Indeed over the years, it was only the 2009-2010 season that we found ourselves in the same division of the same league. We did a little better in the away match, winning by the only goal of the game courtesy of Byron Harrison. This season our opponents are doing well, currently sitting in 4th place, with 24 points from 14 games played. They have slipped a little recently, losing at home to Tooting & Mitcham last week and also to Chipstead. They have though won at Egham Town and 3-0 at home to Uxbridge. There’s no point in dwelling on it but we were well beaten overall last week at Northwood. We just didn’t seem to be at the races in the first half, which was disappointing after some decent results before that. Having conceded a third goal soon after the break we did final- ly get things going and can argue that we were unlucky with two efforts coming back off the woodwork, a “goal” ruled out by what must have been the tightest of margins, and a number of other efforts that went close. Hopefully, there will be a desire to redress the balance today, especially as we often tend to play better against the top teams and Wal- tham certainly come into that category at the moment. Prior to that we beat Horley Town in the Surrey Senior Cup to give ourselves a home match against Chipstead in the next round. Horley were unimpressive on the night and our win by 4 goals to 1 meant they got off fairly lightly, considering all the pressure. This is now the most senior cup competition left for us this season. Before that we are also at home again on Tuesday when FC Romania are the visitors, for a 7.45 p.m. kick-off. We know little about them except that they won promotion at the last minute as the club in Step 5 (Essex Senior League) with the best points per game record who hadn’t been pro- moted as a matter of course, following the closure of a Barnsley based club, Shaw Lane Aquaforce as this is how it works. In the process Fleet Town were moved over to the Southern League at the last minute and this really is something the FA need to think about as it can’t be right to suddenly move clubs AFTER the initial allocations have been an- nounced. Surely any adjustments required after that should be done at a more local level. Well done to the Ladies who, having beaten Whyteleafe in the Isthmian Ladies Cup, will now entertain Margate in the next round on a date to be decided. Ladies (all ladies) we need you here on Friday 30 November for our latest Hen Night. There is a big poster up in the clubhouse and the artists shown are the ones who will actu- ally be appearing! Tickets (£10) are available behind the bar now or let Sally know.

Both clubs gained numerous honours in the Northern Suburban League. The club was founded in 1944 with a mix of players from Waltham Abbey Youth Club and former juniors from Tottenham Hotspur un- der the leadership of the trainer and manager Wally Hickman. The secretary was Mo (Maurice) Ward. The President was Capt. Lar- kin. In their early years they played to a high standard and reached the final of the Herts Junior Cup in three years out of four but lost on each occasion – including a loss to Redbourn Rovers of 4–5 after they had been leading 4–1. Some of the leading players in the early years included left winger Dave Cook who was killed in a road crash, centre-half Robbo Rob- inson and inside forward Frank Blower. Frank later became a dedi- cated treasurer of the club with Ray Buck as a similarly dedicated club secretary. Waltham Abbey United emerged in the late sixties and a new club- house was built. In 1974 the club amalgamated with the successful Beechfield Sports and joined the Metropolitan League, which later became the London Spartan League. In 1976 the club won the Essex Junior Cup and later that summer dropped the Beechfield Sports tag on the advice of The FA. Two years later the club reached the final of the Essex Intermediate Cup and won the league’s Division One title, and, having gained Senior Status, were promoted. In their first season they won the title without losing a game . 6 For all the latest club news, visit our website at www.ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com and were again promoted this time to the Premier Division where they remained until season 2000–01. Season 2001–02 was spent in the Essex & Herts Border Combi- nation to allow them to move across the pyramid. They were elect- ed to the Essex Senior League for season 2002–03. In 2004–05, in addition to winning both the League Cup and the Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy they finished in their highest position of 3rd. In 1990–91 the club were inaugural finalists in the Roy Bailey Memorial Trophy, a competition for local teams including Chesh- unt, Ware, and Hertford Town. It was won for the first time in 1994–95 when they beat Hoddesdon Town. In both 1996–97 and 2005 (in the final held over from the previous season) they beat St Margaretsbury. In 1998–99 they won the London Senior Cup with a fine 3–2 win over Bedfont at Dulwich Hamlet’s ground, and they also secured the Spartan South Midlands Challenge Trophy. Recent seasons have seen a lot of changes on and off the pitch with floodlights being installed in 1990 and the ground levelled. A great amount of work has been done around the clubhouse and a 200-seater stand built.

    File: BMD Tony Reeve and Philip Coates Duration: 0:42:38 Date: 05/08/2016 Typist: 685 START AUDIO Tony Reeve: My name is Tony Reeve, I am 63 years old and I have supported them since 1960 or 1961. Philip Coates: My name is Philip Coates, I am 64 and like Tony I have been supporting them since 1961 or 1962. Interviewer: What made you start supporting Stevenage? Tony Reeve: I have always liked football as a boy. My father brought me the first time in the ‘60s and I just caught the bug from there and carried on watching them. Philip Coates: I think roughly the same. My dad brought me along to the first few matches and as I lived in Stevenage I thought, “I will support Stevenage.” Like Tony I like watching football, it was in me to watch it. Tony Reeve: We both live behind the stand here really, so we are both local. 1 Philip Coates: We are very local. Tony Reeve: It is a five minute walk to the ground. Interviewer: So you have seen the ground change over the years then. Philip Coates: Oh yes. Tony Reeve: Well in the early days it was covered with stones when they first made it and they asked for volunteers to come and pick stones from the pitch. Every game they had there used to be players with blood pouring from their legs because of the stones really. Today you wouldn’t believe that was the same pitch, you just can’t believe it. Philip Coates: The pitch now is like a billiard table, but years ago when it rained the water wouldn’t drain away at all.

Here we are in mid-February and this is our second encounter of the season which is taking place just 7 days after the away version as a result of the recent weather. That game was not one of our better ones and we went down by the only goal of a very disappointing game to a club under new management for several times this season. Recent weather has not been too kind but last Saturday we did manage to get a game played at table=topper Ware on their excellent artificial surface and we came away with a point following a spirited showing as just reward. Unfortunately, Alex Salmon picked up another injury and must be considered doubtful for tonight’s game but on the positive side he was replaced by Chris Ovenden who managed to carry on through to the end and is now looking well on the road to recovery himself.

    File: BMD Geoff Gibbs.mp3 Duration: 0:27:02 Date: 02/08/2016 Typist: 676 START AUDIO Interviewer: Okay. Can I ask your name please? Geoff Gibbs: My name is Geoff Gibbs. Interviewer: Okay. What's your association with Stevenage Football Club? Geoff Gibbs: Originally I was just an ordinary supporter like everybody else. Over the last five to eight years I was, firstly, Communications Officer for the Supporter's Association and more recently I'm Secretary of the Supporter's Association. With my team of other committee members, we're responsible for trying to get the numbers of supporters who are part of the association up to almost 1,000 people. Interviewer: Okay. How are you doing at the moment with that? Geoff Gibbs: In terms of the numbers, we've got 722. We had 909 last year, but because we've had very lucrative and very popular FA Cup runs around Christmas and January time, that's when we get a few people coming in to join the Supporter's Association. To be honest, it makes sense if you're part of the association from day one, really from the preseason friendlies, because what you can get is a discount off any shop stock or certain suppliers in Stevenage and the surrounding areas. For instance, I've got to go to see a solicitor on Friday and I've got 10% off my legal bills. One thing like that pays for the membership for a year. Interviewer: Fantastic. That sounds a good deal. It sounds like it's support as well as the club, it seems to be a reciprocal arrangement with supporting local business.

I wish a very warm welcome to our visitors this afternoon and of course to the match officials Messrs. Michael Robertson-Tant, Dumitru-Gheorghe Vasile and Dion Thorpe. I hope you find our hospitality meets expectations. Our last home fixture brought about some very unsavoury incidents and I truly hope we never see such like again. That said, we were really disappointed to come away with a point following the 3-3 draw after being 3-0 to the good with half an hour to play. Credit to Brentwood Town, who until the unsavoury incident, kept their calm and composure to come back and snatch a point. For sure it was two points lost as far as the Seasiders were concerned. Last week away at Histon it looked like the spoils would be shared until the 83rd minute when the hosts netted to record a 1-0 victory. The goal was a sucker punch considering how well we played. And so to this afternoon. Grays Athletic will pose a great threat to our ambitions to move away from the bottom half of the table. I am confident that if we continue to play as we have done of late we could surprise a few by taking three points. Let’s hope so. Did you enjoy the fireworks? What a great night of colourful entertainment enjoyed by more FROM THE CHAIRMAN THE FROM than 4000 spectators.
