CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to today’s game against Lichfield Coty FC and may I extend a warm welcome to their players, officials and supporters and hope we all enjoy a good game.

May I start by reminding everyone watching today to ensure that you take full responsibility for following the guidelines we have in place on track and trace and social distancing when around the ground. This is really important to us as a club to ensure that you follow the guidance to ensure everyone’s safety. There will be regular announcements over the tannoy reminding you of social distancing and if you can police this yourselves and support us then we may see the game we are here to watch carry on each week without interruption of another wave. Please follow the guidelines and if you are unsure speak to one of our groundstaff here today.

Last saturdays game was a great start for the team and the boys came out on top 3-0 and looked strong throughout. The away trip to Brocton was a tough visit based on last years results but the boys again worked hard and fought as a team and were deserved of a point away. The winners that night however were the mosquitoes that seemed to score a fare few hits on the players and spectators.

Today we have some player mascots walking out with the players and these players represent our Under 10’s so we welcome them to the game and hope they all enjoy the experience.

Once again please follow the guidelines and hope you all enjoy the game.

Stuart Bonser Club Chairman Ps – if you are visiting the ground by car please DO NOT OBSTRUCT the junction to Cambrian Way by parking on the grass/path verge as this is both dangerous and you could get a fixed penalty notice from the Council and or Police. vs Lichfield City | Saturday 12th September 2020 | www.ashbyivanhoefc.co.uk

FIRST TEAM UPDATE Hello again all.

As I’m sure that you're aware we've had a decent first two league games. A comfortable 3-0 win here last week and a well-earned 0-0 draw away to Brocton on Tuesday night.

It's always nice to start the season off with a win and i thought we played some decent football in spells.

Midweek was a tougher affair and I thought it was a good game which had everything but a goal. I'm sure those of you who travelled with us were entertained. Brocton is a tough place to go and a point is a decent return.

On to today. Lichfield are another 'top 6' side who will provide us with another challenge.

One that we certainly look forward to.

As always, I hope you enjoy your visit and I look forward to your continued support.

Regards Andy Gray FIRST TEAM UPDATE SPONSORED BY

IN OPPOSITION TODAY - LICHFIELD CITY The Club began life in the 1970’s as Beacon Rangers before changing its name to Beacon Park. In June 2006 a decision was made by the Committee to change the club’s name to Lichfield City FC in order to raise its profile in the local community.

The effects of this name change have been massive, as within 6 years the Club has increased the number of sides from 8 to 25! We have teams from under 6 all the way through to open age (including a Ladies team playing in the Staffs County Womens League) and currently have more than 380 playing members. We also achieved our Charter Standard award within a year and in 2009 achieved the status of Charter Standard Community Club which is the pinnacle award for Charter Standard Clubs. In 2010 Lichfield City FC was recognised by Staffordshire FA as the best Community Club in Staffordshire.

In 2008 we moved our open age team from the Burton & District League into the Midland Football Combination so that we could provide our junior members with an exit route into a better standard of football. That season we finished 5th but were fortunate enough to gain promotion to the second division after a league restructure. In 2009 / 2010 we finished 3rd but missed out on back to back promotions as only the top 2 went up. For the 2010 / 2011 season we moved our reserve team into the Midland Football Combination to benefit from the improved professionalism, standard and playing facilities that the league provide. That season our first team finished 4th in the 2nd division and again gained promotion due to a league restructure. Season 2011/2012 was our best yet with the reserves finishing runners up in the reserve division 2 and our first team a creditable 4th in the first division. After successfully gaining planning permission for floodlights, we had the platform in place for premier division football and following the Mid Comb AGM, both our teams were promoted to their respective premier leagues for season 2012/2013.

We have changed our main pitch from grass to 3G so that we can accommodate the 350 kids we have within the football club and hopefully attract more players to the our ever growing Junior section.

There are a number of clubs in Staffordshire that have converted to 3G and their club has prospered from the increased revenue such a surface attracts, not just on the pitch but also the increased footfall through the club house. The 3G pitch takes us on the next Journey for LCFC and hopefully we will move up the football pyramid over the next few seasons.

2020/21 season we Welcomed Ivor Green and Wayne Chapman as our New management Team. vs Lichfield City | Saturday 12th September 2020 | www.ashbyivanhoefc.co.uk

In the 2008/2009 season the club formed a Youth Team (Under 18’s) side who play in the Leicestershire Midweek Floodlit Youth League on Wednesday nights. A Sunday team was re-introduced for this season and they play in the Burton Sunday League Division Four.

The club’s junior sides ranging from Under 7’s through to Under 18’s play in the Burton Junior Football League and the Tamworth Junior Football Leagues. The junior section came after the club merged with the David Hunt Soccer School at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season.

In February 2004, Ashby Ivanhoe became an FA Charter Standard football club. The club is very ambitious and has plans to progress further up the league pyramid system. The club is run by an experienced management team and enjoys the support of some very prestigious commercial partners.

Ashby Ivanhoe had one of their most successful seasons in 2010/11 as they completed a league and cup double by winning the Leicestershire Senior League by nine points and also lifted the Coalville Charity Cup for the very first time after producing a superb second half comeback to beat Bardon Hill 3-2 in the final. They have also reached successive Leicestershire Senior Cup finals in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 but had to settle for runners-up on both occasions losing 3-1, firstly to Ibstock United and then Aylestone Park.

The 2013/2014 season saw the first team achieve a long-term ambition as they won promotion into the Step 6 of the Pyramid system playing in the East Midlands Counties League for the 2014/2015 season after finishing third place in the Leicestershire Senior League. It was a close title race with the top three all finishing level on points with Ashby third on goal difference. The Reserves were also promoted to the Leicestershire Senior League Division One. 2014/2015 saw Ashby compete at Step 6 for the first time and they had a very good season and secured a top six finish in the East Midlands Counties League which featured victories against all of the sides above them. The Reserve side were involved in a tight title race and it went down to a last day decider against Lutterworth Athletic Reserves but despite the result going against them on the day they were still promoted for the second season in succession and will play at Step 7 in the Leicestershire Senior League Premier Division for 2015/2016.

2015/2016 saw Ashby have another fine season and they mounted a strong title challenge and they led the East Midlands Counties League for the majority of the season before finally finishing in third place. That saw them assured of a first ever appearance in the FA Cup for the 2016/2017 season where the aim again will be to push for promotion to Step 5.

The 2016-17 season was the most memorable in the history of Ashby Ivanhoe Football Club. For the very first time in the clubs history they were accepted to play in the most famous club competition in the world, The FA Cup. It turned into a thrilling journey with higher ranked opponents of Quorn and vs Lichfield City | Saturday 12th September 2020 | www.ashbyivanhoefc.co.uk

ASHBY IVANHOE FC CLUB HISTORY Loughborough Dynamo knocked out before Ashby fell to Ilkeston in the 1st Qualifying Round. Prior to the Ilkeston defeat Ashby received a visit from the FA Cup which was paraded through the town centre visiting local sponsors before players and spectators had the opportunity to view the cup at the NFU Sports Ground.

The league season was inconsistent with a strong finish to the season seeing the team finish in tenth place. The season did end with a first appearance in the final of the Jenkins & Jenkins League Cup but Dunkirk overturned a one goal deficit late on to see Ashby end as runners-up.

The 2017-18 season saw the 1st team finish Seventeenth in the East midland Counties and the Reserves finished in the bottom Two and relegation to Division One. 2018-19 saw the 1st team finish in the bottom half of the East Midlands Counties Football League and The Reserves now called the Knights finish runners up in the Senior League Division One and promoted back to step 7 in the Senior League Premier Division.

In the 2019-20 season Ashby first team faced a fresh challenge when they were moved to the Midland Premier League Division one by the FA in a shake up of the NLS, the season as we all know was expunged due to the pandemic. The Reserves league also had all results expunged.

As a club we are now looking to but our ground and have since the end of the previous season become a CIC club.
