Tonight, we welcome East Thurrock for a Pitching-In Isthmian Premier League game with both teams needing the 3 points to climb away from the bottom of the table. Our Visitors sit one point below us in 21st with 5 points from their first 9 games. We are coming off the back of a 4-2 away win against Aylesbury in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy, with new signing Norman Wabo and Noel Leighton each scoring a brace for the Gate. Our reward is a home tie against Burgess Hill Town, with the date TBC as the FA consider the impact of the new national lockdown. The Club were also delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Dominic Vose who joins Saunders from Kingstonian having previously played for Bromley, Whitehawk and Dulwich Hamlet. His registration was confirmed yesterday, and he is available for selection tonight. As we move into a unprecedented period for everyone we are awaiting further guidance from the Isthmian League and the FA as to what the schedule will look like for the remainder of the season. We hope to share this with you soon, but in the meantime let’s all get behind Jay and the players and enjoy the game tonight to the fullest, as it may be our last for a little while! #TimeForHeroes The Gate have a home draw in the next round of the FA Trophy.

I offer a warm welcome to our visitors from Reading and trust supporters, players and officials have had a trouble free journey over. I extend that welcome to our match day officials and again hope Messrs Bougouizi, Kelly & Kaya enjoy their very brief stay with us in The Great Park. It has been an excellent past few weeks. Seven wins on the bounce and plenty of goals. We've also managed to keep a number of clean sheets, which is as pleasing as the goals flying in. The challenge now is to forget the last seven matches and start again. We have to apply the same levels of intensity and commitment and see if we can do it all over! At time of going to print we have just found out that we have been drawn at home in the Quarter Final of the Berks & Bucks against the winners of the tie between Ascot United & MK Dons. We have attempted to keep you updated with the most recent round of fixture changes and these are noted in this issue. One sad piece of news is the passing of Jimmy Hartridge. One of the good guys, a local footballing talent, taken away too soon. Our thoughts and condolences are offered to Jimmy and his family. Enjoy the game Matt Page 1 – www.thamesmotorgroup.co.uk From the Bench October has been an exciting month - 6 wins on the spin with 5 of the victories coming away from home.

  • Macclesfield Town Football Club Return to the Non-League Scene Chapter
    MACCLESFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB RETURN TO THE NON-LEAGUE SCENE CHAPTER TWO Season 2013-2014 JOHN’S IN CHARGE BY GEOFFREY KNIGHTS OVERVIEW The appointment of John Askey as manager with Efe Sodje as his assistant was warmly welcomed by the fans. John, who has made more appearances for the Silkmen than any other player, is held in very high esteem by the supporters and officials. Efe Sodje, another legend having scored the Silkmen’s first Football League goal, is well respected and has the ability to gain sponsorship deals. As a management team they worked wonders on a restricted budget reaching the third round of the FA Cup, with the team completing the season in a mid-table position in the Skrill Premier League. It was a contrasting scene off the field of play with a difficult financial position to be managed, possible takeover moves said to be in the pipeline throughout the season, outstanding debts and the Registrar turning aside the club’s application to convert to a Community Interest Club, all leading to a feeling of uncertainty for everyone connected to the club. On the positive side, owner Amar Alkadhi invested a further £50,000 during the season and the Cheshire East Council came to the rescue when they purchased the freehold of the Moss Rose providing a cash injection which helped to reduce the outstanding debt. As always, the main purpose of this chapter is to record the achievements of the football team, but a summary of the major off-field events is also included to provide as fuller a picture as possible.
