John’s Jottings<br />

Welcome to Woodstock Park from The Club Secretary<br />

Hello everybody. This is a joint programme to cover both the <strong>Hythe</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong><br />

games. Welcome to Woodstock to the <strong>Hythe</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong> players, official <strong>and</strong><br />

supporters, our own supporters <strong>and</strong> todays officials. Special thanks to Sparshatts <strong>Sittingbourne</strong><br />

for sponsoring the <strong>Faversham</strong> game. Sparshatts are the local Mercedez Benz Truck <strong>and</strong> van<br />

supplier based on the Eurolink.<br />

We went down 5-3 to Walton Casuals at Merstham a couple of weeks ago <strong>and</strong> this result carried<br />

on with our usual sequence of Win, lose, Win, Lose etc, however without a “no decision”<br />

from the referee when Jack Steventon was fouled things could have been different!<br />

The last home match saw us play Peacehaven & Telscombe. Peacehaven have had a turbulent<br />

recent history. They were relegated from the Ryman Premier League last season <strong>and</strong> then their<br />

Chairman <strong>and</strong> benefactor passed away in mid season causing funding to be drastically reduced.<br />

They are now only able to pay their players minimal expenses. This has caused the majority of<br />

experienced players to leave for other clubs. Particularly in the first half our quality showed <strong>and</strong><br />

it looked like "men against boys". Certainly <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> should have had more than a 2-0 half<br />

time lead to show for their efforts. The second half was somewhat of a Ryan Burbridge show.<br />

The Peacehaven goalkeeper, who had a trial at <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> at the beginning of this season,<br />

was superb <strong>and</strong> was instrumental in keeping the score respectable. Peacehaven are a prime<br />

example of why clubs should not rely on one person to bankroll a club.<br />

New signing Adam Allen had an excellent debut. Adam Allen is Nick Davis's third signing in as<br />

many weeks in preparation for next season. The other two, Scott Whibley <strong>and</strong> Tom Carlse have<br />

already become supporters favourites <strong>and</strong> have certainly improved the team.<br />

The highlight of the Peacehaven match was probably when 16 years old Jake Embery came on<br />

for only his second substitute appearance <strong>and</strong> within seconds, <strong>and</strong> with his first touch of the<br />

game, blasted the ball into the Peacehaven net from a difficult angle. Jake is the son of <strong>Sittingbourne</strong>’s<br />

ex QPR Under 18 <strong>and</strong> Under 21 manager John Embery.<br />

Our last match saw us gain a good draw at Chipstead, a side that put 6 passed us here at<br />

Woodstock earlier in the season.<br />

Finally many congratulations to our under 18’s side for defeating Dover Athletic 4-2 at Homel<strong>and</strong>s<br />

to win the under 18 Kent Cup. More about<br />

this later on in the programme.<br />

HYTHE TOWN A BRIEF HISTORY<br />

<strong>Hythe</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football Club was formed in August 1910<br />

<strong>and</strong> started playing in the local junior leagues. After the<br />

First World War the club soon joined the Kent Amateur<br />

League with limited success. This continued until the<br />

1970's when the club won the league title three times in<br />

succession <strong>and</strong> won the Kent Junior Cup. <strong>Hythe</strong> were<br />

granted senior status <strong>and</strong> elected to the Kent League in<br />

1977, playing at the newly-acquired Reachfields, an old<br />

army training ground on the edge of the town’s firing<br />

ranges. The club were runners-up in the Kent League on<br />

three occasions but it was not until property developer<br />

Tony Walton took over <strong>Hythe</strong> <strong>Town</strong> in February 1988<br />

that things really started to happen.<br />

That summer saw the ground developed to Southern<br />

League st<strong>and</strong>ard with seats <strong>and</strong> a social club, with viewing<br />

balconies, above new dressing rooms. St<strong>and</strong>ing cover<br />

extended behind one goal <strong>and</strong> for the whole of the far<br />

side, <strong>and</strong> floodlights were installed. The ground capacity<br />

still remains at 3,000 with the majority under cover.<br />

<strong>Town</strong> won the Kent League title by 14 points <strong>and</strong> set a<br />

league record of 133 goals. The club gained promotion<br />

to the Southern League.<br />

The next season saw the club reach the FA Vase semifinals<br />

losing out to the eventual winners Yeading, winning<br />

the home leg 3-2 in front of the club’s record<br />

attendance of 2,147, but cruelly losing the second leg 2-<br />

0. They did win the Eastern Professional Floodlight Cup<br />

at their first attempt.<br />

In 1991/2 money was beginning to run out <strong>and</strong> the club<br />

was put into liquidation.<br />

Supporters rallied round <strong>and</strong> entered a scratch side, as<br />

<strong>Hythe</strong> United, into the following season’s Kent County<br />

League <strong>and</strong> negotiated continued use of Reachfields Stadium.<br />

After three seasons the club regained senior status<br />

<strong>and</strong> in 1995 were elected back into the Kent League<br />

where the club struggled for a number of seasons. In<br />

2001 <strong>Hythe</strong> dropped the “United” suffix, reverting to<br />

“<strong>Town</strong>” <strong>and</strong> in November 2002 appointed Paul Fisk as<br />

Manager. Paul Fisk stepped down at the end of the season<br />

due to the illness of his wife Pam <strong>and</strong> assistant,<br />

Scott Porter took over as manager for the 2009-10 season<br />

with the help of Clive Cook <strong>and</strong> Martin Ch<strong>and</strong>ler.<br />

The 2010/11 season was possibly the most successful in<br />

the history of the club, with Scott Porter <strong>and</strong> his management<br />

team, winning promotion to the Ryman League<br />

<strong>and</strong> negotiating their way through six rounds of the FA<br />

Cup, before losing in the first round away to League Two<br />

side Hereford United.<br />

The 2011/12 season saw the club defeat Dartford at<br />

Princes Park by a single goal to lift the Kent Senior Cup<br />

for the first time ever, beating Ebbsfleet utd <strong>and</strong> Dover<br />

Athletic on the way.<br />

Captain Dave Cook secured the Ryman South Golden<br />

Boot during season 2012/13 with a brilliant twentyseven<br />

league goals, the midfielder also being named in<br />

the Ryman South 'Team of the Year.' The season ended<br />

with the resignation of long-serving Chairman, Paul<br />

Markl<strong>and</strong> with John Dowsett taking over.<br />

Despite flirting with relegation for the first ever time<br />

during the 2013/14 season Manager Scott Porter, freshened<br />

up his squad one final time to produce a stunning<br />

run of results to end the season in eighth place but Porter<br />

resigned at the end of the season deciding that he<br />

had taken the club as far as he could.<br />

Former Ramsgate manager Tim Dixon took over as manager<br />

for the 2014/15 season. The campaign began with<br />

an attractive br<strong>and</strong> of football, but a n injury crisis hampered<br />

the progress of the new set-up. Key new signings<br />

<strong>and</strong> some much-improved form in the New Year comfortably<br />

saw off the threat of relegation, as the newly<br />

nicknamed ‘Cannons’ secured a record fifth consecutive<br />

season in the Ryman South.<br />

Sadly Dixon’s reign came to an end as the 2015/16 campaign<br />

began with a twelve game winless run, the Board<br />

of Directors appointing former Assistant Manager Clive<br />

Cook (who for a short time joint-managed the side with<br />

Tony Beckingham).<br />

Cook, with the support of Assistant Manager Mark Lane,<br />

has now overseen an impressive rebuilding process.


FAVERSHAM TOWN A BRIEF HISTORY<br />

The club's origins go back to 1884, <strong>and</strong> subsequently<br />

entered the Kent League in 1894. The club name<br />

however was not really consistent, <strong>and</strong> turned out<br />

as <strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong>, <strong>Faversham</strong> Invicta, <strong>Faversham</strong><br />

Services, <strong>Faversham</strong> Railway <strong>and</strong> <strong>Faversham</strong><br />

Rangers along with others, before being disb<strong>and</strong>ed<br />

a few years before the second world war.<br />

<strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong> reformed after the war, <strong>and</strong> entered<br />

the Kent League in 1947, <strong>and</strong> moved to their<br />

current home, Salters Lane in 1948. The club had a<br />

decent amateur side, but found the going tough<br />

against some of the professional Kent League<br />

clubs. Nevertheless, they won the Kent Amateur<br />

Cup in 1957 <strong>and</strong> 1959.<br />

With the Kent League folding in 1959, the club had<br />

spells in both the Aetolian <strong>and</strong> Greater London<br />

leagues. However, the revived Kent league was<br />

joined in 1968. Success soon followed, <strong>and</strong> they<br />

were Kent League champions in 1970 <strong>and</strong> 1971.<br />

The Kent Amateur Cup was won three years in a<br />

row, 1972, 1973 <strong>and</strong> 1974.<br />

After a brief flirtation in the Athenian League in the<br />

mid seventies, the club came home to the<br />

Kent League, winning the Kent Senior Trophy in<br />

1977, repeating this success the following season<br />

<strong>and</strong> being crowned Kent League champions for<br />

good measure in a remarkable "double".<br />

The Kent League was won yet again in 1990 season,<br />

but league form dipped in the 92/93 season<br />

<strong>and</strong> was to stay that way for several seasons. The<br />

team did manage to reach the final of the Kent<br />

League Challenge Cup in 2000, but things were in<br />

rapid decline. Matters reached crisis point in 2003,<br />

when the KCFA suspended the club for non payment<br />

of fines, with the club's operators blaming just<br />

about everyone for the mess except themselves.<br />

In the following months, the once proud Salters<br />

Lane was systematically wrecked by v<strong>and</strong>als.<br />

Meanwhile, the club trustees led by businessman<br />

Ray Leader, fought a desperate battle to heal a widening<br />

rift with the previous regime over the ownership<br />

of the club <strong>and</strong> ground.<br />

In a separate development, the <strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong><br />

Independent Supporters Club had been formed, <strong>and</strong><br />

quickly gained a membership of over 300 paid up<br />

members in the town. This was despite the fact the<br />

club had no team, no manager, <strong>and</strong> whose ground<br />

had been totally wrecked by v<strong>and</strong>als <strong>and</strong> resembled<br />

a bomb site! Perhaps the real turning point came<br />

when trustees <strong>and</strong> Independent Supporters committee<br />

members got together one evening <strong>and</strong> declared<br />

an alliance to get the club back on its feet. An<br />

interim club committee was formed, <strong>and</strong> the long<br />

road to recovery was started.<br />

The revival was slow, but things started to happen.<br />

The ownership dispute was finally settled, <strong>and</strong> access<br />

to the ground was obtained. Volunteer workers<br />

however were confronted with completely smashed<br />

<strong>and</strong> v<strong>and</strong>alised buildings, <strong>and</strong> grass that reached<br />

shoulder height in places on what had been the<br />

pitch. A massive clear up operation began, but it<br />

was back breaking work. Meanwhile, paperwork<br />

was put in order with a new club constitution written<br />

<strong>and</strong> agreed.<br />

The KCFA allowed the club to retain their coveted<br />

senior status, subject to several conditions. Local<br />

authority grants were applied for <strong>and</strong> secured, sponsorship<br />

deals were obtained, <strong>and</strong> the club embarked<br />

on a range of fund raising initiatives. Slowly but<br />

surely, Salters Lane emerged in its former glory,<br />

<strong>and</strong> then went even better with the erection of br<strong>and</strong><br />

new floodlights. The revival of club <strong>and</strong> ground from<br />

the jaws of death was nothing short of a miracle,<br />

with a story that would surely rival the efforts to revive<br />

both "The Valley" at Charlton, <strong>and</strong> Accrington<br />

Stanley F.C.<br />

The first season back in 05/06 was in the Kent<br />

County League, where the runners up spot was<br />

achieved. Having passed various ground inspections,<br />

promotion to the Kent League was obtained,<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong> had at last "come home".<br />

The Club returned to winning ways in season<br />

2009/10 doing the double winning the Kent Senior<br />

Trophy <strong>and</strong> being crowned Kent League Premier<br />

Division Champions.<br />

Season 2010/11 saw the Club compete in the Ryman<br />

League South for the first time finishing as top<br />

Kent club in eighth spot. The following season the<br />

Club consolidated its Ryman place <strong>and</strong> finished the<br />

season in 17 th spot.<br />

Season 2012/13 was the most successful in the<br />

Club’s history with a third place finish in the Ryman<br />

League South <strong>and</strong> a runners-up place in the play<br />

offs. Coupled with this the Club’s Under 18s were<br />

runners up in their division of the Ryman Youth<br />

League <strong>and</strong> put their names in the Club’s record<br />

books by reaching the second round proper of the<br />

FA Youth Cup.<br />

The 2014/15 Season saw <strong>Town</strong> make the play-offs<br />

again, this time losing out in the Semi-Final on penalties<br />

against eventually promoted Merstham. The<br />

Under 21s had one of their most successful seasons,<br />

winning the Kent Intermediate Cup.


From the Programme editor<br />

This a dual programme covering both the <strong>Hythe</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Faversham</strong> games—mainly as two home<br />

games in a row means that there just isn’t time to produce two completely different programmes.<br />

A huge thanks to Sparshatts of <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> for sponsoring the <strong>Faversham</strong> <strong>Town</strong> match. Sparshatts<br />

are the largest Mercedes Truck <strong>and</strong> van dealership in the South East <strong>and</strong> have a great range of vehicles<br />

for lease or for sale so if you are in the market for one then please visit them at Unit 10 Eurolink Industrial<br />

Centre, Eurolink, Castle Road, ME10 3RN, telephone 01795 479 571. They also supply <strong>and</strong> fit parts.<br />

The fight for who is to join our league next year from the Southern Counties East Football League is still<br />

not settled with the two main contenders, Holl<strong>and</strong>s & Blair <strong>and</strong> Greenwich Borough , fighting out a 0-0<br />

stalemate It was amazing to see that the crowd for that one at Holl<strong>and</strong>s & Blair (Rainham Mark) was just<br />

over 400. The teams that will be replaced include Peacehaven & Telscombe, <strong>and</strong> Whitstable <strong>Town</strong>, relegation<br />

being confirmed for them this week. The other team to be relegated will be either East Grinstead<br />

<strong>Town</strong>, Walton & Hersham or Chipstead with my money being on Walton & Hersham. Of course we cant<br />

always second guess the make up of our step 4 leagues next year but certainly having either Holl<strong>and</strong>s &<br />

Blair or Greenwich Borough in our league means that the chance of us having to go in the Ryman league<br />

Division 1 North section recedes slightly (as they are<br />

nearer to the Dartford crossing!)<br />

Congratulations to Folkestone Invicta for winning the<br />

Ryman Division 1 South championship with 5 games to<br />

go, an amazing achievement. It makes our two close<br />

games against them look even better.! I see that our old<br />

striker, Harry Smith, is still scoring for them, we of<br />

course want him to go to better things so that we can<br />

reap the benefit of our sell on clause that we put on the<br />

transfer! It’s just a shame that we lose we one of a few<br />

money spinning home games!<br />

I was very pleased to see that the reformation of the<br />

supporters club is getting off the ground. A supporters<br />

club for any team can help the committee <strong>and</strong> the club<br />

in general enormously, so if there is anything that any<br />

committee member can do to help then please let us<br />

know.<br />

Don’t forget the annual presentation event is being held<br />

after the last game of the season on Saturday 23rd<br />

<strong>April</strong>. Also don’t forget to vote for the players of the season,<br />

voting slips are available from Ken Medwyn.<br />

Finally I want to add my own congratulations to the under<br />

18’s for winning the U18’s Kent Cup by defeating<br />

Dover athletic. More on this later on in the programme.<br />

CAN YOU believe the season is on the final straight? Everyone says it every year but this one really has flown by.<br />

It doesn’t seem all that long ago a long summer had finally ended <strong>and</strong> the season was kicking 0ff.<br />

Now NLP Towers resembles a school maths lesson every Tuesday morning when we get back to our desks after two<br />

days recovering from getting the previous week’s paper out.<br />

It is abacuses <strong>and</strong> calculators at the ready as we work out who has games in h<strong>and</strong> over who, when are they playing<br />

<strong>and</strong>, most importantly, who can win their league at the weekend.<br />

In Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling’s recent column for The NLP, he spoke about making sure he’s fully up to speed<br />

with all permutations to ensure he doesn’t promote or relegate a team live on Soccer Saturday by mistake.<br />

Similarly, we want to make sure our photographers are at the right games to get those championship celebration pictures.<br />

Regular readers may have seen we’ve introduced a new feature towards the end of this season – The NLP’s <strong>Match</strong><br />

of the <strong>Day</strong>. It’s what it says on the tin really, but the idea is to highlight a different game each week at all Steps of the<br />

Pyramid.<br />

Our largest 600-plus word reports are usually for National League games, so adding this spread will give more clubs<br />

<strong>and</strong> their fans the chance to enjoy greater coverage with their sausage sarnie on a Sunday morning.<br />

That’s the beauty of this time of the season, all over the country we’re spoilt for big games with lots riding on them.<br />

At the time of writing, Folkestone Invicta are the first <strong>and</strong> only champions between Steps 1-4 so far. They won the<br />

Ryman Division One South at a canter <strong>and</strong> it won’t be long before others are popping the bubbly too.<br />

With that in mind, I went to AFC Sudbury last weekend for The NLP’s <strong>Match</strong> of the <strong>Day</strong> to see if they would be<br />

crowned Ryman Division One North champions.<br />

Jamie Godbold’s side did their bit with a 2-1 win against Wroxham but they needed other results to go their way <strong>and</strong><br />

nearest challengers Thurrock <strong>and</strong> Harlow <strong>Town</strong> didn’t slip up.<br />

So alas, I haven’t reported live on my first champions of the season just yet. But at least we had a photographer<br />

there just in case!<br />

TALKING of celebrations, make sure you get voting for our annual National Game Awards.<br />

Our postman is getting busier <strong>and</strong> the email inbox is filling up with fans across the country having their say on who<br />

should be at our ceremony in May.<br />

It always proves to be a great day as we recognise players, managers, teams <strong>and</strong> fans after a long, hard season.<br />

You can see all the categories on our website – thenonleaguefootballpaper.com – as well as voting details.<br />

The awards bash is back at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge this year. The last time was four years ago when Fleetwood<br />

<strong>Town</strong>’s Jamie Vardy won the player of the year prize. Wonder what happened to him...<br />

A big shout out to the San Jose Earthquakes U13 squad who toured the UK last week. Pictured above<br />

are the team after a 7-1 victory against <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> F.C. U13s at the University of Kent. The players<br />

from the UK enjoyed meeting their US counterparts in a game arranged by Global Image Sports.

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> 3 Peacehaven & Telscombe 0<br />

Att 95<br />

Saturday 26th March <strong>2016</strong><br />

Ryman League Div 1 South<br />

Walton Casuals 5 <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> 3 Att 61<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> started at a high tempo <strong>and</strong> for 20<br />

minutes tore Peacehaven apart.<br />

Peacehaven are clearly relegation favourites <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were on fire in this first quarter <strong>and</strong><br />

emerged from it with a 2-0 lead that more or less<br />

killed the game.<br />

After the impressive Allen got in a good early shot<br />

<strong>and</strong> skipper Tom Brunt had a 30-yarder saved, <strong>Sittingbourne</strong><br />

took a 12th minute lead. A Peacehaven<br />

defender deflected Steven Ita’s free-kick to Hughes<br />

<strong>and</strong> when he drove it back across goal Steventon<br />

was in the right place to steer the ball in for his first<br />

goal at home.<br />

Seven minutes later <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were twoup.<br />

Steventon followed up his own long throw with<br />

a pinpoint cross to the far post where the lively<br />

Tom Carlse was unmarked to head comfortably<br />

home, the second home game in a row in which<br />

he’s scored.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> were absolutely on top, pulling the<br />

Peacehaven defence out of position with some<br />

good attacking play, <strong>and</strong> Steventon was foiled by<br />

the keeper, Ita shot just wide <strong>and</strong> sub Michael<br />

Hurcombe – on for the injured Wells – had a clever<br />

shot on the turn well saved.<br />

Just towards the end of the half <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> got<br />

just that bit sloppier in their play, but they still<br />

should have made it 3-0 seconds into the second<br />

half, Hurcombe going clear on Ita’s pass only for<br />

the keeper to rush out of his area <strong>and</strong> block the<br />

shot. It looked for all the world as if keeper Burbridge,<br />

a one-time <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> trialist, had used<br />

his arm to make the save but the referee ruled otherwise.<br />

To be fair, it would have been unreasonable to expect<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> to have totally dominated for the<br />

whole game, even against weaker opposition than<br />

they usually face.<br />

And they did take their eye off the ball a little bit,<br />

Peacehaven testing Adam Molloy for the first time<br />

in the 63rd minute <strong>and</strong> then pulling a goal back<br />

soon after when Marshall’s low drive took a deflection<br />

on its way past the keeper.<br />

But <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> deservedly had the last word,<br />

clinching the victory when young Embery collected<br />

Steventon’s throw, <strong>and</strong> turned to hammer it in at<br />

the near post.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong>: Molloy, Brunt, Lee , Whibley,<br />

Crimmen, Steventon, Allen (Parkinson 85 mins),<br />

Carlse (Embery 79 mins), Wells (Hurcomb 24<br />

mins), Hughes Ita.<br />

Walton Casuals were the better side in the first<br />

half but <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> turned the tables after<br />

half-time <strong>and</strong> it was nearly all one-way traffic in<br />

their favour, but Walton did get three of their<br />

goals during that period though in my humble<br />

opinion, <strong>and</strong> I don’t often criticise referees who<br />

have a hard enough job anyway, I reckon two<br />

of them directly followed the referee getting decisions<br />

wrong.<br />

Steven Ita gave <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> an early lead<br />

with a 25 yard free kick, but Walton hit back<br />

almost immediately. When skipper <strong>Day</strong>’s shot<br />

took a slight deflection off Scott Whibley’s attempted<br />

block <strong>and</strong> into the goal.<br />

On 33 minutes Odunaike got behind the defence<br />

for the first time, anticipating Whibley’s<br />

headed back pass to neatly lob the advancing<br />

Adam Molloy for Walton’s second..<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong> played well as an attacking force<br />

in the second half, constantly taking the game<br />

to Walton, but they were undone on 73<br />

minutes when Jack Steventon definitely looked<br />

as if he was fouled in a challenge by Walton’s<br />

Omar Folkes. He went on <strong>and</strong> whipped the ball<br />

in behind the central defenders <strong>and</strong> Odunaike<br />

did the rest, while the challenge which seemed<br />

to miss the ball <strong>and</strong> catch Steventon saw him<br />

hobble out of the rest of the game.<br />

Ita’s cleverly chipped free-kick found Carlse<br />

who headed home to pull a goal back.<br />

The goals were flooding in <strong>and</strong> Walton scored<br />

again two minutes later with Odunaike beating<br />

Molloy in a one-on-one. But this goal came on<br />

the break direct from a Walton goal-kick which<br />

for all the world looked as if it should have<br />

been a corner awarded to <strong>Sittingbourne</strong>.<br />

Hat-trick man Odunaike hit the bar, but Walton<br />

still added another deep into injury time when<br />

Nicholson comfortably stroked home a 20-yard<br />

free-kick.<br />

Still <strong>Sittingbourne</strong> weren’t done <strong>and</strong> Ita scored<br />

the final goal of a weird game in the seventh<br />

minute of added time with a beautiful left-footer<br />

into the far corner from outside the box.<br />

<strong>Sittingbourne</strong>: Molloy, Brunt, Lee, Whibley,<br />

Crimmen, Steventon (Richardson 74 mins), Allen,<br />

Carlse, Hurcomb (Cornwell 59 mins), Hughes<br />

(Emerby 72 mins), Ita

SO NOW we know then. Wembley will reverberate to the sound of four sets of supporters on<br />

one day – the line-up for the experiment which may shape the future of Non-League’s premier<br />

cup competitions has been confirmed.<br />

Morpeth, Hereford, Halifax <strong>and</strong> Grimsby fans will all be under one roof (well, if the weather<br />

turns!)<br />

The FA Vase kicking off at 12.15pm <strong>and</strong> the Trophy four hours later.<br />

Non-League Finals <strong>Day</strong> on Sunday May 22, a festival of football, is a one-off but should it be<br />

successful, this first will probably not be the last.<br />

Credit where it’s due. We’ve banged the drum for this for some time <strong>and</strong> the Football Association<br />

have made a brave call <strong>and</strong> will try something new <strong>and</strong> untested to breathe some much<br />

needed new life into the games.<br />

Make no mistake, it’s a logistical nightmare for them. It’s hard enough to police two sets of supporters,<br />

but four – all inside the stadium at one point – will be a challenge, as will the running<br />

times.<br />

Extra time in the first game <strong>and</strong> a delayed presentation may get the Wembley suits uncomfortable<br />

in the posh seats, while a Sunday League-style tussle for the changing rooms will see the<br />

cleaner’s speed to scrub be tested to its fullest should the FA Vase go the whole way.<br />

You could of course argue the only reason the FA are giving this a whirl is because it will save a<br />

lot of money having to open Wembley’s heavy doors on two separate weekends, but there’s a<br />

fascination <strong>and</strong> excitement about how the whole day will unfold.<br />

They have taken stick. Just when the governing body were getting props for their unconventional<br />

methods, they leave themselves exposed to a return to the tutting <strong>and</strong> the eye-rolling.<br />

Non-League Finals <strong>Day</strong> isn’t exclusive after all. Engl<strong>and</strong> are playing, albeit in Manchester <strong>and</strong><br />

yes later on, the fear is that the Three Lions’ Euro warm up with Turkey will steal national focus.<br />

It’s an opportunity missed to dedicate a day to the Trophy <strong>and</strong> the Vase. There’s no reason at<br />

why Engl<strong>and</strong> couldn’t play on the Saturday <strong>and</strong> leave all the attention to what’s going on under<br />

the Arch.<br />

But let’s not hammer the FA at every chance possible. The point remains that they have taken a<br />

gamble, risked the wrath of the traditionalists <strong>and</strong> brought life to both competitions when it was<br />

desperately needed.<br />

Yet the biggest thumbs up must be for the prices – rarely will you say that about Wembley.<br />

You can watch the entire day for £25, with concessions for £10. Do you know a youngster who<br />

has yet to see their national stadium? Bring them along for £1.<br />

In fairness, it’s a fantastic bargain. Just remember to bring your own sarnies!<br />
