STUART BONSER
CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to the NFU Sports Ground for today’s FA Vase game against Romulus FC and may I extend a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Romulus FC and hope we all enjoy a good game. I start with sad news of the passing of an Ashby Ivanhoe FC legend in Charlie Tissington Snr who sadly died last Tuesday. If you go to the Ashby Ivanhoe FC Facebook page you will see a very befitting tribute to Charlie and the influence and effect he had on this club over the many years he was involved. All of our thoughts are with Charlie’s family and especially to his Son Charlie Tissington Jnr, who as you all know has equally been instrumental in the past success of this club. Today we are joined by our 2 under 8 teams who will be walking out with the players before he game and is testament to how we are joined up as a club and involve and promote a player pathway from junior to senior and I’m sure there will be a few
Last weeks home win against Cradley Town maintained our push and we hope that a run in the vase can also be achieved today. All that remains is to wish Andy, his staff and players all the best today and enjoy the game. Ps – if you are visiting the ground by car please DO NOT OBSTRUCT the junction to Cambrian Way by parking on the grass/
proud parents on the side as well as the
path verge as this is both dangerous and
boys getting a great experience before
you could get a fixed penalty notice from
today’s game.
