#WE ARE SEASIDERS

FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED VS CAMBRIDGE CITY

SAT 14 SEPTEMBER 2019 - 3PM - ISTHMIAN NORTH

1 Good afternoon to you all and welcome back to the Goldstar ground for this BectVictor Isthmian League North fixture v Cambridge City. I wish a very warm welcome to our visitors this afternoon and of course to the match officials Messrs. Jordan Sandwell, Lewis Venables and Ed Frazer. I hope you find our hospitality meets expectations.

Former Southern League side Cambridge City, the ‘Lily Whites’ might prove a hard nut to crack. I am not aware of any previous ﬁxture against Cambridge City, so this is probably new ground for us and them. Both sides have found the going tough in these early stages of the competition and only one point separates the two clubs in the league, Cambridge have four whilst the Seasiders have three. It is early days yet of course, and nothing should be read into the recent results. Maybe we are in a poor vein of form presently and things will improve for us in the coming weeks. Let’s get behind the Seasiders and cheer them to a much needed three points.

There was a good gate at the last home ﬁxture so hopefully we will have that again this afternoon. It is said that we have the best support at our level, especially away from home, so be in good voice and be the 12th man on the ﬁeld.

What a fantastic atmosphere we had at the ground on Wednesday last when the ITFC FROM THE CHAIRMAN THE FROM women FC took on the Budgies of Norwich City Women. A bumper 761 crowd witnessed a very entertaining game with the tractor girls coming out 4-1 winners. Hopefully at least half that number will come along to the Goldstar on Sunday to cheer the tractor girls, helping out the Seasiders income at the same time.

Next up at the Goldstar is Maldon & Tiptree on Saturday 21st September in the league, followed by a re-visit on Tuesday 24th September in the Velocity League Cup followed by a third ﬁxture on the bounce in the FA Trophy on Saturday 28th September…Phew!!

The Isthmian Football League strongly supports the FA Statement that there should be be a zero tolerance approach against racism and all forms of discrimination. Accordingly any form of discriminatory abuse whether it be based on race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, faith, age, ability or any other form of abuse will be reported to The Football Association for action by that Association.” The views and opinions expressed in this programme are not necessarily those of the committee or management of Felixstowe & Walton United FC” We welcome Cambridge City to the Goldstar ground for the ﬁrst time in the BetVictor Isthmian North. We also welcome the Lilywhites Committee and fans, as well as our match ofﬁcials for the game. Danny knows the City manager Robbie very well, and we expect it to be a very competitive game. Cambridge sit one point above us at present, having drawn one game more than us, with both sides only having won one game each to date. It will be nice to play a side that we don’t know too much about this week, although we will have done our homework.

The last two games have probably been my lowest point in management to date, losing both at a whimper really. How we react now will deﬁne our management and playing squad, and we will certainly be looking to get back to good habits. As we have said all along, we need to be patient with what Danny and I are trying to build. I know so many of you fans are behind us by the amount of messages and e-mails I have personally received. We have seen some exciting performances so far, but with little reward, and now it is time to start putting some points on the table.

I would now like to see our players step up to the mark and be counted, starting with this very game. We need to show more desire, hunger and passion to want to get the results we need, so that we can continue to enjoy this level of football we now ﬁnd ourselves in. That will be my biggest ask against Cambridge today and I will expect that to continue from here on in. I hope you, the fans, noticed this at the recent Heybridge game. The First Team players remained for much longer after a game, so that they could mingle and chat

FROM THE DUGOUT - WATTY! with you, the supporters. This is something you will see more of this season, so that we can become even closer as one club. This means management, staff, players and you, our fantastic fans.

We need you so make some noise for us against Cambridge, so get behind the lads.

Cheers Watty

Thomas Trevivian Ian Watson Jamal Wiggins Strictly speaking we’ve met before… but not the senior sides in a competitive competition. Cambridge City have been playing at a higher level than the Seasiders for most of their/our life as a senior club, having joined the Athenian League in 1950, changing their name from ‘Town’ to ‘City’ in 1951 and joining the Southern League in 1958, which in those days was THE senior non-league competition in the country, with promotion to the Football League by ballot.

Having been brought up in Bedford and watching the Eagles (Bedford Town), the games against ‘City’ were pretty much local derbies, but since my ‘re-location’ to Felixstowe in the 70s, the only games I can recall between our two clubs are at youth level in the FA Youth Cup, none of which I can recall with happy memories!

I do recall visiting their city ground for youth games, which I thought was an excellent non-league arena, probably one of the best in the country - but sadly they no longer play there, (I wonder what they are using that area for now?) having moved out in 2013, using the facilities at Histon’s Bridge Road then St Ives Town (2015-18) & now back again at Histon’s home ground at Impington this season, while a new ground is built at Sawston.

Cambridge City’s former Milton Road Stadium SEASIDER - PHILSEASIDER GRIFFITHS

Cambridge City FC – history Early years The club was formed in 1908 as Cambridge Town, the direct descendant of the earlier Cambridge St Mary’s club which had folded at the end of the 1907-1908 season following a dispute with the local Cambs FA. As a torchbearer for amateur football in the days when many clubs viewed the professional game with disdain, the new club affiliated itself with the recently established Amateur Football Association rather than the local FA. Trophy success came early, with a notable victory being achieved in the International Du Nord Trophy in 1912 after beating host club Tourquennois in Northern France. Cambridge Town amalgamated with an earlier Cambridge United club in May 1914, joined the Cambs FA for the first time and in turn gained entry into the FA Cup and the FA Amateur Cup for the first time, whilst retaining their AFA links. The club’s best ever run in the Amateur Cup came in 1928 when they reached the semi Final only to lose to Leyton at Fulham’s Craven Cottage ground. The club moved to the Town Ground in Milton Road in April 1922, having previously played at Purbeck Road (1908-1911), the Hills Road Bridge Ground (1911-1914), Trinity College New Field (1920-1922) and various other grounds in the period 1919 to 1920.

Town v Town A rivalry developed with Ipswich Town during the late 1920’s and mid 1930. Huge crowds attended these games at Milton Road, peaking at 11,916 in 1929. Both clubs’ success in the Southern Amateur League prompted invitations to join the newly formed semi-professional Eastern Counties League in 1935. Ipswich accepted, but the Cambridge Committee declined on account of their commitment to amateur football, so the two Towns went their separate ways. Within three years Ipswich had been elected to the Football League leaving Cambridge fans wondering what might have been! Cambridge Town moved on to the Spartan League, winning three league titles between 1945 and 1950. Shortly after progression to the Athenian League, Cambridge was granted City status in 1951 and with it the club’s name change to Cambridge City

Southern League Champions City finally left the amateur game in 1958 and joined the Southern League, gaining a place in the Premier Division of the Southern League ahead of local rivals Cambridge United in their first season. City won the Premier Division in 1962/63, edging out United in an enthralling title race with the local derby at Milton Road being witnessed by over 11,500 people. The absence of automatic promotion to the Football League put a lid on City’s ambitions. Nevertheless, City were regular challengers for the title and had the highest attendances in non-league football up until the mid-1960s. But City lost their way and were relegated to Southern League Division 1 in 1967/68. Promotion back to the Premier Division followed in 1969/70, but this was the same season Cambridge United were elected to the Football League. City were left to reflect that, in 12 Southern League seasons together, they had finished above their local rivals in 7 of them.

Strife in the 1970s City ﬁnished Southern League runners up in 1970/71, but the latter years of the decade were dreadful. Relegation in 1975/76 saw crowds dwindle and the Club fall into decline. In 1977, Directors decided to return the Club to amateur status by joining the Isthmian League but, in scenes that would be repeated 30 years later, subsequent fans’ protests forced most of the Board to resign. The club thus remained in the Southern League.

Better times After the redevelopment of the ground in the mid 1980’s, City gradually improved and a new generation of fans mobbed their heroes after the 1985/86 Southern League Southern Division championship was won on the last day of the season. The goal scoring exploits of Gary Grogan were instrumental in City’s recovery, according him a ‘City Legend ‘status. Since 1993, City have reached the 1st round proper of the FA Cup ﬁve times and the 2nd round once, which is a far better record than achieved by the more illustrious City sides of the 1960s. THE VISITORS

Ups and downs Recent seasons have been a roller-coaster ride for the City faithful. City’s best season for 30 years saw them finish runners up in the inaugural Conference South season in 2004/05, going on to lose in the play-offs. Off the field the ground had been sold to pay off mounting debts and matters took a turn for the worse in 2006 when the then Board announced an agreement to allow City to be absorbed into Cambridge United. With City on the brink of extinction, supporters were galvanised into a campaign which eventually forced Directors to resign, to be replaced by members of the Cambridge City Supporters’ Trust. The opening league match of 2006/07 was arguably the most memorable since the early 1960s – not merely because City won with a stoppage time winner at Havant & Waterlooville, but because it offered irrefutable proof that that City had survived a blatant attempt to kill it off and were very much alive and kicking. City celebrated their centenary in 2008, but were demoted at the end the 2007/08 season due to over-zealously applied ground regulations. This decision ended 22 consecutive seasons in the 2nd tier of non-league football. City lost out to Gloucester City in the 2008/09 play-off. In the 2009/10 season, City won the Southern League Cup for the first time and finished one point shy of a playoff place. With the ground sold, a groundshare agreement was in place with Newmarket Town for the 2010/11 season but a last minute offer from our landlord meant that City had another season in its own stadium and celebrated by securing a place in the playoffs with a 4th place finish in the league. However, this was met with disappointment again as the team went down one nil away to Salisbury City. Another reprieve following a new deal with the landlord gave City two more seasons at Milton Road, 2011/12 and 2012/13. Once again the play-offs were reached but again an away defeat in the semi final, this time at Oxford City. This disappointment was however tempered by the news that the club has secured a site on which to build a new stadium and training complex. City ultimately missed out on a playoff spot in the 2012/13 season, but the club enjoyed a FA Cup run, with a televised first round proper home tie with MK Dons producing a fantastic night with a nil nil draw at Milton Road before losing in the replay at Stadium MK. With our lease on the stadium finally coming to an end, April 27th 2013 saw the last ever first team match at the ground before a large crowd with mixture of tears and smiles. Adrian Cambridge had the honour of scoring the last ever goal at Milton Road in the one nil victory over Redditch United.

New era A new era for the club commenced in August 2013 starting with a ground-share at Histon FC. City once again reached the play-offs that season but once again tasted semi final defeat, this time at home to St Albans City. The 2015-16 season saw City move to share at St Ives Town FC. Manager Gary Roberts left in the summer of 2016 after 13 years at the club. His replacement Dan Gleeson had a short and ultimately unsuccessful spell in charge, former player Robbie Nightingale taking over as manager in December 2016. Robbie won his first game in charge to boost City’s hopes of avoiding the drop. City’s playing record improved culminating in five wins and a draw in their last six games but ultimately it was not enough and the club were relegated to step four for the first time in our history. Hopes of bouncing straight back were dashed when City lost in the play-off to Hartley Wintney. After three seasons at St Ives, City are now back at Histon FC whilst waiting for the new ground in Sawston to be built. In the summer of 2019 City were moved laterally to The Isthmian League, which is the first time we have competed in said league . THE VISITORS

You may or may not be aware of the fact that Chris Daynes, our Chief Operations Officer, is about to go into hospital this week to undergo some extremely important medical treatment. Chris has Crohn’s disease which is very debilitating, to put it mildly, and he is having Stem Cell Replacement Treatment. He will be away from the club throughout the Autumn period, in hospital in London for much of that time and will hopefully be back on the scene around Christmas time. Quite where our football club would be had Chris not got involved all those years ago is anyone’s guess. Apart from overseeing the new clubhouse build, he has built up the annual fireworks event and too many other events to mention over the years, all bringing in vital funds to Felixstowe & SEASIDERS NEWS SEASIDERS Walton United FC. Just one indicator of the effort Chris has put in to the club is the remarkable 92 grounds in 92 hours fundraising event he did together with his brother Stuart in 2016. As Stuart says himself, “No easy task if fully fit, let alone in his medical condition! We raised around £4,000 for the club and are already planning a repeat challenge next Spring. This will depend on his condition of course.”

Reprinted below is the article sent to The East Anglian Daily Times this week. Before you read it, may I on behalf of everyone at the club wish Chris the very best and a speedy recovery. Thank you Chris Daynes!

We often read about people behind the scenes at non-league football clubs and the important work they do. At Felixstowe & Walton there are many people who give to the club but none more so than Chief Operations Officer Chris Daynes, who is about to go into St Bart’s hospital in London this week for vital stem cell replacement treatment for the debilitating Crohn’s disease he’s suffered from for more than thirty years. Hopefully this will re-set his immune system but, even if successful, his treatment will last for around four months and possibly longer. To have carried out the work Chris has done since joining the committee fifteen years ago is extremely impressive. To have worked the way he has whilst dealing with Crohn’s disease is simply remarkable. In his world there’s no such thing as a five-day working week. Neither is a workday restricted to anything like a simple eight hours. Chris has always been on top of, and normally the instigator of, the crucial fundraising that the Seasiders , like all local teams, constantly need. In particular, he led the team which put together the plans, fundraised, then oversaw the building and opening of the impressive facilities that have now transformed the club into what it is today. Chris’s support for the club goes back to when he first watched The Seasiders together with twin brother Stuart as a ten year old. The two brothers would sit in the old wooden stand in amongst a crowd of perhaps just 70 people. How times have changed. The two ten year olds would talk, even then, about what they could do to improve things at the ground and how in the future they could turn Felixstowe into a big non-league club. As mentioned above, every club has its dedicated back room people but Chris fully deserves to be up there with the best. Everybody at the club wishes Chris well, hopes he makes a full recovery and looks forward to seeing his face back at The Goldstar Ground as soon as possible. 12 SATURDAY 31 AUGUST 2019 SOHAM TOWN RANGERS 3 - 0 FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UTD Attendance 136

Make no mistake, this was poor. Going down to Soham Town Rangers three goals to nil suggests there is plenty of work for Watty and Danny to do. Whilst Soham fully deserved the three points, this was a game we lost rather than a game they won. That may sound disrespectful to the Cambridgeshire side but we gifted each one of the three goals they managed to put away on Saturday.

It is, of course, far too early to start worrying about league tables but seeing us in 18thspot doesn’t look pretty and it’s clear Watty and Danny have some work to do. Speaking after the game, Watty did look dejected. Here are his words in their entirety: “That’s probably the lowest point to date. We’ve done well in games with a good start, a poor first half but good second half and so on but to come away after what we did last week against Heybridge and do what we did today is just not acceptable. It was poor. Every single player coming out of the dressing room is disappointed. They’ve all got to take a look at themselves and ask how have we gone from one end of the scale to the other. We didn’t MATCH REPORTS MATCH really come up against it today. We’ve given away three goals again and we just can’t afford to do that so Danny and I need to have a very long hard chat tonight. We gave them periods in the game where they got their goals and we really can’t afford to do that at this level. If you let sides have opportunities like today, they will come back and bite you on the backside. Sam Mulready, up front for them, is probably the best striker in this division with five in five but you have got to be able to deal with that. The physicality annoyed me because we’re the bigger side yet we seemed to get knocked off the ball too much.”

As for the detail, Joe Bloomfield came in for Henry Barley on the left while Josh Kerridge replaced Kyle Jopling at the back following the game against Heybridge Swifts last Monday. We got off to a poor start and it wasn’t really until the quarter-hour mark that we managed to apply any real pressure. The action, however, was at the other end, where Jake Andrews put keeper Jack Spurling under pressure a couple of times before finally netting on 37 minutes, having received a well-placed ball from Sam Mulready. Within one minute, Mulready put away his fifth goal in five games to give the home side a well- deserved two-goal lead at the break.

Our best effort in the ﬁrst half had come from a Tom Debenham through ball which saw Armani Schaar’s effort tipped over the bar by Josh Pope in the Soham goal. For a moment, it looked like Schaar might just have sneaked the ball under the bar for what would have been a very impressive goal. Sadly, it wasn’t to be.

We had little to offer in the second half apart from a shot from distance from Stuart Ainsley and when Toby Andrews put away number three for Soham ten minutes from time, the game was ﬁnally lost.

And so it’s off to Bury for a local derby group match under the lights in The Velocity Trophy. Speaking about that game, Watty added, “We have to change things. We can’t afford to lose two games on the bounce like this. We’re conceding too many goals so we do need to change things. It’s a local derby and it doesn’t matter what game it is, it’s a local derby and there will be a few up there. It’s nice to have a game so soon and this is an opportunity for us to turn things around.”
