We’re all very much looking forward to an enjoyable game. A big welcome to everyone who has travelled up from North-East Lincolnshire. Cleethorpes won the NCEL Division One title last season and have made an excellent start to life in the NCEL Premier where they currently lie in ninth place. Their striker Marc Cooper has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season, and they come here tonight full of confidence after an excellent 6-2 win away to Pickering Town on Saturday. We know we’ll have our work cut out this evening, but we’ll be doing all we can to maintain our seven point lead at the top of the table. A big thank you to all the fans who travelled to St Helen’s on Saturday to cheer us on to victory in the FA Vase. It was an excellent result and we are now just four wins away from a trip to Wembley! The fourth round draw was made yesterday and we will face Brocton FC from the Midland Football League Premier at home on Saturday 17th January. It is sure to be another fantastic game and we’d love nothing more than to equal our club record of making it into the fifth round, which has stood since 1977-78. Tonight’s game is our 20th league game of the season, which means we are already half-way through the SMOCK TOP league’s season. If we win tonight we will go 10 points clear at the top and we will finish the first half of the season on an incredible 52 points. At the same point last season, we had just 41 points, so this is a great • 100% Polyester Taslan for Maximum Protection from the Elements example of just how far we’ve come.
