Good Afternoon and welcome to all players, staff, officials and supporters of Fairford Town FC and a warm welcome to Jody, Reidy and Rands who are the management team here and all people I respect highly in the game. These three have done a great job in transforming Fairford following their bad start and I can only see them continuing to climb the table.

Following last Saturdays win we find ourselves in a good run of form at the moment having not lost in any competition for two months (defeat at Bitton 15th September) and in the League since Bank Holiday Monday when we lost 1-0 to Longlevens but like I keep reminding the lads the hard work will come over the next few months but the momentum we are building is good.

During this run the pleasing thing is everyone is contributing with 10 different goal scorers in that time which is certainly something that has helped us.

Joe Bates is back at the club following the suspension to Slacky, the injury and unavailability of Brad Martin and the fact that our very own Elliot Kennedy is getting married I had to strengthen and Joe adds quality to us.

We have a difficult run of games between now and the New Year and every point will count but we know we will have to perform to the best our ability every week to keep progressing and hopefully keep climbing that table.

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 the Football Association, 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.

It is now almost three years to the day since, on a cold and wet Saturday afternoon at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium, Jamie Vardy latched onto a Christian Fuchs through-ball before slotting a powerful low drive past Manchester United’s David de Gea. The significance of the goal, which saw Vardy break Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of scoring in ten consecutive Premier League matches, was clear evidence of a footballer at the height of his powers. Vardy’s rise from such humble Non-League beginnings to the bright lights of the Premier League has been well documented. From Stocksbridge Park Steels, via FC Halifax and Fleetwood Town - England recognition would follow off the back of his blazing run with Leicester City. Here was the ‘poster boy’ for what Non-League football could deliver. So much so, in fact, that scouts up and down the country are now looking for that next gem; a player with a price tag that wouldn’t even be picked up on most Premier League clubs’ balance sheets. But while the new wave of Non-League stars continue to take their places in the higher leagues and beyond – former Kettering striker Calum Wilson’s call-up to the England squad being the latest example of such – the lack of managers being given their chance remains a cause of major frustration. Scratch the surface and you can see some reasoning: if a club purchases a player for such a nominal fee - even the £1 million Leicester City paid Fleetwood Town for Vardy’s services in 2012 - there is so much to gain and so little to lose. But taking a manager from the lower leagues, who is expected to make a team gel and manage players’ egos, well that’s a different challenge. And, where such appointments are concerned, chairmen and board members don’t want any egg on their faces. That said, if Football League clubs could have a window into the work and lives of many Non-League managers, they would see so many astute footballing brains that are complemented with the key ingredient needed for success: hard work. Yet still our managers are being ignored, and if they are given a chance, it is invariably with a club that is swimming against the tide. Paul Hurst’s recent ill-fated stint at Ipswich is a case in point. Despite a playing career where he chalked up to close to 500 games in the Football League with Rotherham United, Hurst cut his teeth in management in the lower leagues, working alongside Rob Scott at Ilkeston, Boston and Grimsby before taking the job with the Mariners on a full-time basis. He then moved to Shrewsbury before Ipswich came calling last May. With one of the lowest budgets in the Championship in a division that has become, pound for pound, arguably the toughest in Europe, the task at Portman Road was never going to be an easy one. It proved beyond Hurst, and now instead of celebrating the talents of a man who has gone from the Conference to the Championship in the space of two years, we are left scratching our heads as to when the next bright light from Non-League will be given the chance to shine. Managers deserve greater support and patience to progress their careers. Non-League football has been recognised as the perfect breeding ground for players who develop the right attitudes for the task ahead, but those players are learning from some of the game’s most aspiring young managers. Like Vardy, there are some golden nuggets out there…

Formed in 1891, Fairford Town Football Club is a forward-thinking community club with a proud history, having recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. The Reds are one of the longest-serving members of the Hellenic Premier Division.

Here are a few facts about the club that you may or may not be aware of – and we look forward to welcoming you to Cinder Lane, perhaps for the return fixture or to take in a game soon.

With Wolfgang Wolf long gone from Wolfsburg and the Arsène at Arsenal era having ended in the summer, there's been a vacancy in football's nominative determinism ranks – so the news that a defender by the name of Bradley Stokes has signed for Bradley Stoke Town was warmly welcomed this week. When Tony Adams said, "Play for the name on the front of the shirt and they'll remember the name on the back", this probably wasn't what he had in mind. Portland Timbers couldn't be separated from their rivals Seattle Sounders after 2-1 home wins in both legs of the MLS Western Conference semi-finals, but with the teams having scored a goal apiece in extra time at Seattle's CenturyLink Field, the Timbers sank to their knees in celebration at the final whistle – until those team-mates who had been paying more attention to the pre-match briefing let them know that away goals weren't counting double in extra time, and it was about to go to penalties. They won, so blushes saved

Non-League stadiums offer vision of football's future as well as past

While non-League stadiums can regularly offer a throwback to football’s less corporate days, they are also a testing ground for the game’s innovations

5 November ~ As well as drawing attention to the world of football that exists beyond the Premier League and the EFL, one of the virtues of Non League Day, which will take place on October 13, is that it throws a spotlight on non-League football grounds. These invariably followed the same template as their Premier League and Football League peers, albeit on a miniaturised scale, before the advent of all-seat stadiums. The main difference was one of perception, which largely was due to the lack of coverage given to non-League football. Turn up at a night match at Southern League Chelmsford City’s New Writtle Street ground in the 1970s and 1980s, and an instantly recognisable picture came into view. Under the blaze of towering floodlights, you were presented with the traditional vista of concrete terracing, sizeable grandstand and cavernous covered enclosure. At Worcester City’s St George’s Lane, you would find woven into the local landscape a venue still basking in the glow of the club’s famous FA Cup win against Liverpool in 1959, while anyone admiring the plentiful terracing at Nuneaton Borough’s Manor Park would nevertheless wonder at how a crowd of 22,114 managed to squeeze in for the FA Cup third round tie against Rotherham United in 1967. There were dozens of grounds like these up and down the land, repositories of history, and every bit as interesting and characterful as their more famous Football League counterparts. Wind the clock on to 2018 however and the two worlds no longer align so readily. Though there has been some blurring due to the relegation of several long-standing League clubs into the National League, sharp differences have developed. Particularly in the Premier League, the option of spontaneously turning up for a game has disappeared. Tickets need to be bought days, and sometimes weeks, in advance, but at non- League level the opportunity to “walk up” at the last moment still applies. Furthermore, as the debate about introducing safe standing to the top two tiers of football rumbles on, standing up remains the default mode of watching football lower down, with little or no restrictions. Indeed, when FC United of Manchester were planning their new Broadhurst Park ground in 2015, emphasis was given to providing standing places, which resulted in the construction of a large paddock section in front of the grandstand and a tall covered terrace at one end. The freedom to roam around the ground, to stand with one’s friends or move away from somebody’s irritating antics, is one of non-League football’s best selling points. If not quite a theme park dedicated to life before the Taylor Report, a visit to a non-League ground can offer a temporary respite from the tightly controlled environment of top-flight stadiums. The only regret is that a significant number of classic grounds have perished or been downsized in recent years, with Ebbsfleet United’s Stonebridge Road, perhaps the country’s purest example of an untouched post-war venue, currently undergoing extensive modernisation works. Finally, no recent development has widened the chasm between the top four tiers and non-League football more than the drive towards 3G pitches. Though they are vastly superior to the bouncy green carpets that were installed at Loftus Road, Boundary Park, Deepdale and Kenilworth Road in the 1980s, there are still many that cling to the sanctity of grass and find the concept of artificial surfaces unpalatable. Nonetheless, the movement towards 3G pitches at all levels below the top 92 clubs is now inexorable. Such surfaces are currently being employed by National League sides Bromley, Harrogate Town, Maidstone United and Sutton United, while in the feeder divisions and below, the number of 3G pitches is increasing exponentially. Though they can never match the finest grass pitches – thereby dispensing with football staples such as the splatter of mud and the visceral thrill of a sliding tackle – matches on 3G pitches are rarely postponed and, due to their durability, are able to be used several times a week. For clubs searching for a regular revenue stream, 3G pitches are therefore a godsend, and despite costing around £600,000 to install, because of their community value hefty grants are often accessible. Any Premier League or EFL devotee visiting a 3G venue on Non League Day could well be staring into the future. Vince Taylor
