Life Vice-Presidents: Paul Burgess Alan Constable @ashfordtownmx Gareth Coates #ASHCVI 5 @ashfordtownmx Welcome to the
RPSAlan Constable Good afternoon everyone Firstly we welcome everyone associated with Canvey Island FC and hope they had a pleasant journey to Short Lane. We have not played our visitors since the 2009-2010 season when we were both at Step 3 in the Isthmian League. They had the better of things drawing here one apiece whilst we lost at Canvey 1-2. Our scorers were Jones Awuah in the home match and Warren Harris at Canvey. This afternoon’s match is in the FA Trophy with the winners advancing to the 1st Qualifying Round, the draw to be made on Monday by the FA. Canvey will have seen our record so far this season and will surely fancy their chances but despite the overall lack of points to show for it, there remains a feeling that we are on the verge of much better things, or certainly would be, with a little more luck than we have been having. Last week, we lost in the fifth minute of stoppage time to a controversial goal against Harlow Town when to a man, we felt there had been an assault on Scott Weight in our own area, clearly not seen by the referee and a corner was given from which Harlow scraped a winner. In a 1-2 defeat, our scorer was Dan Brown with an excellent strike in the first two minutes. It had been a good, close and sometimes thrilling encounter but much of the match was overshadowed by the events in those last few seconds when Scott was sent off, for what we don’t quite know and two Harlow players were sent off only for one them to be called back apparently, as the referee only reported one dismissal as far as they concerned. The truth was that he seemed to lose control of the situation, admittedly not helped by some of the players on both sides, and it was clear from the discussions that took place between the three officials for what seemed an eternity that none of them seemed to have a clear handle on what had actually happened. We can only move on. Canvey arrive here today in 15th place in the Northern Section of the Isthmian League, having won three and lost three of their league matches to date but they had the disappointment of going out of the FA Cup in midweek losing on penalties in a replay against Bowers and Pitsea. Once again we appeal to everyone involved with the club to support our social events when they occur and we have two now in hand in November. On Saturday 2 November, the annual Halloween Night takes place, with prizes for the best outfits and so on plus bar deals. Let’s be honest, some of our supporters (and committee) won’t need to do too much to dress up as ghouls, etc., and the evening is usually great fun. We are following that up a fortnight later, on Saturday 16 November with our first “gin” evening. Gin seems to be the drink of the moment with so many different flavours now available. We are still making the final arrangements and there will be more details shortly but we will have some for you to try on what should be another great evening. Barring a replay against Canvey, next Tuesday we are just down the road at Bedfont Sports in the 1st Round of the Middlesex Senior Cup, kick-off 7.45 p.m. and a new date for your diary is Tuesday 19 November when we will be entertaining Guildford City in the 1st Round of the Specsavers Surrey Senior Cup

#ASHCVI 13 @ashfordtownmx Today’s Opponents Canvey Island Club History The Club was founded in 1926, but unfortunately most of the early records of the Club were lost in the devastating East Coast floods of 1953. The Club were very successful during their days in the local leagues, winning many cups and league championships in the process. During these years, the club appointed Denis Neville as manager, his first job after leaving his position as the Dutch National Team manager.
However, the club had drifted away towards the end of the 1980’s, and the very existence of Canvey Island FC was in serious doubt. When it looked as though the end was near, local businessman and former Canvey player Jeff King took over as manager, as well as helping to generate funds to take the club forward.
Canvey the enjoyed a meteoric rise up the football pyramid, the success starting in 1993 where The Gulls won the Essex Senior League and reached the semi-final of the FA Vase.
The Club then gained promotion to the Isthmian League in 1994 and won promotion from Division Three and Division Two in successive seasons. In 1995/96 after beating Conference team Hednesford Town in the FA Cup they reached the First Round Proper and drew 2-2 with Football League team Brighton & Hove Albion at Park Lane in front of a then ground record crowd of 3,400. The replay was lost at Brighton in front of a crowd of over 7,000. As well as winning Division Two the team were also winners of the Carlton Trophy and Thames-side Trophy.
The season 1998/99 was yet another exciting one for the supporters as the Club won the Division One championship and the Essex Senior Cup, beating Leyton Orient in the final. Season 1999/2000 was the Club's first season in the Premier Division of the Ryman League and they finished a very creditable fifth in the League and retained the Essex Senior Cup, defeating Purfleet in the Final.
The following season had seen the team win the FA Trophy by beating Forest Green Rovers 1-0 in the final in front of over 10,000 people at Villa Park and thousands more watching live on television. To win the FA Trophy they had to beat four Conference League teams in succession - Stevenage Borough, Telford United, Chester City (over two legs) and Forest Green. In previous rounds Canvey defeated Harlow Town, Northwood and Bilston Town. Earlier in the season the Club had another great FA Cup run and after beating Braintree Town, King's Lynn and Cambridge City they were drawn against Port Vale from the Second Division of the Football League. In an exciting match at Park Lane they drew 4-4 after being 4-2 down with only two minutes left to play.
14 #ASHCVI ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com
However, even better was to follow as they went to Port Vale and beat them 2-1 after extra time. They were then drawn at home to Football League neighbours Southend United. To accommodate the number of people wishing to see the game, Canvey agreed to transfer the match to Southend's Roots Hall ground. A capacity crowd of 11,400 people saw the game, with record gate receipts for a game at Southend, and Canvey were narrowly beaten. These tremendous cup runs took their toll in the League. With a large number of matches being postponed on opponents’ grounds because of waterlogged pitches, it meant they had to complete the season with ten league games in fifteen days and consequently dropped points that may have taken them to the league title and a place in the Conference League. However, it was still a fine performance to finish runners-up in their second season inthe Premier Division. The Club had enjoyed a then record-breaking season the following year when they reached the Third Round Proper of the FACup for the first time. On the way they beat five teams including two from the Second Division of the Football League, Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium, and Northampton Town in front of a full house at Park Lane and five million television viewers on 'Match of the Day Live'. Burnley finally knocked them out in a memorable game at Turf Moor. They finished runners-up in the Ryman Premier League, despite winning thirty games and scoring 108 goals, and in defending the FA Trophy the team had a fine run before narrowly losing away to the eventual winners, Yeovil Town. The team did, however, end the season with silverware when winning the Essex Senior Cup, beating Dagenham & Redbridge in the final.
Canvey had another fine League season the previous year, finishing runners-up in the Ryman Premier League. Although this was another superb performance, finishing thirteen points clear of the third placed club, it was tinged with disappointment as it was the third season running the Club had finished runners-up in their quest to reach the Conference League. Towards the end of the season the Club had a ground record attendance of 3,553 when playing the eventual champions Aldershot Town in a midweek League game. However, the disappointment was a mark of how far the Club had progressed over the last decade, since winning the Essex Senior League. The next season saw Canvey reach the goal they had been working towards for the previous four years, as they won the Ryman Premier League by a margin of nineteen points. Canvey also reached the FATrophy final and the 1st Round of the FA Cup. The League was clinched at Easter with seven games still to play and the team finally finished with a total of 104 points. The FA Trophy run included wins over Conference teams Farnborough Town and Telford United, in the two-legged semi-final, before losing 3-2 in an exciting final at Villa Park against Hednesford United. After a fine run in the FA Cup the team was narrowly beaten at home 3-2 by Third Division neighbours Southend United, after a 1-1 draw at Roots Hall. Canvey’s first season in the Conference they finished in 18th position in the League table, achieving their initial aim of consolidation. The season started well with a draw at Carlisle United, in front of a 7,000 crowd, on the opening day and just one defeat in the first seven

games, against the eventual champions Barnet. After this the Club lost some key players through injury for several months and struggled in the middle part of the season but came back strongly at the end to seal their status for a second season. The following season saw the club achieve it’s highest ever league position, as they earned a respectable 14th place. However, the lack of success compared to previous seasons had taken its toll on the attendances, so much so that Jeff King made the decision to withdraw his financial and footballing interests from the club. However, the supporters of the club rallied together to allow the team to continue playing the following year in the Ryman League Division 1 North. John Batch take over as manager for the 2006/07 campaign, with his reserve side from the previous season making up the bulk of the squad. A learning curve for all concerned very nearly ended up in promotion, though The Gulls narrowly missed out on a playoff place, finishing 6th on the last day of the season.
Canvey went one better the following season, gaining promotion to the Ryman Premier League through the Playoffs. A run of 5 wins from our final 6 games earned us a place in the playoffs, and after beating AFC Sudbury away 3-2 after extra time, The Gulls travelled to Redbridge for the final. After the match finished 1-1 after extra time, Canvey won a nailbiting penalty shootout 5-4 to earn promotion. During this season, Canvey also knocked out Ryman Premier League side Maidstone United from the FA Trophy, and reached the final of the Essex Thameside Trophy.
The 2008/09 season saw The Gulls return to the Ryman Premier League after an absence of 4 years. After being in and around the playoff positions for the majority of the season, Canvey eventually finished in a credible 12th position, completing a memorable double over rivals Billericay Town in the process (4-0 at home, 4-2 away). The following season was a disappointment in comparison, with Canvey in and around the playoffs at Christmas only to fall away and finish 16th come the end of the season, a place which they consolidated the following year.
The 2010/11 season was a vast improvement, and a superb second half of the season saw Canvey finish in 6th position, missing out on the playoff places on goal difference.
Manager John Batch stood down in January 2012, with the club lying in 10th place in the Ryman Premier League. Then first team coach Glen Alzapiedi took over as manager, with Batch remaining with the club in his role as a Director.
InApril 2012 The Gulls won the Essex Senior Cup for the first time in a decade with a 1-0 victory against League One side Colchester United at Thurrock FC's Ship Lane. Having defeated another Football League side, Dagenham & Redbridge, on penalties in the semi- finals, a headed goal from Rob King with 7 minutes to play won Canvey the cup without having conceded a goal throughout the competition.
Alzapiedi left the club in July 2012 and was replaced by former-Canvey captain Steve Tilson, who 5 years previously was managing in the Championship with Southend United.
Another managerial change came at the end of the 2012/13 when Tilson and his assistant Craig Davidson were released by the club, with centre forward Danny Heale taking the job - his first managerial role in senior football.

After staying up on the last day of the season in 2015. Canvey were relegated on the same day of the following season for the first time due to league position in 19 years.
The club's first season in the Bostik North nearly ended in an immediate return, reaching the playoff final but losing 3-1 away to Haringey Borough.
The Gulls picked up their first piece of silverware in six years ahead of the 2018/19 season, beating reigning Bostik North champions AFC Hornchurch 2-1 to win the Isthmian Charity Shield.
Former-Southend United and Gillingham played Mark Bentley took over as manager in October 2018, with Danny Heale staying involved with the club by taking up the role of Director of Football.

By Matt Badcock NON-LEAGUE DAY celebrates its tenth edi�on today – a simple idea from founder James Doe has mushroomed into an established part of the calendar.
James – a QPR fan – came up with the concept when he visited Tavistock Town in a pre-season game in 2010 and that led to him visi�ng local club Harrow Borough.
So each season during an interna�onal break, NLD encourages fans down to their local team. From there it has grown and grown. In the build-up to this weekend, Premier League clubs were twee�ng about their local clubs and Prostate Cancer UK and Kick It Out con�nue to show their support each year.
Perhaps you’re reading this today at your first Non-League game – we’re sure you will enjoy the experience.
Many clubs have benefited from the extra publicity and media spotlight the day brings and that is something to be welcomed. It’s not easy when the game at the highest level is everywhere. Finding column inches or air �me o�en needs an angle and NLD is just that. Of course, we can trot out many clichés about Non-League football. The players don’t dive – some do – that clubs are more welcoming – most are – and you can speak to the players in the bar a�er the game. And it’s affordable!
Non-League football will mean different things to different people but there’s no doub�ng it is at the heart of the game in this country.
Where else would four-figure crowds watch a game in the eighth �er? Some�mes even lower. Non-League football is to be celebrated and treasured. But we shouldn’t be blind to the fact a number of clubs are struggling to make ends meet. That ge�ng through the season is an achievement. Costs are high and it is hard to compete. For those that have the resources, there are more that don’t.
A par�cular issue facing these levels is volunteering. There aren’t enough of them! Giving up your �me can be a rewarding experience and the more savvy clubs are making be�er use of people’s skills. Look around you in the crowd today, there are people from all backgrounds, industries and trades. Look at yourself, you will have skills that are invaluable to a Non-League club even if you don’t realise it.
It doesn’t have to be all the hours under the sun. Just pu�ng up posters to adver�se games or delivering leaflets in the local area can make a big difference. And that all makes for a healthy, thriving Non-League.
Enjoy the day!
