They were in fact Everton FC’s biggest rivals. Bootle were the first team to win the Liverpool Senior Cup competition and narrowly missed out on becoming a founder member of the football league, to Everton. In 1889–90 Bootle became founder members of the new Football Alliance, which soon became the second division (now the championship!). That season was the most successful as we finished league runners-up, reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, where we lost to Blackburn Rovers (0-7). When the Alliance merged with the Football League in 1892, Bootle became founder members of the new Second Division. However, despite a respectable 8th place final position, the club dropped out after one season and seemingly disappeared due to financial problems. Bootle FC’s place in the football league was taken by Liverpool FC. Football returned to Hawthorne Road when a new club, Bootle Athletic. was later formed with the new team initially playing in the Liverpool Leagues. In 1948 the club moved to nearby Bootle Stadium and were elected to the Lancashire Combination 2, which was won at the first attempt. However, Bootle struggled in the top-flight and after several tough seasons withdrew and folded during the 1953–54 campaign. In 1953, the current club was formed as Langton and played in the local leagues. After a very successful spell in the Liverpool County Combination (which we won on numerous occasions) the club reverted back to it’s It’s better known identity of Bootle F.C. in 1973; and a year later joined the Lancashire Combination, which we won in 1976 and 1977. Bootle then joined the Second Division of the Cheshire County League, which was won in our first season, and we were promoted to the First Division. In 1982 the Cheshire County League was one of the leagues that merged to form the North West Counties League, which Bootle duly joined, becoming a member of the First Division. The club spent most of their time in the First Division until 2000 when we unfortunately dropped into the Second Division. However, despite finishing 6th in 2002, the club dropped into the Liverpool County Combination as Bucks Park was consigned to history. In 2006 the club, with a new ground, were elected back into Division 2 of the North West Counties League. In 2009 Bootle won promotion to the NWCL Premier Division and also won the Championship. In 2009/10, our first season back in the NWCFL Premier Division Bootle finished a NWCFL highest placing of 3rd. In 2010/11 finished 6th place. They equalled the 3rd place again in 2012. 2013 saw Bootle come so close to promotion, narrowly missing out with three games to go, and eventually finishing 3rd again. However they put that disappointment aside to win the Liverpool Senior Cup for the first time in 124 years. 25 Happy new year to everyone today and welcome to all Bootle FC spectators, players, committee and on behalf of all of those people I welcome visiting players, staff, spectators and officials of Ashton Athletic today in what should be a good game. I was really disappointed that the game had to be called off last weekend but its very pleasing that we have managed to get to January until a first-team game has been called off which means the work the club has put on the pitch is paying off. In our last game I was unhappy with the performance against AFC Liverpool on MATCHDAY PRICES boxing day and I told the players that type of performance would not be acceptable to me going forward. 1ST TEAM: £5 ADULTS Since that game I felt we needed more so I’m very pleased that we have signed Kevin Black,Michael Young,James Riley,Jack McDowall and Sam Wilkie. All bar £2 CONCESSIONS Kevin were in the squad when we travelled to Squires Gate. We performed really well and I was pleased Lee (Thompson) and James got their first goals since their UNDER 16’S FREE return. We also welcome back Phil Green and Dave Moran who have been back training with us this past week. We also played a squad game up on the JMO last weekend which was very competitive and good to see the fitness of some of the players. I’d also like to say good luck to Sean Coulton who has been courted by Marine in recent weeks. After discussing with him we both agreed that it was a good FREE ENTRY FOR ALL opportunity to test himself in the Evo-Stik league. We need to be up for the game today and focus on our game plan as I know that Ashton are a really good side and the lads will be extremely motivated following RESERVE & YOUTH GAMES: our defeat at the beginning of December. Thanks for taking the time to read LEAGUE GAMES: £1 ENTRY my programme notes and I hope SELECTED GAMES FREE ENTRY you enjoy the game. Please show your support - the players and I are extremely grateful Joseph of it.

For the Bears, it’s their fifth away draw in six ties in the Vase this season, with their only home tie being in the last round against Huntingdon Town, where a double from Lee Healey earned the Bears a 2-1 win, and it promises to be their toughest assignment yet against a side from the notoriously strong Northern League. Newcastle Benfield are one of three Northern League clubs in the Fourth Round of the Vase who have won their League within the last eight years but have not been promoted to Step 4. Based in the Walkergate area of Newcastle upon Tyne, they currently sit in 15th place in the Northern League Division One, although unusually for a club sitting in that league position, they have a goal difference of +20, helped in no small way through their results in their last two games - a 9-0 win at Billingham Town last midweek followed by a 3-1 win over the league leaders Celtic Nation last Saturday. Those results ended a run of seven league games without a win. The Tynesiders have played against NWCFL opponents in FA competitions several times in the past, and the visit of the Bears is the third time this season that a club from our League has visited Sam Smith’s Park. Barnoldswick Town lost 3-1 in the 2nd Qualifying Round, while in the Second Round Cheadle Town were beaten 6-2. It's undoubtedly a tough assignment for the Bears, but Club Secretary Ken Mead says everyone at the club is looking forward to the day.

  • Club History
    Club History Organised football in Bangor dates from a meeting held in the city’s Magistrates' Rooms on 18 December 1876 – but not football as we might imagine because it was the handling variety that was first played in the city. It wasn’t until nearly a year later that it was decided to abandon rugby, to concentrate on association football, and to join the Football Association of Wales. The reason for the change of code? The number of players injured in that first experimental season! At that time, the club played at the Maes y Dref ground, at the lower end of Bangor’s High Street, and in the early years concentrated on playing challenge (friendly) fixtures and competing in the various cup competitions. Obviously, the club had no lack of ambition as on Easter Monday 1880, they took on the mighty Blackburn Rovers, giving a good account of themselves in a narrow 2 – 1 defeat. Nine years later, Bangor won the Welsh Cup for the first time, beating Northwich Victoria 2 – 1 at Wrexham before a crowd of 4,000, and in 1895-96 put on an even more impressive performance, beating north Wales giants Wrexham 3 – 0 at Llandudno to win football’s second-oldest cup competition for the second time. The Welsh Cup has been a favourite trophy of Bangor City over the years. City has won the trophy eight times – only Wrexham, Cardiff and Swansea have won it more often. Despite, or perhaps because of, City’s success in cup competitions, it became clear that the Maes y Dref ground was not up to standard, attracting complaints from visiting teams.

  • A Timeline of Wrexham Football Club and the Racecourse Ground Llinell-Amser O Glwb Pêl-Droed Wrecsam A'r Cae
    A TIMELINE OF WREXHAM FOOTBALL CLUB AND THE RACECOURSE GROUND LLINELL-AMSER O GLWB PÊL-DROED WRECSAM A’R CAE RAS 01 Wrexham Football Club is no ordinary football club. Founded in 1864, just one year after the Football Association first met and the Laws of the Game were first written, Wrexham is the third oldest professional football club in the world. Over the years the team and its ever-loyal supporters have experienced together the joy of victory, the frustration of near success and the despair that follows defeat. The fans have cheered each time a goal has hit the back of the opposing team’s net. When Wrexham have been ahead, they have anxiously counted down those final, seemingly endless minutes of injury time before exploding with joy as the final whistle blows. They have never given up; even when all hope of victory has slipped away. Wrexham fans have witnessed the highs and the lows that are the milestones in the story of every football club. This booklet details those milestones and includes additional information about those events in the history of the club and the Racecourse which we had to exclude from the exhibition timeline for reasons of space. If you feel we have overlooked a vital match, a telling statistic, a pivotal moment or a memorable story then please use the memories board or email your contribution to the story of Wrexham Football Club to: [email protected] 02 Mae Tîm Pêl-droed Wrecsam yn fwy na dim ond tîm pêl-droed cyffredin.

  • A Complete History of Southport Football Club
    A COMPLETE HISTORY OF SOUTHPORT FOOTBALL CLUB Compiled By Rob Urwin Southport FC Programme Editor 1 IN THE BEGINNING It was Thursday 12 th November 1881 when Southport played its first Association Football match. Although association football had been played in the town's private schools in the late 1870’s the original Southport Football club began as a rugby team. The 'handling code” had been played competitively since 1872 in Southport and there were teams under the titles of Southport Olympic, Southport Wasps, Southport Hornets and The Grasshoppers. Southport Football Club, who had been in existence for some seasons, arranged rugby fixtures for 1881-82. After some heavy defeats, the last recorded being on 15 th October when Wavertree prevailed, the club switched to association football. On 12 th November, six of that team lined up when Southport played Bootle “second” in their first match under Association Rules. Bootle took the lead but Jackson shot “a capital goal to equalise” The Southport team was S Platt (Goal), B Pidduck, JG Howard (Backs) P.Edwards, F Jackson and TB Burnett(Captain) (Halves), JR Topliss and F Holden (Rights) W Platt (Centre) J Melross and J. Sykes (Lefts). The Southport Visiter commented “that the team will no doubt render a good account of themselves when they get over the difficulty of hands off and forget the rugby rules” The following week Southport lost by “one goal and one disputed goal to nil” at Burscough. Most of the club’s rugby players made the switch to the “round ball game” and Dalby, Irving and Morris were also lured over to soccer from Southport Hornets.

  • Full Thesis Body
    Rubey 1 Introduction You see, this is the crazy thing about supporters, they want the best players, they want the best stadium. We spent £28 million in 1998, we are spending £30 million on the stadium in 1999, we are building a new training ground for £14 million. If you want these things you must be commercial. Unfortunately in this world you need money to expand stadiums, you need money to set up operations whether retail or whatever. Without money you can’t do these things, so we are commercial. We do not make an apology for that, as long as we don’t charge ridiculous prices or rip people off. We make no apology for being commercial. We still hope to be the wealthiest club in ten, 20 years’ time, but think of the things it does to you, think of the things that it gets you. Players’ wages today are going through the roof, but supporters want the best player, so we have to be prepared to be commercial because we want to afford those players.1 This quote by Martin Edwards, the chairman of Manchester United Football Club from 1980 to 2002, shows the problem that has grown out of professional soccer to date. Clubs have continued to increase, year after year, the amount of money they spend on stadiums and, more importantly, players. For example, Manchester United sold David Beckham for a record high £25 million2 in 2003 by selling for and then broke the record just six years later by selling Cristiano Ronaldo for £80 million.3 Despite making this money, though, the team is forced to spend huge amounts on each sold players replacement, though.
