#ASHSTP 9 @ashfordtownmx Today’s Opponents South Park

Club History South Park Football Club was formed in 1897 and immediately became founder members of the Redhill & District Football League along with other local clubs Godstone, Meadvale and Reigate Priory Reserves. The club remain members of the league today.

Although the facili�es were basic the early matches were played in the original sports field which was in upper South Park between Crescent Road and Church Road. In 1925 under the direc�on of Canon Gregory from the local church, the football club together with the village cricket club formed the South Park Sports Associa�on with the aim of the Associa�on to provide sport and spor�ng facili�es for the people of South Park. Within a few years it was realised that this new concept would be be�er served by an improvement in facili�es and playing condi�ons. Fortunately for both club’s suitable land existed in Whitehall Lane, the clubs current home and with the co-opera�on of the public spirited landowner, Harold Swannack, four acres of ground were purchased there. Always strapped for cash in these early years, the money was raised for the field largely by public subscrip�on, which included door to door collec�ons.

In order to preserve the land as a permanent sports ground, great foresight was exercised in ves�ng the land and subsequent purchases of further lots of two acres and four acres making ten acres in all in the Na�onal Playing Fields Associa�on, now known as Fields in trust. The land became known as the ‘King Georges Field’ from 1935. The changing rooms were located on the far side of the field from Whitehall Lane at the bo�om of the number two football pitch. Although the facili�es were an improvement on their previous home they remained basic.

The football club flourished in the years leading to the Second Great War but obviously declined during and immediately a�er it. A handful of stewards rallied to the cause however and quickly resurrected its fortunes. One legacy of the hos�li�es, the air raid shelter, became the focus of a�en�on when it became clear that further improvements were needed to the facili�es if spor�ng aspira�ons were to be advanced. Thus it was that a shower room and toilet block and a modest clubhouse were a�ached to this building. Funding for this was achieved through the �reless efforts of the ‘Friends of South Park Sports Associa�on’ organisa�on. Despite these commendable efforts, the Associa�on lived for many years on a hand to mouth basis with the management all too frequently having to put their hands into their own pockets to ensure its survival.

During this period the playing side of the football club flourished with numerous honours won in the local leagues and cups together with appearances in County Cup finals. The club were also honoured in the fact that a number of players progressed to senior football with clubs such as Redhill and Eastbourne Town in the fi�ies and six�es, the heyday of non league football. The seven�es and eigh�es brought further improvements to the changing facili�es and clubroom and the purchase of the land that is now our main pitch were made. In the early seven�es the football club started the junior’s sec�on. Over the years the number of teams has increased on a regular basis and today we have boy’s teams from under eight’s through to under sixteen’s.

In 1997 the football club celebrated its Centenary year, the highlight of which was a celebratory dinner held at Reigate Manor Hotel at which over 150 people a�ended. Many players both past and present a�ended along with guests from The Football Associa�on and Surrey County Football Associa�on. The club was presented with its own unique framed cer�ficate from the Football Associa�on to mark this occasion.

The club was once again celebra�ng in 1998 when Geof Thatcher was awarded a Gold Medal by the Football Associa�on to commemorate over 50 years service to football, the whole period with our club da�ng back to the war years when the club only played friendly matches as their was no compe��ve football during the war.

2001 saw Reigate Town Football Club move to South Park and the club became known as South Park & Reigate Town Football Club. In 2002 the club saw the forma�on of the first girl’s team to play under the clubs name and we now have four girl’s teams. The following the year saw the introduc�on of the youth team who are currently playing in the Southern Youth Floodlight League. The youth team played their home matches at Merstham Football Club from 2003–2007 as at the �me we did not have floodlights.

For the 2003/04 season the club reverted back to its original name of South Park Football Club. In February 2004 the club became only the fi�h in Surrey to be awarded the status of ‘FA Charter Standard Community Club’. In 2006 the first team were promoted to the Combined Coun�es Football League and as our new changing facili�es were being built played their home matches at Cranleigh. In their first season in the Combined Coun�es League the team finished in seventh place in the league.

#ASHSTP 11 @ashfordtownmx

12 #ASHSTP ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com South Park continued....

2007 saw the comple�on of our new changing rooms and the erec�on of floodlights around our main pitch. This ensured that our first and youth teams could now play their home matches in South Park.

The 2008/09 season saw another landmark in the history of the club when we hosted Shoreham in our first ever FA Vase game. The 2009/10 season saw the club finish in their highest posi�on (6th) since joining the Combined Coun�es League. The club has con�nued to progress and in August 2010 our stand will be erected which will give us the ground grading required for the first team to gain promo�on. The 2010/11 season will saw the club par�cipate in the FA Cup for the �me with an away �e against Greenwich Borough in the extra preliminary round. This game was covered by ITV Sport to start their Road to Wembley coverage as were our subsequent �es against Horsham YMCA and Cray Wanderers. The first team won the Surrey Premier Cup Final and the Lemon Recordings Division One Challenge Cup in addi�on to being promoted to the Premier Division of the Cherry Red Records Combined Coun�es League.

The 2011/12 saw South Park finish in eighth posi�on in their first season in the Combined Coun�es League Premier Division. A good run in the FA Carlsberg Vase saw us reach the Fourth Round where we were beaten by Whitley Bay, the Vase winners for the previous three seasons. Playing in the Surrey Senior Cup for the first �me Park beat Ryman Premier League Kingstonian and Leatherhead before finally being knocked out in the quarter finals by Conference South Su�on Utd. Season 2012/13 saw the club reach the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup with Budweiser where we played Metropolitan Police in front of a club record a�endance of 643. The team finished the season in 4th place in the league and reached the league cup final.

The 2013/14 season saw South Park win the Combined Coun�es League Premier Division and in doing so gain promo�on to the Isthmian League Division One South. Our first season at step four saw us finish in a creditable 14th posi�on. Each season has seen us improve on the previous season’s league posi�on with an 8th place finish in 2016/17. The 2016/17 season also saw us reach the 2nd Round of the FA Trophy where we drawn away to Tranmere Rovers. South Park finished the 2017/18 season in 13th place in the league. They also reached the semi finals of the Surrey Senior Cup for the first �me. Malcolm Porter announced that he would be stepping down as manager due to business commitments at the end of the 2017/18 season. Mick Sullivan was appointed as manager however a�er a poor start to the season the club accepted his resigna�on in mid October. Jay Love� was appointed manager and took charge of his first game at the beginning of November. Park went into the final game of the season needing to match Molesey’s result to retain their step 4 status. Park secured a 3-2 victory and Manager Jay Love� is made a number of new signings to strengthen the squad as we enter our sixth season at this level.

It must also be noted that without the �reless efforts of the late Fred Dearmun, Geof Thatcher, Ray Wilson and Geof Arnold to name but a few, the club would not be in the posi�on it is today.

#ASHSTP 35 @ashfordtownmx

By David Richardson Late postponements are some�mes going to happen in Non-League football. A sudden downpour, drop in temperature or even a fast-se�ng fog. But Farsley Cel�c’s FA Trophy replay at Barnet last Tuesday night (January 21st) was called off just minutes before kick-off because of a frozen pitch. It meant a 380-mile round trip for the part-�me visitors was completely wasted. You can imagine how annoyed they would have been. They had to make the same trip this Tuesday night! We accept that there will be �mes when games have to be postponed but so soon before kick-off in these circumstances is a bi�er pill to swallow. Farsley say they are going to push for answers to make sure it’s not repeated and incidents like this will o�en spark the debate on Trophy replays. But that doesn’t help the fans who made the long trek and will do so again. Part-�me players will have to take the �me off work all over again, but it’s the fans, who will also be le� out of pocket from the first trip. At least the Na�onal League Bees offered free admission and a couple of Barnet fans were also sure to buy them a drink a�er the game had been called off. Football gives the impression that it forgets its fans at �mes. Escala�ng prices are forcing Premier League followers out of stadiums and into Non-League grounds. They should be embraced and welcomed. But stories like this don’t show Non-League off in its best light. Barnet have had issues with their pitch this season and we can only hope Tuesday’s game goes ahead as scheduled. We want to be talking about great moments in the FA Trophy, like Halesowen’s great run that saw them knock out Na�onal League Maidenhead on the same evening. We must do be�er all round!

------

All our thoughts are with the family and friends of Jordan Sinno�, who passed away aged 25 following an assault last Friday night. The outpouring of emo�on from his current club Matlock Town show just how much he meant to them. Former club Alfreton Town released a moving message and former team-mates have paid their tributes to the man they call ‘Sinbad’. Jordan’s dad Lee is well-known to so many in football a�er a successful playing and management career. He has helped to shape many careers and no doubt the football family will now wrap their arms around him and his family at this awful �me.
