Good afternoon and welcome to all players’ staff officials and supporters of Brackley Town Saints we hope you enjoy your trip to Kayte Lane

We got back to winning ways last time out in our first league game since Bank Holiday Monday with a 1-0 win over Windsor thanks to Stats header but with today being another cup game it’s a little bit frustrating to say the least.

Cup games are great though but we all know what the main aim for this campaign is #bounceback but it’s important we get used to winning games of football again and that is what we will be looking to do today.

Liam Harding has joined us on loan from Evesham United as he bids to regain fitness after his injury. I for one am really pleased for the lad to be playing again after such a long time and I’m grateful to the gaffer (Paul Collicutt) for letting him join us for a while

Thanks for your continued support

Enjoy the game

BISHOPS CLEEVE FOOTBALL CLUB BRIEF HISTORY

Founded 1905 County Members Gloucestershire Football Association Southern League History 2006 – present day Hellenic League History 1983 – 2006 Principal honours 2011/12 & 2015/16 Glos. Senior Challenge Trophy Runners-Up ===== In their long history Bishops Cleeve have led a much more nomadic existence than many clubs, but have now been settled in the impressive Kayte Lane ground since 1997. For many years the club played on a ground in Stoke Road – with facilities rebuilt and reopened in 1971 by the then secretary of , Ted Croker. The enforced move to Kayte Lane came about due to the old ground being sold by the landlord. The club enjoyed a brief period of success in the late 60s – gaining promotion from the Cheltenham League and winning four Championships in their six seasons in the Glos. Northern Senior League. After dropping back to the Cheltenham League, Cleeve gained promotion into the Hellenic League in 1983, quickly becoming a force in that division, finishing fourth in their first two seasons in Div. One. This great start was followed up with a third place finish, then winning the Championship and gaining promotion to the Premier Division at the fourth attempt, and winning the ‘double’ by adding the Glos. Amateur Cup. A fantastic achievement. The five seasons in the Premier Division proved to be a struggle for the Club, although the team followed up their Cup success by adding another trophy to their collection, winning the Premier Cup at the first attempt. The return to Division One proved the catalyst for a period of rebuilding, on and off the pitch. The Club needed to enter into a number of ground share agreements to preserve their League status – Forest Green Rovers, Moreton Town, Wollen Sports and Highworth all allowed us to use their grounds. This difficult period galvanised our club members, and the club was kept running by the dedicated efforts of a few stalwarts – notably Cheltenham Town legend, Dave Lewis, whose efforts were recognised by Carling Brewery, awarding him their ‘Clubman of the Year’ accolade (and a year’s supply of beer!) After approval for the Kayte Lane site was given in 1997, club members started the building of the clubhouse and changing rooms – using materials kindly donated by Smiths Aerospace (now GE Aviation) There followed a great transformation in the team’s fortunes, and they duly secured another promotion in 2001 back to the Hellenic Premier Division. In order to take this opportunity the club entered into another ground share at Evesham United! 2003 & 2004 proved to be a landmark period for the club – returning to ‘The Lane’ after the new Stand and floodlights were approved, achieving FA Charter Standard for Football in the Community, and the completion of the building and facilities. In 2006 the team gained promotion to the Sothern League, joining the Midland Division before being moved to the South & West Division a few seasons later, where the club currently reside. The club has enjoyed mixed fortunes in their Southern League time, generally enjoying mid-table security, with the highlight being season 2011/12 when the club finished with their best ever points haul (in a creditable 11th) and reached the Gloucestershire Senior Cup final, played at Bristol City’s Ashton Gate ground, where we unfortunately succumbed to a Bristol City side featuring two Full Welsh Internationals! With the departure of Alex Sykes to County rivals Shortwood United, the ex-Cheltenham Town professional John Brough took the helm but left towards the end of the season to join Cinderford Town.

2013/14 saw local lad Stephen Cleal take charge with Derek Lightstone, as his assistant, both had a long history with the club and they forged a close link with our Second and Third teams – as well a community tie to Bishops Cleeve Colts Youth section – the future of the club seemed much more secure on and off the field of play. After surviving relegation in their first season they put together a competitive team finishing 12th in the league and losing 1-0 to Forest Green Rovers in the County FA Senior Cup. 2016/17 saw another first for Steve winning the club’s first FA Trophy game. 2017/18 saw the arrival of Matt Jeynes to the management team another who had played for the club in recent years and they later joined by Alex Lumsden Unfortunately a number of players left the club and the season didn’t get off to a good start. The team did rally towards the latter part of the Season but were relegated after losing the last game. So after 12 years we now look for a speedy return to Step 4 of the NLS.

Brackley Town • Club History

Brackley Town FC was formed in 1890 and were initially a prominent side in the area, but fell away, with most of the period before World War II being spent in the Oxfordshire Senior Football League, before a switch to the North Bucks and District League in the post war years. In 1968 they took a step down the ladder by joining the Banbury & District League. In 1974 they moved back to the North Bucks League and also moved to their current St James Park ground in Churchill Way. A small clubhouse and changing rooms were built and by 1977 the club had stepped up to the Hellenic League. They stayed in Division One until 1983 when they switched to the United Counties League, where they won the Division One title at the first attempt. Although they were Premier Division runners-up in 1988–89 their time in the division was generally spent near the foot of the table, with three consecutive last-place finishes between 1992 and 1994. In 1994 the club moved back to the Hellenic League. After a mediocre first season, Phil Lines took over as manager and led them to the Premier Division title in 1997 and with it promotion to the Southern League. However, they only managed two seasons at that level during which, with finances at full stretch, the club was forced into liquidation in February 1999 with debts of over £100,000. The club was saved from extinction but demoted back into the Hellenic League.

Despite a speedy turnover of managers they consistently finished in the Hellenic League's top 10 and were promoted back to the Southern League after winning the title in 2004. Phil Lines returned in February 2006 and guided the club to a third place finish, culminating in defeat in the last few minutes of the play- off final for promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. In 2006–07, Brackley finished top of the Southern League Division One Midlands. In the 2007–08 season, they competed in the Southern League Premier Division. Manager Phil Lines, however, became director of football, and Roger Ashby became the new manager for the new season. Ashby was soon sacked by the club replaced by former player David Oldfield in a player/manager role. Oldfield departed Brackley Town at the end of the season to join Peterborough United, after which Phil Lines came back as manager. During the 2006–07 season, Brackley reached the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup (the round immediately prior to the first round proper), up until then their best achievement in that competition, but were knocked out at that stage by Havant & Waterlooville. Two seasons later Brackley surpassed this by beating Hampton & Richmond Borough in the fourth qualifying round to reach the first round proper for the first time. They went on to lose 2–1 to Eastwood Town at Coronation Park. Phil Lines handed in his resigna- tion in April 2009 after a run of bad results ended Town's chances of a play-off place. Midfielder Jon Brady was given the caretaker's job while the job was advertised. Eventually, Brady was appointed as permanent manager for the 2009–10 season. The club finished in 5th place, their highest ever finish in the non league pyramid, but lost in the play-off semi-final to Nuneaton Town.

The 2011–12 season saw Brackley reach the Football Conference after winning the Southern League Premier Division title by 8 points. Brackley went top of the table after 20 games and never relinquished their top position for the remainder of the season. On top of the league title the club retained the Northamptonshire Hillier Senior Cup, beating Conference North club Corby Town in the final at Nene Park. They completed a treble by also claiming the Maunsell Cup for the first time in their history after they defeated Northampton Town 1–0 in a game played during pre-sea- son. The club retained the Maunsell Cup in July 2012, beating a youthful Peterborough United side 3–0 at St James Park. The club has also added the Southern League Champions Cup to their trophy cabinet in 2012–13 season, beating Clevedon Town 2–1.

By Hugo Varley

It’s always a real shame to see the FA’s decision to remove Whyteleafe from this season’s FA Cup over what seems to have been an incredibly minor administrative mistake. The Essex-based club were kicked out of the competition just 24 hours before their second qualifying match against St Albans after the FA ruled that an ineligible player had been played during an earlier round. If their appeal is unsuccessful then it is believed that Whyteleafe will have to return the £6000 they received for beating Corinthian Casuals in the previous round; while a potential points deduction could also be on the cards as the ineligible player has also represented Whyteleafe in a Bostik Division One South game this season. In some respects I see the argument that rules are rules and if one is broken then a club should be punished, however on occasions like this it is plainly clear that the FA have a completely blinkered view of the realities of Non-League football. Clubs like Whyteleafe usually rely on the work of volunteers or part-time staff whose responsibilities stretch across numerous different duties. It would be perfectly reasonable to expect a Football League club, who have a fully staffed administrative department, to abide by all regulations; however in Non-League the situation is completely different. My worry is that if the FA is insistent on stringently enforcing every single rule without looking into the context of individual situations then the volunteers throughout Non-League football may decide against continuing their involvement with their local sides for fear of making a potentially damaging mistake. It is absolutely essential that the FA develop a level of common sense with regards to their regulations and realise that a certain amount of leeway should be given in certain situations.

Hell for leather: mystery surrounds the first ever World Cup final ball

Eighty-eight years on, people are still confused about which football was used in the first ever World Cup final after an argument erupted between Argentina and

FIFA World Cup FinalBelgian referee Jean Langenus holding the match ball before the kick-off of the first FIFA World Cup Final, between Uruguay and Argentina at the in , 30th July 1930. Uruguay won 4-2. 18 June ~ The 2018 World Cup final was played with the Adidas Telstar 18 football, the latest official tournament ball, and the first to be embedded with an NFC chip – allowing fans to interact with it via their smartphones. We’ve come a long way since the first final in 1930, when there was no official tournament ball, nor even a regulation size and weight, and hosts Uruguay and opponents Argentina couldn’t agree on which one to use. Today, 88 years on, there remains some confusion over which ball was used in the 1930 World Cup final. The match was played on July 30, 1930, and there were more than 90,000 fans inside Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and a ring of armed guards with rifles and fixed bayonets surrounded the field. The simmering animosity between Uruguay and Argentina had been heated to boiling point during the tournament by provocative articles in the press. There had been rumours of death threats against the players, and reports of travelling fans carrying pistols and other weapons. The stand-off over the ball only heightened the tension. It had been agreed before the tournament that both Uruguay and Argentina could play their matches with their own ball, but that agreement went out of the window when the two sides faced each other. Both balls were laced brown leather casers. The Uruguayan ball was a distinctive T-model, with 11 interlocking T-shaped panels. Although tournament rules meant it could not be visibly branded, it is thought to have been an imported English “Wembley” brand, manufactured by J Salter & Son of Aldershot. The Argentinian ball, the smaller and lighter of the two, was a more traditional model, with 12 rectangular- shaped panels. It was known in Argentina as the Tiento (Touch) ball, but was actually an imported Players brand made in Scotland – meaning that both England and Scotland were represented at the first World Cup. The referee was John Langenus, a tall, 39-year-old Belgian, who officiated in a shirt and tie and plus-fours. He was self-taught in the Laws of the Game and had failed his first refereeing exam, but he had proved his mettle in previous matches, dealing with a chaotic pitch invasion during Uruguay’s opening win over Peru, and then a mass brawl during Argentina’s quarter-final win over Chile. When he strode out into the maelstrom of the Centenario ahead of the final, he carried both the Argentinian ball and the Uruguayan ball. “The extraordinary enmity between the two countries was revealed when the time came to choose a ball for the match,” recalled Langenus in his written memoir. “Both teams brought their own ball and demanded to play with it. That’s why I found myself carrying a ball under each arm. The match ball was chosen by the toss of a coin.” Argentina won the toss, and the 1930 World Cup final kicked off with their ball – the Tiento. Langenus had settled that argument, but had not entirely diffused the tension. His decision to allow Argentina’s second goal, which the Uruguayans claimed was offside, was particularly contentious. But Uruguay’s second-half comeback and eventual victory more than appeased the ecstatic home crowd. Langenus reflected that the safety concerns had been “a storm in a teacup”. “From time to time we heard a sharp crack, like the sound of a revolver being fired,” he wrote, “but it was just firecrackers.” Langenus was rushed away by police escort after blowing the final whistle to catch the next boat to Europe. But, long after the whistle, another argument continued to simmer. Many modern sources state that the Argentinian ball was used in the first half, and the Uruguayan ball was used in the second half. It’s a neat story – Argentina took a 2-1 lead with their ball in the first half, and Uruguay came back to win 4-2 with their ball in the second half. But no known contemporary source, including those from Uruguay and Argentina, mentions it, and nor does Langenus. Photographic evidence appears to show that the Argentinian Tiento was used for the full match. When the Argentinian ball was auctioned by Bonhams in 2003, the provenance stated that it had been presented following the final whistle by his team-mates to Juan Peregrino Anselmo, who scored twice for Uruguay in the semi-final but missed the final through injury. This ball – likely the only ball used in the first World Cup final – is currently on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester. Paul Brown

Meet FC Brickstand – the new Lego football club on the block

From

matches against Blockport County and Plastic Thistle to a fan-designed kit and a stadium compete with safe standing, FC Brickstand are bringing some fun to the season

10 September ~ During February’s so-called Beast from the East and the havoc it wreaked upon the footballing calendar, Chris Smith tweeted a photo of some Lego Minifigures clearing Lego snow from a Lego pitch. Among those hard at work were R2-D2, a knight and, aptly, the Simpsons’ Groundskeeper Willie. The Altrincham-based Crystal Palace fan didn’t quite know it then, but he had just come up with a great idea.

Already known for his project to build all 92 English League grounds out of Lego, Brickstand, Smith had just conceived what is steadily becoming a fully fledged Lego football club. With the new season now underway, FC Brickstand are competing in their maiden campaign in the Diorama Conference, where they will come up against the likes of Blockport County, Makersfield Town and Plastic Thistle. Their ground (Brick Lane, of course), kit (a slick-looking sash-bearing number) and manager (determined, sharply dressed character Felix Schmidt) are all in place, all having been voted for by the fans. In fact, when it came to deciding upon a strip, followers were invited to get creative and submit their own designs. Through the Builders, as they are naturally nicknamed, Smith is showing how democratic football might be in an ideal world. While Brickstand – which has now reached more or less the halfway mark – has proved very popular as a creative exhibit, FC Brickstand takes that combination of Lego and football to a new level of fun. Competing in a 24-team league, they play 46 fixtures over the course of the real season – albeit most likely on Sunday evenings, Smith explains, “just to detach it from anyone watching their teams in real life”. From tweeting in-play updates, to recording stop-motion footage of the goals, the plan is to make the whole world of FC Brickstand as immersive as possible. Much of the beauty of Lego lies in the remarkable creations that can arise from its intrinsic simplicity, and Smith is making the most of that. He even floats the possibility of an “open day where people can come along and [meet] the players, and maybe try and get involved in a bit of the building, just to make it an interactive thing.”

The construction of the aforementioned Brick Lane was regularly shared on social media for fans to see. From a small Lego construction crew “breaking ground” on the site, to the installation of rail seating for safe standing areas – the level of detail really is superb – it’s been a thoroughly enjoyable and intriguing process to follow so far. The finished product has an impressive capacity of around 2,000 (Lego) spectators, and Smith is already thinking about how to pull in the punters, so to speak. “People could maybe send in a figure that they have lying around at home,” he suggests, “and that could be their season ticket.” Look out for astronauts, Harry Potter characters and members of the emergency services watching on intently from the stands.

As non-League as the general feel of FC Brickstand is intended to be, it’s not without its commercial side, perhaps expectedly. “I’ll try and sell advertising boards around the perimeter of the pitch,” says Smith. “I’ll be able to take people’s company logos and get them printed onto the Lego.” It’s another rather inspired idea, and one he hopes will generate at least “a couple of extra pounds” to go towards infrastructure. A membership pack featuring physical club merchandise is also being planned for the future, while being an official affiliate partner of Lego means FC Brickstand receive a small cut from Lego Shop purchases made by anyone who clicks through adverts on the club website.

As the club took shape, a prestigious friendly with Olymbrick de Marseille marked the opening of Brick Lane. Now a few matches into the season, with some thrilling matches so far, the project has really come to life and piqued the curiosity of would-be supporters. FC Brickstand might only be in its infancy, but in a sport so often all too divided and detached, it already seems more than capable of providing some united, involved and, most importantly of all, lighthearted relief.

UEFA are planning a third European club competition. Presumably they would welcome name and format suggestions. How about "Not The Cup Winners Cup"?

Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk's preparations for their opening Champions League group game have been damaged by a mole in the camp. No tactics or injury lists have been leaked, but they have made a bit of a mess of the pitch

Before the match #ShakhtarHoffenheim at the OSK Metalist in Kharkiv, there appeared some mole holes near the corner flag in front of the northern stand.
