                                 CHELSEA FC
The 45-year-old former Blues defender has spent over a decade working in various coaching roles in
the Chelsea Academy, most recently last season as lead coach for the Under-18s, as well as acting
as number two to successive coaches with the development squad. He also spent the 2016/17
campaign as assistant coach at Vitesse Arnhem.

Myers succeeded Jody Morris, another of Lampard’s newly-appointed assistants, in the role of
youth team manager last summer and guided the young Blues to a third-place league finish. After
progressing through the Academy ranks himself as a player, he made over 100 senior appearances
for us between 1991 and 1999, winning the FA Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup.

Jon Harley, who also moves up from the Under-18s after working closely with Myers last term, will
take the role of development squad assistant.

     The Chelsea Academy summer schedule began with a trip to Portugal to take on
     Portimonense, our youngsters will also face Lechia Gdansk, Glasgow Rangers
     and Bayern Munich as part of their pre-season programme. A training camp in the
     Portuguese Algarve marks the start of preparations for the 2019/20 season for our
     development squad with fixtures against Swansea City, Poole Town, Newport County
     and Sutton United. The visit to Rodney Parade in south Wales will mark a benefit
     game for Fraser Franks, the former Chelsea Academy defender who played for
     Newport this season. The 28-year-old was forced to retire from playing football in
     March on medical advice because of a heart problem.
     The Chelsea Academy conclude pre-season with a trip to Scotland at the start of
     August, where they will take on Rangers, before the Premier League 2 campaign
     begins on the weekend of Saturday 10 August. Meanwhile, our youth team are
     set to travel to Poland for their overseas training camp before friendlies against
     Bournemouth, Bayern and Everton.

                                                   HOW TODAY CAME ABOUT?
                                                   For those who aren’t regular visitors to our website you maybe
                                                   wondering how Poole Town came to land such a prestigious
                                                   fixture against a team from one of the Premier League’s giants.
                                                   It all started back in January when Chelsea contacted the club to
                                                   enquire whether they could hire our pitch to have a light training
                                                   session ahead of their forthcoming evening game against AFC
                                                   Bournemouth. Our commercial manager, Alex Pike, took up the
                                                   enquiry and negotiated this friendly as part of the deal which
                                                   will also see one of our youth teams having the opportunity of
                                                   visiting Chelsea’s Academy for a day (more of that below). With
                                                   that sorted, and amid great secrecy, Chelsea’s first team squad
                                                   including Eden Hazard, David Luiz, Willian took to the turf of the
                                                   Tatnum on a very chilly morning at the end of January. Although
                                                   the visit didn’t prove lucky for Chelsea, who lost heavily at AFCB
                                                   later in the day, it saw the start of a long winning streak at home
                                                   for the Dolphins which helped us into the play-offs.

                                                   U8’s TO VISIT CHELSEA’S ACADEMY
                                                   As mentioned above one of our teams are to benefit from an
                                                   invitation to visit Chelsea’s Academy on a date to be agreed
                                                   later this year. In recognition for the work he has done for the
                                                   youth section, and in particular the work he has put into the
                                                   ptfckids.co.uk website and social media platforms, Andy White
                                                   and his U8’s side have been offered this opportunity. We hope
                                                   they enjoy what should be a wonderful day out and a big thank
                                                   you to Joe Edwards and Kevin Campanello at Chelsea for making
                                                   this happen.

History                                                                                                   Looking back...
Formed in 1890, Poole joined the Dorset League in 1896,then the Hampshire League in 1903.
Poole joined the Western League in 1923. In 1926 the club turned professional joining the Southern
Football League, Eastern Division. The 1926-27season saw the club's best FA cup run in its history.
They reached the third round and played Everton losing 3–1 at Goodison Park. Poole re-joined the
Western league in 1930 and stayed there until 1957.
In 1933 Poole moved into Poole Stadium. They became known as Poole Town in 1934. In 1994 the
Dog Track was widened making the centre green too small for a regulation pitch. Poole Town were
obliged to move on and find a new home. Poole Town shared a ground with Hamworthy United.
In the 1995-96 season Poole lost 39 consecutive matches, equalling the record set by Stockport
County in 1977, winning just 1 point from 42 league matches Poole Town were relegated from the
Southern League to Hampshire league Division One, sharing a ground with Holt United.
In October 2000, Poole began playing at Tatnam, now Oakdale Junior School. They subsequently built
a permanent barrier around the pitch, hardstanding, floodlights, dugouts, a small club shop, tea hut,
licensed bar and an £80,000 stand which allowed them to be promoted into the Wessex League First
Division.
The 2008–09 season saw Poole win the Wessex Premier title and Dorset Senior Cup. In the 2009–10
season Poole Town sold Charlie Austin to Swindon Town for an undisclosed sum.
During the 2010–11 season Poole Town won the Wessex league Premier Division for the third
consecutive season and reached the semi-final of the FA Vase and the Fourth Qualifying Round of the
FA Cup. In contrast to previous seasons, the club were granted promotion to the Southern League after
FA agreed to them staging Southern League football at Tatnam.
The 2012–13 season saw the club promoted as champions of Southern League Division One South
and West. The club completed the treble that season.
2013–14 season saw Poole miss out on the playoffs by just one point. The 2014–15 season saw
Poole Town win the Southern League Cup, but missed out on the Championship on the last day of the
season losing 3–2 at home to Corby. The game was watched by a Tatnam record 2,203 crowd.
Tatnam was upgraded again in 2013 with the dugouts moved, a new clubhouse, a third turnstile, 100
more seats, improved dressing rooms, more toilets and a new changing facility for the officials, as
well as a new stand. The total upgrade cost over £200,000 and enabled promotion to the National
League South at the end of the 2015-16 season.
Poole competed near the top of the National League South in their first season but were ineligible for
promotion due to a lack of seating. Poole went on to finish fifth. Poole struggled throughout the 2017-
18 season, finding themselves on the final day relegated to the Southern League South. The 2018-19
season was a successful one with Poole Town winning the Dorset Senior Cup and finishing 5th in the
league only to lose to Met Police in the final of the play offs.
Poole Town operates with 32 Youth Teams, Under 18’s, Development Squad, Two Ladies sides,
Walking Football for the over 50’s and a Disability That Counts Section and have placed ourselves at
the hub of our local community.
