For more details, please ask behind the bar or contact admin@ dealtownfc. co.uk Deal Town Football Club (2001) Ltd The Charles Ground, St Leonards Rd, Deal, Kent CT14 9AU Tel: 01304375623 Email: [email protected] Chairman: Dave Chmura Secretary: Fiona Richards Treasurer: Danielle Johnson Fixtures Secretary: Colin Adams Business & Development Director: Marian Scally Press Director: Kevin Redsull Stadium Director: Wayne Short Catering Director: Muriel Skirrow Hospitality Director: Neil Creasey Good Evening everyone We would like to extend a warm welcome to the Players, Officials and Supporters of Corinthian Football Club to the Charles Ground for tonight’s Emirates FA Cup Extra Prelim Round replay, we hope they enjoy their visit and have a safe journey home. On Saturday we fought out a 2-2 draw, on paper a decent result, but we were 2-0 up within the first quarter of an hour. Quick goals from Joe Reeves and Ryan Philpott made it look like we would break our 25 year hoodoo of not winning our opening game of the season away from home, but not to be. The downside to the result was the sending off of both Reeves and Charlie Walsh which means they will both miss our game this coming Saturday against Crowborough, and also at least the following game. If the scores are level tonight after 90 mins there will be extra time, and if still level a penalty shoot-out. The winners of tonight’s game will be at home to Glebe in the next round who saw off Lordswood 1-0 on Saturday. We haven’t a very good record against Corinthian here at the Charles Ground, losing 7 of our last 8 games, we must be due for a victory tonight. As mentioned we are at Crowborough on Saturday, they are playing at the Gallagher Stadium Maidstone this season. Then a week tonight we play hosts to Sheppey United. Enjoy the game. Deal Town Football Club (2001) Ltd is a Private Ltd Company incorporated in England & Wales with Company No. 4214651 The oldest cup competition in the world. The pinnacle of the domestic season. The FA Cup. Despite what the detractors say, those with dreams of something bigger, there is still magic in the cup. The competition is 146 years old this year. 146 years! That is slightly younger than the Fire Brigade, slightly older than the telephone, or the light bulb. It's about the same age as Germany. The FA Cup was founded in 1871 as a prize for the 50 member clubs of the Football Association to compete for. Only 15 took up the offer, the most famous of whom, Wanderers, would go on to win the very first final, at the Oval in front of a crowd of 2000 people. They had made it through the semi-final as fancied Queen’s Park had been forced to withdraw from a replay, and defeated Royal Engineers to lift the trophy. Clapham Rovers’ Jarvis Kenrick had the honour of scoring the very first FA Cup goal, while Morton Betts scored the last goal that season, the winner in the final, to go down in history. Wanderers would go on to win 6 of the first 9 competitions. Kenrick transferred to Wanderers and scored in the 1877 final and two in the 1888 final as they retained the title three times. The FA Cup is the constant ever-present in a game constantly trying to reinvent itself. Maybe the magic has been lost somewhere, there are no Jarvis Kenricks to write themselves into folklore for winning the trophy. Jesse Lingard may have ended Man Utd’s trophy drought in May, but his manager still got sacked, and the immediate questions were about his Champions League potential. For Man Utd, the FA Cup isn't magic, it's a distraction. Even for Crystal Palace, it's painful to have lost but it wouldn't have defined their immediate future. Well, no more than finishing mid-table in the league, at any rate. But when the magic does shine through, it often flies in the face of the detractors. Who could forget the outcry that the 2013 final would be held before the end of the season? An abomination to those who love the grand old competition, further reduction of its importance in a world of mega TV deals and four supposed ‘champions’ in Europe’s elite competition. And the cup responded with its biggest shock for a quarter of a century, as little Wigan with their tiny attendances and who would be relegated the following week, won their first ever major trophy against the oil-rich superstars of Manchester City. Just as the competition seemed at its most vulnerable, it conjured up a match to embody its enchanted spirit, and we all remembered just why we love it. But it's more tangible the lower down the league you go. The magic is still very real, very possible. If you paid attention, you could see it just last season. Exeter heading to the home of European giants Liverpool in the Third Round that is where the magic lies. Carlisle hosting Everton. Oxford beating Swansea. The terraces so packed you can barely breathe, the hope and expectation seared into the faces of an entire town or village, as the big boys come to play. In the immortal words of Paul Daniels, that's magic. But even further than that. Sporting Khalsa went six rounds in the 2015/16 edition, beginning in the Extra-Preliminary Round and just missing out on a tie against a league side. Didcot Town came in a stage later, and made it into the First Round, losing to the Exeter side that carried the magic to Anfield. Northwich Victoria went one better, starting in the Preliminary Round and reaching the Second Round Proper. They suffered the heartbreak of a late winner from Northampton. Try telling these teams that the cup has lost its magic. Try telling them that it doesn't mean anything anymore. And what about the players? Jarvis Kenrick may have been the first FA Cup hero, but what of the lower league journeymen who are just like you and me during the week, but for whom one perfect moment could launch them to national acclaim. Over 10,000 players could take part this season's FA Cup. Which of them is going to be the next Roy Essandoh, who answered an ad in the paper to play for Wycombe Wanderers, a week before knocking out Leicester City? Or Mark Bryant, who when Yeovil were playing in the 8th tier, put out ‘Bank of England’ Sunderland, the Man City of their day? Or Matt Hanlan or Tony Rains, who helped Sutton Utd to put holders Coventry City out? Who will be this year’s Ronnie Radford? All it takes a single goal to remind us of just how special the cup is. Whether it be to national attention like Ronnie Radford’s launching the career of John Motson in the process, or just a curiosity that a few will cherish in their memories like Holbeach United goalkeeper Ricky Drury’s overhead kick in the final minute against Worcester City, three divisions above them (seriously, find it on YouTube), the FA Cup gives every single player the chance to be a hero for a day. What isn't magical about that? Think about all of that and then ask yourself again: is the magic of the cup really in danger of running out? Our view: not likely. Welcome everybody to our first home fixture of season 2017-2018 a FA Cup replay after a "game that had everything" you could put into one match. I don't normally talk about games as I leave that to those who know what they are talking about (Derek and Kingy) but just this once let me tell you about Saturday's cup game at Gay Dawn Meadow. Deal's first 45 minutes were a joy to watch and possibly stunned Corinthian who were rocked by some excellent football and two goals that will take a lot of beating in their execution with Ryan Philpott heavily involved in both. An immaculate through ball found Ryan free on the right wing and his inch perfect cross was met first time by Joe Reeves who gave the keeper no chance. The second goal came soon afterwards when Philpott volleyed home a Steve Butcher cross that looked to be out of his reach as he raced into the box. Well they were the best bits for a well prepared Deal side played on a surface fit for the Premier league. Corinthian came back within sixty seconds of the restart and then equalized with a 30 yard strike you can only dream of hitting from their captain Ryan Sawyer. A missed penalty, three sending offs and a haul of yellow cards only added to a cracking game of high and drama and only another nine months of this new season to go! Off the field I hope you like the refreshed look to the ground with lots of tweaks here and there. John Humphries is still only half way round his very own "Forth Bridge" where the painting never ends, Dave Dadd has a new broom and the changing rooms prove its use.

Last Tuesday we played Farnborough and with a good overall performance the second half saw us secure 2 goals giving us a 2-1 win giving us a well-earned 3 points. Our man of the match was Aidan Shepherd who was our double goal scorer. Well done Aidan! So hopefully the boys can turn in a good performance again as they did for that game.

  • The Community Impact of Football Pitches: a Case Study of Maidstone United FC
    The community impact of football pitches: a case study of Maidstone United FC Anthony May & Daniel Parnell ABSTRACT The use of third-generation artificial grass pitches (AGPs) is growing in English semi-professional football. As usage grows, research into the impact of AGPs is needed, in order to examine the potential impact of such surfaces for a football club and local community. This article analyses the experiences of National League South club Maidstone United through a detailed case study. The club have installed an AGP at their stadium and are able to utilize it for up to 80 hours a week. All the club’s 45 teams are able to train and play on the AGP, and other local sport clubs have hired it, arguably increasing Public Health opportunities. This means that youth teams, first team club players and community participants alike have access to a high-quality playing surface. This has raised the club’s profile in the local community and increased income generation, supporting the financial sustainability of the club. Introduction The use of third generation Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) for competitive football matches and training has become increasingly common over the last decade. This is particularly the case in Western Europe and Scandinavia, where pitches can be adversely affected by weather conditions and regular use (up to three matches per week) and clubs have looked for an alternative to natural surfaces. Football clubs have chosen to install AGPs at their training facilities and stadia because they are durable and usable in extreme meteorological conditions, as discussed by Andersson, Ekblom, and Krustrup (2008), Bjorneboe, Bahr, and Andersen (2010) and Almutawa et al.

    Getting To Football 2021-22 August 2021 Edition Andy Edwards Andy Edwards 17 Catherine Street Rochester Kent ME1 2HJ [email protected] Most of the content of this work is in the public domain. The remainder of the content, and the presentation of the information, is © Andy Edwards 2021. The cover image is © Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum 2019. Introduction Welcome back to Getting To Football! When I put out the last edition in March 2020, little did I know that it would be almost eighteen months before the next edition. As I write, there is reasonable confidence that football will be almost back to nornal in the 2021-22 season, although it certainly cannot be ruled out that this may change – and if there’s going to be a game, it remains the job of Getting To Football to get you there! For various reasons – mostly related either to procrastination or to cricket - this edition has been prepared with a shorter lead time than usual. This means that not all of the usual content is present; this edition covers only football in England from the Premier League down to Step 6, the top two levels of football in Northern Ireland, the top five levels in Scotland, and the top two levels in Wales. The lower levels in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will return in the October edition together with hockey and rugby union. Football in Ireland, Gaelic football, hurling, rugby league, and shinty play summer seasons and will return in good time for their 2022 seasons. In another minor change for this edition, I’ve turned the font size up a bit.

  • Season 2012/13 No.3 20Th August 2012 in This Issue…
    Weekly News & Match Bulletin – Season 2012/13 No.3 20th August 2012 One of the league’s new grounds, Three Bridges, is pictured as the home side and visitors Sittingbourne pay their respects to the late Ingram Whittingham on Saturday (picture courtesy of Ken Redwyn). In this issue… All Saturday’s action Forthcoming fixtures Farewell to two Friends All the Weekend Action By Peter Butcher – Ryman League Communications Administrator Premier HE SAYS it will be his last season, and Wealdstone striker Richard Jolly looks in the mood to go out in style. Last season’s Golden Boot winner struck after 26 minutes of his side’s home opener against Met Police, intercepting a scuffed goal-kick by Police keeper Jamie Butler and firing home what proved to be the only goal of the game to get Stones’ title challenge off to a successful start. Lowestoft, beaten play-off finalists for the last two seasons, came from a goal down at half-time to chalk up an impressive 3-1 win at Whitehawk. The Brighton side, making their Premier debut, took an early lead with a penalty from summer signing Scott McGleish, veteran of 692 Football League games. McGleish went close to doubling the lead with a header but the Trawlerboys showed their class with three goals in eight minutes midway through the second half. Chris Henderson twice fired home from outside the box with Dale Cockrill netting in between them. Fancied Margate were comfortable 2-0 home winners over Hendon. Two new signings, Sam Long and Alex Rhodes, hit the bar in the early stages and it was the 65th minute before Richard Avery gave the hosts a deserved lead.

  • Herne Bay FC Supporters' Update 39 – 24/02/2020
    Herne Bay FC Supporters’ Update 39 – 24/02/2020 Week 39 which means it is nine months since the boardroom and management changes. Ben Smith told the Kentish Gazette: “If you had said at the start of the season we would be in the play-offs, I’m sure every single person at the club would have taken it. So, looking at the bigger picture - it’s hard when you are frustrated - but I think that’s certainly something myself and the rest of the club need to be doing. We have good characters in the changing room. Our average age is around 24 but, within that, there is an awful lot of experience. I have no questions about the character in the dressing room and one or two (bad) games doesn’t change the fact that I’m really proud of how far we have come this season.” Chris Saunders has joined SCEFL Hollands & Blair on dual registration. He was sent off (two yellow cards) on his debut, a 1-1- draw with Sheppey United. Tuesday 18/02/2020 Burgess Hill Town p/p Ramsgate Sevenoaks Town 1 Whitehawk p/p Chichester City Haywards Heath Town 2 Kent Senior Cup Quarter-Final Ashford United 1 Phoenix Sports 2 Three Bridges had just two wins and one draw from their last 10 league matches and this month they handed bottom side East Grinstead Town four of their season’s tally of 10 points. 13 places and 27 points behind Herne Bay, Bridges showed that they can be a dangerous team when they went 3-0 up at home to Bay in October only for the visitors to come back with five goals in the second half.
