3 WELCOME TO CALTHORPE PARK Good afternoon and welcome to Calthorpe Park the home of Fleet Town F.C. for today s Evo-Stik h League South Division 1 South fixture. In particular the Committee, Players, Management and supporters of our visitors Barnstaple Town. This of course is Barnstaple s second visit to us this season. The first match was back early last month in The F.A. Trophy when in a tight game we just managed to squeeze through to the next round with a 2-1 win. A lot has changed in six weeks because Barnstaple s form has improved substantially and so of course so has ours, consequently we are expecting quite a different but a very tough match. We were delighted to go to Cinderford Town last week and come away with a hard earned but very deserved 2-1 win. Considerable credit has to go to our goal keeper Brendan Norris who was back between the sticks after a period out with a dislocated finger, he had a fine game bringing off several crucial saves. We must not forget however the contribution that young Harvey White has given us during Brendan s absence. Harvey came to us on loan from Q.P.R and played superbly showing us all that he could well have a big future in the professional game. We were very disappointed that our game with Winchester City again had to be postponed on Tuesday night due to a waterlogged pitch. It was just unfortunate that on both occasions the heavy rain came just at the wrong time and did not give our pitch time to recover before kick off. Anyway we have rearranged the game again for this coming Tuesday night and after having a quick look at the weather forecast it seems pretty certain that it will be third time lucky to get this match played. Finally we hope all our visitors from North Devon enjoy their afternoon and have a safe journey home after the game. Hope all you home supporters also enjoy the game and that we see you back here again on Tuesday night for the Winchester local derby game Come on you Blues Martin Griffiths CHAIRMAN: Alec Grant YOUTH TEAM MANAGER: Neil Selby VICE CHAIRMAN : Richard Whittington COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Alec Grant, Richard Whittington, Harry Cannon, Darren Edwards Nathan Cookson & Sam Waters CLUB SECRETARY : Richard Whittington HEAD OF FOOTBALL : Sam Waters FIRST TEAM MANAGER : David Kelly ASSISTANT MANAGER : Tommy Taylor FIRST TEAM COACH : Chris Neate SPORTS THERAPIST : Edward Hensby WEBSITE MANAGERS : Harry Cannon & Matt Thorne CLUB WELFARE OFFICER : Chris Arnold CLUB SAFETY OFFICER : Lyn Bevan PROGRAMME EDITOR : Martin Griffiths CLUB SHOP MANAGER : Claire Whittington HOSPITALITY : Carol Black TEA BAR : Maria Horsenail GROUNDSMAN ; Bryan Smith Fleet Town F.C.

7 MATCH RANGE

8 BARNSTAPLE TOWN F.C. HISTORY Founded in 1904 as Pilton Yeo Vale, the club entered the North Devon league. They were founder members along with Ilfracombe, South Molton, Pilton Social Barnstaple Y.M.C.A, Braunton and Bideford. Their first ever league Match was on 1st October 1904 when they played Ilfracombe at Pilton Park and were defeated 4-2. The club changed it's name to Barnstaple Town at the end of the season, and continued in the North Devon League, Devon & Exeter League and then the South Western League. When the Western League was reformed after the Second World War, Barnstaple Town entered two teams, one in division 2 and a reserve side in division 3. The early 1950's were one of the club's most successful times under the management of Arthur Coles. In 1953, Barnstaple won the Western league First Division Championship but only after a nail biting climax to the season with everything depending on the results of matches being played on the final day of the League Season. On that day, Barnstaple Town beat Dorchester Town 6-1 and their challengers for the title, Street won 2-1 at Well City. That left the sides level on points and when the goal average was calculated Street had 2.07 and incredibly Barnstaple had 2.08.Rumour has it that most of the 3,000 crowd that watched Barnstaple beat Dorchester stayed behind at Mill Road after the match to await the Street result. Barnstaple Town also beat Plymouth Argyle in the final of the Devon Pro' Cup at Home Park that season, but sadly Coles moved on to Weymouth and the club never had quite the same success again. Cameron Buchanan, the former Wolves and Bournemouth player, local lads Fred Smale and Ray Smith, Bill Johnson formerly of Grimsby Town, Noel Peyton, the ex Leeds United and Eire International, John Hancock formerly with Exeter City and ex Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers player Lol Chappell all tried to revive Barnstaple's fortunes from the managers seat but with no great success. Player Manager Charlie Sells, who had been with Exeter City, built up the club in the 1970's followed by the former Andover keeper Trevor Morris and then Brian Perks. Perks left Mill Road for Bideford during the season of 1979/80 and under the guidance of joint managers Brian Hill and Dave Baglow, Barum went on to win the Western League Championship for the second time, winning by one point from AFC Bournemouth Reserves. That title went virtually unnoticed as there was a printers strike at the time and no newspapers were printed. Richard Gray, the former Falmouth Town player, took over the following season and brought some success to the club although they never won the title. A couple of seasons later he left after a disagreement with the club, and after a succession of managers Town lost their Premier status in 1989/90. Brian Hill was again appointed manager to put Town back in the Premier Division and after 3 seasons in the wilderness won the First Division Championship in 1993/94 in fine style scoring more goals and recording more points than ever before. Jimmy Hargreaves, Eddie Kelly, Phil Lloyd, Mark Jenkins and John Hore have all tried the manager's seat since but all without success. Jeff Evans was appointed manager in 2002 and along with his assistant Peter Buckingham guided the club to the final of The Devon Bowl where they were narrowly beaten by Tiverton Town. The following season Peter Buckingham took over as sole manager and Barum finished in seventh place in the league, their highest finish for many a season. During the 2008/09 season Owen Pickard took over the manager s seat for his first taste of management and was able to save the club from what looked like certain relegation at the Christmas period of the season. Owen Pickard left at the end of the season and the team is now lead by Dave Griffiths and former second team manager Terry Chapple. With the club now working within their means Town are now fielding a much younger side with many of their players experiencing Western League football for the first time. Barnstaple remained in the Premier League until the end of the 2012/13 season when they were relegated to Division One the first time in their history that they had finished at the bottom of their division. The gloom surrounding Mill Road was to be short lived as in the December of 2013 the club appointed the joint management team of Barry Yeo and Karl Baggaley and the rest, as they say, is history. Building a squad where, on occasions, all eleven players on the field were born in Barnstaple surely a record that not many teams at any level of football would be able to equal, the managers turned the 2013/14 season around and finished a creditable 3 rd. In their first full season in charge, 2014/15, the club returned to the Premier Division by winning the First Division title for the 3 rd time in its history. Their total of 100 points, 128 goals scored and a goal difference of 101 were among 15 club records set during the year, in addition to reaching the final of the Les Phillips Cup for the second time. 2015/16 was to be equally successful. After an average start the team went on two long unbeaten runs which saw them finish as runners up in the Premier Division, missing out on back to back titles by just 3 points, but securing the coveted prize of promotion to the Southern League Division One South & West. This would see them playing at the highest level in the club s history the biggest step the club had taken since joining the Western League in At the end of 2016/17, having secured Southern League football for a second season with a 17 th place finish, the management duo stood down and as is often the case in these situations, most of the players also left for challenges elsewhere. Richard Pears left Exmouth Town and took over as manager during the summer and took Barnstaple Town into 2017/18 with virtually a completely new squad. After a run of poor results he decided to step down in the December and his assistants Kevin Darch and David Griffiths were appointed managers initially to the end of the season.
