gaffer’snotes Good evening and welcome to our third game in a week at Highbury as week take on Shrewsbury Town.

We go into tonight’s game on the back of a pleasing result on Saturday, it was a game I felt we dominated for the majority and in the end we got the result we deserved.

My players pushed themselves to the limit, played with smiles on their faces and got the rewards with a very important three points.

Tonight’s game gives us another opportunity on our home pitch, where we have an excellent record, to build on the positive recent results and performances.

In the last two games we have had to dig deep in periods to get the results we wanted.

Like in all games at this level, over the 90 minutes there will be periods where things go well, but also periods where you have to dig deep. It’s those periods which will determine where you finish in the league and character is always defined by how people react to those tough periods in games.

“Our players have shown all season we have the ability to bounce back” Saying that, our players have shown all season we have the ability to bounce back when it’s needed and we go into tonight’s game in good spirit and in real confidence.

0844 5678 427 Mon-Fri, 8.30am-5.30pm

Tonight’s opponents had a change of manager recently and since he arrived the team are playing with good energy and have shown real improvement.

With that in mind we have to show the same qualities which I’ve spoken about above and will have to play at our limit to give ourselves a chance of winning the game.

I’d like to welcome Paul Hurst, along with his players, directors and fans to Highbury and wish them all a safe journey home.

Enjoy the game,

GEORGEGLENDON GEORGE’S FOOTBALLING FAMILY TREE

By David Mitchell George Glendon was playing football almost before starting school. He was born into a footballing family.

Father, Kevin, earned his trade as a player in the 1980s, then as manager.

“Dad played for quite a few clubs in the north-west before managing Radcliffe Borough for twenty years.

He often came across Fleetwood with the likes of Radcliffe, Hyde and Mossley in the non-league days so I remember Highbury as it used to be. He has always been there for me with great advice and knows the game. If we got in the car after a match and it was a quiet journey home I knew that I had had a bad game!”

It didn’t take long for George to be noticed.

“I started at Manchester City when I was five! I had been spotted playing in the JJB Soccerdome. I would train with City every Friday, then on different nights for different age groups. At U14 level I started taking time out of school once a week, then twice before working up to every day. My family are all big City fans. My hero was Eyal Berkovic, then Elano and now it’s David Silva.”

George started with the City U21 Elite Development Squad at the age of seventeen. He worked under Patrick Vieira.

“My hero was Eyal Berkovic, then Elano and now it’s David Silva” 44 || WWW.FLEETWOODTOWN.COM WWW.FLEETWOODTOWN.COM

“I played some of my best football for Vieira. He believed in me, gave me freedom to express myself and made me captain. That showed real trust and I will always be grateful. I’m not the biggest talker but the way I play and get on the ball was probably a lot to do with getting the armband. We played all the top clubs and in the mini-Champions League against whoever the first team were playing.”

The experience gave George the chance to train alongside the first team, including his hero Silva.

“We trained at the same side of the complex and at the same time in case they called us over. I got to see a lot of them. Everyone said that if you were on Silva’s team you always won! I found the top stars very approachable and they gave me sound advice which helped improve my game. Training with these players shows you how focused you have to be and how hard you have to train to get to the top.”

On the first day of pre-season in 2015, George was told he was selected for City’s summer tour, destination Australia.

“It was a proud moment. A lot of my teammates were involved as well because some of the first team were just returning after international commitments. After coming all the way through the ranks, I made my first team debut in Adelaide.”

International opportunities have also come George’s way.

“My debut for England U16s was another proud moment. It was against Northern Ireland in the Victory Shield. Wales U21 came looking through Dad being Welsh. I was selected for the squad to play Bulgaria in March 2015 but pulled out because of injury.”

Fleetwood Town have given George the chance to experience football beyond the club he has been associated with for sixteen years. He believes that it will be valuable in his development “I hadn’t been on loan previously which put other clubs off. With Fleetwood I was impressed with the facilities and by the way the team plays. I’ve been given the chance to get used to football in a different way. It was a slow start but things are beginning to happen. You never know when you have to be ready and Jimmy Ryan’s injury gave me a chance. The Carlisle game in the EFL Cup showed the manager that I could handle myself against a decent league side on good form. Now I have made my first appearances in the Football League and FA Cup. I feel that my career is beginning to kick on.’

TheVisitors INTRODUCING SHREWSBURY Paul Hurst brings his Shrewsbury side to the Fylde Coast today for a Sky Bet Football League One game against Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium.

2016/17 season form: w 3 d 5 l 10 Shrewsbury have had a tricky start to their season but they seem to be coming out of that stint with their new manager Paul Hurst.

Hurst’s side have only won three out of their 18 matches in Sky Bet League One so far which leaves them fighting at the foot of the table with Saturday’s opponents Chesterfield.

Their last result was a 2-1 loss away to Sheffield United where Billy Sharp and Stefan Scougall sunk the Salop.

The man to watch tonight is Ivan Toney. The loanee striker from Newcastle United has begged himself six goals so far this campaign and will be looking for more in tonight’s game against Town.

name: ANDY PILLEY job: CLUB CHAIRMAN

By David Mitchell During Andy Pilley’s time as Chairman, the matchday operation at Highbury has grown out of all proportion. However, the importance of making it a quality experience remains a priority.

His own day begins at around 12:30 when he heads the short distance from his car to the front door of the stadium. There are hands to shake and a traditional bear hug from doorman Tony Barlow. The front of the stadium will already be a hive of activity.

“I will see autograph hunters and people wanting to catch a glimpse of the players. This didn’t happen in the old days and shows how far we have come. My first stop is normally the ticket office as there may be several special guests I have to arrange tickets for. It could be a visiting manager or a business associate. After that I will walk round the stadium checking that everything is as it should be. We constantly strive for excellence and need to have every detail in place. Modifications are made on a regular basis.

A recent example is the new Signing Zone in Jim’s Bar.” As well as entertaining his own guests in the Parkside Stand, the Chairman recognises the importance of meeting and greeting more widely.

“One pleasurable part of my day is to mingle with opposing directors. You can find out a lot about practices at other clubs as well as about players.

I enjoy my visits to the Board Room where Phil Brown and his team are excellent hosts. It’s

always nice to catch up with footballing people such as Barry Fry.” Come the match, the Chairman looks down from the Parkside and lives every moment.

“I kick every ball! I can control the match day experience up to a point but what makes the football so magical is the uncertainty. Nobody knows how it will pan out. Hopefully, we will win and I will probably stay until half past six or seven o’clock. One thing I like to do is to find out the thoughts of visiting supporters and will make time to do that. I have had many positive reactions about what we provide. Many wish they had a facility like Jim’s Bar.” For Andy Pilley, matchday has always been an addictive experience.

“I love everything about it from the smell of Bovril and the deep heat that the players apply to the noise of the crowd! I often sit and think fondly of times past. The old stand behind the Highbury is a reminder of those days. There is a lot more to adhere to now with Ground Grading but it is still as vital that fans leave after the game and become walking adverts for our club.”

GRASS PITCHES

AD PAGE

Since 2000, the Football Foundation has invested in £1.3 billion of grassroots sports projects and has developed more than 600 artificial grass pitches, 1,000 changing pavilions and 3,000 natural grass pitches.

The Premier League Girls Football programme is run jointly by the Premier League, Sport England, The FA and Football League Trust to encourage more females aged between 11 – 25 to take part in football.

The sessions have been delivered by 87 clubs from the Premier League and Football League.

The PL programme has already seen over 200 girls engaged in the several different project and events over the last few months including over 160 in our primary and secondary girls football festival for part of FA Girls Football Week.

A Fleetwood Town Girls under 18’s football team has been established for those who want to play more competitive football. The programme will see an additional 100 or more girls engaged over the next 12 months.

The programme will see 5 satellite clubs at school and community venues across Wyre, and also offers opportunities to play in football tournaments and represent Fleetwood Town against other football clubs across the country.

While the emphasis of the programme is on increasing participation, it works closely with the club’s Girls Football Clubs which play in a more competitive environment.

Talented players from the programme could make it through to teams and even representing Fleetwood Town at Youth Level.

COACH'S THOUGHTS

Proud partner of Blue C100 M89 Y0 K0) Red C3 M100 Y70 K12)

Under 18’s coach Nathan rooney had this to say about BILLY CRELLIN. “Billy is a first year, really dominant goalkeeper which we signed last year. What we signed at the end of last season is now what we see once again. No major dip in Billy’s performances, just a confident lad around the group, a strong boy, all his jobs are always done really early and always respectful around the facility. Played the majority of the under 18’s games, kept a few clean sheets along the way but also as a footballer if anyone’s required outfield you’d probably put Billy out there as well because he’s actually got two good feet on him. Overall flying at the moment. ”
