FLEET TOWN v STREET F.C. Saturday December 29th 2018 – 3.00 P.M Evo-Stik League South Division 1 South Today’s Fleet Town ‘Man of the Match’ is Sponsored by Easi–Leaflets http://easi-leaflets.com SPONSORED BY WELCOME TO CALTHORPE PARK Good afternoon and welcome to Calthorpe Park the home of Fleet Town F.C. for today’s Evo- Stik League South Division 1 South fixture. In particular the Committee, Players, Management and supporters of our visitors Street who have travelled up from Somerset. Our Boxing Day fixture against Thatcham Town attracted our best home attendance of the season which was really pleasing. However the manner of our second successive 2-1 defeat of The Christmas Holiday was certainly not at all pleasing. Again we played very well and dictated nearly all the match but somehow ended up trying to save the game with only 9 players on the pitch. Unfortunately, at this level young teams like us who try to play football are continually being disadvantaged by naïve officials who are bullied in to handing out Red and Yellow cards for innocuous challenges by experienced ex-pros who do it as part of their game. Very disappointing and not at all in the spirit of Christmas ! Anyway enough said its now on to today’s game against Street. They have just come up to play in the Southern League for the first time in their long history having spent over 50 of their previous years in The Western League. They have made an excellent start as well and currently lie in 7th place with 28 points from the 17 games they have played. Street will present a tough test for us but one we will be really up for as we try to end the bad spell we are currently on. As today is our last home match of the year we would like to really thank our supporters especially ‘The Fleet Massiv’ who have been absolutely fantastic and stuck with us throughout what has been a fairly difficult one at times. You are all very much appreciated. Let’s hope 2019 will be a better one ! Happy New Year to you all and hopefully we will see all our home supporters back here next Saturday for the home league game against Highworth Town. ‘Come on you Blues ‘ Martin Griffiths ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CHAIRMAN: Alec Grant YOUTH TEAM MANAGER: Neil Selby VICE CHAIRMAN : Richard Whittington COMMITTEE MEMBERS: WEBSITE MANAGERS : Harry Cannon & Matt Thorne Alec Grant, Richard Whittington, CLUB WELFARE OFFICER : Chris Arnold Harry Cannon, Darren Edwards Nathan Cookson & Sam Waters CLUB SAFETY OFFICER : Lyn Bevan CLUB SECRETARY : Richard Whittington PROGRAMME EDITOR : Martin Griffiths HEAD OF FOOTBALL : Sam Waters CLUB SHOP MANAGER : Claire Whittington FIRST TEAM MANAGER : David Kelly HOSPITALITY : Carol Black ASSISTANT MANAGER : Tommy Taylor TEA BAR : Maria Horsenail FIRST TEAM COACH : Chris Neate GROUNDSMAN ; Bryan Smith SPORTS THERAPIST : Edward Hensby 01252 623804 www.fleettownfc.co.uk Fleet Town F.C.

Founded in 1880, Street Football Club is one of the oldest clubs in Somerset and was christened with the nickname “The Cobblers” due to a large shoe making history in the area. The club’s early years were fairly successful, winning the Somerset Senior League on four occasions before the end of the century, the first time being the 1882/83 season. The club also had early success in the Somerset Senior Cup as they lifted the trophy in 1898 and again 2 years later. After winning the Somerset Senior League again in 1909/10, and the Somerset Senior Cup the following year, the club made the decision to join the Western League. With the Western League being put on hold in 1914 due to WW1, Street re-joined the league at the start of season 1919/20 in division 2. Unfortunately, the division was disbanded three years later so the club rejoined the Somerset Senior League, where they remained for the next eight years before re-joining the Western League for the 1930/31 season. The first season back in division 2 was none too successful, finishing 16th out of 17, but two years later Street were runners-up to Swindon Town Reserves - a feat they repeated in 1938 when finishing 2nd behind Weymouth - but in those days there was no automatic promotion from division 2 into division 1.
