Good Afternoon and welcome to all players, staff, officials and supporters of Holmer Green for today’s Hellenic League match and I hope you enjoy your first ever visit to Kayte Lane.

With last week’s match being called off it could have been a case of us being even further behind but with the results going our way (albeit Wantage didn’t play in the league) neither Brackley or Brimscombe could further extend their lead and again if we win our games in hand we will go above both of them so a big boost indeed.

Speaking of boosts losing both Brad and Joe Bates in a week and Watts to injury the fact that we have Jacob Davidge back in our ranks is a huge boost. Davs was our top scorer two years ago and in his season at the club he won over many fans and is regarded as one of the better players to play in my tenure.

We’ve got 8 big games left and 24pts to play for so we will be looking to gain as many points as possible between now and the end of the season and see where it takes us.

Last time against our opponents we were 1-0 down at half time before storming back to win 6-1 and even Slacky missed a penalty!!

Hopefully more of the same today

Thanks for your support

Enjoy the game

BISHOPS CLEEVE FOOTBALL CLUB BRIEF HISTORY

Founded 1905 County Members Gloucestershire Football Association Southern League History 2006 – present day Hellenic League History 1983 – 2006 Principal honours 2011/12 & 2015/16 Glos. Senior Challenge Trophy Runners-Up ===== In their long history Bishops Cleeve have led a much more nomadic existence than many clubs, but have now been settled in the impressive Kayte Lane ground since 1997. For many years the club played on a ground in Stoke Road – with facilities rebuilt and reopened in 1971 by the then secretary of the Football Association, Ted Croker. The enforced move to Kayte Lane came about due to the old ground being sold by the landlord. The club enjoyed a brief period of success in the late 60s – gaining promotion from the Cheltenham League and winning four Championships in their six seasons in the Glos. Northern Senior League. After dropping back to the Cheltenham League, Cleeve gained promotion into the Hellenic League in 1983, quickly becoming a force in that division, finishing fourth in their first two seasons in Div. One. This great start was followed up with a third place finish, then winning the Championship and gaining promotion to the Premier Division at the fourth attempt, and winning the ‘double’ by adding the Glos. Amateur Cup. A fantastic achievement. The five seasons in the Premier Division proved to be a struggle for the Club, although the team followed up their Cup success by adding another trophy to their collection, winning the Premier Cup at the first attempt. The return to Division One proved the catalyst for a period of rebuilding, on and off the pitch. The Club needed to enter into a number of ground share agreements to preserve their League status – Forest Green Rovers, Moreton Town, Wollen Sports and Highworth all allowed us to use their grounds. This difficult period galvanised our club members, and the club was kept running by the dedicated efforts of a few stalwarts – notably Cheltenham Town legend, Dave Lewis, whose efforts were recognised by Carling Brewery, awarding him their ‘Clubman of the Year’ accolade (and a year’s supply of beer!) After approval for the Kayte Lane site was given in 1997, club members started the building of the clubhouse and changing rooms – using materials kindly donated by Smiths Aerospace (now GE Aviation) There followed a great transformation in the team’s fortunes, and they duly secured another promotion in 2001 back to the Hellenic Premier Division. In order to take this opportunity the club entered into another ground share at Evesham United! 2003 & 2004 proved to be a landmark period for the club – returning to ‘The Lane’ after the new Stand and floodlights were approved, achieving FA Charter Standard for Football in the Community, and the completion of the building and facilities. In 2006 the team gained promotion to the Sothern League, joining the Midland Division before being moved to the South & West Division a few seasons later, where the club currently reside. The club has enjoyed mixed fortunes in their Southern League time, generally enjoying mid-table security, with the highlight being season 2011/12 when the club finished with their best ever points haul (in a creditable 11th) and reached the Gloucestershire Senior Cup final, played at Bristol City’s Ashton Gate ground, where we unfortunately succumbed to a Bristol City side featuring two Full Welsh Internationals! With the departure of Alex Sykes to County rivals Shortwood United, the ex-Cheltenham Town professional John Brough took the helm but left towards the end of the season to join Cinderford Town.

2013/14 saw local lad Stephen Cleal take charge with Derek Lightstone, as his assistant, both had a long history with the club and they forged a close link with our Second and Third teams – as well a community tie to Bishops Cleeve Colts Youth section – the future of the club seemed much more secure on and off the field of play. After surviving relegation in their first season they put together a competitive team finishing 12th in the league and losing 1-0 to Forest Green Rovers in the County FA Senior Cup. 2016/17 saw another first for Steve winning the club’s first FA Trophy game. 2017/18 saw the arrival of Matt Jeynes to the management team another who had played for the club in recent years and they later joined by Alex Lumsden Unfortunately a number of players left the club and the season didn’t get off to a good start. The team did rally towards the latter part of the Season but were relegated after losing the last game. So after 12 years we now look for a speedy return to Step 4 of the NLS.

Holmer Green – Club History

Originally founded in 1908, Holmer played initially in The Chesham and District League. Matches were played at Campbell’s Meadow, (now the Rosetti Estate), close to a tennis racket factory. Sometime before 1934 the Club moved to Holmer Green Common and set up headquarters in The Bat and Ball. In 1934 the Club switched to The Wycombe Combination League. The first known trophy to be won by Holmer Green was The Chesham Charity Cup in 1939, the first of 28 Cups and Championships won thus far by the 1st XI. Foremost among these, pre-1975, were the successes in winning the Berks and Bucks Junior Cup in both 1953 and 1965. The early 70’s saw the start of a very successful thirty years in the Club’s history. Holmer Green moved to their present ground, Watchet Lane, in 1975 when the new Holmer Green Sports Association pavilion at Watchet Lane was fully ready. Holmer won The Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup in 1976-77. Senior Status was thus achieved, and since then the Club has striven to play at the highest level possible for a strictly amateur club. The Club, through current President John Anderson, was heavily involved in the moves that set up The Chiltonian League in 1984. That League embraced clubs from no less than six different counties, before being swallowed up by The Hellenic. Holmer had been very successful in the Chiltonian, and believed that a move to a better run league, where the clubs were encouraged to improve facilities, should be the next step. The Chiltonian, only naturally, were reluctant to lose their “flagship” club and tried to stop the move to the The South Midlands League. Not until August 17th 1995 did Holmer Green finally exhaust the FA’s appeal system, successfully, being allowed to switch Leagues. This move gave Holmer Green the impetus to finally erect a Stand, now called The Don Want Stand in honour of their former long-serving groundsman who still helps out with his time and expertise, on a regular basis. Don was presented with some mementoes in November 2014 to mark his 50 years with the Football Club. Over the following years huge strides were taken which made possible the erection of floodlights, thanks to the fund-raising, grants, and a loan from ex- player Mark Williams. Premier Division status was achieved in 1999 after winning the Senior Division twice in four seasons, being 2nd and 4th in between. A financial crisis arose some 15 or so years ago, after more ground improvements, Mick Bowler came in to help steady the ship, with great financial assistance from former player John Walters. Centenary events started with a visit from a full Wycombe Wanderers team in July 2007 when the ground record of over 800 was recorded. In 2008 the Senior Club formally merged with Holmer Green Minors FC to become “One Club” and this occasion coincided with the new Club as a whole being named “ Club of the Year 2008” by Bucks & Milton Keynes Sports Partnership. Season 2008-09 was Holmer’s 10th successive one in the Premier Division. After an unexpectedly long stay in the Premier Division Holmer Green was demoted to Division One for season 2009-10 due to Ground Grading, despite avoiding the two relegation positions. Work immediately began to regain the “F” Grading required for Step 5 football to return to Watchet Lane. With Manager Jason Weinrabe, who had twice led the Club to avoid the relegation positions in difficult circumstances, going to work in Australia, the Club promoted Coach Chris Allen to the Manager’s job. The 1st XI won the First Division by three points in 2009-10 losing only 3 of 40 games. The coveted “F” Grading was achieved again in 2011. Premier Division status was maintained until and including season 2017-18, when Holmer Green FC was transferred laterally across the FA’s Non-League Pyramid to the Uhlsport Hellenic League.

Last week it was reported that plans by the ownership at North Ferriby United to both re-name and re- locate the club appear to have fallen through.

The proposals, which understandably triggered a furious reaction from the Villagers’ faithful, were a real injustice and would have essentially amounted to the theft of a famous football club.

The problem of owners going to war with their own fan base has always been an issue in football and is a problem that affects teams in the Football League and the Premier League just as much as in Non-League.

It is a tricky situation for the FA and although there are some that argue that the organization should perhaps perform more stringent tests on potential owners before ratifying a sale, this is much harder in practice than it seems in principle.

In an age of extreme political and economic divisions, football clubs have the potential to offer a sacred space of unity and togetherness.

It is therefore a tremendously sad sight to see when fan bases become divided and disenfranchised at the hands of rash and self-serving owners.

Thankfully, for North Ferriby fans at least, this period in their history looks likely to soon be over after it was revealed that owner Carl Chadwick is believed to be looking to part ways with the club.

Hopefully the Yorkshire club can now be passed into the hands of a group who want to properly engage with the fan base and make Grange Lane into a place where people can get away from the stresses and strains of modern life for a couple of hours every two weeks and simply enjoy a match with people they may otherwise have never spoken to –that’s what football is all about!

FA changing room regulations: step three and four clubs respond to relegation warning

Warrington Town have played at their 2,500-capacity Cantilever Park ground since 1956

Seldom has 18 square metres been such an important dimension. For clubs in steps three and four of the football pyramid, it will prove to be a critical one.

The Football Association wrote to a number of non-league clubs warning of relegation if they do not make their dressing rooms larger. Current rules state rooms need to be at least 12 square metres in the seventh and eighth tiers, but this will increase to 18 square metres by March 2019. No ifs. No buts. While some teams have already implemented the changes, other clubs have expressed concern over funding the work.

'I've sort of gambled, but it hasn't paid off' Warrington Town made headlines in November 2014 when, before the live BBC cameras, they knocked out League Two side Exeter City to reach round two of the FA Cup. Their 2,500-capacity Cantilever Park was rocking under the floodlights, as plasterer Craig Robinson headed in the winner. Fast forward four years, and what was good enough for The Wire back then will no longer be good enough for the Northern Premier League (NPL) side next season. "People have been asking 'why haven't you got the work done?'" chairman Toby McCormac told BBC Radio Manchester. "The reason is - because it was rumoured at one time there may be a tolerance issued by the FA. "Even if the FA put a tolerance out of even 5%, I'd have been within it and wouldn't have needed to do the work. I've sort of gambled and I am still 57cm short in one changing room and a metre in the other." With ambitions of playing at a higher level, Warrington have ensured the work that is needed will take place within their existing budget, rather than needing to raise extra funds. "It's been factored in to how I'll set the budget for this year, based on where we want to get to," McCormac added.

'Unrealistic' timescale to achieve this Frome Town have played host to EFL clubs such as Northampton in pre-season friendlies Another of the clubs who need to expand their changing rooms are Southern Premier League South outfit Frome Town, who are concerned about the difficulties of meeting March's deadline. "The process of getting planning permission, quotes from contractors and finding the money from grants is just not doable in that timescale," Frome's football and operations director, Gary Collinson, told BBC Somerset. "It's difficult to work out how we can do it, if we can do it. It won't ruin us, but it will affect other things we're trying to do. "It could cost an awful lot of money. There is grant funding available but that takes time to process. "It's a really short timescale. Our issue is that they haven't given us a realistic timescale to achieve it. "We go to places that have far, far inferior facilities, so the size of the changing room, this seems to be something that's relatively petty." FA 'using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut' Somerset side Taunton Town, who play in the same division as Frome, say the specific requirements for '18 square metres' was only relayed to them earlier this year. Kevin Sturmey, Taunton's chairman and head groundsman, told BBC Sport: "The letter seemed fairly austere. Virtually all clubs at our level are run by volunteers. "We're quite lucky - we've got 4.6 acres - so we've got quite a lot of space, but some clubs' changing rooms are built within their boundary and they have no room to expand. For a lot of clubs, it'll be harder than for ourselves. "It does seem like a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, but that's not unusual with the FA and non-league football. Taunton's stadium has played host to step two sides in the FA Cup "There's no advice, no lists of recommended companies. What we need is help and guidance. It does feel like you're given no help whatsoever." Other divisions are more progressive, highlighted by Warrington's experiences in the NPL. "We've been fortunate as members of the NPL that they've been hammering clubs for a couple of years now, doing ground inspections and at the same time helping clubs - coming up with suggestions of how to go forward," McCormac continued. "We'll have to get our work done in between fixtures in time for a March inspection."

'The FA don't tell you how to fund it' Not all clubs have the necessary finances to fulfil the regulations, although there has been plenty of warning. The FA said notice of the change was given in 2014, and affected clubs can apply for up to 70% of the funding for any work. Clubs have until July to complete the work. Clubs must deliver planning permission, if required, proof of funding and a completed, enforceable contract to both the FA and their league by the end of March. The Football Stadia Improvement Fund, managed by the Football Foundation, can offer partial funding for improvement work. Mossley AFC, of the Northern Premier League West Division, found other means to complete the necessary alterations. "It was down to volunteers," Secretary John Wharmby said. "We had to take a complete wall out in the corridor to comply with the 18-square-metres ruling. "Within the volunteers, a few of the lads were builders, so we started work 12 months ago and luckily the work's been done now and everything has been passed. "Plus we had to put in a female changing room as well. They don't tell you how to fund it, they just tell you to do it and if you don't, they relegate you." Football Association warns non-league clubs of relegation over dressing rooms

Some lower-league dressing rooms will need to increase in size by 50%

The Football Association has written to a number of non-league clubs warning they will be relegated if they do not make their dressing rooms larger. They currently need to be a minimum of 12 square metres in the seventh and eighth tiers, but that will increase to 18 square metres by 31 March 2019. Clubs that fail to complete the work by the end of July will be relegated. Larkhall Athletic of Southern League Division One West called the move "disgraceful". The FA says notice of the change was given in 2014, and clubs can apply for up to 70% of the funding for any work. Southern League Premier Division side Frome Town, one of the clubs affected, said: "Five months to get architect, planning permission, funding, and probably try and complete it during the playing season - incredible decision." Clubs must deliver planning permission, if required, proof of funding and a completed, enforceable contract to both the FA and their league by the end of March, and would drop down to the ninth tier if they fail to comply. "The change was to accommodate increased squad sizes, more medical equipment and an improved environment for players," the FA said. "This is a mandatory requirement from those leagues and the vast majority have already achieved this." The Football Stadia Improvement Fund, managed by the Football Foundation, can offer partial funding for improvement work.

FA changing room regulations: Aylesbury to be relegated over undersized area

Non-league Aylesbury FC say relegation is "unavoidable" as they cannot make their changing rooms bigger in time to meet new Football Association regulations.

They currently need to be a minimum of 12 square metres in the seventh and eighth tiers, but that will increase to 18 square metres by 31 March. Clubs that fail to complete the work by the end of July will be relegated. "The club unfortunately very soon realised that the deadline was simply not achievable," Aylesbury said. "Although all the people involved with the club are obviously devastated by this situation, we are even more committed now to ensuring the future of Aylesbury FC, taking a step backwards to once again move forward." Aylesbury - a point outside the relegation zone in the Southern League Division One Central - said that while their home and away changing rooms are "very close" to the minimum requirements, their room for match officials would need "major reconstruction" to meet the requirement of six square metres. The FA wrote to a number of non-league clubs on the issue in October but say notice of the change was given in 2014, and clubs can apply for up to 70% of the funding for any work through the Football Stadia Improvement Fund. Clubs must deliver planning permission, if required, proof of funding and a completed, enforceable contract to both the FA and their league by the end of March. "The change was to accommodate increased squad sizes, more medical equipment and an improved environment for players," the FA said. "This is a mandatory requirement from those leagues and the vast majority have already achieved this."
