ood afternoon and welcome to today’s Emirates FA Cup Third Round tie against Portsmouth.

I’d like to wish all the Cod Army supporters a very Happy New Year, and I hope that you all enjoyed Christmas with your families. It’s certainly been a busy period for the team, with four games in 11 days, and it’s testament to the effort put in by the players and staff that we came through the hectic Christmas period unbeaten in the league. In all four games we played, there was probably an argument that we could have won them all, but we take six points from the four games and continue to look forward.

Since our New Year’s Day game with Sunderland, we’ve seen a couple of players leave the club. Firstly, Jimmy Dunne has returned to Burnley after they recalled him early from his

2

season-long loan with us. Jimmy returns to Burnley with our best wishes for the future. Peter Clarke has joined Tranmere Rovers, in what is a really good deal for him and his family. When he joined us in the summer he was only on a shortterm deal, so for him to sign a 18-month deal at Tranmere on more money and closer to home for his young family, we can only wish him the best moving forward. Peter was a superb professional, who was a real leader in our dressing room.

There’s a real chance for the team to make history today and become the first Fleetwood Town side to get into the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. Standing in our way are the only side we haven’t played in the league this season, Portsmouth.

They have incredible cup pedigree, winning the competition back in 2008 with that famous victory over Cardiff City. But we know that if we play to

the levels we produced over Christmas, we have a real chance of progressing and that’s ultimately the goal today.

I’d finally like to welcome Kenny Jackett, his staff and players, as well as the supporters and directors from Portsmouth to Highbury for today’s game.

Enjoy the game,

Fleetwood Town v Burnley

ALL CYLINDERS

"WITH NEARLY A HUNDRED GAMES UNDER MY BELT, I'VE GOT TO KNOW SOME OF THE LADS REALLY WELL. I'M GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE LIKES OF COYLEY AND ASH EASTHAM. THEN THERE'S JOSH MORRIS WHO I GOT TO KNOW AT SCUNTHORPE."

WORDS: DAVID MITCHELL

Forward Paddy Madden has been scoring goals left, right and centre for Fleetwood Town so far this season, and is hoping to reach the 20-mark soon.

F

or Fleetwood Town’s leading scorer, Paddy Madden, there is a personal incentive to win today’s game against Portsmouth.

In a ten-year career containing much success he has yet to reach the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. The stand-out game of nineteen so far in the competition was for Scunthorpe United at Stamford Bridge in January 2016.

“Yes, Chelsea away was obviously a nice tie to get. We were basically running around chasing the ball for ninety minutes.

“I was playing on the right wing that day so there was a lot of running up and down. It was a tough game on the legs.”

Paddy was marked by Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma, internationals both and the quality of opposition was clearly a cut above what he normally met.

“They would be three passes ahead of you in their minds which made it difficult to mark them.

“However, it was a great experience.

The Scunthorpe chairman put us up in a London hotel and our families came round for a while to chill with us.

“Mine came over from Ireland but, unfortunately, I couldn’t give them a goal.

“Hopefully we can get through today and earn ourselves another similar day.

“Obviously, financially a big tie is brilliant for the club but equally there is a chance of a big pay day when you play a non-Premier League or Championship club because there is a better chance of getting through to the next round.”

Another memorable FA Cup occasion was in 2014-15 when Scunthorpe beat non-league Worcester City away 14-13 on penalties after a second successive 1-1 result. It was the longest penalty shootout in the competition’s history,

44

“I’d scored goals in both legs but Worcester weren’t for giving up and proved to be a good outfit.

“To go for 180 minutes plus extra time with a league side was a great effort.

“I scored two goals in the shootout which seemed to go on for ever!”

Following a 2-2 draw with Chesterfield at home in the next round, Scunthorpe went out of the competition 2-0 away.

"I'D HAVE TO GO FOR THE CHEST AND VOLLEY AT SHREWSBURY TOWN. I'M NOT ONE FOR SPECTACULAR GOALS, I'M USUALLY IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME." “We were 2-0 up at home but Chesterfield were playing some very good stuff around that time.

“I think they got to the League One play-offs that season. They had some really good players and did us in the replay.”

Paddy was on target four times four Fleetwood in last year’s competition, with goals against Alfreton, Guiseley and AFC Wimbledon.

“Sides like that aren’t the Chelseas of this world but are always up for it in the FA Cup and you have to do a professional job.

“When these ties come out people think they should be easy but these sides treat them as Cup finals and are out to shock you.

“This year we have had similar opposition in the Cup and have gone about our business in the right manner.”

The FA Cup games must have been eagerly anticipated growing up in Ireland.

“They were on the BBC and ITV back home and I loved watching.

“It was a big competition back then and it is good to see that the big teams are still taking it seriously.”

It has taken Paddy less than two years to reach second place in Fleetwood’s EFL goal scoring charts, with only David Ball ahead of him.

“The Irishman is currently on thirtyfour goals from 85 games, only seven behind Ball who has played over twice as many games.

“Fingers crossed, I don’t get any injuries and the goals keep coming. Then I can break that record as soon as I can. I’ve got my eyes on the prize, that’s for sure!”

The 29 year-old is also closing in on a century of appearances in all competitions, with forty-two goals in all competitions at the time of writing.

“I’ve loved every minute so far and would have settled for that many goals approaching a hundred games.”

He has targeted twenty goals for this season, currently well-placed on seventeen.

“I won’t get too carried away by that.

I predicted the same last season and couldn’t get off nineteen!”

The three second half goals against Burton Albion back in October 2019 was a special occasion, his first hat-trick in senior football.

A volley from a Lewie Coyle cross was followed by a header and the crowning glory came from a one-on-one with the keeper in the closing minutes.

“Yes, I didn’t think it was coming that day. I’ve had a lot of braces throughout my career, about fifteen I reckon.”

He joins an exclusive Fleetwood club comprising Jon Parkin (twice in 2012-13), Steven Schumacher (2013) and Antoni Sarcevic (2013), all having scored EFL hat-tricks.

“Is that so? It’s a nice club to be in but I’ll be trying to get another entry, don’t you worry!”

His 100th EFL goal came in August in the home draw against Wycombe Wanderers, a typically instinctive reaction from a goalkeeping error.

“I knew I was getting close to the ton but didn’t realise it was on the day.

“I was just happy to get over the line. It was late in the game and I was glad to rescue a point for us.”

Is there a Fleetwood favourite?

“I’d have to go for the chest and volley at Shrewsbury Town.

“It is not my usual type of goal. I’m not one for spectacular goals, I’m usually just in the right place at the right time in the box.”

And elsewhere?

“Obviously the Wembley goal for Yeovil is one

I’ll never forget.

“That was in the League One play-off final when we beat Brentford.

“For Scunny, probably the volley against Burton Albion back in March 2014.”

Burton were sunk by a fierce right foot shot onto the top corner from the edge of the penalty area. It was the only goal in a contest between third and fifth in the table at the time.

“I think my strength is never to go to sleep in the box, to expect the unexpected.

“Find the space where it matters and make the most of it.”

This season there have been more appearances from the bench than in previous seasons with Fleetwood.

“Through my career I’m not used to coming off the bench.

“It’s hard to come on into a game and score but I’ve done it a few times recently.

“I’ll always back myself to score whether I’m starting or not.

“The fans have backed me from the start and shown faith and that’s an important reason why I’ve hit the ground running at Fleetwood.

“I’d like to thank them for that. Life away from football is a lot more chilled than when I first started playing.

“I’m settled with my missus and two dogs near Ribby Hall and like nothing more than walking with them or paying a bit of golf out in the fresh air! My partying days are definitely over!

“With nearly a hundred games under my belt I’ve got to know some of the lads really well.

“I’m good friends with the likes of Coyley and Ash Eastham. Then there’s Josh Morris who I got to know at Scunthorpe.

“Josh and I did well together at Scunny. We know each other’s movements and have scored over twenty goals between us this season.

“This move was an important one for me. I’d fallen down the pecking order at Scunthorpe and didn’t get chance to prove my worth.

“I jumped at the chance to do it in League One again and I’ve taken it!”

Playing for the likes of Carlisle and Yeovil has meant many hours of coach travel over the years.

How does Paddy wile away the time these days?

“After the Crawley game recently we had what seemed like about six hours on the coach.

“I’m not a big television watcher so a little game of cards usually passes the time me me nicely.

“Ched, Couttsy, Danny and I play a game called Trumps. It makes a change from gazing out of the window!”

JOE FLEETWOOD HEAD OF COMMERCIAL

joe fleetwood Head of Commercial

Hello and welcome back to Highbury for today’s Emirates FA Cup Third Round tie between Fleetwood Town and Portsmouth. As I said in my notes from the Sunderland programme, I hope you all had a great New Year with your families and friends!

This is the third year in a row that we’ve been to this stage but today’s game could go down in Cod Army history as a win would see us go to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup for the first time! So make sure to cheer on the lads throughout the game!

I would like to welcome today’s sponsors, Prestons Jewellers. This is the first time they have sponsored a match here at Highbury, so I hope that they enjoy their day, and experience, in hospitality.

CONTACT OUR COMMERCIAL MANAGER, JOE FLEETW0OD, BY EITHER RINGING 01253 775080 (OPTION 2) OR EMAILING JOE. FLEETWOOD@FLEETWOODTOWNFC.COM

THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS V SUNDERLAND

MATCH Sponsor PRESTONS JEWELLERS Today’s match sponsor is Prestons Jewellers. The Prestons story is as relevant today as it has been over the decades. A forward thinking business with a rich heritage that, since 1869, has only ever been owned by two families.

Their four showrooms in Guildford, Leeds and Wilmslow showcase the world’s finest watch houses in Patek Philippe, Rolex and Tudor alongside an exquisite selection of fine diamond, coloured gemstone and bespoke jewellery.

Over the years’ generations of families have become customers of Prestons and many have become friends.

Today, their teams look forward to welcoming both new and existing clients to our showrooms in Surrey, Cheshire and Leeds.

GETTING TO KNOW KIAN MAKEPEACE

We can all take simple actions to look after our mental health and it only takes a minute to get started, whether that be looking after your own wellbeing or reaching out to support a friend or family member.

This is why, as part of the Heads Up campaign, all Emirates FA Cup Third Round games will be delayed by one minute to encourage fans to ‘Take A Minute’ to think about mental health.

We’ve teamed up with NHS’ Every Mind Matters so you can create your free, personalised Mind Plan, designed to help you deal with stress, boost your mood, improve your sleep and help you feel more in control.

We’ve also collaborated with our charity partners Mind, CALM and Sporting Chance to provide some simple guidance on the first steps you can take to improve your own mental health and wellbeing.

And it only takes a minute to get started.

COMMUNITY TRUST HOST CHRISTMAS DINNER AT HIGHBURY FOR LOCAL CHARITY!

WHAT A YEAR FOR OUR NATIONAL CITIZEN SERVICE PROGRAMME!

Fleetwood Town Community Trust gave a festive gift to local charity, The Mustard Seed Group, when they invited over 100 people to Highbury Stadium for a delicious Christmas dinner on the Monday before Christmas.

The club’s food and beverage suppliers kindly donated all of the food for the occasion, and the meal was prepared and served by Community Trust employees with a little help from the chefs, who all pulled together to spread some Christmas cheer and make it a special experience for everyone.

There was entertainment throughout the afternoon, including a Christmas quiz, a free tombola, karaoke, and the Community Trust’s Sports College students performed a nativity play that they put together themselves.

The Mustard Seed Group is an outreach charity for those who are lonely, vulnerable, in crisis or people experiencing short term difficulties and complications to their lives.

The two NCS programmes we have run this year have been a real success, with over 80 students graduating!

This year we delivered to a range of students at Myerscough College in Preston. The programme is spilt into three phases, which sees the students take part in an adventure week, a life skills week, and a social action week.

Our two groups went to different locations for week one. The first group went to Whithaugh Park, with the second group going to Tower Wood in Windermere for a week of action packed activities.

Week two saw the students focus on life skills, before the final phase seeing all work together to raise money for a local charity.

Over £500 was raised between the two with one being a sponsored bike ride, the other being a local car wash service all in aid for helping the homeless on the Fylde Coast.
