Members of the Northern Premier League and Staffs FA

Talk of The Town Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our game down here at the Red Industries Stadium. Today we welcome Market Drayton Town who have made the short trip from Shropshire to be with us and no doubt they will have a large following with them. We hope that they all enjoy their visit to us and have a safe journey home.

Following our fine victory on Saturday against City of Liverpool we will be looking to pick up another three points in order to try and avoid the dreaded play-offs. Victory today and again next Saturday at Trafford would make it almost certain that we would be safe.

The Supporter's Player of the Year vote is now open, and supporters can pick up a voting slip today at the ground and cast their vote in person, we will then open the email vote after the game.

Next season the opening game in the Northern Premier League is on Saturday 13th August but we may be playing a week earlier in the FA Cup as the Extra Preliminary Round is on Saturday 6th August unless we get a bye. Keep an eye out for the pre-season games that we are starting to put together.

Hope you enjoy the game and a safe journey home.

VIEW FROM THE BOARD It has been a tough season on many levels for the club, with results on the pitch clearly not being what the team, fans or board would have wished for and of course the recent passing of our long time Chairman Paul Ratcliffe dealt us a further blow.

It is of course at these times that you all have to stick together and not panic.

Sometimes things go against you in football and it’s how you react and bounce back from defeat that matters most. One pleasing note has been the increased gates to first team games, hopefully this continues to grow into next season and beyond.

Our Under 18s have had more success this season with a County Cup win against Haughmond, and our Under 17s have made it to the Sentinel Cup Final on the 28th April. There have been plenty of success for all the junior teams across the board.

It has been great to see some of the Youth team progress into the First Team, namely William Lloyd and recently Ollie Torjussen.

Our BTEC Scholarship programme has gone from strength to strength, and the quality of the course and football is ever increasing.

Finally it’s a plea from me to the local community to come and support the club. There are many challenges that non league clubs face at present, none more so than the lack of volunteers to support the day to day running of the organization. We have many ways you can help, and it doesn’t need to be many hours.

I urge you to play your part, come and get involved

Gavin Appleby

View from the Dugout It has been a wonderful Easter weekend so far with some lovely weather and 3 points on Saturday away to City of Liverpool.

Saturday's game was just like the previous 7 or 8 games, a game with few chances but the difference was that we made one big moment count and didn't really give any chances away. the big moments haven't been very kind to us in the many tight games we have played all season and is the reason why we still need points at this moment in time.

We welcome Market Drayton today who picked up a great comeback point on Saturday in a game that will be very difficult I'm sure as it always is against Drayton.

They are looking for points and personal pride not to finish last and we need 3 points to secure league status so we will expect an exciting and competitive game today.

It is a chance for us to pick up 6 points in 3 days which does not very often in football and with league status at stake we will give it everything again today like we have done every game this season.

We hope you will enjoy the game and our hospitality.

Market Drayton Town FC Historically, football in Market Drayton has roots which go well back to 1893. Records show that the main game that season was against Blackburn Rovers and other games were played against Shrewsbury, Wellington and Oswestry. Drayton must have been a town of some repute as three teams were operating in the town up to the end of 1930s! The Town team was called the Nomads and played on the Maer Lane ground which had up to 500 supporters in attendance at most home games.

Just after the war in 1946, the town ran two teams - one in the Shrewsbury and District League, the other in the Market Drayton and District League. The Shrewsbury League players consisted mainly of men from the RAF stations at Tern Hill and Stoke Heath, symbols of the good relations existing between the town and the services which continue to do so. The club officials were encouraged in their efforts by those enthusiasts who match after match supported the team both home and away, and the gates for this period were the envy of every other club in the county. In the season 1952/53 the Town club successfully applied for membership to the Shropshire County League, the County’s senior league. The club finished reasonably well and played in the Challenge Cup Final against Newport Town at the Gay Meadow.

From 1958 to 1962 the club obtained the services of Jack Brown as Manager. He was an examateur international and reasonable success was gained under his guidance, winning the County League Challenge Cup and the Powell Charity Cup in 1960.

Following disbandment in the early 1960s, the present club was formed in 1969 as a factory side named Little Drayton Rangers, and playing in the Crewe Sunday League, but moved on to the Telford Sunday League. The club then moved to the County League playing on Saturdays and winning the First Division at the first attempt. After several years winning local cup and league trophies, the club moved into the West Midlands League, and swiftly gained promotion to the Premier Division.

At the start of 2003/04, the present committee was formed, and the name was changed, taking up the name of the old town club which had folded many years ago. The following six seasons saw the club improve year on year both on and off the field. In the first season as Market Drayton Town FC, the team finished seventh in the West Midlands Premier Division and won the Shropshire Challenge Cup at the Gay Meadow. The second season (2004/05) saw Drayton achieve runners-up spot to Tipton Town in the League but again won the Shropshire Challenge Cup. The following season (2005/06) Drayton finally gained promotion to the Midland Football Alliance (MFA) by winning the league (by 18 points) and again won

Market Drayton Town FC the Shropshire Challenge Cup for a record third year in a row. In 2006/07, Drayton embarked on a new era, playing in the MFA, Shropshire Senior Cup with AFC Telford and Shrewsbury Town, Staffs Senior Cup, FA Cup, Vase Cup and League Cup. After securing status in the MFA by finishing thirteenth in the first year and then finishing a very close third in 2007/08, Drayton were very much hoping to go one step further and gain promotion from the MFA. After a long hard season in 2008/09 where 56 games were played, Drayton achieved the main aim and were crowned Midland Football Alliance League Champions finishing 8 points ahead of second place Barwell Town. With astonishing statistics: 31 league wins, 24 league clean sheets, 111 league goals scored, 31 league goals conceded and only 5 league defeats, a few Alliance records were broken, and the club went on to win the League and Cup double by defeating Boldmere St Michaels at Walsall’s Bank’s Stadium in the League Cup Final 2 – 0, one of only two clubs to ever have that accolade. A great end to a fantastic year for the football club. During that season Drayton also managed to reach the last sixteen of the FA Vase but unfortunately lost at Biggleswade Town 4 – 5. Various managers were employed by the club during this time including Jimmy Mullen and Greg Clowes who brought stability to the team.

In December 2014, Town appointed Martyn Davies as player/manager with Steve McCormick as his assistant. Martyn is a club stalwart who has scored almost 300 goals in his time as a player for the club. Having staved off relegation in 2014/15, 2015/16, was Martyn’s first full year as manager and he led the team to their best ever league performance by finishing in eleventh position and for a while were thereabouts in the Playoff places. The last three seasons have seen the club at the wrong end of the table but have still maintained their place in the National League System despite a low budget. Martyn decided to resign at the end of the 2018/19 season to spend more time with his family and Chairman Mick Murphy decided to appoint another club stalwart, Steve McCormick as manager assisted by Nick Roberts and Coach John Timmiss.

Having achieved just one win from the first ten league games, the chairman decided to remove Steve from managerial duties. Coach John Timmiss also departed.

Martyn Davies was persuaded by the Chairman to return to the club and try to help maintain the club’s status at Step 4. Martyn then stepped down to allow Dan Stevens to take the reigns. The outbreak of COVID 19 curtailed the season in March and we now go into year eleven at Step 4. Dan has now departed the club and Richard Brown has now taken over as manager. Market Drayton are known to be one of the friendliest clubs in the league with great hospitality. It is likely we will be moving to a new ground in the 2022/23 season which should take us forward, especially off the pitch

N U A SH CHATS

This week our media man Shaun Rogers caught up with the management and coaching staff to get there highs and lows of the season

Toughest Opponent (Team) you feel we have faced this season for both tactical and technical reasons, and why RVDL - Toughest teams, Workington and marine as they were both physically strong and had quality players in all areas of the pitch

Name a Player we have played against that you would sign up (if any) RVDL - Sefton Gonzales PG - Sefton Gonzales (Clitheroe) - All round CF package

PG - Warrington Rylands, physical, well organized, play the right way, an excellent team throughout.

PW - Sefton Gonzales from Clitheroe.

Unplayable on his day

PW - The Best Team we have come up against in my eyes was Runcorn. Everybody knew their roles and responsibilities and the were difficult to get anything from

JR - For me a player who would be a great addition would have to be David symington from workington who coincidentally is my team for the toughest opponent this season.

JR - I think Workington are a real top side.

Quality all over the park and some very clever players in advanced positions which is no surprise where they are in the league What's been your highlight of the season for us, can be a moment on the pitch, goal etc RVDL - last minute winner from Tommy v Prescott at home PG - Our home win against Colne, best all round performance collectively of the season so far, everyone was fantastic PW - Highlight of the season for me has been the progression of Will Lloyd. 17 years old and to perform like he has over a number of games has been fantastic JR - the 3,2 win away to bootle after a poor first half and we galvanised with nat scoring a hatrick and Owen turning a unconvincing performance first half with an outstanding second

I would like to express my thanks to all the coaching staff for the support they have shown to the media department this season and wish you all a happy summer break.
