LEE’S VIEW Welcome back to Station View Welcome to Droylsden, all their management team, players and staff for the opening day of the Evostick North campaign, It seems like an absolute age since I took the role of first team manager and I feel like I have spoken to hundreds of players throughout the last three months. Finally we are here and with competitive fixtures which is why we are involved with football and the sport we love. I feel like I have been at Railway for a long time now having spent three years as a player, three years as assistant and now making the step up to first team manager is an honour and I am proud that the club and committee put faith in me to ensure that we do well this season in all competitions but primarily the league. We had an absolutely fantastic season last year and to finish in eighth place was an unbelievable achievement, throw in the FA cup run that we had and it is safe to say the season was beyond our ambitions at the start of the season. We now enter a new season with a new management team and a new group of players that are all hungry to do well at this level. It has taken time and patience to get the squad together and I am now happy with the players we have recruited and the age of the squad. We are a young side and a side that I am hopeful can grow together and over the next few seasons can really grow into an exciting group of players.
