Hello and welcome back to Station View

LEE’S VIEW

Tonight’s visitors are Glossop North End and I believe this is the first time as either a player or a manager that I have met them in a competitive game.

Similar to when Spennymoor came into our league last season, they have aims to gain promotion straight away again and after the start they have had it’s hard to bet against them. I write these notes prior to Saturdays game when Glossop are at home against Radcliffe so they would have expected to pick up maximum points and with Spennymoor in the FA Cup it’s likely we will be playing the second place team in the league. I hope the management, staff and supporters have had a safe trip and they enjoy the facilities that we have at our club.

Since our last home game when we beat Mossley 2-0 in what so far has been our best performance of the season, we then travelled to Trafford and lost to a 6-0 scoreline for the second time this season.

Football is a strange game as we went from our best performance to our worst in the space of 5 days, we had too many players who had an off day and although as a

manager I feel that I set us up wrong, I felt that we should have given a better account of ourselves.

and the calibre of player we get is excellent as both Nat and Rob have shown in their games with us.

We then travelled to Burscough and lost 3-2, this was underserved and by far the most disappointed I have been in my short rein as manager. Certain things went against us in the game and the players were disappointed with the outcome.

I then added Louis Horne, although he is only 24 he has a lot of experience at our level of football and higher, he can play in different positions and will be a leader on the pitch for us, to join the others that we already have. Louis fell out of the game for a while due to personal reasons, and I want to give him the platform to enjoy his game again and get him back to the levels that he played as a youngster.

We have then played Ossett Albion who have been doing very well this season and have built a good team. At this time I am unaware of the result but I am hopeful that we have given a good account of ourselves and gave a performance that we can take into tonight’s difficult match.

Regarding players, we have added two great talents to the squad, Rob Worrall has arrived on a 36 day loan from Harrogate Town and is now the second player we have had with Nat Pells dual registered. No matter what people think about Harrogate Town and the natural rivalry that will always exist between the clubs, the relationship with them behind the scenes is paramount to us going forward, the players that we get are here to gain experience that will enable them to play at Conference North levels

Before Saturday we are on target for a point a game with 8 points in 8 games, we need to keep an eye on that and be realistic with our ambitions.

In my first season here as assistant, after 12 games we had 8 points, so I am happy with the way things are going at the moment and with the squad we are building, the age of the squad is unbelievable, the average age is around 21, and with Rob 17, Harry Brown 18, Tom Goodwin 20, to name just three. I believe that if we can keep them together and keep them playing and learning, then on the pitch we have a very bright future.

Enjoy tonight’s game

Harrogate Railway 2-0 Mossley

Railway claim second Station View win in three days thanks to Sharrocks & Bromley Harrogate Railway enjoyed a 2-0 success over Mossley on Monday 7th September, just two days after thumping Radcliffe Borough 4-1.

Mossley created the first chance of the second half when Rhys Nevins got down the right and sent a low delivery across the goalmouth that David Short couldn’t direct under the crossbar under close attention from Railway defensive duo Alex Low and Nathaniel Pells.

Lee Ashforth made two changes from the previous win; handing a first start of the season to Fatlum Ibrahimi and recalling Charlie Clamp to the starting 11.

Railway peppered the Mossley goal looking for a third with Stockdill seeing his shot blocked on the edge of the area and Bromley stretching just inches shy of turning in Simon Parkes’ delivery.

Ryan Sharrocks opened the scoring for the hosts after 11 minutes, dribbling past Mossley defenders and into a position to shoot hard and low with his left foot past Liam Flynn at his near post.

Clear cut chances were few and far between in the second half, however, despite spells of dominance from either side, as Sharrocks’ edge of the box volley was acrobatically blocked and Andrew Keogh struck a bobbling ball high and wide at the other end.

Mossley couldn’t handle the young winger who wasted no time in setting up Railway’s second goal two minutes later. Sharrocks sent a fantastic cross from the right wing towards Stephen Bromley eight yards from goal who headed the ball back towards the near post and in.

Although not the busiest of nights for the stopper, Tom Goodwin did have a save to make in the 84th minute when he held on to Tom Pratt’s goal bound shot to keep the final score at 2-0.

Jack Stockdill came agonizingly close to putting Railway out of sight in the 33rd minute when his 30-yard strike clipped the inside of the post and bounced clear.

The Harrogate Railway Team Lee Ashforth has a wealth of Non-league experience in and around these levels of football and played at Station View for three seasons before moving on. A popular choice he arrived at Liversedge with Billy in 2010/11 and in 2011/12 stepped up to become Billy’s right hand man. His playing experience alongside his calm approach made him the ideal candidate for his role. Summer 2015 sees Lee take on his biggest challenge yet as he succeeds Billy Miller as manager of Harrogate Railway, leading Railway for the 2015/16 season.

Simon Wood is an experienced player who can play across the back four and is now involved on the management of the reserves. He has played 500+ games at Evostick level and although starting the season injured will be hopeful of a successful season.

Harrogate Railway’s History Harrogate Railway was formed in 1935 by workers at the Starbeck LNER depot and joined the local Harrogate League with some success, winning the British Railways National Cup in 1946. They borrowed £1,500 from the LNER and more than 300 workers contributed one old penny per week to repay the loan. This money secured ownership of the current Station View site.

Railway finished in the top three in 2006 and achieved Uni-Bond Northern Premier League status, the vital victory at Sheffield probably the best display of the season. History had been made and the club was set to play at the highest level of the pyramid in its history.

The first season in the Uni-Bond League proved to confound the bookies who predicted a basement finish. A good start was built upon and the campaign ended in a mid-table finish.

The 1950s saw the club progress through the West Yorkshire League to the Yorkshire League and they made the second round proper of the FA Amateur Cup in 1953, going out 3-2 at Harwich & Parkstone.

Sadly, the loco sheds closed in 1959, subsequently affecting finances as many of the workers, and players, had to leave the area. Nevertheless, under the auspices of “Chick” Farr the club soldiered on through the sixties and they almost repeated their Amateur Cup exploits of the fifties when they made the first round proper in 1961 only to lose 4-2 at Whitley Bay.

Unfortunately Martin had to relinquish managerial duties for business reasons but Vince Brockie and new assistant Dave Morgan carried on the good work. The following season’s league form proved to be rather erratic but Railway finished well clear of the relegation zone in the end.

Incredibly, another mighty FA Cup run dominated and the little club from Yorkshire reached the second round proper for a second time. A battling home victory over then unbeaten rivals Harrogate Town was the undoubted highlight of the qualifying rounds before Blue Square side Droylsden were sent packing 2-0 in the first round.

Mansfield Town came to Station View on a soggy Sunday and BBC Match Of The Day screened the game live this time, complete with Ray Stubbs. Mark Lawrenson and Jonathan Pearce. Mansfield won 3-2 but not before two second-half goals from Danny Davidson gave them late scares. Assistant manager Dave Morgan was promoted to manager for the following season but found life difficult, gleaning only 2 points from the first 36. He resigned and in his place came Phil Sharpe and Richard Chattoe. Between them they staved off fears of relegation and looked for consolidation in the future.

In 1964 they won promotion to the first division of the Yorkshire League, then just three steps from the Football League itself, and made the Yorkshire League Cup Final, losing to Farsley Celtic after a replay. The late sixties and the seventies became a real struggle and Railway had to pull out of the Yorkshire League and return to the Harrogate League in 1973. This gave the club time to re-group and they were back in the Yorkshire League in 1980 becoming founder-members of the new NCEL League in 1982.

Freddie Cliff steered the club to promotion from the second division (north) and won the League Cup with a 5-0 victory over Woolley Miners Welfare in the final. Meanwhile a new junior structure was formed, thanks to the work of John and Mary Lindsay and now Railway can boast one of the best junior set- ups in the region. In the 1990-91 season Railway made their first major impression in the FA Cup, Denis Metcalf steering his team to the fourth qualifying round.

Future manager Martin Haresign actually played in the 3-1 defeat at Chorley.

However, the start of the season was not one of the best and Christmas saw Railway again languishing at the bottom end of the table but an influx of good, battling players pulled the club away from the drop-zone. Richard Chattoe left mid-season and Nigel Danby came in as Phil’s assistant.

Phil resigned at the end of the season and Nigel was appointed as manager, bringing in Mick Norbury as his right hand man. Nigel and Mick’s reign lasted just short of two seasons as they flirted with relegation in both years. In came a management team of Alan Parkes, Dennis Metcalfe, Bob Moffat & Steve Donoghue to replace them.

Despite valiant efforts in the last six League games Rail found themselves in the bottom two when the season finished. Thankfully Rail were reprieved due to Durham City taking voluntary relegation and Woodley Sports being relegated due to a Ground Regulation ruling.

Floodlights were installed in 1991 and a strong Sheffield United side, including Vinnie Jones, provided the star opposition at the official opening. Management changes and more financial hardship hindered progress as the nineties wore on. However, Dave Fell joined as boss in 1998 and won the NCEL first division but he departed at the end of the same season. Paul Marshall took the job on and, although it was a struggle, he kept Railway in the premier division. The club’s faith in him culminated in two amazing back-to-back FA Cup runs.

The fourth qualifying round was reached for a second time in 2001, the run ending with a 3-2 defeat at home to Morecambe, the winner coming deep into injury time.

The 2012-13 season started with the new management team of ex-Liversedge manager – Billy Miller and his assistant ex-Railway favourite Lee Ashforth in charge. Although most of the players were from a league below us it was a struggle to start with but things came good with a brand of football that hadn’t been seen at Station View for some time and by the end of that season Rail had finished in 18th position with a total of 41 points – well clear of the relegation zone.

In addition Harrogate Railway finished with the best discipline record not only in the Northern part of the League but in all three Evo-Stik leagues.

A year later Railway went two better and, after a bewildering qualifying competition, the many who travelled to Berkshire witnessed a 2-1 win at Slough Town in the first round proper. The lowest-ranking club ever to reach the second round were drawn at home to Bristol City, top of the second division, the highest-ranking club in the competition at that stage. Railway opted to play the game at home and temporary stands adorned Station View. Sky TV beamed the game around the globe and the club was the focus of the football world for a couple of hours in December 2002.

2013-14 Billy & Ash consolidated our position within the League forging a strong relationship with Simon Weaver and Harrogate Town, dual registering players to boost the player pool at Railway. As a result, Railway finished 13th on 48 points for the season. 2014-15 season saw Railway finish with a record points tally and eigth - a record high. Nathan Cartman wont the golden boot for being the league’s top scorer.

Bristol City were made to fight for their 3-1 win, Steve Davey netting with 17minutes to go, but once again an injury-time goal sealed Railway’s fate. Despite winning the NCEL President’s Cup, Paul Marshall was not reinstated. Leeds duo Dave Harrison and John Francis were appointed but, after just one win in 11 games and early exits from the FA competitions they stepped down. Martin Haresign was brought in to steady the ship and retain NCEL status.

Lee Ashforth took the managerial reigns when Billy left during Summer 2015 and we look foward with excitement to the new season.

Leading from the front Having turned out for Halifax Town, Eccleshill United, Thackley and Knaresborough Town before arriving at Station View, Stephen Bromley has a wealth of experience compared to his young teammates.

Despite the array of clubs, Bromley holds his current side in the highest regard and is determined to perform at the peak of his powers for the club.

And after last season’s eighth placed finish, Railway’s attacking spearhead is hoping for more success under the new management team.

He said: “Harrogate Railway stands out as being the best time I’ve had at a club, there is a great set of lads here and the ability is unreal!

“I’m based close to Harrogate so I know all the lads here and I don’t think I’ll be moving from this club.

“Because I’m 32, I know I’ve only got the next couple of years playing at this level and I want to make the most of it.

STEPHEN BROMLEY 12

“I normally set my targets in pre-season, Ash said to me I want 20 goals out of you this year and I told him I’d get him 25!

their early 20’s and at the opposite end of their footballing exploits, Bromley recognises his important role in the team.

“I think five years ago I’d have said I’ll take 20, but I want to push myself and see what I can get.”

Being both a police officer and a Father, Railway’s frontman is extremely familiar with positions of responsibility and often looks to lift others around him.

That attitude gives an indication to the drive and determination Bromley provides within the dressing room and the desire to climb the table.

He said: “If a pass goes wayward I’m straight away trying to get their head up, that goes back to being a Dad.

“Finishing eight last year was amazing and, personally, I don’t want to finish in that bottom half.

“Just having a little chat with the lads, it only takes two or three words like ‘keep your head up, you’re doing brilliant’.

“People might say anywhere out of relegation is good but I’d like more and I know we can do more, especially with what Ash and Woody can bring to us.”

“If I played a bad pass I used to look at myself straight away and my head would fall down but I’m there to help with that and I feel like I’m doing good for them.

“Ash will have a word with you and he’ll talk to you, he knows that if you’re heads down and you’re feeling down he’ll have a chat with you.”

Stephen will certainly be a crucial member of the Lee Ashforth’s squad over the coming season and has already chipped in with some vital goals for Railway.

WHO ARE GLOSSOP NORTH END?

It’s a classic quiz question — which is the smallest town in England to have been the home of a top division football club? The answer — Glossop.

Hill-Wood who later left to become Chairman of Woolwich Arsenal. In 1898, on their third application, they were admitted to the Football League.

Of course, it’s a long time since that 1899/1900 season but the Hillmen (or Hillsmen, as they were known back then, in honour of owner Sir Samuel Hill-Wood) supporters never forget the proud history of the club. However more recently they were given some more moments that they will talk about in the town for years to come and are hopeful of providing a few more.

In their first season, by finishing runners-up to Manchester City, they won promotion to the Football League Division 1. Unfortunately, they spent just one year in the division, the best victory being a 3-0 result against Nottingham Forest.

Founded in 1886, Glossop North End began by playing friendly amateur matches. They entered the North Cheshire League in 1890 and introduced professional players in 1894. Their Chairman and benefactor was local cotton magnate Sir Samuel

Glossop played in League Division 2 until the end of the 1914/15 season, In 1908/09 reaching the quarter finals of the FA Cup where they lost to Bristol City in a replay. They ceased playing during the latter part of the First World War but were reformed by Oswald Partington MP, who had been club captain in the 1890’s.

Between the wars the

21

club played in the Lancashire Combination and the Manchester League, of which they were champions in 1927/28. They also won the Gilgryst Cup on three occasions.

Matches again ceased during the Second World War, Glossop rejoining the Manchester League afterwards. They won the Gilgryst Cup for a fourth time in 1949.

In 1955 they moved from their original ground at North Road to the present home at Surrey Street. Since then they have played in the Lancashire Combination, the Manchester and the Cheshire Leagues before becoming founder members of the North West Counties League in 1982.

Glossop have spent most of the time in the First (now Premier) division, although much of it was spent at the lower end fighting

against relegation, whilst the club itself fought for survival, victim of a criminally corrupt owner in the 1980s. It was only the hard work of board members and supporters kept the club afloat after the disgraced regime. There was a little success — the club was Manchester Premier Cup winners in 1997 and 1998, and Derbyshire Cup winners in 2000-01.

More recently though, things have improved for the Hillmen. 2008/09 saw a once-in-a-lifetime day in the history of the club after the side embarked on a terrific FA Vase run which saw North End reach the final at Wembley.

Whilst the final saw a disappointing result — losing 2-0 to Whitley Bay — the run awakened interest in the Hillmen throughout the town. There is now a thriving Supporters Club, which has funded makeovers to the ground and helped generate interest in the club home and away.

This sparked a dramatic overhaul that saw a refurbishment of changing rooms, a new clubhouse, a new covered standing area and new perimeter fencing. Ground grading for the Evo-Stik league was achieved, and now what was a required was a team to make that count.

Manager Chris Willcock is the man appointed to the task, and he had a very exciting first season in charge in 2013-14, taking the club to a 3rd place finish – it’s highest in the NWCFL – and a Derbyshire Senior Cup Final. However, that was just the start.

2014-15 is a season that will live long in

the memories of everyone involved in the club. It started with a decent FA Cup run, only ended narrowly at Chorley, whilst league wins were ticked off.

However, cups runs and replays meant that North End missed games, and found themselves many games in hand on the leaders Runcorn Linnets. At one point 21 points behind, they were required to play three games a week to play catch up.

However, the players kept achieving.

Firstly the players clinched a return to Wembley with a 2-legged win over Cornwall’s AFC St Austell having defeated strong outfits like Worksop, Dunston UTS and Shaw Lane Aquaforce. Oncein-a-lifetime…pah!

Then, having relentlessly chased down the Linnets they clinched the league with a 3-0 win over Nelson with 3 games to play. Next they completed a league/cup double with a 2-0 victory over Atherton Collieries.

Finally, Wembley beckoned. The FA Vase final build up was perfect, but again the result was disappointing, losing 2-1 to North Shields as the season finally caught up with them. However, the pride of being a Hillman had never been a higher and the feeling of watching your team take the lead at Wembley is hard to beat.

And so to 2015-16. There is much excitement in the town, and Chris Willcock will not settle for making up the numbers.

He has instilled a will to win in the club that might take a few by surprise.

Trafford 6-0 Harrogate Railway Impressive Trafford hit Railway for six at Shawe View Recently relegated Trafford turned on the style on Saturday 12th September to put six unanswered goals past Harrogate Railway.

Both sides looked to assert their dominance on the contest in the opening ten minutes with Jack Stockdill and Jack Dorney sending long range shots over the bar.

Trafford grabbed the first goal of the afternoon after 13 minutes when Robbie Bromley’s corner evaded everyone except Danny Lafferty who fired the ball under the cross bar from close range.

Tom Baker’s side then doubled their lead after 26 minutes when Lee Rick picked up the ball 18 yards from goal and coolly side-footed into the bottom right corner.

Trafford added to their lead six minutes later from the penalty spot after Harry Brown had got the wrong side of Phil Dean and brought the attacker down allowing Dorney to step up and smash the

ball in off the bar.

Although it took a fine headed clearance to deal with Lawrance Hunter’s in-swinging free kick, Railway couldn’t peg Trafford back and went into the break three-nil down.

Railway applied pressure on the Trafford goal with a series of corners in the opening ten minutes of the restart, however. Dorney soon regained his grip on proceedings in midfield and added his second of the afternoon on the hour mark smashing a left footed half volley into the top right corner.

Four minutes later Chris McDonagh claimed his eighth goal of the season heading Rick’s lofted free kick into the bottom right corner with Tom Goodwin unable to get enough contact to turn the ball round the post.

Trafford substitute Ash Reece then added a sixth, and a best goal of the day, when he picked the ball up 40 yards out in the 85th minute and sent an unstoppable strike past Goodwin into the top right corner.

Points From the Past TONIGHT we conclude our story of the Northern Premier League, now the Evostik League of course.

Premier together with Rhyl and Horwich RMI (who became Leigh RMI, then Leigh Genesis) from the North West Counties League. Barrow immediately regained their place in the newly-sponsored Gola League with FA Trophy finalists Bangor City again being relegated to the Northern Premier.

We ended last time with Frickley Athletic being promoted to the new national Alliance Premier League in 1980 instead of Mossley, who had been champions for two successive seasons. It was Kings Lynn from the Southern League who filled the vacancy for the following campaign.

During the 1984-85 season preliminary discussions were held regarding the possible formation of a second division but initial reaction was unfavourable with clubs preferring automatic promotion (subject to successful ground grading) of the champions of the North West Counties League and the Northern Counties East League. The idea of adding the second division came to fruition two years later.

Runcorn were champions in the season 1980-81 and moved up to the Alliance Premier League. Bangor City followed suit in 1981-82. In that season the bottom three clubs of the Alliance Premier League were all from the south or midlands so the Northern Premier did not receive any relegated clubs.

Changes in membership for the 1985-86 season were the return of Gateshead from the Gola League in exchange for Stafford Rangers and the election of Caernarfon Town from the North West Counties League at the expense of Grantham.

To compensate, Chorley and Hyde United came up from the Cheshire County League. Lancaster City left to join the newly-formed North West Counties League. It was in that same season that the Northern Counties East League also came into being.

In the early days of the Northern Premier League honours went mainly to the ex-Cheshire County League clubs were Boston United, Barrow and Gateshead.

The latter were champions in 1982-82 with a then record of 100 points.

At the end of the 1982-83 season Gateshead gained promotion to the Alliance Premier, Kings Lynn and Tamworth transferred to the Southern League and Netherfield (now Kendal Town) resigned.

Multipart sponsored the Northern Premier League from 1985.

New clubs for 1983-84 were Barrow and Stafford Rangers from the Alliance
