Good afternoon and welcome to the Easy Buy Stadium for<br />
today’s game against <strong>Parkgate</strong> FC. We would like to welcome<br />
all officials, players and supporters from <strong>Parkgate</strong> and also<br />
congratulate them on their recent good form and managing to<br />
survive the drop down into the NCEL First Division. I’m sure<br />
you all agree they deserved to stay up based on their form in<br />
recent weeks.<br />
However, despite our own good form of late it just was not<br />
enough and we did not manage to beat the drop with results<br />
from other teams last weekend who were not on good form<br />
sealed our fate and unfortunately was relegated to the First<br />
Division for next season.<br />
Our good form in 2017 just started too late in the season to<br />
save us, but everyone at the club is proud of the effort and<br />
commitment from the management and players in recent<br />
weeks. Looking back at recent results we have been a top 10<br />
team in the league and have been improving game by game.<br />
If we can keep this group of players next season we will be a<br />
force to reckon with and I’m sure we will bounce right back<br />
with promotion back to the Premier Division.<br />
As Chairman of the club I apologise to all of our supporters of<br />
the club for the relegation this season. We took over too late in<br />
last year’s pre-season and we knew it would be a struggle to<br />
stay in the Premier Division but we gave it a good go and came<br />
very close to staying up.<br />
However our main objective was secure the club’s future and I<br />
believe with the back room team I have here we have achieved<br />
this and the club is secure and can now push on for the future.<br />
This club, and town, is fantastic and we have now built new<br />
relations with the town and secured new sponsorship and<br />
grown the club in other ways. Recently we have secured a new<br />
Youth set up that will be joining the club next season playing<br />
under our name which is fantastic news for the club and town.<br />

We can now be proud that we have a community club to grow for the future and I would like to<br />
thank Barton United Juniors and welcome them to our club.<br />
The minute the final whistle is blown today the hard work will start again and this time we will be<br />
ready as a club for next season and of course our main objective will be to return to the Premier<br />
Division at the first time of asking. I will be meeting the management team next week to start<br />
preparations for the new season and will hit the ground running this time. In the meantime we<br />
also will be trying to improve the pitch and have just signed up with a local contractor Lawn N<br />
Order. This is a five figure sum, annual deal with a professional pitch maintenance company to<br />
ensure that the 2017-18 season gets off to the best possible start for all Barton Town Old Boys<br />
Players, coaching staff and supporters. The new season is dedicated to raising the standards of<br />
our club in all areas, and with the Club no-longer leasing the pitch to Westella, we as a club can<br />
concentrate our focus solely on our own in-house developments. Lawn N Order have also been<br />
kind enough to sponsor the club helping us to fund this operation.<br />
As Chairman in a strange way I am proud of what this club has achieved this season and the<br />
above is just a small portion of our hard work recently, and we are committed to carry this hard<br />
work into the pre-season and beyond to have a club the you and the town can be proud of. As<br />
ever, the work we have done is not free and still need help in many ways to achieve this, so<br />
please come and join us for all our summer events in pre-season as every penny we raise goes<br />
into the club to help the team’s growth. If you cannot attend events we have many ways to help<br />
us; one being the 200 Club at £5 per month it’s well worth it with some great prizes every<br />
month.<br />
Our first Summer event is tomorrow with our Dog Show, with Sophia and Owen Taylor<br />
working hard to make this event happen, so we hope the weather will be good to us. It will be<br />
sure to be a good day; gates open at 10am. Please support this event as if it’s a success this will<br />
be a yearly event here at the club. We also have our presentation night on May 12th in the AP<br />
Robinson Sports Bar at 7pm if any supporters would like to join to us.<br />
Then on June 24th we have the Annual Sportmans Dinner and this year we have England legend<br />
Chris Waddle as guest speaker - don’t worry we aren’t going to ask him to sing! Full details of<br />
how to get tickets for a great night out in the club house and elsewhere in this programme.<br />
I am very grateful to the back room team I have here at the club; they all work hard and I would<br />
like to thank them personally for all their support this season. We could not have done half of<br />
what we have achieved this season with your help THANK YOU. And of course a massive thank<br />
you to you our supporters for supporting the team though thick and thin this season; we are<br />
sorry to have given you a bad ending but, by God, we will be determined to give you a winning<br />
team next season to support and be proud of with our main objective of promotion.<br />
Just one last thank you to today's sponsors Regal Fish who have<br />
kindly sponsored the game today we hope you enjoy your afternoon<br />
with us.<br />
Enjoy your summer and see you next season.<br />

the Manager`s<br />
Note<br />
Book<br />
Good afternoon and welcome to our final match of the season<br />
where we face <strong>Parkgate</strong>. From the very first days of this campaign<br />
we knew that, from even the most cursory look at the fixture list,<br />
today’s match would be a vital “six pointer”. As the season<br />
started to draw to a close it became clear that this game would<br />
define the club’s season.<br />
Ultimately our future was decided before this match; last weekend’s results have confirmed<br />
that we return to the NCEL First Division after six seasons in the Premier Division. A win today<br />
would still leave us one point adrift of safety and, with hindsight, just a couple of extra goals to<br />
convert draws to wins would have seen us with a big enough points margin to continue to play<br />
at this level. Looking at how we've progressed recently you just can't help but think ‘What if?’<br />
Like us, <strong>Parkgate</strong> had a very poor start to the season and have also seen a turnaround in fortune<br />
in 2017. Especially in recent weeks where they have had a great run of results, dropping only<br />
two points from their last six matches and, after their win at Bridlington Town last Saturday,<br />
fully deserve their reward of Premier Division football next year.<br />
Rainworth Miners Welfare and Harrogate Railway also found themselves dropping down the<br />
table in recent weeks but managed to hold things together in the closing stages to deny us the<br />
opportunity of making today the day we make our ‘Great Escape’ reality.<br />
Despite the highs and lows we have faced, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my season at Barton Town<br />
Old Boys. It's been a major roller-coaster ride, with a lot of learning curves along the way for<br />
myself, Dave Botham and, of course, the players.<br />
Looking back there's only a few things I believe I could have done different.<br />
A lot of things have been out of my hands and I do believe we've done the best we can with the<br />
cards we've been dealt !!<br />
I think the lads that have stayed through this season from the start deserve a lot of credit.<br />
James Williamson, Tom Waudby, Lee Fisher, Eddie Rogerson and Chris Fairhurst have all done<br />
fantastically well, and each and everyone of them have improved their game 100%.<br />
I hope this season will help them, and has been character building for them, as I believe they<br />
can all go on to have a very good non-league career!<br />
A lot of players have left us this season, and I'm not one to call out players after they have left<br />
but this season has really opened my eyes to the lack of desire and passion in some players<br />
these days. Players leave because after playing nearly every week and then dropped for a few<br />
games they question it. Players leave because they've missed two games through work and then<br />
when not back in the squad, again they question it. Players listening to their Dads and believing<br />
they’re the best player out there! But then go to other clubs and sit on the bench!<br />

Barton Town Old Boys v <strong>Parkgate</strong>
This leads me to mention the great attitude from the twins, James and Danny<br />
Nichols. They come to games week in, week out along with their Dad and<br />
Granddad - who as well have great attitudes with how they respect my decisions<br />
on the pitch. This season has been such a learning curve for them both that I<br />
believe they will come back next season stronger.<br />
I can only wish that the signings we made near Christmas had only<br />
come sooner. The arrivals of Ryan Williams, Gary Bradshaw and<br />
Lee Shilleto have been great for us, just with their characters in<br />
the dressing room, along with young lads Tommy Waud<br />
and Luke Salas. It gave us some new faces and new banter<br />
in there, which we massively needed.<br />
We've gone on a great run recently. One that gave us<br />
belief that we could achieve what seemed impossible<br />
just a few months ago, but definitely a little too late.<br />
Despite this the one thing all of these players have<br />
shown is they don't give up anymore, they don't throw<br />
the towel in.<br />
This season we have lost the fight to stay playing Premier<br />
Division football, but we are a team. We have gone down<br />
together and next season we regroup and come back<br />
fighting together.<br />
I wish we had been able to take the chance of survival to the<br />
last game of the season, so as to give the fans something to<br />
look forward to and to cheer the team on this afternoon. Of<br />
course, it goes without saying we’ll be looking for a win today to<br />
go out on a high note.<br />
Finally I want to thank the fans that come and watch us, and encourage<br />
us, in particular those who have taken the time and expense of<br />
travelling to away matches; your support has been greatly appreciated<br />
by all.<br />
I'm guessing it's not been the best Barton Town Old Boys team and<br />
it's probably not been the best football you've watched, but I hope<br />
we've done you all proud and I hope you all know we've given<br />
100% to stay in this Division.<br />
Next season a new challenge awaits us.<br />
One that I know we can face with spirit,<br />
passion and optimism!<br />
Enjoy the game!<br />

Finished fourth in the Lincolnshire league and won<br />
the County Senior 'B' Cup in inaugural season under<br />
manager Peter Mitchell.<br />
Won Lincolnshire League and Challenge Cup<br />
'Double'.<br />
Won Lincolnshire League Challenge Cup and County<br />
Senior 'B' Cup<br />
On the pitch, that intent was certainly realised as the<br />
title of Supreme Division Champions 2005/06 was<br />
added to the Club's list of honours.<br />
Switched to Humber Premier League finishing third<br />
in the League's first season.<br />
Brought in Leigh Palin to work alongside Mitchell as<br />
Club joined Central Midlands League, finishing runners-up<br />
in the Premier Division and gaining automatic<br />
promotion to Supreme Division.<br />
Palin left the Club in October 2002 to be replaced,<br />
initially by Alex Irvine before Neil Buckley took the<br />
reins. Finished first season in Supreme Division in<br />
13th place.<br />
Seventh place finish in Supreme Division<br />
Further improvement saw a fourth place finish<br />
Supreme Division runners-up at the end of the<br />
2006/07 season, the Club was in the fortunate position<br />
of being considered once more for promotion<br />
to the Northern Counties East League and this time<br />
the facilities were not found wanting.<br />
Ninth place in Division One was the outcome of the<br />
Club's first foray in the NCEL, a comfortable finish,<br />
albeit a little disappointing bearing in mind the team<br />
had been promotion contenders until around about<br />
the turn of the year, before loss of form, injuries and<br />
suspensions took their toll. A great run in the League<br />
Cup, which saw a number of Premier Division sides<br />
beaten at Marsh Lane en-route to the semi-final provided<br />
some consolation for missing out.<br />
After five successful seasons at the helm, late July<br />
2008 saw the shock resignation of Neil Buckley, due<br />
BartonTownOldBoys.co.uk 9
to increased work commitments. Despite that blow,<br />
the Club responded promptly, promoting coach<br />
Carl Stead to the hot-seat to work alongside existing<br />
Assistant Manager, Ian Durnian and newly-appointed<br />
player/coach, Craig Burdick to send out the message<br />
that it was very much ‘business as usual’.<br />
The story of the 2008/09 season was another one of<br />
steady, if unspectacular, improvement. A fifth place<br />
finish was the outcome, but, in a worrying case of<br />
history repeating itself, not before another dreadful<br />
dip in form in the new year, which saw the team<br />
slump form genuine promotion contenders to alsoruns,<br />
some eleven points adrift of a guaranteed promotion<br />
slot. The disappointment of missing out was<br />
compounded by the loss of a number of key senior<br />
players who had been instrumental, with others, in<br />
the Club’s success over the previous four seasons.<br />
The lure of football at a higher level, something that<br />
the Club has signally failed to provide, proved to be<br />
too strong.<br />
The 2009/10 season proved to be another season of<br />
two halves. In contrast to the previous two seasons,<br />
it began poorly, one or two bright spots notwithstanding,<br />
and plagued by a terrible run of injuries,<br />
showed little sign of improvement as the season<br />
wore on.<br />
With the team marooned in mid-table in late November<br />
2009 and finding it increasingly difficult to<br />
balance family and work commitments with football,<br />
Carl Stead resigned. Ian Durnian assumed the mantle<br />
of caretaker Manager until a new management<br />
team of Dave Anderson and Mally Parker was appointed<br />
in early January 2010.<br />
And so 2010 saw the start of a new chapter in the<br />
history of the Club. The new faces had the desired<br />
effect. Players, both old and new, responded superbly<br />
to the promptings and demands of the new<br />
management duo, finishing the second half of the<br />
season in fine style. A sixth place finish, largely on<br />
the back of an unbeaten away run stretching back to<br />
January, bears testimony to the great strides forward<br />
made under the new regime.<br />
In their first full season at the helm, and in a huge<br />
testament to the management team and all the players<br />
involved, Anderson and Parker guided the side<br />
to promotion to the Premier Division, the highest<br />
level in the history of the Club and achieved a full<br />
two seasons ahead of schedule. Not without a few<br />
nervous moments along the way, promotion was<br />
finally secured on the last day of a memorable season.<br />
After a fraught start, the first season in the top flight<br />
saw the Club finish a credible 11th, helped in no<br />
small way by a seven match winning streak, part of a<br />
longer unbeaten run in all competitions during November<br />
and December. The team also made it<br />
through to two cup finals, the County Senior Trophy<br />
and the President's Cup, and although missing out,<br />
narrowly, in both, they too marked a significant step<br />
forward.<br />
Season 2013/13 saw the Club achieve its main aim,<br />
that of consolidating and improving on the previous<br />
season's mid-table finish. Hovering amongst the top<br />
six, and on merit, for much if the campaign, a disappointing<br />
late run of seven league games without a<br />
win, although countered by an equally fine run-in of<br />
seven games unbeaten, saw the Club finish in eighth<br />
place, still a very encouraging achievement.<br />
With further ground improvements being undertaken<br />
in the close season, 2013/14 saw the first team<br />
looking for further consolidation by establishing itself<br />
as a top six side. And, to the immense credit of players<br />
and management alike, the team exceeded all<br />
expectations to claim the runners-up spot, behind<br />
worthy winners, Brighouse Town. An increasingly<br />
youthful and very closely-knit squad created, in the<br />
process, a Club record 23 game unbeaten League<br />
run stretching over a full five months during which,<br />
10<br />
Barton Town Old Boys v <strong>Parkgate</strong>
and for the first time ever in the Club's relatively<br />
short history, the team hit top spot, mid-run, in late<br />
December, staying there over the Christmas and<br />
New Year turn before eventually being pegged back.<br />
Season 2014/15 started with the Club under no illusions.<br />
To have any realistic chance of improving on<br />
the previous season's marvellous second place finish,<br />
it was vitally important a good, solid start was made.<br />
It was a start that failed, dismally, to materialise as<br />
the first four League games saw four defeats and the<br />
Club bottom of the table come mid-September.<br />
Hardly the start everyone was looking and hoping<br />
for. A superb midweek win at eventual champions,<br />
Shaw Lane Aquaforce changed all that, belatedly<br />
kick-starting the season and acting as the catalyst for<br />
another of the team's signature runs which saw just<br />
two points dropped in a stretch of nine League<br />
games unbeaten, hoisting them into the top eight, a<br />
position from which they rarely slipped, in the process.<br />
The eventual fifth place finish was, in its way, on<br />
a par with 2013/14's second place, given the awful<br />
start made and the fiercely competitive nature of the<br />
NCEL's Premier Division, arguably as tough a (Football<br />
Pyramid) Step Five League as any in the country.<br />
2015/16 proved to be, with the benefit of hindsight,<br />
something of a watershed. Although a top six league<br />
finish, at the very best, looked clearly achievable up<br />
until Christmas, the second half of the season was<br />
distinctly underwhelming, not helped at all by the<br />
effects of a very wet winter on the fixture schedule<br />
and the loss of a number of key players to long-term<br />
injuries. A 10th place finish was the upshot and that<br />
along with a number of cup disappointments left the<br />
season as one of those to forget.<br />
and saw the March Lane ground renamed The Easy<br />
Buy Stadium. At the Club's AGM, Mark was also<br />
elected Chairman to lead a long-needed new and<br />
ambitious Committee with the over-riding intention<br />
of running the Club as a successful business.<br />
One of Mark's first tasks was to accept the resignations<br />
of Dave Anderson and Mally Parker after six<br />
and a half years at the helm, during which time promotion<br />
to, and consolidation in the NCEL Premier<br />
Division was attained, no small achievement. Their<br />
departure, along with that of Physio, Vinnie Orszewski,<br />
and last but by no means least, one of the major<br />
driving forces and architects behind everything<br />
achieved by the Club, on and off the field for over<br />
20 years, Ian Durnian, meant it was very much a<br />
case of the changing of the guard at March Lane.<br />
The early July timing of Anderson and Parker's<br />
departure, along with the mass exodus of players<br />
previously loyal to the Club meant that any incoming<br />
Manager would have their work cut out to get a<br />
competitive squad together before the 2016/17<br />
season started just four short weeks later. That task<br />
fell to the much-respected Paul Foot, former captain<br />
of local high-flyers and serial overachievers, North<br />
Ferriby United, working alongside coach, Dave<br />
Botham. All the early signs are, given a few months'<br />
patience, the new duo will get it right.<br />
And if the Club does get it right with new<br />
management teams in place both on and<br />
off the field, then one thing is very certain.<br />
And that is the future of Barton Town Old<br />
Boys Football Club remains very bright<br />
indeed!<br />
Off the field, and after 10 years' fantastic and muchappreciated<br />
support, Paul Vickers ended his sponsorship<br />
of The Euronics Ground. The search was on<br />
for a new sponsor and benefactor. Into the breach<br />
stepped existing sponsor, Mark Gregory whose<br />
company took on the mantle of ground sponsorship<br />

Lee joined the club on<br />
trial in Summer 2015<br />
after starring for Reckitts<br />
in the Humber Premier<br />
League last season. A<br />
versatile full back who<br />
can cover both sides, as<br />
well as playing in the<br />
midfield, he has become<br />
a key member of the<br />
squad.<br />
The right footed Midfielder<br />
joined Barton<br />
from Bridlington Town at<br />
the start of the 2016/17<br />
season, and his hard<br />
working ethic has<br />
brought a great bit of energy<br />
to the Swans midfield.<br />
Tom hopes to go as<br />
far as he can get in football<br />
and hasn't won any<br />
silverware to date.<br />
James has hit the ground<br />
running and has<br />
impressed over the start<br />
of the season giving other<br />
players and management<br />
a lot to think about. With<br />
a goal to his name already<br />
this season, he's building<br />
momentum every game.<br />

Terrace Talk<br />
By Darren Stockdale<br />
Here we are again, the final game of the season,<br />
one that has been pretty challenging for both the<br />
team and the fans. It has been difficult at times<br />
writing this article, trying not to be overly critical<br />
whilst being honest at the same time. Back in<br />
January when I wrote my article for our match<br />
against Cleethorpes Town Barton were languishing<br />
at the bottom of the league with only two league<br />
wins to their name and looked all but relegated.<br />
Unfortunately that happened last weekend without<br />
us having to kick a ball, but the fact that it went<br />
down to the penultimate league game shows how<br />
the team has improved. I know some people would<br />
have rather we stayed up, but personally I welcome<br />
the chance to go see the team play our nearneighbours<br />
Brigg and Winterton again and at the<br />
same time hopefully fighting for position at the<br />
right end of the table. I have said it before and I will<br />
say it again, I would rather watch a team winning in<br />
a lower league than losing in a higher one.<br />
Our last home match, against Worksop Town, was a<br />
cracking game. The Tigers brought plenty of<br />
support with them, and they were certainly vocal. It<br />
was a cold, dry and windy day, and the first half<br />
started in a very even fashion. Both sides had good<br />
chances and, thanks to the wind, those of us sat in<br />
the terraces saw almost as much of the ball as the<br />
players. Around the half hour mark Barton were<br />
awarded a penalty which was subsequently saved<br />
by the Worksop keeper. The rest of the first half<br />
saw even play to the break. During the break a few<br />
of us popped our heads through the fence to look at<br />
the cricket. In the fifteen minutes or so we were<br />
there nothing happened so we returned only to find<br />
the Worksop fans had taken over our bit of the<br />
terraces. As Barton were kicking towards the<br />
stands in the second half I decided to stand in there<br />
for a change. 12 minutes into the second half and I<br />
was pleased I did, when a thunderous throw in from<br />
Louis Bruce found Lee Shilletto who duly scored the<br />
first goal for Barton. This quietened the Worksop<br />
fans for a while and just as they were finding their<br />
voice again Gary Bradshaw popped up to score a<br />
second for Barton from a corner. At this point the<br />
Worksop fans decided they were going to win 3-2,<br />
but the actual team didn’t really look like they<br />
would. Barton had more of the play, and Worksop<br />
managed to shoot themselves in the foot when<br />
their number 11 was sent off late on. The game<br />
ended 2-0 to Barton, and in all honesty it was a<br />
fairly comfortable result for Barton.<br />
For my final random fact of the season I have to<br />
mention the Franklin, Tennessee based pop-punk<br />
band Paramore (as we will not be playing a certain<br />
team with a similar sounding last name in the<br />
league next season). They announced last week<br />
that they are bringing a new album out on the 12th<br />
May. Thankfully for the current government they<br />
announced this the day after their slightly less<br />
interesting announcement of a general election in<br />
June. I know which one I am looking forward to the<br />
most.<br />
Today we play <strong>Parkgate</strong>. Last season 80 supporters<br />
saw a home victory for the Swans against <strong>Parkgate</strong><br />
by three goals to nil, our goals coming from a brace<br />
for Scott Phillips and one from Brad Ricketts. In the<br />
away fixture at the Roundwood Sports Complex,<br />
Barton again managed to claim victory with a much<br />
closer three goals to two. Our goals on the day<br />
came from Gareth Owen, Alex Sherwood and an<br />
own goal. This season however, our away game<br />
was not such a close affair, with Barton being<br />
thumped seven nil in front of 85 fans. Today’s<br />
match may not mean much for our league<br />
positions, but it would be nice to finish the season<br />
off with a win.<br />

Hallamshire Senior Cup Final at Hillsborough.<br />
<strong>Parkgate</strong> enjoyed another successful campaign<br />

former Macclesfield Town manager Gary<br />
Simpson as his assistant.<br />

Barton Town Old Boys v <strong>Parkgate</strong>
The Road to<br />
Wembley<br />
As this is that last programme of the 2016-2017 season it seems appropriate to bring our FA Cup run story<br />
up to date. The competition has now reached the Final due to be played on 27th May. So far we have seen<br />
how Barton Town Old Boys would have progressed through to the last eight, having achieved this milestone<br />
after, in the guise of Lincoln City, dispatching Premiership side Burnley at Turf Moor to set up a Quarter<br />
Final tie at the Emirates Stadium home, of course, to Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal.<br />
So off on another trip south to London on Saturday 11th March to take on one of the most consistent teams<br />
in the competition having lifted the FA Cup five times since the turn of the century.<br />
In the same period they have also finished in the top four every year, and subsequently also qualified for the<br />
UEFA Champions League every year. Clearly no pushovers despite recent well publicised fan unrest as this<br />
season it looks likely that they’ll have this unbroken run come to an end.<br />
Although ultimately the result was not unexpected with Arsenal wining 5-0 it didn’t appear that Lincoln City<br />
were overawed by their hosts, only conceding the first goal just before the half time whistle. Soon after the<br />
restart Giroud scored Arsenal’s second and an own goal shortly after sealed Lincoln City’s fate after a run<br />
that captured the imagination of the country.<br />
So now onto the semi-final to be played against Premiership side Manchester City who have won the FA Cup<br />
five times, most recently in the 2010-2011 season, and were runners-up to Wigan Athletic in the 2012-2013<br />
Final played on 11th May. That same year Wigan were relegated and became the first team to be relegated<br />
and win the FA Cup in the same season<br />
The semi-finals have been played at Wembley since the new stadium was completed in 2007 with the<br />
official opening match being the 2007 FA Cup Final on Saturday 19th May although matches had been<br />
hosted at the stadium since it was handed over to the FA on 9th March.<br />
The 2016-2017 semi-finals were played on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd April so perfect to fit into the<br />
Barton Town Old Boys schedule as, of course, we didn’t have a match that weekend.<br />
Anyway Manchester City took the lead in the second half with a Sergio Aguero goal but were pegged back<br />
to 1-1 shortly after when Nacho Monreal scored the equaliser. So another 30 minutes play was required.<br />
Just over ten minutes into the first half of this and Alexis Sanchez scored Arsenal’s second and Pep<br />
Guardiola’s squad were unable to respond.<br />
So onto the Final at the end of May where the winner of “our” match takes on Premiership table topping<br />
Chelsea.<br />
And that’s it for this year! The chart and map on the facing page shows the clubs that Barton Town Old Boys<br />
would have had to have beaten this season to get their hands on the FA Cup at the completion of the 136th<br />
playing of the world’s oldest football cup competition.<br />

AS champagne continues to be sprayed and league<br />
trophies are lifted high above heads, the<br />
countdown continues to the biggest day in the<br />
Non-League calendar – Finals Day.<br />
This year, as last, the FA Trophy and FA Vase<br />
showpiece matches will take place on the same day<br />
under the Wembley arch in a real celebration of the<br />
beautiful game below the Football League.<br />
Lincoln City, who recently wrapped up the National<br />
League and with it promotion to the EFL, agonisingly<br />
missed out on reaching Wembley, beaten over two<br />
legs by York City. The Minstermen will face<br />
Macclesfield Town after they disposed of Tranmere<br />
Rovers, who challenged the Imps in the top-tier for<br />
so long.<br />
In the Vase, Cleethorpes Town, who were<br />
established as Lincolnshire Soccer School in 1998<br />
and entered the Lincolnshire League just 14 years<br />
ago, will clash with South Shields in the Owls’ first<br />
ever Vase final. It’s also the Mariners’ first ever Vase<br />
final with that and the Trophy clash both taking<br />
place on May 21.<br />
Last year, 46,781 watched Morpeth Town and FC<br />
Halifax Town upset the odds to lift the Vase and<br />
Trophy respectively. Morpeth came from a goal<br />
down inside two minutes to beat Hereford, with<br />
over 20,000 Bulls fans left devastated at the home<br />
of football.<br />
Whether they’ll be<br />
winners under the arch<br />
is yet to be seen, though<br />
they face a tough outfit in South<br />
Shields, who racked up a mammoth 108 points in<br />
winning the Northern League, ahead of last year’s<br />
Vase winners Morpeth.<br />
Out of the 42 matches played, Graham Fenton’s<br />
side won 34 of them, losing just twice. And<br />
remember, Fenton has Vase pedigree having led<br />
North Shields to success in the 2015 FA Vase,<br />
beating Glossop North End 2–1 in the final.<br />
York will be underdogs in the Trophy final, having<br />
struggled back in the Non-League ranks whereas<br />
Macc have had a steady season in the top-tier.<br />
North Ferriby showed that the Trophy can be won<br />
from Step 2 in 2015 though, so don’t write off City<br />
just yet.<br />
There’s still chance to buy your tickets, and they’re<br />
reasonably priced too, priced at £25 for adults, £10<br />
for concessions and £1 for children whilst there is<br />
also a special group rate which reduces prices to<br />
£12.50 for adults and £5 for concessions.<br />
Make sure you get yours and make it a day to<br />
remember for the whole of Non-League<br />
Joshua Peck<br />
Just a couple of hours after Chris Swailes,<br />
Wembley’s oldest goalscorer, lifted the trophy, FC<br />
Halifax Town were doing the same, having seen off<br />
Grimsby Town. It really was a great day of football,<br />
even for the neutral.<br />
Cleethorpes have already received a huge boost<br />
ahead of the upcoming final, named joint winners of<br />
the 2017 Buildbase Club Renovation Programme.<br />
The Lincolnshire-based club will share the £100,000<br />
product bursary with west London outfit Hanwell<br />
Town following a Dragons Den-style pitching event<br />
for six finalists held at Wembley.<br />
