From the Chairman
Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to
Hartsdown Park for our first game of 2022. A very warm
welcome and Happy New Year to our old friends and
rivals Folkestone Invicta.
I was very pleased with the Cray result as games around Christmas can be tricky
especially when you factor in players missing because of Covid. A win was a great way to
see out 2021 and give us a platform from which to build in the new year.
Historically games against Invicta have been very close with a fairly even spread of
wins. However, in more recent memory Invicta have had the edge over us and we need to
change that today. In Smith and Yusuff Invicta have a strike force that can (and regularly
does) cause teams problems and our defence will have to be on top of their game to keep a
clean sheet. However, we have two players ourselves, in Bola and Greenhalgh, who can
cause problems, hopefully they keep up their excellent goal scoring form today.
December saw the departure of Charlotte Richardson from Margate after five years working
with the Club. During her time with the Gate Charlotte has been a professional and creative
force helping to give us a fantastic online presence, player interviews, delivered community
projects, live match commentary during lockdown when we were streaming games, three
series of the excellent “unlocking the gate” and much, much more. Charlotte has now
moved on to work on various projects with Charlton Athletic, BBC Final Score, BBC radio
th
and Chelsea FC amongst others whilst also working on her own 8 Wonder Programme and
still working closely with the Kent FA.
On behalf of everyone at Margate FC I would like to say thank you for your hard work and
dedication over the past five years and we wish you every success in the future.
I would also like to say thank you to all of those that contributed to our food bank drive in the
build up to Christmas. Together with our Youth Section we managed to give out food and
toys to many of those less fortunate than ourselves at Christmas.
Let’s see in the New Year in style with a very noisy Hartsdown Park and three
points. Happy New Year to you all and thank you for all of your support throughout 2021.
Up the Gate!

From the Manager
Good afternoon and a Happy New Year to everyone!
I’d like to start by welcoming Neil and his staff and team to Hartsdown Park for
this derby game. Folkestone are having a great season and I’m sure will be
pushing for the title come the end of the season!
Looking back at recent results we had a great result against Worthing and we’re desperate
to back it up against Wingate but unfortunately Covid played it’s part and we lost a lot of
players and staff members which was really frustrating.
Thankfully we got back to winning ways against Cray and I have to say our support was
different class so hopefully you can replicate that for the boys today.
Moving in to the new year we have to keep improving as a side and as a club and I can
assure you it’s something we are working very hard to do!
Hopefully we can get a bit more consistency and keep everyone fit and have a really good
second half of the season.
Once again Happy New Year .

SUPPORTERS CLUB
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the players, officials and fans of our near
neighbours and Kent rivals Folkestone to Hartsdown Park for our first home game of
2022. We trust you have had a good Christmas and are not struggling after seeing in the
New Year last night. Local derbies are traditional over the Christmas period so hopefully
we should get a bumper crowd and the noise that goes with it to lift the players and create
an awesome atmosphere at our home fixtures. With our home results yo-yoing from the
high of beating League Leaders Worthing on the Tuesday to the slender defeat to
struggling Wingate four days later all supporters would love to see consistency in our
form and putting games to bed with the players giving 100%.
In the run up to Christmas, on the night before the Wingate and Finchley game, we heard the worrying news
that stalwart club official Peter Cove had suffered multiple heart incidents resulting in a stay in hospital. Peter
has been associated with the club for many years and has been a supporter since he was a young lad in short
trousers. His work at the club implementing the Health and Safety Laws requirements has been essential to
ensure Margate FC comply with the regulations on a daily basis as well as every step of the ground
redevelopment. His efforts to make sure there are enough stewards at every Margate home game has never
been easy, to get people to volunteer to turn up three hours before a game and stay an hour after, setting up
and clearing away safety barriers and cones and to keep all football fans safe whilst at Hartsdown Park for the
match. In addition Peter has worked hard with the links with the Margate Legends to get the likes of Brian
Hughes and Bryan Clifton to our Legends Days over the years. The Supporters Club wish Peter a speedy
recovery and hope to see him back at his spiritual home as quickly as possible.
Additionally, Covid has hit the playing and non-playing staff recently. Sadly, it is not just a cold as some would
have you think and our team selection has been affected for several games and having to be rewritten on the
day of the match. One of those knocked back by the virus has been grounds man Graham Ives resulting in his
and his family’s isolation for the Worthing game and over the Christmas period. Hopefully everyone concerned
can recover from the virus and be up and running again as soon as possible.
The Supporters Club are pleased to announce the appointment of long term Margate fan and member David
Payne as its new Vice Chairman. David is another one of those Margate fans who travels home and away to
Margate games as well as helping the club in several ways behind the scenes. Also taking up a new role is
Ryan Day as the club secretary. Ryan is a dad with a lad in the Margate Youth team plus volunteers on match
days helping at the turnstiles and club shop.
Here is hoping 2022 can only be better than the last two years and there is a return to normality.
The Ma Gator has returned to Hartsdown Park and will be at home matches to meet and greet our younger
supporters. Membership of the Mini Gators Club is only £1 with benefits including a badge and discounts from
local businesses. More details can be found on the leaflets being handed out by the Supporters Hut.
The Supporters Club would like to thank all the fans who donated to the Isla Caton Fund at the
Wingate game. We raised over £220 which has been forwarded on to the cause.

Fifty, Twenty-five, Ten—A look back in the MFC Archives
1st January 1972: Just prior to Christmas we had a visit from Poole Town in the Southern League Cup Second Round
Replay after a goalless draw down in Dorset. Watched by 625 fans Margate started brightly with Kevin Barry (fresh from
Chelsea where his opportunities were limited) forcing Poole defender Eyden into lobbing his own goalkeeper in the third
minute. Ten minutes later the visitors were level when a low drive beat home keeper Paul Thomas, however on 31
minutes an Alan Butterfield free kick was prodded home by Dave Jarman. Gillingham loanee Henry Hill was denied his
only goal for the club due to an off side call before Eddie Clayton wrapped up the result. Success on the field came at a
cost off it with the first game costing Margate £40 and this one Poole presented expenses of £103 at a time admission
prices were about 50p. Today we had the home tie of a double header with Dartford in the league. Following a one all
draw at Watling Street where Barry scored for us, Margate found themselves facing a dominant Dartford in the return.
Bruce Walker scored in the 4th minute directly from a free kick from outside of the penalty area before the Darts took a 2
– 1 lead. We had to wait until the 86th minute when Colin Clewlow latched onto another Walker free kick to head home.
It is now nine unbeaten for the Gate.
Played 22 Won 7 Drew 4 Lost 11 Goals For 31 Goals Against 41 Points 18
26th December 1996: Despite Kent based Tonbridge, Dartford, Erith and Belvedere and Fisher being in our division
the Southern League fixture committee decided that our Boxing Day game would be against St Leonards Stamcroft from
Sussex. Thankfully it was a home game and a crowd of 404 watched the match which was our second game against the
team in second place in the Southern League Southern Division in a fortnight after facing them in the League Cup.
Sadly it was a second defeat as well as we lost 1 – 2 with Lee Spiller getting our goal and his first of the season. Great
things were hoped for 18 year Spiller although this was his first game back after a three match ban following an
elbowing incident in the game at Yate in November. Margate did not have a game on New Years Day this season and
also no match until 11th January.
Played 21 Won 12 Drew 2 Lost 7 Goals For 38 Goals Against 28 Points 38
31st December 2011: Back to winning ways for a Margate team with prolific goal scorer Kwesi Appiah back in the side
after injury. Travelling on a Tuesday afternoon to Bromley’s Hayes Lane ground we faced Cray Wanderers who
surprised the visitors by taking a lead in the 3rd minute. Within ten minutes though Margate were ahead when first Curtis
Robinson then Appiah scored but on the stroke of half time Cray were back level. Margate lost defender Laurence Ball
to a head injury at the start of the second half but minutes later Appiah restored Margate’s lead and on 67 minutes Dan
Stubbs secured the three points to give the final score of 4 – 2. Four days later we travelled up the M2 again and over
the Dartford crossing to Aveley. The 3 – 1 score line did not give the home side justice to their hard work and the game
was described as a smash and grab affair. Another early goal for Margate came through Tom Bradbrook playing up
7
front as Curtis Robinson fell back to cover the missing full backs on Margate’s injury list. Aveley equalised on 20
minutes and tried pressing forward on a sticky pitch not helping the quality of football. In the second half more pressure
from Margate resulted in Appiah scoring again on 57 minutes and right at the end skipper Craig Cloke sent a free kick in
front of the benches over the head of the stranded home keeper to silence the Aveley physio who had been giving him
stick during the match.

Today's Opponents: FOLKESTONE INVICTA FC
Folkestone Invicta Football Club, which was formed in 1936 and
played in the East Kent Amateur League, took over use of the
Cheriton Road ground in early 1991 after the demise of the old
Folkestone club who had enjoyed a long history in the Southern
League.
Under manager Gary Staniforth, Invicta joined the Winstonlead Kent League
and completed the Division Two league and cup double during the 1991-92
season, also winning the Kent Intermediate Shield that season.
Invicta achieved senior status and joined Division One of the Winstonlead Kent
League, making steady progress in its first two seasons at this level under club
stalwart Staniforth. The nearest the club came to another trophy during these
two seasons was when they lost the 1994 Plaaya Kent Senior Trophy Final 3-1 FORM GUIDE
against Alma Swanley at Gravesend & Northfleet’s Stonebridge Road.
WON
Former Folkestone, Dover Athletic, Hythe Town, Crawley Town and
v Merstham
Sittingbourne player Tim Hulme then took over as player-manager for the
6—1
1994-95 season. Invicta at one point chased the Kent League treble that
season, but ended up empty handed. The club were runners up for a second
successive season in the Plaaya Kent Senior Trophy after losing a penalty WON
shoot out in the final against Deal Town at Dover’s Crabble ground following a v Haringey Borough
2-2 draw after extra time. 5—0
Invicta entered the F. A. Cup for the first time during the 1994-95 season,
beating Hailsham Town and then Southern League Premier Division side DRAW
Sittingbourne before going out 2-1 at home to a Worthing side which included v Bishop’s Stortford
former Tottenham striker Mark Falco. 0—0
Hopes were high for the 1995-96 season as Invicta strengthened their squad,
but things turned sour during the second half of the season as Hulme left the
WON
club, with his assistant Micky Dix taking over for the remainder of the season.
v Enfield Town
Former Canterbury City boss Darren Hare was recruited for the 1996-97
3—2
season, but after a poor start he was soon replaced by one-time Folkestone
Town manager Denis Hunt, assisted by veteran player Bobby Wilson.
It was during this season that a club record 2,332 saw the club play hosts to
West Ham United in a benefit game following freak floods in the town. Harry KIT
Redknapp brought down a strong West Ham side that won 6-0 and included
Portuguese World Cup star Paolo Futre, Julian Dicks, a young Frank Lampard
and Stan Lazaridis.
It was the arrival of manager Neil Cugley from Ashford Town during the summer
of 1997 which was to provide the catalyst for the return of Southern League
football to the town.
Cugley made an immediate impact as promotion was achieved by finishing
runners up to Herne Bay in 1997-98 when the club also finished runners up in First Strip
the Plaaya Kent Senior Trophy for the third time after losing 1-0 in the final to
Greenwich Borough at Ashford Town’s Homelands ground.
But under manager Cugley the club were to be permanent fixtures in the top
folkestoneinvictafc.co.uk
three of their respective division for three successive seasons.
8
The club continued to make good progress in 1998-99 as Southern League football returned to Folkestone. Invicta finished third in
the Dr. Martens League Southern Division behind champions Havant & Waterlooville and runners up Margate, with the promotion
race going to the final day of the season. Invicta also reached the final of the 1999 Kent Senior Cup where they lost 1-0 at home to
then Conference club Welling United. The club also made its mark in the F.A. Umbro Trophy by beating Conference club Hayes to
reach the Third Round before going out 8-4 in an incredible tie away to three-times winners Woking.
The 1999-2000 season saw the club achieve more progress with promotion to the Dr. Martens League Premier Division as runners
up to Fisher Athletic (London) in the Eastern Division. Again there was final day heartbreak for Invicta as the championship went
right to the wire with Fisher winning away to Newport (Isle of Wight) to make Invicta’s final day win at Wisbech in vein. In victa went
down 1-0 at home to holders and eventual winners Kingstonian in the F.A. Umbro Trophy and again reached the Kent Senior Cup
Final, but went down again, this time 3-0 to Gravesend & Northfleet, their fifth successive defeat in a cup final as a senior side. It
was a good season all round for the club as the reserves won the Kent Intermediate Cup and the youth team won their section of the
MUSH Kent Youth League and reached the 2 nd Round of the Times Sponsored F. A. Youth Cup before bowing out 6-0 against a
strong Millwall side at the New Den
The 2000-01 season saw the club compete in the Dr Martens League Premier Division for the first time and Invicta achieved their
objective of staying up. In the process they were the only side to win away to Nigel Clough’s Burton Albion at Eton Park.
The 2001-02 season saw an improved Invicta side briefly top the Premier Division table for the first time in the club’s history during
the opening weeks of the season. The club reached the 4th Qualifying Round of the F. A. Cup but were beaten 5-1 in a replay away
to Welling United after drawing the initial tie 1-1 with a lucrative trip to Reading as the prize. The season ended on a dramatic note
as Invicta 3-3 home draw with Tamworth on the final day of the season denied the Lambs the championship – that game was
watched by a crowd of 1,277, the highest ever home attendance for an Invicta league match.
That record was broken in August 2002 when the visit of neighbours Dover Athletic attracted a crowd of 1,446 to Cheriton Road. But
the 2002-03 season was to prove a difficult season for Invicta as financial constraints took their toll. The club finished bottom of the
table and was relegated back down to the Eastern Division.
The 2003-04 season was more successful for Invicta as the club finished fifth in the Eastern Division to win promotion via the
re-structuring of the non-league game. Highlights of the season were a club record unbeaten 24-match league run and reaching the
Third Round of the F. A. Trophy before bowing out at home to Nationwide Conference club Stevenage Borough.
9
The club switched from the Southern League to the Isthmian (Isthmian) Premier League for the 2004-05
season and finished in a mid table position. Striker James Dryden broke both the club’s record senior
appearance and goal scoring records during the season and a new home league record attendance of 2,278
saw Invicta win 1-0 at home to local rivals Dover Athletic over Christmas. A 2,390 crowd saw Invicta win the
return 1-0 over the Easter weekend.
But the club was to suffer real tragedy on Tuesday April 12th, 2005 when striker Paul Sykes collapsed on the
pitch and died during a Kent Senior Cup semi final against one of his former clubs Margate. Invicta
subsequently pulled out of the competition to allow Margate to play another of Paul’s former clubs Dover
Athletic in the final at Folkestone when the Kent footballing community came together to remember one of its most popular
characters.
Folkestone Invicta went into the 2005-06 season in good spirits with a new sponsorship deal with local coach company Buzzlines.
The club subsequently enjoyed its best ever run in the F. A. Cup, going down 2-1 away to Chester City in the First Round after
leading 1-0 at half time thanks to an early Adam Flanagan goal which was shown on Match of the Day. The reserves also
finished as champions of the Kentish Observer Football League Division Two and the club also enjoyed great success at youth
level.
The 2006-07 season saw the club maintain its Isthmian Premier League status on the final day of the season with a 1-1 draw
away to Carshalton. But the next season was to see the club relegated on the final day of the season with a 1-0 home defeat
against Maidstone United in a winner-takes-all encounter.
2008-09 saw the club in the Isthmian League Division One South but a financial crisis put paid to early season hopes of
promotion and the club put its faith in a predominantly young, local, up-and-coming side.
That faith came to fruition during a truly remarkable 2009-10 season that saw the club win promotion from the Isthmian League
Division One South and reach the final of the Kent Senior Cup (losing 3-1 to Sittingbourne). Operating with a small squad, Invicta
were denied the championship after being docked ten points for entering into a CVA agreement but were promoted via the
play-offs.
Croydon Athletic clinched the championship with a 0-0 draw on a memorable night at Invicta after both towns had paid tribute to
Rifleman Peter Aldridge of A Company 4 Rifles, who had died in an explosion in Afghanistan, aged just 19, becoming the 250 th
UK serviceman to die in the campaign. New Invicta chairman Lynn Woods’ efforts in staging the commemoration were rewarded
with a 2,134 crowd.
Invicta – who conceded just 23 goals in 42 league games – recovered from the disappointment of missing out on the
championship by winning the play-offs. A thrilling semi final saw the club come back from 2-0 down at half time against
Leatherhead to force a 2-2 draw after extra time and win 5-3 on penalties. Godalming Town were then beaten in the final as
Invicta returned to the Isthmian Premier League. The club also won the Isthmian League Division One South Fair Play Award
during 2009-10 and again in 2012-13.
But continuing financial constraints meant that the club found life back in the Isthmian Premier League difficult and it was
relegated back down to Division One South in 2010-11.
For the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons the club reached the semi finals of the play offs, losing away to Dulwich Hamlet and
Maidstone United respectively.
In 2013-14 the club finished as Isthmian League Division One South runners up and reached the play off final after beating
Hastings United 3-2 after extra time in the semi final but lost the final 3-1 on penalties at home to Leatherhead following a 1-1
draw after extra time. The club also had young striker Johan Ter Horst signed by Premiership club Hull City during May 2014.
Folkestone Invicta won both the Division One South’s Fair Play and Respect awards in 2013 -14, the third successive season that
it had been rewarded for its disciplinary record.
The club again finished as runners up in the Isthmian League Division One South during 2014-15 and the season was again to
end in home play-off heartbreak as Invicta lost the final 3-0 against Merstham after beating Whyteleafe 2-1 after extra time in the
10semi final. It was a different story in 2015-16 as Invicta won the Isthmian League Division One South championship by 24 points
and manager Neil Cugley completed 1,000 matches as the club’s manager.
During the summer of 2016 the club prepared for life back in the Isthmian League Premier Division and sold striker Harry Smith to
League Division One club Millwall. The club achieved its objective of staying in the Premier Division which was confirmed with a
3-0 final day win away to Grays Athletic amid a party atmosphere at Aveley and also won the division’s Respect award.
Invicta stepped up a gear during the 2017-18 season scoring over 100 goals in the Isthmian League Premier Division and
reaching the Play Offs where they lost 4-0 in the semi final away to Hendon. It had been an exciting end to the season as the club
lost on penalties in the Kent Reliance Senior Cup Final away to Maidstone United and finished their scheduled league
programme with a 2-2 draw away to Billericay Town where a stoppage time Jamie O’Hara screamer denied them a league
‘double’ over the champions.
Despite winning its last five matches during April, Invicta narrowly missed out on the play offs on the final day of the 2018-19
season.
Invicta were still very much in the Isthmian League Premier Division promotion race and in the semi finals of the League Cup
when the 2019-20 season came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The start of the curtailed 2020-21 season was a strange time with COVID protocols and procedures and with elite level sport
continuing behind-closed-doors, Invicta was for a short spell one of the best supported clubs in the country.

13Match Report:
The Blues secure victory against Cray Wanderers
On Monday The Blues travelled to face Cray Wanderers in their final match of 2021 in
the Isthmian League Premier Division.
Right from the off the match was fast paced while both teams were battling for chances on goal. Initially the hosts were
controlling the ball a little more with a few close chances on the Margate goal. The hosts took the lead in the 10th minute
when Kyle Reid received the ball on the left wing and cut into the edge of the box, striking the ball through the crowd into
the bottom left corner.
Cray Wanderers 1-0 Margate
Margate were dangerous on the counter attack, playing the ball onto the wing and moving into the hosts box but they
were struggling to seriously threaten Cray’s goal. Margate were close to equalising in the 23rd minute after Bola’s
dangerous run into the box where he was tackled and the ball fell to Godo however he couldn't quite get a shot off in
time.
Margate equalised in the 36th minute when Ben Greenhalgh took a strike from range and his deflected shot dropped to
the edge of the box. Godo capitalised and ran onto the loose ball beating the keeper calmly and slotting it into the open
net.
Cray Wanderers 1-1 Margate
Neither team could gain the upper hand in the first half and the match was end to end throughout. The teams were tied
going into half time.
At the start of the second half The Blues were starting to
gain more control of the match, utilising their pace to make
runs down the wings on the counter attack. In the 51st
minute Margate took the lead when Crossley Lema made a
darting run down the right wing and Lewis Knight played
the ball onto his run with precision. Lema took the ball in
stride into the box and fired it into the near post past the
keeper.
Cray Wanderers 1-2 Margate
Margate nearly extended their lead in the 69th minute after
the ball fell to Godo in the hosts box but his shot was just
high and smashed against the crossbar. Margate again
came agonisingly close to extending their league in the
71st minute after Montel took a strike from range and the
keeper palmed the ball across his goal line. The Cray
keeper managed to claw it out of the goal and no goal was
given. Almost immediately down the other end with
Margate still in shock, Chris Dickson equalised for Cray as
his shot from range deflected over Ben Bridle-Card.
Cray Wanderers 2-2 Margate.
Margate were still determined to take all of the points from
this game and they continued to press on. The Blues took
the lead through sheer tenacity in the 77th minute from
Greenhalgh’s corner. The corner initially fell to Ben Swift
who headed it towards goal. The Cray keeper palmed the
shot to the side but Knight was there to head it home and
put his side once again in the lead.
Cray Wanderers 2-3 Margate.
14The rest of the match was end to end and hard fought but Margate were strong in defence and continued to cause trouble for the hosts. In the dying minutes Margate controlled the ball and the pace of play to see the game out and secure their three points. Margate XI: Ben Bridle-Card, Crossley Lema, Joe Anderson, Montel Agyemang, Lewis Knight, Ben Swift , Sam Blackman, Vance Bola, Ben Greenhalgh, James Bessey-Saldanha, Martial Godo. Subs: Ryan Palmer(78’), Harrison Hatfull, Fyn Rutherford, Jack Richards, Daniel Thompson(90+2’). Goal-scorers: Martial Godo(36’), Crossley Lema (51’), Lewis Knight (77’)

17Fixture Peculiarities
As we all know, COVID has caused some issues over the past few seasons,
with the last two seasons being curtailed. This has lead to some interesting
gaps between league matches.
During this article a match refers to a game between two teams, either home or away, while a fixture
refers to a specific team being at home
In more benign times there would be an average of around 180 days between matches, and a
maximum of around 620 days between fixtures, depending on the start and end dates of any
particular season.
During the last three seasons though, there has been a gap between matches involving Margate of at
least 329 days (v Carshalton Athletic) up to a staggering 847 days (v Kingstonian). There are 3 other
teams where the gap between matches has not been over a year, against Enfield Town, Hornchurch
and Leatherhead, and 2 other teams where there has been a gap of over 2 years between matches,
against Potters Bar Town and Folkestone Invicta
There are currently four fixtures involving Margate that have yet to be played since the start of the
2019/20 season; these are our trip to Potters Bar Town, currently scheduled for 11/01/22, and our
home games against Folkestone Invicta (today), Horsham (05/02/22) and Kingstonian (23/04/22).
Taking into account the fact that Horsham were only promoted into the league for the start of the
2019/20 season, it will be 3598 days since Horsham visited Hartsdown Park in the league when they
are due to play on the 5th February. 29 of our 42 fixtures have a gap of over 630 days.
Looking at the league as a whole, at the end of 2021 there are still 36 fixtures that have not been
played since the start of the 2019/20 season, with 2 to be played today. However it will not be until
the last day of the season, with the Haringey Borough v Folkestone Invicta, Margate v Kingstonian
and Merstham v Carshalton Athletic fixtures having been played, that 1 complete seasons worth of
fixtures will have been played since the beginning of the 2019/20 season.
There are 2 fixtures that haven't been played in over 10 years (Horsham v Kingstonian and
Leatherhead v Cray Wanderers) as well as 3 fixtures that have never been played (Bognor Regis
Town v Bowers & Pitsea, Folkestone Invicta v Bowers & Pitsea and Merstham v Cheshunt).

THE APPEAL of football at Christmas showed its popularity once more even in challenging conditions for
supporters.
Despite Omicron cases rising over 100,000 in England and the weather being as wet and windy as ever, fans still
turned out in big numbers for the festive fixtures.
Attendances in Non-League have been impressive after fears the pandemic may put off some spectators returning
to matches. But football – coupled with the hard work of club volunteers – has shown it can be a safe space.
The failed European Super League plan is likely to have also benefitted the lower levels with some supporters
turning their back on the top-flight.
Non-League’s affordability remains as does the ‘real’ feel of attending matches and standing on terraces.
The game as these levels is continuing to grow and the Boxing Day schedule provided further proof of that.
Stockport County welcomed 8,896 for their Boxing Day clash with Altrincham. It was the highest crowd on the day
outside of the Championship and the club’s biggest league attendance since 2008.
Elsewhere in the National League, there was 3,830 at Torquay United in their game against Yeovil Town. A crowd of
3,759 was at Hayes Lane for Bromley’s televised fixture with Southend United as 3,699 took in the local derby
between Aldershot Town and Woking.
In National League North, AFC Fylde and Chorley had 2,608 spectators while the derby between Spennymoor Town
and Darlington saw a crowd of 2,404. There was also 2,082 at AFC Telford United for the visit of Chester.
Dorking Wanderers welcomed a record crowd of 2,048 on National League South and put on a show with an 8-0
victory over promotion rivals Havant & Waterlooville. Tonbridge Angels had the next highest of 1,669 against
Maidstone United followed by Oxford City with 1,208.
The Northern Premier League had a combined total of more than 30,000 in attendance for their final games of the
year on December 27th. There were ten four-figure crowds across the four divisions, including more than 2,000 at
FC United, Matlock Town and Marine.
A total of 12,213 fans went through the turnstiles in the 11 Premier Division games, averaging at 1,110 per game.
In the West Division, the average crowd was even bigger coming in at 1,155 across the seven games, including a
2,150 sell-out for Marine’s local derby with Bootle, who won 3-0.
There were 1,679 at Clitheroe for their 5-1 win over Colne, while 1,100 saw Leek Town win away at Kidsgrove
Athletic.
There was a four-figure crowd in the East Division too, where Marske United lost at home to Stockton Town in front
of 1,250.
Horsham hosted 1,284 for their fixture with Lewes in the Isthmian League Premier while 1,314 were at Bury Town
against Stowmarket Town in the North division. In the South East, Herne Bay won 7-2 against Whitstable Town in
front of 1,119.
Banbury United attracted their biggest league attendance for 52 years of 1,221. The Southern League Premier
Central leaders beat Stratford Town 1-0. Bromsgrove Sporting had 1,658 against Stourbridge and Hednesford drew
1,142 for their game with Rushall Olympic.
In the Southern League Division One South (Step 4), Frome Town’s crowd was 1,103 for their 3 -3 draw with
Melksham Town.
Phoenix club Macclesfield FC, at Step 5, had the biggest attendance on December 27 of 4,353 and there was 972
at Step 6 side Steeton AFC. The depth, and support, of the English pyramid continues to be incredible.
It was also heart-warming to see many Non-League clubs supporting the #NoHomeKit campaign over the Christmas
fixtures to raise money and awareness around homelessness. The idea - created by charity Shelter – called for
clubs to ditch their home kit and instead wear an away or third kit in an act of support and solidarity for people
without a home.
