SIMON WEAVER Appointed on 20th May 2009 as the first-team manager of Harrogate Town, Weaver has guided the club from the sixth tier to the EFL for their first-ever time. Weaver had a 13-year playing career which all started at his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday in 1996. Whilst with the Owls, he had a short loan spell with Doncaster Rovers before leaving permanently to Ilkeston Town. The defender went on to play for a total of 15 clubs throughout his career which includes the likes of Lincoln City, Macclesfield Town and York City. In total, Weaves notched 268 first-team appearances before hanging up his boots in 2009. Interestingly, after Weaver became the manager of the club his Dad, Irving Weaver, became the Chairman of the Harrogate Town AFC and they have since taken Town to the next level.

  • My Lifestory by Audrey Pettigrew Family Life
    My Lifestory by Audrey Pettigrew Family Life I was born on 21st August 1932 at St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester. 2 The only photo taken of me as a baby is the one below, when I was 12 months old. Before I was born my mother gave birth to unnamed, stillborn, twin boys. 3 My mother was Margaret Evans and my father was Arthur Gregory. My dad served in World War I. A soldier’s tin hat, WWI Dad when he was in the army 4 After the war he became an engineer at Platts, Oldham. The headquarters of Platts 5 As a young woman my mum worked in cotton mills. Later she went into Service working for a family of Dutch Jews, who had fled to the U.K. to escape the Nazis in their homeland. The holocaust badge. The word Jew is written in Dutch. 6 The Dutch family became very instrumental in my upbringing, and became lifelong friends. Mum would take me to work with her where I met Jan, a Dutch boy. As youngsters we played happily together, and in our teens we spent many happy times in Holland. 7 I lived in Cranberry Street, Glodwick, Oldham, quite a poor neighbourhood. I lived in a two up two down terraced house with no bathroom. When I was 8 years old in 1940, I witnessed a bomb exploding in my street and destroying houses and the local pub, the Cranberry Inn. 8 My mother had several sisters who lived nearby. I affectionately knew them as the “old aunts” and they took turns at looking after me, whilst my mother worked.

  • Push the Boundary Email: [email protected]
    Push The Boundary Email: [email protected] 6 November 2019 Dear Abdallah We are writing to you on behalf of those Oldham Athletic supporters who have concerns about the future of our foot- ball club and in particular those listed at the end of this letter. “Push the Boundary” is a group of supporters who have common concerns that our football club is being run in a way that is contra to its best interests. The group has been founded by four supporters but we believe has the support of a large proportion of the fan base. Following the release of our independent group, signatures supporting this letter to you, have risen to 596 in the space of a week. This clearly shows the level of dissatisfaction and disconnect that sup- porters currently feel, at the current state of our beloved Oldham Athletic Football Club. The purpose of this letter is to express our specific concerns about the direction that Oldham Athletic appears to be taking under the current Board of Directors. We fully appreciate the state that the football club was in at the time that you were in negotiations with the previous owner and that these issues stretch back several years. It is far from ideal that Oldham Athletic Football Club no longer owns Boundary Park or the land upon which the ground is located. This will always hugely impact upon the amount of revenue that the club is able to generate. It was also apparent to most supporters that the club was on the brink of insolvency prior to your purchase.

  • Harrogate Town with a Solid Away Performance
    Harro-great For Shrimps 10 man Morecambe back to winning ways, as they take an early lead to see off Harrogate Town with a solid away performance. Fresh from a rare week off in-between fixtures, a relatively well rested Shrimps side headed east to face in-form Yorkshire outfit Harrogate Town for an all-roses clash. With skipper Sam Lavelle suspended following an unsuccessful appeal against his red card last time out, Morecambe were glad to be able to call upon the services of fit again Nathaniel Knight- Percival. A surprise recall for Alex Kenyon in place of the influential Yann Songo’o, re- suspended for a further four games following the outcome of an elongated FA hearing, completed the enforced changes to the Shrimps starting line-up for the clubs first ever trip to Wetherby Road. Stand-in Morecambe Captain Aaron Wildig elected to kick down the slope in the first half, and that looked to be an inspired decision when the Shrimps caught the hosts cold. A Liam Gibson through ball found its way to Carlos Mendes Gomes down the left and into the hosts’ box, with the resulting cross-come-shot bouncing over the sprawling Sulphurites goalkeeper and into the net to give the Shrimps a 1-0 lead. John O’Sullivan was in close attendance and attempted to claim a David Nugent-esque on the line tap-in, but the opener was adjudged to have been an own-goal by Will Smith with just 28 seconds on the clock. The Lancastrians had a trio of chances to extend their early advantage around the 15 minute mark.

WWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to our Northern Premier League game against league leaders Warrington Town. We would like to extend a warm welcome to their players, officials and supporters along with the match officials and hope they enjoy their visit. It is the best part of a month since we shared the points with Morpeth in our last home game and a lot has happened since then. The disappointing FA Cup exit at Skelmersdale was followed by the frustration of our home game against Gainsborough having to be postponed the day before as a precaution following Covid concerns around the visitors. The pandemic continues to have a big impact on our league at the moment with three clubs currently not being able to play for a short period of time. I am sure all other clubs send them their best wishes whilst hoping it is a situation they can avoid themselves. However, the season has taken a turn for the better in the last week with our first win of the season coming in con- vincing fashion at Grantham last Saturday which was then followed up by a hard earned point at FC United in mid- week. Warrington have made another excellent start to the season and arrive at Giant Axe with a three point lead at the top of the table having won five and lost one of their seven games to date.
