to Tottenham Hotspur, with the game being broadcast live on BBC Match of the Day and watched by a record nearly 40 million viewers worldwide). Marine have also achieved eleven first and two second round appearances in the FA Cup and have beaten three Football League Clubs (Barnsley, Halifax Town & Colchester United) in the competition. Marine have twice reached the semi-finals of the F.A. Trophy in 1983/84 and 1991/92 and have been winners of 13 senior county cups. Marine have won the Liverpool Senior Cup seven times and the Lancashire Trophy Challenge Trophy three times.

The club have twice won the accolade as Football Foundation Community Club of the Year in 2009 and 2010, as voted by readers of the Non League Paper and in March 2011, the club were awarded the FA Charter Standard Community Club award by the Football Association. In 2010, the club was awarded Club of the Year by outgoing league sponsors UniBond.

The club is continuing to make improvements to their Marine Travel Arena base, nine years ago new floodlights were installed at a cost of £70,000. Six year ago, the unused area under the stand was turned into a new community facility, matchday boardroom, hospitality suite and offices, all funded by donations. In summer 2016, the club demolished the old wooden building which housed the club shop, kit and groundsman store and extended the car park. In summer 2019, the old wooden buildings at the front of the stadium were demolished in a project costing £120,000. New modular units replaced the old facilities and housed new offices, hospitality suites, tea room, kit store, first aid room, steward control room and club shop. In 2019/2020, the club celebrated their 125th Anniversary Year, which saw the launch of a new club crest, kit, tie, photographic history book and beer.

During the summer of 2021, and with the monies raised from the FA Cup run, the club completely refurbished the clubrooms with the installation of a new bar and bistro, open seven days a week and the party function room completely transformed. The club had also hoped to install a new 3G Pitch for community use. The initial planning approval was delayed and then due to a late change of the build method, the costs increased by 30 percent by the contractors and the club decided to postpone this until summer 2022. .
