OFFICIAL DIGITAL PROGRAMME FLEET TOWN v A.F.C. DUNSTABLE SATURDAY 23rd DECEMBER 2017 – 3 P.M The Evo-Stik League South East V BRADLEY WILSON WHO SCORED IN OUR LAST HOME GAME SPONSORED BY WELCOME FROM OUR JOINT MANAGER STEVE DORMER Good afternoon and a warm welcome to The Management, playing staff and supporters of A.F.C. Dunstable who are our visitors today. This is of course our last home game before the festive period and it will be a very challenging one as our opponents are currently lying second in the league. As we near the half way point in the season I am not at all surprised how the table is starting to look now, particularly at the top end. I was not at the away game at Dunstable but I hear that they were deserved winners. Interestingly we now only have 3 players who played in that game who are still with us. Our programme over the festive period does not come much tougher than the two home games and one away game all against teams who are currently in the top seven. This does not worry me in fact it excites me, we have nothing to lose and I see it as a real opportunity for this new group of lads to see how far we have come . Andy and I both feel we need to strengthen our squad in certain areas and are working hard to do this over the next few weeks. Firstly we have dual registered Stuart Norman a young local keeper as back up to Liam Beach, he will help us out over Xmas and the New Year as his current club have no games during this period. Liam has performed brilliantly this season but it’s very important that we have a back up . We have also signed centre back Owen Roberts on dual registration from Whyteleaf F.C. Owen is a player I have tried to sign twice previously so its third time lucky for me. He is a big lad, a no nonsense old school defender who will give us great presence both in the air and with his leadership skills. Although he is still only 22 he has played over 200 games at Ryman South level . Owen has been out for a few months with broken ribs but will train and slowly get involved, he may even appear on the bench for today’s game. We are also working on one more additional player and hopefully we will be able to announce positive news about this very soon. However for us personally, unless we get a serious injury, we are happy with our squad for the remainder of the season once this last signing comes on board. After today’s game we travel to Moneyfields on Boxing day for an early kick off at 12.30 p.m. then comes a massive local derby game at home against our neighbours Hartley Wintney on New Year’s Day with a 3p.m kick off . Finally I would like to wish everyone associated with the club a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Myself, Andy and all the players look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our games over the festive period. Enjoy the match and Come on you Blues.
