A Brief History of Alnwick Town AFC Alnwick Town Association Football Club was formed in 1879, and was then known as Alnwick United Services. The club was the only Association Football side between Dunbar and Newcastle. In 1900 the club moved to our current home, St James’ Park. The club’s name was changed to Alnwick United Juniors. Between this time and the beginning of the First World War, the name changed between United and Town on several occasions, and also a brief spell as Alnwick St James’s. The club competed in the North Northumberland League until 1923, moving to the East Northumberland League until 1936. The club was then renamed Alnwick Town, and would compete in the Northern Alliance until 1982, apart from 1 season in the Durham Central League in 1964-65. The 60’s and early 70’s were Alnwick Town’s golden years, winning the Northern Alliance on 7 occasions and a league and cup double 5 times. In 1982-83, Alnwick Town were admitted into the newly formed Northern League Division 2. In the 1988/89 season the club finished runners-up and were promoted to the 1st Division, the highest league they have played in to date. The club also elected the league’s first female chairman, Judith Draycott. Relegation from the Northern League 1st Division followed in 1990/91. The club remained in the Northern League 2nd Division until 2006-07 when failing to meet ground criteria and lack of funds resulted in relegation to the Northern Alliance. A change in chairman, committee and management saved the club from extinction, and with the club spending 4 seasons in the Northern Alliance Premier Division, they were promoted back to the Northern League for the 2011-12 season. Whilst in the Alliance, the club won the Senior Benevolent Bowl and the Pinpoint Recruitment Cup. The club were also awarded F.A Charter Standard for the first time in their history. Back in the Northern League, the club finished in 16th place, and achieved Grade G ground status, preserving the club’s position in the Northern League, meaning the club would be competing in the F.A Vase and Senior Cup once again. With plans for the future on the horizon, the club can hopefully look forward to a return of the glory years once again.

The Chairman - Tom McKie Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to St James’ Park, the home of Alnwick Town AFC since 1900. A particularly warm welcome to today’s match officials, as well as the players, management and supporters of our opponents NORTH SHIELDS. Here at St James’ Park, we continue to improve our facilities every year, with both the ground and clubhouse being extensively upgraded since we returned to the Northern League, gaining a Grade G status in the process. None of what you see today would have been possible without the continued support from all of our sponsors, in particular Kitson Windows, MKM, Jet Wash OK, Genix Dental Care, Northumberland Floor Sanding and Mark Ryder Heating and Plumbing. I would also like to thank all of our volunteers who work continuously throughout the year in all sorts of weather conditions. Without their commitment and effort the club would simply not survive. Please feel free to come into the clubhouse to enjoy a beverage or two! Finally, I hope you enjoy the match and have a safe journey home.
Tom McKie
Programme Notes - The Editor Well after a disappointing first 45 minutes, and then a much improved 2nd 44 minutes, we managed to lose the game in the last minute at home to Whickham. We simply didn’t take our chances, and we seemed to have enough of them to come away with at least a point. Off the pitch, there was a gathering of former players from our previous glory years. It was great to see Clive Burn again who hasn’t been attending as many games as he would have liked to recently. Along with the others that attended though, they are always welcome at St James’ Park. --------------------------------------------------------------------------Tonight gives us a chance to redeem a recent defeat away to the league leaders North Shields. For 45 minutes we did well, frustrated the home side and restricted them around the pitch. If we had been able to create a bit more then it could have been a different outcome. North Shields aren’t top of the table for no reason though. They’ve got an excellent defensive record up to now. That may change tonight though, as Stokesley proved at the weekend the can concede, and concede heavily. Hopefully Keith Douglas will be available tonight for us. He (along with Gloire) have helped us edge away from the relegation spots, and personally I’d like to see Keith get a goal against his former employers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------Will end on a bit of good news for all those involved in the relegation battle. Blyth Town withdrew their promotion application last week from the Northern Alliance, so there will be only 1 relegation from the Northern League 2nd Division. The promoted side will come from the Wearside League, and I believe there have been 5 applicants. 1 of those is Ryhope CW, who were relegated at our expense last season due to not having the required ground grading (they didn’t have a 50 seater stand in place). Guess what they still didn’t have in place as of last week?….. Follow Alnwick Town on Twitter, Facebook and our Website. @alnwicktownafc , www.facebook.com/alnwicktownafc and www.alnwicktownfc.co.uk
Alnwick Town Player Profiles - 2013/2014 Season BRIAN BROOKS GOALKEEPER
DAN MULLEN
The 472 Player of the Season for 2012/13, Brooka played a massive part in keeping the club in the Northern League. One of the club’s longest serving players and a genuine role model for the younger lads coming through. SPONSORED BY: WESTERHOPE COUNTRY LIVING Dan has become the first choice this season and has made a promising start to his Alnwick Town career. Not for sale.

JAKE LOWES DEFENDER
KIERAN HOGG
‘OOMPA LOOMPA’ as the 472 song goes, Alex has become a permanent fixture in the defence at the club. Now that Marc Nixon has left, he has officially been crowned the club’s tallest player. SPONSORED BY: DAVID REYNOLDS Danny will be hoping for an injury-free season, having had lengthy spells out following games against Esh Winning. He has a different haircut every week, at the moment though he’s looking a bit bald on top, with a daft beard. AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR Hillsy has returned to the club following his big money move to Ryton & Crawcrook Albion last season. Still a favourite of the programme editor due to his Sunderland roots, Hillsy adds some much needed experience at the back. AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR Tom Mac has taken over as captain this season. Loves the banter at the club, especially the away days involving Christmas jumpers and bribing the judges in Brampton. SPONSORED BY: JOHN PROUDLOCK BUILDING CONTRACTOR 01669 621 141 Jake will be hoping for more first team action this year, and following the retirement of the club’s long serving left back this could be his year. Younger brother of Danny, with a lot more hair on top, and a daft beard. AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR Hoggy has become a permanent fixture at left back this season and is continuing to improve. A danger when he runs with the ball at defenders. Overdue a goal or two.
MIDFIELDER SPONSORED BY: DAVID REYNOLDS
Alnwick Town Player Profiles - 2013/2014 Season You’ll often find Kiddy on the treatment table due to being made of glass. Cruciate ligament injuries and dislocated shoulders are just part of the game apparently. AWOL in USA again. Follow him on twitter @chriskidd4 SPONSORED BY: TOM MCKIE Muzza. Club Captain. Legend. Hates a booking. Heart and soul of the club. Never stops running. Caused a 1 man pitch invasion last season with 2 late goals against Brandon United. It was worth it. SPONSORED BY: PETER ROPER The first player to score 20 goals in the Northern League for the club since James Swordy. Tony arguably kept the club up last season and scored some crackers in the process. A hat-trick against Birtley rounded off his season. SPONSORED BY: ALLAN TAIT Kev has returned to the club again following stints of kicking and punching lumps out of others in a cage. He’s a canny lad. Will never back out of a tackle, and sure to give Muzza a run for his money this year for the ‘Bad Boy’ award.

Tom is back in first team action following a successful cricket season (again) and also the birth of his first child. Lots of Northern League experience and a nuisance to defenders. AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR
Described by his former club North Shields as a ‘legend’, Keith has a phenomenal scoring record in the Northern League, and he has finally come home! A big signing for the club, Keith bagged a brace on debut against Esh Winning. SPONSORED BY: ALAN BURN Minnow’s 2nd season with the club and he’ll be hoping to get more action this year from the starting line-up. Scored a couple of vital goals last season, lets hope for a few more again this season. AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR
Dale will be hoping for an injury free season after complications from the previous season’s injury. Will run himself into the ground and not shy to put a foot in. Big chance this year. AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR

TeamDinga Darts and Charity Cycle Team are proud to support Alnwick Town Football Club
For only £2.50 per section, you can help support Alnwick Town AFC financially for the 2013-2014 season by sponsoring a section of the St James’ Park pitch. Each section is roughly the size of a dugout in the illustration above, and you can use it to advertise a business, charity, or if you like simply your own name. You may purchase as many sections as you wish. If we can fill each section of the pitch, we will raise £205.00. Although this may not seem like much in terms or running a football club, every little helps. The money raised would almost cover the photocopying costs for the inserts of the matchday programme for the entire season. Contact us atafc1879@btconnect.com or on Twitter @alnwicktownafc for details. Current Total Raised: £110.00, with 53.66% of sections taken.

Previous Encounter North Shields 3-0 Alnwick Town Three 2nd half goals were enough to condemn Alnwick Town to their first defeat in 5 games away at league leaders and promotion favourites North Shields. Town were without forwards Dale Kennedy, Tom Vickers, and former North Shields favourite Keith Douglas. There was a first league start for youngster Adam Jobson in the centre of midfield, and only a second start for winger Dominic Schiavetta. The defeat dropped Alnwick one place down to 19th in the table on goal difference (due to a heavier defeat than Stokesley Sports Club), but with other sides around the also dropping points, the defeat could have been worse. In yet another game which was ruined by the windy conditions, Alnwick held their own in the first 45 minutes, restricting the league leaders efforts on goal. The closest Shields came in the first half was a long range effort from Dean Walker that skimmed the top of the crossbar. Alnwick's only effort in the first half came just before half time. With Tony Brown being fouled around 25 yards out, Kieran Hogg's effort was blocked, and the rebound was drilled at the keeper by Kevin Elliott. In the 2nd half, Shields, obviously given a bit of a talking to by manager Graham Fenton, took the lead 10 minutes after the break. A freekick was given away in a dangerous position, and with the cross whipped in the ball was put in by Michael Tait past the despairing Dan Mullen to give the home side the lead. A few minutes later the game was all but over. Another cross, this time an unstoppable volley by Ryan Carr doubled Shields' lead. Alnwick were being left frustrated by a Shields defence that had conceded only 24 league goals all season. The game was sealed with only a few minutes left on the clock. Another free-kick on the edge of the box bounced in front of keeper Mullen, who spilled to the feet of Dan Smart to make it 3-0. Alnwick had efforts in the final couple of minutes but were unable to pull a goal back. A late substitution also saw manager Derek Atwell make his first appearance for the club. There was no disgrace in losing to the champions elect, but the away side will be disappointed following the first 45 minutes of the game where they made North Shields look like anything other than the league leaders. First XI: Mullen D, Mbiavanga G, Hogg K, Murray B, Macpherson T, Elliott K, Brown T, Jobson A, Fawcett C, Schiavetta D (Atwell D), Makin A (Lowes D) Subs not used: Brooks B
