after a fantastic start to their season with 14 points from 6 games and like ourselves are unbeaten in the league. Something will have to give as there has to be a winner tonight with both teams looking to extend their good run and form. The 2-2 draw against 1874 Northwich was disappointing as we dominated the game in large spells against a good team who scored their goals when we had our most dominant spells which was frustrating.

For us it is more of the same with good performances and decent results, a cup game can help your league form as the 4 unbeaten FA cup games have shown. It will be a highly competitive game against a team bang on form so only our best will be needed to give us the opportunity to get into the next round.

We also had an extremely busy week at Roe Lane last week as we have welcomed our new intake of students to the Football & Education Academy. The academy is growing year on year and the interest levels in what we offer are not dwindling either and it only getting stronger we have another open development day coming up in October which I'm sure we will see swelled with new prospects looking to join us.

I would also like to say thanks to the volunteers here at the club as with all non-league clubs we are always looking for more help on matchdays and if you feel you can help and spare some time on matchdays to help please find me or another volunteer to have a chat and let us see how we can get you involved with us.

What a past week we have had last Tuesday we welcomed 1874 Northwich here for what was a very entertaining game and before I had the pleasure alongside Robin van der Laan to present to James Askey a plaque for reaching 400 appearances with the club which is a fantastic achievement in this day of age when players move around clubs fairly regular and James's commitment to the club and what we are doing here is fantastic.

The club went into decline, but recovery came in 1995 when Spalding won the League Knockout Cup and in 1997 they were runners-up in the league, as well as reaching the last-16 of the FA Vase when they were defeated by Taunton Town.

In 1989/90 Spalding enjoyed an excellent run in the FA Vase, progressing to a home Quarter-Final tie with Guiseley, who included former Leicester City and England striker Frank Worthington in their side. A crowd of 2,020 saw Guiseley win 3-1 in extra-time, having equalised in stoppage time. Things took a down turn with relegation back to the United Counties League the following season.

The club has reached the First Round proper of the FA Cup on two occasions. In 1957/58 they lost 3-1 to Durham City and in 1964/65 they played Football League opposition for the first time, being beaten 5-3 in a thrilling encounter at Newport County.

A committee was formed and the home ground as to be the Low Grounds, but references were also made of games being played on Pinchbeck Road (Black Swan Field) which is now known as The Sir Halley Stewart Playing Field.

WELCOME Spalding United FC

In the early days the club, fielding A and B teams, played in the Boston League and progressed to the Spalding and District League and to the Peterborough League winning a number of trophies and were runner-up to Boston in the Lincolnshire FA competition before a crowd of 4,000 fans. Their first honours, however, came in 1933 when they won the Lincolnshire Junior Cup. The feat was repeated in 1938 and they progressed to senior level and won the Lincolnshire Senior B Cup in 1951.

RECENT HISTORY

For decades it has been documented that Spalding United was formed in 1921, but research into club history has revealed that in fact, its existence goes back much earlier.

In 1952 the Tulips recorded their ground record attendance when playing Peterborough United, then a Midland League side, in a qualifying round of the FA Cup. A crowd of 6,973 packed into the ground and saw Spalding leading 2-0 with ten minutes to play but Posh fought back to equalise and went on to win the replay 3-0. Further progress followed with success in the Lincolnshire Senior A Cup in 1953.

A chance sighting of an early team photograph on social media prompted some Investigation and evidence gained shows that the club was formed back in 1905 following the amalgamation of the Fulney Institute and Victorias clubs was confirmed at a meeting in a local hostelry when it was decided that the name should be Spalding United.

Spalding became United Counties League champions for the first time in 1955, having been runners-up in 1951, 1952 and 1953. They joined the Eastern Counties League but were without success and joined the Central Alliance League. They stayed just one season before transferring to the re-formed Midland League in 1961. In 1968 they re-joined the United Counties League and won the title for a second time in 1975.

Spalding changed competitions once more in 1982, joining the Northern Counties East League. They were champions in 1984 but again returned to the United Counties League in 1986. A third title was won in 1988, a season which also saw them lift the Lincolnshire Senior A Cup. This time their success earned promotion to the Southern League and their first two seasons in the Midland Division saw them finish eighth and sixth in the table.

The 2016/17 campaign evolved as their best, finishing in their highest ever placing in the modern Football Pyramid. The Tulips finished in third position in NPL First Division South, just missing out on promotion when losing by the odd goal in three away to second placed Witton Albion. The Tulips had, in fact, never been outside the top three all season. In addition, the club had three players – Nathan Stainfield (for the third time), Michael Duggan and Bradley Wells named in the South Division team of the year.

In 1998 they finished third in the league and again reached the Quarter-Final stage of the FA Vase, losing 21 at home to eventual winners Tiverton Town in front of 2,038 spectators. In 1998/99 the club won the United Counties League championship, the Lincolnshire A Cup and the Hinchingbrooke Cup. As UCL champions Spalding regained membership of the Southern League and competed in the Eastern Division for season 1999/2000. They finished in a creditable 15th position.

The season, however, was largely disappointing with the team languishing in the lower regions almost throughout and ultimately just avoiding relegation.

2011/12 started on a high with a partnership deal with top local junior club Spalding Athletic JFC, putting us in contact with age group football from under-7 to under-18. Sadly the season ended in relegation but despite this set back they aimed at a return to Step 4. In 2012/13 they narrowly missed winning promotion by one point but won the UCL Knockout Cup, beating promoted St Ives Town 4-0 in the final.

Following an indifferent start to the 2018/19 season manager Chris Rawlinson and chairman Andy Gay mutually agreed to part company. Assistant manager Matt Easton was put in temporary charge of the team but formally took over the reins towards the end of September.

A return to the NPL for the 2014/15 season was highly successful with the team always placed in the leading group and eventually finished in a very respectful seventh position in Division One South. The season also saw the introduction of an under-18 team.

The end of October 2019 heralded a new era with new ownership of the club with an influx of new shareholders and directors in a complete restructure of the company and board. The new emphasis being putting the community of Spalding at the heart of everything the club envisaged.

The UCL championship trophy, however, was brought back to town in convincing style in 2013/14 season with the title secured with four matches of the season remaining. Looking to build on the success of winning promotion to Step 4, the “Boardroom” was strengthened by the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer in local businessman and former player, Malcolm Gray.

The following season proved less successful, and it wasn’t until the 2006/07 season that saw the Tulips return to the Southern League for a third time. But in the final phase of FA restructuring the club was relocated back to the NPL for the 2007/08 season, competing in Division One (South). The club then experienced a number of difficult seasons trying to maintain their status at Step 4.

The next three seasons proved less successful and despite narrowly avoiding relegation they eventually returned to the UCL. Season 2003/04 saw a revival in fortunes, winning the UCL championship and the East Anglian Cup for the first time, beating Aveley 3-1. 2004/05 was the club’s debut in the Northern Premier League, and despite only finishing 18th they managed to retain the East Anglian cup, beating Lowestoft 4-2 in the Final.

With the formation of a reserve side and a commitment to strengthen the club as part of the local community, the club look forward to the challenge of establishing itself at Step 4.

The end of season brought changes off the field with chairman and director Chris Toynton stepping down and a consortium of local investors taking up the reins with the aim and challenge of taking the club forward. Andrew Gay was appointed as the new chairman.

Existing shareholders Rod Quinton and Graham Chappell welcoming local businessman and solicitor Paul Turnell as a new shareholder. The three were joined by shareholder/director positions for Andrew Gay, Jennifer Gay, Eddie Reeve and Phil Brennan. Successful businessman Iain Crawford was also welcomed onto the ‘board’. Andy Gay would continue as chairman with wife Jennifer as cub treasurer.

In early December manager Matt Easton rocked the club by unexpectedly resigning. His assistant Lewis Thorogood stepped up to fill the breach on a temporary basis as the season was forced to a premature end due to the Covid 19 virus epidemic, he was handed the position on a permanent basis. However, following a good start to the 2020 season with two wins, three successive defeats led to him stepping down into a new role within the club.

A new era for the club began on August 19, 2020, when it was announced that pending FA and League approval, with AK Holdings agreeing the purchase of Spalding United Football Club. Andrew Killingsworth owner of AK Holdings would be the new and proud owner of SUFC with Leigh Porter installed as the new CEO. Former chairman Andrew Gay will remain at the club as vice-chairman. For Season 2021/22 high hopes were expected with ex-Peterborough Star Gabby Zakuani in charge however results were disappointing and Zakuani left the role in December to be replaced by ex-Wisbech Town man Brett Whaley. The Tulips maintained a mid-table position despite some excellent results against high flying Halesowen Town, Belper Town, Ilkeston Town and Coleshill Town.

Captain Fantastic "Staino" needs no introduction at Spalding...but we will anyway, Nathan cleared the board at the clubs end of season awards and finished off with a place in the NPL Midlands Team of the Year following his impressive campaign last season in the centre of defence.

NEWCASTLE TOWN RESERVES UPDATE

We had a great start and performance to the season beating Eastwood Hanley 8-1 which could easily have been a lot more if it hadn’t been for the opposing goalkeeper. We then had two games against City of Stoke and Florence away where the boys didn’t stick to the script of how we play conceding two late goals against City of Stoke and a two nil loss at Florence where we didn’t turn up.

The Reserves have had a good start to their new campaign in The Staffs Senior League following our first seven games, having won five and lost two leaving us top of the league at this early juncture of the season. We are coming to terms with the standard of Adult football at this level and with the average age of the team just 17 along with a sprinkling of 16 year olds we are really pleased with how they have adapted to the physical side and the maturity to having to adjust to some of the challenges that this brings, there will be plenty of ups and downs as the group grows and learn how we want to play and and modify to what opposition teams present to us by figuring it out on the pitch themselves at times.

The performances have since improved scoring 14 goals in the next three games, the pace we have going forward has been a major asset for us with Jay Cooper and Lewis Holdham as well as backed up by the quality and strength we have in midfield. The back four and goalkeeper have been solid and allowed opposition teams few chances in open play.

We came away from top of the league Uttoxeter on Friday with a 3-1 victory which was probably the best performance of our season to date with several excellent individual performances but more importantly a great team display showing tireless work rate and desire to push themselves to gain the much deserved win.

The Squad of players is something we will need throughout this long season and this has been borne to be shown out already which we have been lucky to have the quality throughout the group.

While we know this is a new young team establishing themselves in Adult football we are confident that they will grow and improve as they have shown already continuing the desire, attitude, and application in their journey at Newcastle Town.
