• Magpies’ Sponsorship Packages 2019/20 •

We would like your help to continue making positive impacts to the Stonehouse community. We believe at Stonehouse Town Football Club, that we are not just a football club, but see ourselves as key contributors towards our local community. As an example, our youngest team - the first team, has a squad of 18 players with an average age of 24 - which demonstrates the opportunities for development that we can provide for local kids to help focus their attention on sport rather than other, less beneficial, activities. Moreover, we raise all our own funds with no significant input from external agencies which allows the club to keep in touch with local fundraising and sponsorship. In view of our desire to promote the football club up the Non-League Pyramid, we are very keen to forge links with local businesses as a winning example of shared involvement in the community of Stonehouse. There are several ways that we can build relationships to strengthen ties, particularly by acquiring sponsors for our teams, our ground and our equipment. Your sponsorship includes - a namecheck in all relevant Club communications on our Facebook, Twitter and social media pages. It also includes an entry into our List of Sponsors on view daily at the Magpies Social Club and our ground.

• A Message from the Gaffer • ‘Finally we get to play football at Oldends Lane and what a difference a few weeks make. With the floodlights in place we await the green light for an historic mid-week under lights experience. I would to extend a warm welcome to Cheltenham Saracens and their supporters and let’s hope for a strong competitive game. Our game earlier in the season was just that, with the difference being a silly mistake and clinical finishing from the visitors today.

‘We await an historic mid-week under lights experience’ We continue to strengthen the squad and am pleased to announce another exciting addition in Rodrigo Carvalho, who is a Brazilian Striker who plied his trade in the Italian Serie C league last season, he goes straight into the squad today as we look to get back to winning ways. I have a strong squad out today so I’m looking for a reaction to our very narrow and unlucky defeat against Wellington last time out Enjoy the game and let’s not look for any excuses.’ #House

• How the F.A. Pyramid System Works • Level 1 in the pyramid, the top division of English football, is run by the Premier League (which gives its name to the competition in that division), the winners of which are regarded as the champions of England. Levels 2-4 are run by the English Football League. Together, these 4 divisions make up what is known as "league football".

The leagues below level 4 are classed as ‘Non-League’, meaning they are outside the English Football League. The leagues at levels 5-11 (Step 1-7), comprise the National League System (NLS), and come under the direct jurisdiction of the Football Association. The top level (level 5) of the NLS is known as "step 1" by the FA, the next (level 6) as step 2", and so on. • The National League System • For the 2019/20 season, each Step shall have the following maximum number of Clubs: Step 1 – 24, Step 2 – 44, Step 3 – 88, Step 4 – 140, Step 5 – 280, Step 6 – 400. Clubs will be placed in the most geographically appropriate division. At Step 7 the maximum number of Clubs in each division shall be determined by the Committee taking into account all relevant factors. From the 2020/21 season onwards, each Step shall have the following maximum number of Clubs: Step 1 – 24, Step 2 – 48, Step 3 – 88, Step 4 – 160, Step 5 – 320, Step 6 – 340.

• Stonehouse Town FC - Club History •

Stonehouse Town Football Club, popularly known as the ‘Magpies’ because of their Black and White striped strip, starts at the Youth level, from 4 years old all the way through to under 16s, as well as girls' age groups at u12s, 14s & 16 and Adults. Notwithstanding the youth section, the highly popular senior part of the club runs a 1st team in the Hellenic League Division 1 West, plus three teams across the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League and Stroud Leagues, whilst not forgetting the Veterans side playing monthly and featuring a number of Magpies’ stalwarts. Founded in 1898, the Magpies play at the stadium at Oldends Lane, Stonehouse, which was opened by legendary England International Billy Wright on 25th August 1949 in a friendly against Cheltenham Town, and features the Mike Smith Stand, dedicated to our long-serving Secretary Mike ‘Spike’ Smith. During the Club’s heydays in the 1950s and 1960s, the Club regularly hosted attendances of over 1,000 spectators, and the record attendance for the Ground is 5,500 for a game against Gloucester City on 29th September 1951 in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round. The Club’s record Receipts for a single game was at the same game, when we received £272/8s/9d, worth £7854 in today’s money, although 6000 attended the 1962 Stonehouse Invitation XI v the All Stars Showbiz XI, which featured a range of (then!) huge celebrities such as Jimmy Young and Pete Murray! We were the first ever winners of the Gloucestershire County League in 1968/9 season, but it took almost 30 years to re- enter the League after relegation in the early 80s. Promotion in 2014/5 was achieved via the Runners Up slot in Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division 1, under Haydn Murray’s managership, whereupon we were looking forward to cementing our place back in the County League, or even beyond. Season 2014/5 was also when we won a cup double via the Senior Amateur County Cup (1st time since 1976) and the Premier Section of Stroud Charity Cup, as well as reaching the Reg Davis Cup Final, where we lost 3-2 to Newent Town FC. Season 2015/6 saw a mid-season change of manager to Alex Lumsden, but it sadly saw us only finish 3rd in the League, insufficient to earn promotion out of the League, and Ian Soule took over as Manager to try to push the Club further, whilst retaining a strong core of the regular players for a number of years. Season 2018/19 saw us finish in 3rd place once again in the County League, but that was enough to secure much-coveted promotion to the Hellenic League Div. 1 West for the first time. The club appointed Phil Orsborn as the 1st Team Manager in May 2019, alongside Ian Logan-Giles as his assistant. With promotion not secured until after their appointment, Phil and Ian have had an extra bonus already, with a first campaign in the Hellenic League on the horizon.

• Cheltenham Saracens FC - Club History • Formed in 1964 as part of a multi-sport club, they joined the Cheltenham League Division 5. Gradually the football section grew in strength and was soon running two sides in the Cheltenham League, two in the Stroud & District, two Sunday teams and several youth teams. In 1986 the club were elected to the Hellenic League and stayed in Division 1 until they were promoted to the Premier Division in 1999/2000 with the second team also winning the Reserve Section that same year. After two years in the Premier the team were relegated back to Division 1 in 2001/2002. In 2015/2016 the club narrowly missed out on winning the Division 1 title but secured promotion to the Premier Division by finishing second, however the club decided to remain in Division 1. The club has now a strong base to move forward with three senior teams on Saturdays and junior teams aged between 6-14.

Then the players can hold their hands up and say, ‘Listen, I simply wasn’t good enough this season’.

But at the moment it’s about getting the results to stay in the National League. Personally, I think they will.”

Right job will come my way Waiting for my next opportunity in management has given me plenty of time to learn and improve.

From going out to games and observing other coaches, it’s been an interesting period.

I had an interview for a Football League vacancy, which was a really good experience. I’m a bit OCD so I have to know every detail – I was prepared! And to get a confidence boost that I was down to the last three above some decent names was nice too.

Would I change anything from the interview? No, I felt I interviewed well. I won’t change who I am. I know some would to get a job. But I am what I am. I work hard and do my homework for every team I’m involved with.

I watched a video on YouTube with Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony about how to interview well. There were some good tips to take. As he said, without being too confident, you’ve got to half interview the people who are interviewing you as well.

There’s a fine line between thinking you’ve got a job, but he said it shows confidence in your ability you feel comfortable asking questions.

I believe in my personality and I feel maybe I’m a little different to some managers because of my background. For some it’s one way or the highway. I believe in adaptability.

I had a coffee with a Non-League club in the week and I’ve had some other offers that haven’t been quite right.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not naïve to keep staying away from it. But I know I’ve got to take a challenge at the right club.

. Having a positive focus is key now, predicts the NLP’s Lee Fowler As I explained in my column in The Non-League Paper on Sunday, it’s amazing what a couple of new faces can do for a squad.

Take Wrexham new boys Davis Keillor-Dunn and Dan Jarvis.

Keillor-Dunn has been playing in Scotland while Jarvis has arrived at the Racecourse on loan from Stoke City.

I saw their National League debuts in the 3-0 win against Woking last weekend.

It’s fair to say there’s been discontent at Wrexham but when new players come in, they likely don’t have a clue what’s been happening so they aren’t weighed down. They’ll just think they’re playing for a really big club.

What I saw was captain Shaun Pearson back to the levels we’re so used to seeing from him. He won every header – and dished out some rollickings!

In midfield, Luke Summerfield was full of energy. The new young lads kind of helped changed the dynamics. I experienced it as a player at Crawley when I signed along with Anthony Wordsworth and Richard Wood.

When you arrive at a club not feeling that pressure or bogged down by things, you just go and play. We could soon feel the excitement build among the Crawley fans.

I don’t see football as pressure. You have to enjoy it. There have been mistakes at Wrexham, yes. But for the next 14 games they just need to forget everything that has gone on before.

In the summer, everyone can sit down and reflect. People can hold their hands up to mistakes or what hasn’t gone well. But also what has gone well.

There have been good things at Wrexham too. But because there’s been a lot of negativity, that gets swallowed up.

It’s not the time for a post mortem. That can come in the summer. The board can hold their hands up on certain things, which the fans will respect and then they may say they got onto the board or players too much. Website: http://www.stonehousetownfc.co.uk E-mail: [email protected]
