TODAY WE WELCOME HEBBURN TOWN TO INGFIELD WHO, HAVING FINISHED A RESPECTABLE 13TH IN THEIR FIRST SEASON IN THE NPL HAVE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING THIS YEAR AND SIT SECOND IN THE TABLE GOING INTO THIS GAME AND LIKE OURSELVES REACHED THE 3RD QUALIFYING ROUND OF THE FA TROPHY BEFORE BOWING OUT TO WARRINGTON TOWN.

THE AWAY GAME AT HEBBURN LAST SEASON WAS ONE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE, BUT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GLOWING REPORT ON THE CLUB AND THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE TO THEIR FACILITIES AND I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR VISIT NEXT FEBRUARY.

WE ARE RIGHTLY VERY PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE HERE AT INGFIELD, AND I HOPE ALL FROM HEBBURN TOWN ENJOY THEIR VISIT.

FINAL PREPARATIONS ARE TAKING PLACE FOR OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY BONFIRE EVENT THAT TAKES PLACE ON FRIDAY 4 NOVEMBER,

JAMES ROGERS , CHAIRMAN

ALWAYS TICKET SALES HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT AND IF YOU HAVEN’T GOT YOURS THEN ACT FAST, AS AT THE TIME OF WRITING WE ARE DOWN TO THE 10% OF TICKETS AVAILABLE.

ICK SMITH HAS ONCE AGAIN ORGANISED A SPECTACULAR EVENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE FIREWORK DISPLAY WILL BE THE ENVY OF MANY OTHER EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE!

THERE WILL BE THE USUAL FACILITIES

AVAILABLE WITH CAN BARS, CAFÉ AND A BARBECUE TO KEEP YOU HYDRATED AND FULL OF STRENGTH!

TUESDAY SEE’S THE START OF THE FINAL CUP COMPETITION OF THE SEASON AS WE TRAVEL TO NCEL SIDE KNARESBOROUGH

TOWN IN THE WEST RIDING COUNTY CUP, A COMPETITION THAT WE BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE REACHING THE LATTER STAGES OF EACH SEASON. COUNTY FA HAVE RECENTLY CONDUCTED A SURVEY WITH CLUBS AND IT HAS BEEN AGREED GOING FORWARD THE FINAL WILL BE PLAYED AT THE GROUND OF ONE OF THE TWO FINALISTS AS WAS THE CASE HERE V GUISELEY A FEW YEARS AGO.

ENJOY THE GAME

GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO HIGH FLYING HEBBURN , WE WISH YOU A SAFE ONWARD JOURNEY.

IT ’S GOOD TO BE BACK AT HOME AFTER TWO LONG JOURNEYS ON THE ROAD , TWO DISAPPOINTING RESULTS ALTHOUGH WE WERE BEAT IN BOTH GAMES I COULD SEE POSITIVES IN THE FA TROPHY BUT UNFORTUNATELY I COULDN ’T V SHILDON ON TUESDAY NIGHT .

AFTER A RUN OF POSITIVE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCES WE HAVE STUTTERED IN THE LAST TWO AND TODAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THAT RIGHT AGAINST ONE OF THE FAVOURED TEAMS IN THE DIVISION . HEBBURN HAVE SIGNED WELL THROUGHOUT DANNY MOORE ’S TENURE , PLAYERS SIGNING FROM STEP 3 AS WELL AS

JAS COLLIVER

KEEPING HOLD OF THE STRONG SQUAD FROM LAST SEASON .

EVERYONE CAN SEE WE ARE SHORT ON NUMBERS WITH 9 PLAYERS BEING UNAVAILABLE IN THE LAST TWO GAMES AND THAT ’S WITHOUT MENTIONING ROSSI, NELLY AND IFY WHO HAVE RECENTLY MOVED ON .

IT ’S IMPORTANT WE HAVE A SQUAD WHICH IS COMPETITIVE EVEN WHEN WE HAVE SET BACKS THE LADS NEED TO BELIEVE IN THEIR SELVES AND GRIND OUT A RESULT .

TUESDAY NIGHT WAS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE SHOULD GRIND A RESULT OUT EVEN WHEN WE HAVEN ’T PLAYED WELL, THE LADS WERE GUTTED SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE A REACTION TODAY.

TODAY WE CAN WELCOME BACK HARRY

GAGEN AND LUKE ALDRICH AFTER INJURY

AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY WE HAVE EXTENDED THE LOAN OF LUKE HOGG BY ANOTHER MONTH . HE HAS BEEN EVER PRESENT SINCE HE SIGNED AND HAS GOT STRONGER WITH EACH GAME PLAYED .

TAKE CARE AND ENJOY THE GAME .

T PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS

NEVILLE WIGGLESWORTH

IT WAS A LENGTHY MIDWEEK TRIP UP TO THE NORTH EAST LAST TUESDAY EVENING BUT THE OCCUPANTS IN THE CAR IN WHICH I WAS TRAVELLING WERE FULL OF OPTIMISM AS WE MADE OUR WAY UP THE A1 AND NOT LEAST AS OUR OPPONENTS, SHILDON, HAD PREVIOUSLY SUFFERED SEVEN DEFEATS ON THE SPIN AND HAD FAILED TO SCORE A SINGLE GOAL IN THEIR PREVIOUS FIVE OUTINGS. A WIN WOULD PUT US ON THE FRINGE OF THE PLAY-OFF PLACES AND, WITH THEIR RECENT TRACK RECORD, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

NINETY MINUTES LATER WE WERE LEFT WONDERING WHAT WE HAD JUST WITNESSED. I DON’T THINK ANYONE COULD BELIEVE WHAT THEY HAD JUST SEEN. THE GAME ITSELF WAS A POOR ADVERT INDEED FOR NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE

FOOTBALL GENERALLY AND THE FEW DIE-HARDS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE END WERE LEFT WONDERING HOW OUR TEAM COULD HAVE PLAYED SO POORLY AGAINST A SIDE THAT WERE MEDIOCRE AT BEST BUT, IT HAS TO BE CONCEDED, WERE BETTER THAN US ON THE NIGHT. I THINK IT’S THE FIRST TIME I’VE ATTENDED A FOOTBALL MATCH AND WITNESSED THE TEAM I SUPPORT ACTUALLY COLLECT MORE YELLOW CARDS THAN THEY MANAGED SHOTS AT GOAL!

HE JOURNEY BACK TO OSSETT WAS SUBDUED TO THE LEAST WITH THE OVERRIDING FEELING BEING THAT WE COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE THAT BAD AGAIN AND THAT THINGS CAN ONLY IMPROVE FROM HEREON. MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST ATTRIBUTE THE PERFORMANCE TO ‘A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE’, THESE THINGS HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME, AND GET BACK TO PLAYING THE WAY WE CAN WHEN WE ARE ON SONG. HAVING GONE OUT OF THE FA TROPHY AWAY AT RUNCORN LINNETS LAST SATURDAY WE MUST PLAY BETTER AND LIFT OUR PERFORMANCES IF OUR SEASON ISN’T TO BE ALL BUT OVER BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

I’M CONVINCED WE HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL TALENT WITHIN OUR RANKS TO COME BACK FROM THIS BUT I GENUINELY THINK IT’LL BE SOME WHILE BEFORE WE FORGET THIS ONE. THE BEST WAY TO GET THIS OUT OF OUR SYSTEM, HOWEVER, IS TO PERFORM WELL THIS AFTERNOON AGAINST ANOTHER NORTH EAST CLUB WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY FLYING AT THE MOMENT. HEBBURN TOWN ARRIVE HERE AT INGFIELD THIS AFTERNOON LYING SECOND BEHIND STOCKTON TOWN WITH 21 POINTS FROM THEIR 10 LEAGUE GAMES TO DATE. A REPEAT OF LAST SEASON’S 2 – 1 VICTORY HERE, COURTESY OF A BRACE FROM NASH CONNOLLY, WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS OUTCOME AND ONE THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY GO AN AWFUL LONG WAY TO REVIVING FLAGGING SPIRITS AND GIVING OUR SEASON A

THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS

WELCOME SHOT IN THE ARM. WE HAVE, OF COURSE, KNOWN FOR DONKEY’S YEARS HOW STRONG THE NORTHERN LEAGUE TEAMS ARE AND NOW, HAVING NO FEWER THAN SIX CLUBS IN OUR DIVISION SINCE THE LAST RE-ORGANISATION OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE SYSTEM, WE COME UP AGAINST THEM ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS MAKING THE COMPETITION IN DIVISION ONE EAST ALL THE MORE CHALLENGING.

OF THOSE SIX CLUBS CURRENTLY THREE OF THEM

OCCUPY THE TOP THREE PLACES IN THE TABLE (STOCKTON TOWN, HEBBURN TOWN AND CONSETT). DUNSTON ARE SIXTH AND NORTH SHIELDS ARE ELEVENTH WITH ONLY SHILDON IN THE BOTTOM FOUR ALL OF WHICH CLEARLY ILLUSTRATES MY ASSERTION ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF CLUBS IN

THE NORTH EAST REGION.

OFF THE FIELD GROUND IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROCEEDING AT A PACE WITH OUR EMPHASIS CURRENTLY ON TIDYING UP THE FAR SIDE OF THE GROUND BEHIND THE DUGOUTS. THERE’S STILL PLENTY TO BE DONE BUT HOPEFULLY WHEN ALL THE PROJECTS ARE FULLY COMPLETED SUPPORTERS WILL NOTICE A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN THAT AREA.

WE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO INGFIELD TO THE DIRECTORS, OFFICIALS, MANAGEMENT, PLAYERS AND NOT LEAST THE SUPPORTERS OF HEBBURN TOWN. WE HOPE THEY ENJOY THEIR VISIT TO OSSETT UNITED AND TAKE AWAY WITH THEM A POSITIVE IMPRESSION OF OUR CLUB.

FOOTBALL BOOK REVIEWS

AS GEORGE GRAHAM ’S TENURE COMES TO AN END, WE HEAR OF THE ACADEMY GRADUATES WHO SHOULD BE READY FOR SLOWING BLEEDING INTO THE FIRST TEAM . THE FUTURE AS CREATED AND PREPARED BY THE LEGENDARY HOWARD WILKINSON . ONE OF GRAHAM ’S PROTEGEES, DAVID O’LEARY STEPS FORWARD TO TAKE TEMPORARY CHARGE OF THE FIRST TEAM . DEVASTATED BY HIS LEAVING GEORGE GRAHAM SUCCESSOR NEEDED TO BRING SOMETHING TO THE TERRACES. DEAN TOOK TO HIM , LIKE THE ELLAND ROAD FAITHFUL, READILY AND HEARTILY . HE WAS INSTANTLY BRINGING EXCITEMENT ONTO THE PITCH WHICH WAS FELT THROUGHOUT THE TERRACING . AS A YOUNG MAN , DEAN GREW WITH HIS TEAM AND THE PROGRESS OF THE CLUB IS EXCITINGLY TOLD AS O’LEARY WENT FROM NOT WANTING THE JOB , THROUGH AN ELLAND ROAD EPIPHANY WHERE THEY SANG HIS NAME, TO MAKING THE JOB , HIS OWN . FOR THOSE OF US FROM AFAR , O’LEARY BECAME , NOT ANOTHER TRACKSUIT MANAGER , BUT THE MANAGER WHO HAD A COAT THAT LOOKED LIKE A DUVET ! WE THOUGHT LEEDS MUST HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY BITTERLY COLD…

THE WARMTH FROM TERRACE TO DUGOUT WAS TO KEEP THINGS TICKING ALONG AS EUROPE WAS NOW A THING , AND THE FAITHFUL WANTED IT TO BE A BIG THING . THE UEFA CUP, THE CHAMPION ’S LEAGUE AND PROGRESS IN EACH WAS EMERGING AS AN EXPECTATION . SUCH EXPECTATIONS NEEDED MORE THAN ACADEMY GRADUATES. IT NEEDED FUNDED AND LEEDS BEGAN TO SPEND.

PERHAPS HERE THE PARALLELS WITH GLASGOW RANGERS BEGAN TO EMERGE FOR ME. AS I READ, I COULD HEAR THE FAITH PUT IN PEOPLE WHO “KNEW ” BUSINESS. THEY HAD SPENDING , THE LIKES OF WHICH FANS COULD NOT CONTEMPLATE BUT WERE CONTENT THAT THEY WERE COMPETING WITH OTHER BIGGER CLUBS IN A TRANSFER

MARKET THAT WAS BECOMING A BASKET CASE . ORDINARY , RUN OF THE MILL, DECENT PROFESSIONALS WERE COMMANDING FINANCE EVEN THEIR MOBILE NUMBERS WERE DWARFED BY . IT BROUGHT LIMITED SUCCESS AND A GLOOMY HORIZON .

TELLING THE STORY , DEAN ’S STRUCTURE TAKES EACH SEASON FROM 1998/99 TO 2001/02 AND DESCRIBES THEM IN SOME DETAIL WITH SIGNIFICANT MATCHES AS SUBHEADINGS. AT TIMES I FOUND THAT SOME OF THE SUMMARIES OF GAMES IN BETWEEN EACH OF THESE SIGNIFICANT FIXTURES A LITTLE LESS THAN SATISFYING AS THERE WERE GAMES I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT – THE EQUALLING OF DON REVIE’S 7 WINS IN A ROW FOR EXAMPLE. BUT THEN THE DETAIL AS A FAN , WHICH IS THE PRINCIPAL FOCUS OF DEAN ’S NARRATIVE, DRAWS YOU BACK . THIS IS NOT A HISTORY LESSON , BUT THE REFLECTION OF A FAN OF FOLLOWING THEIR CLUB , TELLING THEIR STORY , IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CLUB ’S HISTORY . AS SUCH IT IS FASCINATING , AND I COULD FIND PARALLELS WITH MY OWN – FAR MORE MODEST –EXPERIENCES. AS A FAN ’S BOOK , IT IS THEREFORE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. IT ADDS COLOUR TO THE SPECTACLE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT HAS A VERY STRONG HANDLE ON THE EXPERIENCES OF FOOTBALL AS PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AS A SUPPORTER WHO WILL LIVE ON BEYOND THE COVERS. AND SO THE REMINISCENCES FLOW , FROM MATCH OF THE DAY IN THE 90’S, TRYING TO GET TO THE BASEBALL GROUND BEFORE KICK -OFF, THE LACK OF INSTANT NEWS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD OF O’LEARY ’S REIGN , THE NAMES OF PLAYERS THAT CAME, THEY SAW , AND CONQUERED ELLAND ROAD – KEWELL, VIDUKA, MATTEO, HASSELBAINK , FERDINAND, BOWYER , HOPKIN AND MANY , MANY MORE , THE EMERGENCE OF SKY , CHAIRMAN PETER RIDSDALE’S AMBITIONS WHICH DEAN SUGGESTS “HAD NO CEILING ”, A UEFA CUP RUN , CHASING A CHAMPION ’S LEAGUE SPOT , A CHAMPION ’S

THE O’LEARY YEARS: FOOTBALL’S GREATEST BOOM AND BUST BY ROCCO DEAN

FOOTBALL BOOK REVIEWS

LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL, MISTIMED INTER TOTO APPLICATION , HOW THE CHEEKINESS OF A FATHER CAN GET YOU AN AWAY TICKET OR TWO, EVEN FROM THE BOSS, BEATING BESIKTAS 6-0, THE INFLUENCE OF THE GEEZER ’S GUIDE TO FOOTBALL , O’LEARY ’S NOSE JOB AND THE EVENTUAL DISILLUSIONMENT WITH THE TEAM AS O’LEARY CRASHED AND THE TEAM BURNED IN SEASON 2001/02. HE THEN PROCEEDS A MUCH SMALLER CHAPTER TO END THE TALE OF THE CLUB AS THE CRASH WAS FOLLOWED BY THE ABYSS.

DEAN DOES NOT MISS THE NEGATIVES. THE EFFECTS OF THE DEATH OF FANS IN TURKEY * SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN . THE WAY THAT SOME FOOTBALL CLUBS HAD FANS WHO TRIED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS EVENT , GOADING LEEDS FANS BY CHANTING AT THEM IN GLEE AT THE DEATHS OF THESE FANS IS A STAIN AGAINST WHICH WE SHOULD ALL PROTEST . THE ARRESTS AND TRIALS OF LEEDS PLAYERS OVER A FIGHT ON A NIGHT OUT IS COVERED BUT THIS IS NOT A BOOK WITH INSIGHT IN THE DRESSING ROOM . THE EFFECT OF ONE PLAYER GIVING EVIDENCE AGAINST ANOTHER IS EXPLAINED AND EXPRESSED FROM THE DISTANCE AFFORDED BY A FAN ’S LOVE OF HIS CLUB . IT IS NOT A FIST AND TELL ACCOUNT. HOW THAT ENDED UP BEING A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN THE CLUB FAILING TO MAKE IT TO THE ELITE IN EUROPE IS HOWEVER MORE THAN SOMEWHAT MENTIONED. FINALLY , THE NATURE OF O’LEARY ’S OWN LITERARY ATTEMPTS IS SEEN AS A GREAT MISTAKE AS O’LEARY ’S RELATIONSHIPS WITH EVERYONE SEEMED TO DIVE. THE BOOK HE HAD PUBLISHED, COVERING HIS LEEDS TIME , IS NOT A PRECURSOR TO SKY STYLE DOCUMENTARIES FOLLOWING GUARDIOLA , ARTETA , SUNDERLAND AND THE LIKE. IT WAS AN ODD THING TO DO, ESPECIALLY AS HE WAS STILL AT LEEDS. ITS ODDNESS IS HIGHLIGHTED AS THE MONEY SPENT ON PLAYERS BEGINS TO UNRAVEL . THE QUALITY OF THE SQUAD BEGINS TO SUFFER , AND THE WRITING BEGINS TO BE DRAFTED ONTO AN ELLAND ROAD WALL.

DEAN ’S STRUCTURE ALSO TENDS TO DWELL ON THE SETUP, SO THE DEMISE HAS LESS ATTENTION AND FOCUS. FOR AN OBSERVER THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE BUT FOR THE FAN THAT IS THE TRAGEDY . THE DROPPING INTEREST , AND THE SPARSITY OF DETAIL MIRRORS THE DISILLUSIONMENT FELT BY DEAN TOWARDS THE END. IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE AND, AGAIN , AS A TESTIMONY OF A WITNESS TO THE EMOTIONAL EFFECT OF THE EXPERIENCE THIS IS A VERY GOOD ONE. AS A HISTORY OF THE CLUB , IT STILL ADDS SIGNIFICANTLY. THE INSIGHT OF A FAN IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT , IF NOT MORE SO, OVER A GIVEN TIME , TO THAT OF ANY PLAYER . DEAN HAS GIVEN US A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO UNDERSTANDING WHY MONEY IN FOOTBALL SHOULD BE CAUTIOUSLY WELCOMED. THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW WE ENDED UP WITH A TEAM TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE AT THE DAWN OF A NEW CENTURY AND THEN OUT IN A WILDERNESS SOME TWENTY YEARS LATER AWAITING AN ARGENTINIAN MESSIAH AND IT IS FASCINATING . THERE WERE A COUPLE OF MOMENTS WHICH SERVED, FOR ME, AS INDICATIONS OF THE THRUST OF THE REASONS AS TO WHY THIS TALE NEEDED TO BE TOLD. FIRSTLY , AS DEAN WRITES, “ … WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB OUR BELOVED MANAGER HAD DONE IN HIS FIRST TWO SEASONS IN MANAGEMENT , HE HAD OVERCOME THE CHAMPIONS OF SERBIA, RUSSIA, BELGIUM , ITALY AND SPAIN AND GOT THE BETTER OF LEGENDARY MANAGERS ALBERTO ZACCHERONI, SVENGORAN ERIKSON AND FABIO CAPELLO.” AND HE DID. IN THE LEEDS AGM OF 2001, PETER RIDSDALE, AS REPORTED BY DEAN , TOLD FANS, “I CAN ASSURE EVERYONE – SHAREHOLDERS AND SUPPORTERS ALIKE –THAT YOUR BOARD ARE MANAGING THE CLUB FOR SUSTAINED SUCCESS, AND THAT THE CLUB ’S LONG TERM FINANCIAL POSITION IS HEALTHY . ” IT WAS NOT .

THIS IS A SUPPORTER ’S TALE OF HOW THE WILKINSON MASTER PLAN IN DRAFT NEVER MADE IT , AND HOW FANS ENDURE MUCH BETTER .

OSSETT UNITED MEDIA PARTNER

THE FORMATION

OSSETT UNITED WAS CREATED ON THE 1ST JUNE 2018 FOLLOWING THE MERGER OF OSSETT TOWN AFC (EST. 1936) AND OSSETT ALBION AFC (EST. 1944). BOTH OSSETT TOWN AND OSSETT ALBION HAD MANAGED TO GAIN NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE STATUS AND MAINTAIN THAT LEVEL OF FOOTBALL FOR A REMARKABLE PERIOD OF TIME.

EARLY HISTORY

THE TWO CLUBS MERGED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF A NEW BOARD BROUGHT TOGETHER FROM THE TWO PREVIOUS CLUBS. THE FOUNDING DIRECTORS WERE JOHN CHIDLAW (OA), JAMES ROGERS (OT), EMMA CHIDLAW (OA), DAWN ROGERS (OT), LEE SUMMERSCALES (OA) AND LEE BROADBENT (OT) FORMING THE NEW BOARD WITH SUPPORT FROM PHIL SMITH AS CEO. JOHN CHIDLAW TOOK ON THE ROLE OF CHAIRMAN FOR THE FIRST SEASON. THE CLUB MADE ITS NEW HOME INGFIELD, THE PREVIOUS HOME OF OSSETT TOWN, AND USED DIMPLE WELLS, THE PREVIOUS HOME OF OSSETT ALBION, AS ITS LADIES AND ACADEMY TEAM BASE.

ON THE PITCH, THE FIRST YEAR (2018/19) WAS A REMARKABLE SUCCESS WITH ATTENDANCES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED FROM WHAT EITHER CLUB HAD EXPERIENCED PREVIOUSLY, COUPLED WITH SUCCESS ON THE PITCH REACHING THE PLAY-OFF SEMI-FINAL AND WINNING THE COUNTY CUP, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF MANAGER ANDY WELSH. OFF THE PITCH THINGS WERE NOT AS SUCCESSFUL WITH A NUMBER OF RESIGNATIONS AND BOARD CHANGES AND SOME CHALLENGING FINANCIAL ISSUES TO DEAL WITH FOLLOWING THE MERGER. BY THE END OF THE 2018/19 SEASON, PHIL SMITH HAD TAKEN ON THE MANTLE OF CLUB CHAIRMAN FOLLOWING A NUMBER OF BOARD CHANGES.

WAYNE BENN TOOK UP THE MANAGERIAL REIGNS IN LATE 2019 FOLLOWING A POOR START TO THE 2019/20 SEASON, HOWEVER, THAT SEASON WAS ENDED ABRUPTLY IN MARCH 2020 WITH THE ONSET OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC KNOWN AS COVID 19. THE SEASON WAS NULL AND VOIDED. OFF THE PITCH THERE WERE MORE TROUBLES FOR OSSETT UNITED IN NOVEMBER 2019 AS

A SIGNIFICANT AND UNPRECEDENTED COURT CASE, DATING BACK TO A TACKLE IN 2015 WHEN OSSETT TOWN WERE PLAYING RADCLIFFE BOROUGH, WAS LOST WITH UNITED FACING LEGAL AND DAMAGES COSTS AMOUNTING TO £135,000. FORTUNATELY, THE CLUB RECEIVED A GENEROUS LOAN FROM TWO OF ITS CLOSEST SUPPORTERS TO AVOID THE CLUB GOING INTO LIQUIDATION (AT WORST) OR SELLING THE INGFIELD GROUND (AT BEST).

THE START OF THE 2020/21 SEASON STARTED LATE DUE TO THE ONGOING PANDEMIC AND VIRTUALLY FINISHED AS SOON AS IT HAD STARTED WITH ONLY EIGHT LEAGUE GAMES HAVING BEEN PLAYED BY UNITED. THIS TIME THE SEASON WAS CURTAILED RATHER THAN NULL AND VOIDED AND MEANT A SECOND SEASON HAD GONE UNFINISHED. OFF THE PITCH ROGERS AND SMITH SWAPPED ROLES DUE TO SMITH'S WORK COMMITMENTS AND ROGERS TOOK ON THE ROLE AS CHAIRMAN, A ROLE HE HAD PREVIOUSLY HELD AT OSSETT TOWN. 2020 ALSO SAW THE CLUB DECLARE DIMPLE WELLS AS SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO SURRENDER THE LEASE MAKING INGFIELD THE SINGLE HOME OF THE UNITED CLUB.

2021/22

LAST SEASON SAW MANY CHANGES AT OSSETT UNITED BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. AFTER A STRONG START TO THE PITCHING IN NPL EAST SEASON A RUN OF ONLY ONE WIN IN THREE MONTHS SAW WAYNE BENN AND ANDY HAYWARD LEAVE THE CLUB IN DECEMBER. JAS COLLIVER AND MARK WARD WERE APPOINTED TO RE-IGNITE THE SEASON AND STRENGTHEN THE SQUAD WHICH THEY DID FROM DAY ONE. THE DUO SAW THE CLUB GO UNBEATEN AT HOME WITH 7 WINS AND DRAWS HOWEVER THE AWAY FORM CONTINUED TO BE IN CONSISTENT. OFF THE FIELD NEW DUGOUTS WERE INSTALLED, BEFORE THE ERECTION OF A NEW PITCH SIDE BARRIER FOLLOWED BY THE UPGRADING OF THE FLOODLIGHTS TO LED TO BRING THE FACILITIES TO A HIGH STANDARD.

COLLIVER AND WARD HAVE SPENT THE CLOSE SEASON WORKING HARD TO RETAIN PLAYERS FROM THE SQUAD AS WELL AS BRINGING IN REINFORCEMENTS TO STRENGTHEN THE SQUAD FURTHER AS THE CLUB LOOKS TO IMPROVE UPON THE NINTH PLACED FINISHED IN 21/22.

AT THE END OF AUGUST MARK WARD LEFT THE CLUB, CITING ONE VOICE WOULD BE BETTER THAN TWO IN THE MANAGERIAL POSITION. JAS COLLIVER ACTED QUICKLY TO BRING IN FORMER PLAYER ROSS KILLOCK AS FIRST TEAM COACH.

HEBBURN TOWN

HEBBURN WAS VERY DIFFERENT BACK IN 1912. THE COLLIERIES THAT HAD CHANGED IT FROM A SMALL AGRICULTURAL HAMLET TO A COSMOPOLITAN BUT PRETTY GRIMY INDUSTRIAL TOWN WERE NEARING PEAK EMPLOYMENT OF 1,864 MEN. THE SHIPYARDS

LAUNCHED BY ANDREW LESLIE WERE IN FULL VIGOUR. THE TOWN 11 YEARS EARLIER HAD WELCOMED A DIMINUTIVE FRENCHMAN CALLED ALPHONSE REYROLLE.

REYROLLE OPENED AN ENGINEERING WORKS, INITIALLY EMPLOYING JUST 50 MEN, IN THE FORMER DYE FACTORY NEXT TO ST ALOYSIUS'S CHURCH. AT ITS PEAK, REYROLLES WOULD EMPLOY 12,000 MEN FROM A WIDE RANGE OF BACKGROUNDS, RELIGIONS AND CULTURES, BECOMING FAMILIAR WORLDWIDE DUE TO EXPORTING TO 70 COUNTRIES.

THE COMPANY ALSO STARTED A FOOTBALL TEAM, ENCOURAGED BY INDUSTRIALIST AND MINE OWNER

SIR RALPH CARR-ELLISON, ANOTHER FAMOUS NAME IN HEBBURN HISTORY WHO PROVIDED THE SPORTS GROUND ON WHICH THE TEAM STILL PLAY ON. FOOTBALL HAS PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN THE LIFE OF THE TOWN - A CORNERSTONE OF ITS HISTORY. IT HELPED THE POPULATION FORGET THE HARSHNESS OF DAY-TO-DAY LIFE. WHEN THE LAST PIT CLOSED IN 1931, IT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF ALMOST 200 MEN AND BOYS.

OF COURSE, THERE'D BEEN PLENTY OF TEAMS BEFORE 1912, MOST NOTABLY HEBBURN ARGYLEKICKED OFF IN 1882 BY FATHER TONER, THE PRIEST OF ST ALOYSIUS'S. THE TOWN HAD SO MANY SCOTS, THEY BECAME KNOWN AS THE TYNESIDE HIGHLANDERS. PRE-WORLD WAR ONE, DERBIES WITH JARROW WOULD ATTRACT CROWDS OF 8,000.

THE GEORDIE TOWN ALSO HAD SHINTY AND CURLING CLUBS, AND EVEN AN ANNUAL HIGHLAND GAMES, ORGANISED BY THE HEBBURN CELTIC SOCIETY. ALPHONSE REYROLLE HAD ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED HIS WORKERS TO TAKE PART IN SPORT, INCLUDING BAREFOOT FOOTBALL, AND FORMED THE EMPLOYEES' BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. THE TEAM FORMED IN 1912, ELECTED TO THE SECOND DIVISION OF THE JARROW AND DISTRICT JUNIOR LEAGUE, WAS SUITABLY BOOTED HOWEVER.

THEY PROGRESSED, FLOURISHED IN THE 1930S, HAD A WARTIME SEASON IN THE NORTH EASTERN LEAGUE, WON THE DURHAM CHALLENGE CUP IN 1943, AND RETURNED TO THE NORTHERN COMBINATION WHERE THEY STAYED UNTIL 1958. IN 1959/60, REYROLLES HAD ANOTHER SEASON IN THE TERMINALLY AILING NORTH EASTERN LEAGUE BUT FINISHED BOTTOM WITH JUST EIGHT POINTS.

THE CLUB THEN HAD 28 SEASONS IN THE WEARSIDE LEAGUE, BEFORE WINNING THE LEAGUE IN 1966 AND MONKWEARMOUTH CUP IN 1968.

IN 1988, FOLLOWING THE DEMISE OF THE ICONIC ENGINEERING COMPANY A. REYROLLE, THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO HEBBURN, AND AN APPLICATION WAS MADE TO JOIN THE NORTHERN LEAGUETHOUGH IT WAS BEFORE THE DAYS OF AUTOMATIC PROMOTION AND RELEGATION, AND THERE WASN'T A VACANCY. THE GROUND WAS IMPROVED, AND OTHER CLUBS CANVASSED. THE BREAK, HOWEVER, CAME WHEN NORTH SHIELDS CREATED A VACANCY BY DECIDING TO PLAY ELSEWHERE. THE TEAM PLAYED ITS FIRST NORTHERN LEAGUE GAME ON AUGUST 19 1989, WINNING 2-1 AT SHOTTON COMRADES. THEY

THE HORNETS

WON PROMOTION AND THE DURHAM CHALLENGE

CUP IN 1992 BUT WERE RELEGATED CONTINUOUSLY FOR FAILING TO MEET GROUND CRITERIA. HEBBURN

WON THE CRAVEN CUP IN 2000.

IN 2011/12, HEBBURN REACHED THE FA CUP

FOURTH ROUND QUALIFYING - FACING GATESHEAD

AWAY, WHO WERE 125 LEAGUE PLACES ABOVE THE CLUB - AND SECURED PROMOTION TO NORTHERN

LEAGUE DIVISION ONE, HAVING FINISHED THIRD.

THE FOLLOWING CAMPAIGN, THE HORNETS MET THEIR TARGET OF AVOIDING RELEGATION, HOWEVER THE MANAGEMENT TEAM AND SQUAD MOVED TO

JARROW ROOFING IN THE SUMMER.

TWO EX-HEBBURN PLAYERS, SCOTT OLIVER AND

DAVY BELL, STARTED FROM SCRATCH.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE YOUTHFUL SQUAD WERE

UNABLE TO BEAT THE DROP, BUT GLIMPSES OF PROMISE DEFINITELY APPEARED.

AFTER FINANCIAL STRUGGLES THE YEAR BEFORE PROMOTION WITH AN AVERAGE ATTENDANCE OF AROUND 50 AND HAVING TO LAUNCH A CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE CLUB, IT LOOKED LIKE THE TIDES HAD CHANGED. SCOTT OLIVER'S SIDE FINISHED AS RUNNERS-UP IN THEIR RETURN TO DIVISION ONE, WITH MICHAEL RICHARDSON NOTCHING 25 GOALS.

THE CLUB ENJOYED A RUN IN THE BUILDBASE FA

VASE, BEATING CITY OF LIVERPOOL FC 4-0 IN

FRONT OF 1,302 PEOPLE. THE FIFTH ROUND WOULD SEE THE ATTENDANCE RECORD BROKEN AGAIN AS 1,310 PACKED THE GREEN ENERGY

SPORTS GROUND, THOUGH THE DAY FINISHED IN FAVOUR OF WEST AUCKLAND TOWN. IN MAY 2019, MANAGER SCOTT OLIVER STEPPED DOWN. KEVIN

BOLAM, WHO HAD BECOME THE CLUB'S RESERVE MANAGER A YEAR BEFOREHAND AND GUIDED THEM TO THE WEARSIDE LEAGUE TITLE, TOOK THE REINS.

BOLAM AND ASSISTANT MICK MULHERN ENJOYED A STRONG DEBUT CAMPAIGN ON SOUTH TYNESIDE, CHALLENGING NEAR THE TOP OF THE TABLE BEFORE THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK MEANT THE SEASON WAS VOIDED. THEY ALSO REACHED THE BUILDBASE FA

VASE FINAL, BEATING CORINTHIAN IN THE SEMIFINAL ON PENALTIES, BUT WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MAY 3 2021 TO GRACE THE WEMBLEY TURF.

AGAIN, THE 2020/21 CAMPAIGN WAS FULL OF LIFE FOR HEBBURN TOWN PRIOR TO CURTAILMENT BUT HAVING APPLIED FOR PROMOTION AT THE END OF THE SEASON, THEY JOINED TIER EIGHT - THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN THE CLUB'S HISTORY. KEVIN

BOLAM'S OUTFIT ALSO REACHED THE BUILDBASE FA

VASE QUARTER-FINAL FOR A SECOND TIME BUT LOST 1-0 TO EVENTUAL WINNERS WARRINGTON RYLANDS.

IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS, THE 2020 BUILDBASE FA VASE FINAL WAS STILL UP FOR GRABS. CONSETT WERE THE OPPONENTS IN A TENSE AND HISTORIC BATTLE BEHIND-CLOSED-DOORS. THE HORNETS WENT BEHIND TWICE IN A FRANTIC, FOUR-GOAL FIRST HALF AT WEMBLEY. HOWEVER HEBBURNBORN OLLY MARTIN CAME OFF THE BENCH TO SCORE THE WINNER ON 83 MINUTES, ROUNDING OFF A SPECIAL SEASON IN THE NORTH EAST.

HEBBURN'S FIRST SEASON IN THE PITCHING IN NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE CONCLUDED IN A 13TH-PLACED FINISH. THE SOUTH TYNESIDERS DID ENJOY AN EMIRATES FA CUP RUN AFTER UPSETTING ASHTON UNITED AND FACING YORK CITY AWAY, BUT KEVIN BOLAM WAS DISMISSED IN FEBRUARY 2022.

SHILDON BOSS DANIEL MOORE WAS APPOINTED AT THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN AFTER REACHING THE PLAY-OFFS WITH THE RAILWAYMEN.

EVERY 3-4 DAYS, AND ALL OF THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER THE SCHEDULE WAS COMPLETELY SPUN ON ITS HEAD BECAUSE OF COVID, WITH ONE SEASON ENDING IN JULY AND THE NEXT ONE STARTING JUST 6 WEEKS LATER.

IT STILL SEEMS STRANGE THINKING THERE IS A WORLD CUP ONLY A MONTH AWAY, IN NOVEMBER/DECEMBER, MID-SEASON.

SINCE THE QATAR WORLD CUP WAS ANNOUNCED IT HAS BEEN SHROUDED IN CONTROVERSY, FIRSTLY THE ALLEGATIONS MADE TOWARDS FIFA AS TO HOW QATAR GOT TO HOST THE 2022 WORLD CUP, THEN THE “HOW WOULD IT BE PLAYED IN THE SUMMER IN 45 DEGREE HEAT - NOT SAFE FOR PLAYERS AND SUPPORTERS ALIKE” SITUATION, AND SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE COMPETITION WOULD NOT BE HELD IN ITS NORMAL SUMMER SLOT THE CONTROVERSY HAS CONTINUED WITH REFERENCE TO POOR WORKING CONDITIONS FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING THE MANY STADIA REQUIRED TO HOST THE COMPETITION ANY MANY OTHER THINGS ALIKE.

CLOSER TO HOME THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL SCHEDULE CONTINUES TO CHOP AND CHANGE BECAUSE OF THE TOURNAMENT, AN FA CUP FINAL IN JUNE, THE COMMUNITY SHIELD IN JULY, AND IN THE CASE OF THE BIGGER CLUBS TAKING PART IN EUROPEAN CLUB COMPETITIONS A FIXTURE SCHEDULE THAT IS SEEING CLUBS PLAYING A GAME

THERE HAS TO BE SOME POSITIVES, RIGHT? WELL FOR ME THERE HAS BEEN AND THERE CONTINUES TO BE. ONE THING THAT I DEFINITELY MISSED DURING COVID AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOCKDOWNS WAS FOOTBALL, BEING AT THE GAME, EXPERIENCING THE BUILD UP WITH YOUR MATES IN THE PUB, CELEBRATING OR COMMISERATING AFTER, AGAIN NORMALLY IN THE PUB. ALL OF THAT WENT OUT THE WINDOW, SO WHEN FANS WERE ALLOWED BACK IN TO GROUNDS THE KNOCK ON EFFECT ON NONLEAGUE FOOTBALL WAS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE AS ATTENDANCES ROSE, NOT JUST AT OSSETT UNITED BUT ALL OVER THE FOOTBALL PYRAMID. PEOPLE COULD GET OUT, SEE THEIR MATES WITHOUT THE RISK OF HAVING TO TRAVEL DUE TO ONGOING CONCERNS OVER COVID, AND WATCH SOME (OFTEN) QUALITY FOOTBALL.
