THE CITIZENS POST FROM THE BOARDROOM Good Afternoon All, Welcome to the Simplyhealth City Ground for today’s Emirates FA Challenge Cup Third Qualifying Round fixture between Winchester City FC and Cirencester Town FC. We would like to welcome the players, officials and supporters that have made the journey from Cirencester and we hope you enjoy your afternoon with us. In the event of today’s game being a draw, it will go to a replay, which will then take place at Cirencester on Tuesday 9nd October. Tuesday was a difficult day for everyone associated with WCFC. We received the devastating news in the morning that our Life Vice President, Terry Bone, sadly passed away. Terry has been involved in the club in various capacities as well as being a dedicated supporter and he was a friendly face as well as a knowledgeable and supportive friend to us all. The club also sadly lost another one of its loyal followers, Tina Elkins, on Saturday 22nd September. Another who gave so much to the club and will never be forgotten. The club held a minute’s silence for Tina before the FA Trophy game on Tuesday night and we will be doing the same for Terry prior to today’s game. Tuesday night was, understandably so, a difficult night for all at the Simplyhealth City Ground.

    File: BMD David Palmer Duration: 1:00:56 Date: 04/08/2016 Typist: 685 START AUDIO David Palmer: David Palmer, I am 67 and it happens to be my birthday today so I go back quite a lot of years following football in Stevenage. My earliest memory is when I was probably around 10 years old my dad taking to me to the old football ground which was close to the present day station. I can remember that ground really clearly. It had a little wooden main stand which seated about 80 or 100 people and a small stand opposite with the words ‘Supporters Club’ written over the top of it. I used to watch them playing some pretty obscure sides from a very low level. It was called the Delphian League, which was a totally amateur level. I used to sometimes go to away matches at places like Ware, Bishops Stortford, Tufnell Park seems to come to mind, Hornchurch and Hertford. They were my earliest memories. I watched Stevenage struggling mainly, they were never very successful and we were always in the shadow of Hitchin. We usually used to play Hitchin more or less once a season usually in the Herts Senior Cup. They always used to slaughter us somewhere around 7-1 on average. I have a feeling that the great Paul Fairclough the first match that he took in charge of us was also at Hitchin and we also got hammered. Then things obviously took a massive turn for the better. Stevenage Town struggled for a long time and then sadly after they had gone into the Southern League and had turned professional they probably grew a little bit too quickly and sadly 1 the club went out of business.
