Good afternoon and welcome to the Harry Williams

Riverside Stadium for this afternoon’s clash with Buxton. We

hope everyone who has made the trip over has an enjoyable

afternoon and a safe trip home later.

Well where do I start other than the treat that was served

up last Saturday against Belper Town. Firstly the support was

fantastic and the lads have asked me to thank you all - it

really does have a great feel around the ground on a

matchday nowadays, so thank you.

On to the game itself, and the general consensus was that

it was a fantastic game: end to end football with two teams

going all out for the win. It had great goals and a sending off

in the mix which all contributed to good afternoon’s

entertainment - don’t get me wrong, there were certain

aspects of the performance which we weren’t happy with,

but thats the way we are - we strive to keep evolving as a

team and to keep improving. To play for 70 minutes a man

light and still win was very pleasing, e lads put a massive

shift in and the work-rate was really pleasing. After the

disappointment over at Frickley, to return six points from

six is just desserts for the hard graft the lads have put in over

the two tough midweek training sessions.

So that brings me onto today. Buxton as we know will be

a tough test - anyone who travelled over for the FA Cup

game a few weeks back will know they are a good side and

you only have to look at both the league table and the form

table to see they are flying, just like ourselves. I’m sure it will

be a fascinating game today, one which we certainly are

looking forward to. A win keeps us in and around the top

five, but a Buxton win edges them that little bit further away

from us, so its important to get behind the lads today, make

as much noise as you can and help us in the quest for

another three points..

Welcome to the Harry Williams

Riverside Stadium. A special welcome to

our match officials, and of course, our

visitors from the lovely Peak District town

of Buxton. We have, of course, already

played the Bucks this season. It was my

first visit to Silverlands for around 25

years, but as soon as I walked through the

turnstiles, I felt as though I had never

been away, other than the hill having

vanished behind the far goal. What other

hobby allows you to wallow in nostalgia

like that?

On the day we went out of the FA Cup

by the odd goal in five, but it really was

the classic case of a “game of two halves”.

For the first 45 minutes we were poor,

and went in three goals down as well as

having missed a penalty. It all looked

rather bleak during the break, but a much

better second half saw us claw back two

goals and the home side’s fans were

relieved to hear the final whistle, as we

continued to press in search of an

equaliser. Plenty to enjoy there, so

hopefully it will be a case of the same

here this afternoon.

GOAL OF THE SEASON?

It was definitely

entertaining last

Saturday, and a

pleasure to see so many

youngsters present – they are our

supporters of the future. One comment

that stayed with me came from someone

I had been trying to tempt down to the

HWRS for some time. He came with his

two little ones, and as he passed my box

at half-time he looked in and

commented “is should be on Pay-per-

view, it’s that good!”.

Another guy who I’ve seen at many

Bury matches also turned up, I think for

the first time here, and he left with a big

grin and thumbs up.

It was good to see a good crowd on –

our average League attendance has

grown to 312 so far this season - and

those who did come along for a change

could hardly have failed to be impressed

with the entertainment on offer.

Cedric was so unlucky, but we can have

no complaints as the referee was left with

no option. Believe it or not, he was

almost distraught at having to produce

the red card. He told me that it was the

first time in four seasons that he has had

to send someone off. And some

supporters think match officials have no

heart!

But what about Whiz’s second goal?!

If that had been in the professional

game they’d have shown it time and

again. (WE can view it on rammy.tv

though!). It was an absolute belter from

tony cunninghamand the wonderful world of

non-league football

p

fully 35 yards. e Belper keeper had no

chance as it fairly … er….whizzed into the

back of the net. Worth the admission money

alone, and already a favourite to be named

goal of the season come next May.

Well done, also, to Osebi for winning the

Supporters Club’s “Player of the Month”

award for September. e speedy winger has

become a firm favourite here at the HWRS

during his short time with us, and once again

he had a fine game last week.

So here we are, as we enter the autumn

period, sitting in the play-off spots. We’d have

all taken that at the beginning of the

campaign, and just three years ago, anyone

suggesting such a position would have been

considered mad. e progress made has been

immense. As our Chairman would say (and he

did with great joy at Darlington) “Not bad for

a village team!”

Today should prove quite a test for us.

Buxton have had a superb season so far and

will provide our toughest test to date.

Let’s hope that many who came for the first

time last week are back again today, and

hopefully they will continued to be tempted

to watch what is an excellent standard of non-

league football. Don’t you just love it!

FINALLY….

Can I just pass on my thanks to Paul

Cropper, who has taken the match reporting

duties off me. Not only has he saved me a

lengthy job, but his reports are gems! I look

forward to reading them as he mixes the facts

with a certain amount of humour. Excellent!

anks, Paul, and well done!

Enjoy your non-league football!

Osebi receiving hisPlayer of theMonth award fromsupporter DavidNewby

p

e supporters really enjoyed

Saturday's game against Belper,

particularly the way we coped with losing

a man early-on. How did it feel on the

pitch?

For me not much changes when

someone is sent off, but for the lads in

the middle the work rate increases. And

I know the lads cover a lot of ground

when we have eleven men so you can

imagine how hard it gets with a man

down. But we all coped well with the

situation and got the win.

A few of us feel that the dismissal of a

player as well as the award of a penalty is

a like a double punishment, do you agree

that it should be one or the other if it's

not dangerous play?

I agree with you you on this matter. I

think it is more than enough of a

punishment to give the pen, but to send

the accused off as well to me seems as

you said double punishment. We all

remember Andy Dawson's tackle at

Barrow - to give a penalty for that

tackle is a dreadful decision, but

to then send him off seems

very harsh. But that's

something for the FA I guess, I

don't think I'm alone as a

player in saying I’d like that

rule to change.

We've watched back the video of

Cedric's tackle a load of times and

although we thought at the time that it

was a stonewall penalty, it looks like he

did nothing wrong. How did it seem to

you?

I had the best view in the ground

which is why I protested so much. Ceders

passed the man after he fell while trying

to set himself. I've not seen video but I'm

99% sure he didn't touch him. And the

big guy said same thing in the changing

room - but being Cedric he didn't say it

very loud, just a whisper and a smile.

We conceded yet another header at the

far post from a long ball. Any idea why

this seems to be a weakness, and what we

can do about it?

We play attacking football and we play

with high wingers. With new additions to

the squad and some of the lads changing

positions, some of the lads are still

getting used to their new jobs. But

mainly I think it's down to the physical

level in this league - all the teams we are

playing have big strong men and they are

good at what they do. We're starting to

deal with it better I think. We're just

gonna work hard to get better all round.

e official attendance was

about 400. How did the increase

in numbers feel on the pitch

(particularly with more kids) and

do you think that bigger

attendances is something we

need to continue working on as

a club?

It was great playing in front of

a big crowd and we would love

for the crowds to keep growing.

I mean, from a personal point of

view I was getting sweets from a

young lad behind my goal which

is always good as I love sweets.

But we appreciate the support

from everyone who attends our

games so on behalf of the players

,keep up the support. And thank

you.

Saturday’s game felt like the

pick of the season to-date, but

Buxton are a great side and are

on fine form at the moment. Did

we learn anything about them

last time out that will be of use

today?

I think Saturday was a great

team display, and we worked

really hard for each other so you

could be right in saying it was

pick of the season so far. As for

Buxton we know they are a very

good side who play very direct

football. It's really effective, but

I'd like to think we learnt a lot

about them in the FA Cup game

and I know we have the quality

to deal with their threat. Going

forward we have bags of talent

to score goals so it should make

for another very entertaining

game at the Harry Williams

Riverside Stadium.

Is it true that the lads have

been making you run up the

Rake?

e very infamous Rammy

Rake! I've only heard people talk

about this place a few times. And

then come last Tuesday evening.

e dreaded text from Anthony,

“Bring Runners lads, meet at the

ground.” When we got there

some lads seemed to have

*ahem* picked up knocks on

way to the ground from their

house! e Gaffers said, “One

mile run boys, then up a little hill,

then one mile back - easy night.”

e one mile there is all uphill so

that's hard enough. en we

were faced with the hill/ cliff

face. We did about eight sprints

and a run back. So yes it was true

and something I wouldn't mind

having an injury for next time.

Peel Tower - itdoesn’t lookthat far, howhard can it be?

Dom Smalley’s cross to thefar-post for Phil Dean totuck away goal number one

p

It could have come as no surprise that two teams

who had so far scored and conceded 101 goals

between them so far would serve another multi-goal

extravaganza in which attacking flair and panache was

matched by some clueless and incoherent defending.

All teams like to play at home of course but the Rams

seem to have a particular affinity for their tight

Riverside pitch on which they carve out a quality space

and openings around the box that can elude them on

larger grounds. Phil Dean, who has had a bit of a

frustrating time of it so far this season lit the touch

paper to a tumultuous first 20 minutes in which

defending amounted to a dance of the seven veils with

each team contriving to denude their goalkeepers of

cover and support. On 3 minutes a neat inter-change

between Dominic Smalley and Osebi Abadaki ripped

asunder the Belper defence and Dean slid in at the far

post. Minutes later it was the turn of the Rams defence

to fall into a collective amnesia to populate their

penalty area giving Jon Froggatt all the time and space

in the world to equalise.

Dean then brought the ground to its feet with a

thunderous shot from all of 35 yards that left a startled

James Martin in the Belper goal floundering and

flapping like a hooked salmon as the ball crashed into

the top corner. Back came Belper, looking anything but

a bottom of the league team - but who does in this

division? Grant Shelton tipped over before more

ambiguous defending allowed Froggatt to steal into the

area. Cedric Krou hooked his feet away, received an

unarguable red card and Ross scored from the penalty

spot.

p

Osebi Abadaki, themuscular menace!

p

It took a little time for the Rams to reorganise but

assisted by some broken play littered by niggling

fouls they neutralised the visitors efforts to take

advantage of the extra man . Dean now

repositioned at left back continued to cause a

threat wide. As the half time whistle beckoned

Abadaki, a muscular menace, ghosted in on his

astute low ball from the left and neatly guided the

ball round the keeper into the bottom corner to

restore a well earned lead.

From then the Rams never looked like being a

man short, defending comfortably as Aaron Cole

a threat on the right for Belper started to fade and

looking dangerous on the counter attack. Scott

Burton and Gary Stopforth matched elegance

with hard work in the middle. Clever

substitutions by the Rams mid way through the

half bolstered some flagging legs . Jordan Hulme

released Tom Williams into acres of space James

Martin doing well to tip his shot round the post.

Jon Robinson being cleverly used as an impact

player to close out games headed Hulme's deep

cross neatly back across the keeper to give a two

goal cushion and the Rams cruised last 15

minutes into the play-off places.

“We’ve been really surprised to see

you warming the bench for a good part

of the season so far, but on Saturday you

left the traps like a greyhound, scoring

two goals very early on - one of them is

a real Goal of the Season contender. Did

you have something to prove?”

“Yeah, I felt like I did. I started the

season pretty poorly, with my head still

being in America where I played over

summer. It took me a long while to get

back into life over here, and into

recapturing the Rammy spirit. I would

like to go back over there again, but I

won’t have the same problems when I

return.”

“How do things compare over there,

football-wise?”

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been after

playing over there. Everything is geared

towards running, even five-a-side is

played on a much bigger pitch, so

everything is about running and less

about those tight-in skills that we work

on a lot over here. Everything is

very very athletic. Although

most of our team was

European, the

opposition are all

American, and they

are all incredibly athletic. You can see

with Jordan just how his game improved

over a few months in that style of

football, it’s very good for you.”

“Can you tell us a little bit about what

life was like in America, and are the

supporters just as you’d expect them to

be - a lot of whooping and cheering and

so on?”

“It’s un-real. e weather was amazing,

the way of life is incredible, but you

know that it’s not real, it’s just for

summer. e people who live there are

very friendly, and once they discover

you’re from England they go out of their

way to look after you.

“e fans had just started a fan-club

this year, and because of the World Cup,

football had become a bit of a fad for

them. We had about 3000 at the play-off

final starting flares, singing, cheering and

the like. But they don’t know as much

about football as fans do over here, they

don’t really get it. For example, as a

player if you had a nothing game but

scored a goal in the last few minutes

then you’d be an absolute hero whereas

if you’d created all kinds in the middle

but not put the ball in the net then you’d

be ignored or forgotten.”

Wizzzzzzzzzzz...six years and over two hundred games

Buxton in action againstWitton Albion

“So how are you finding this level? In the

Evostik Division One there were a few duff

teams that were quite physical, but lacking

some of the more skillful players. is

season we don’t get the pleasure of any of

those as every team is quality.”

“To be honest, we do better against the

more skillful teams. If someone comes to try

and play football against us then we play

our best. If you think back to the games at

places like Prescot or Ossett Town, we really

struggled to get going there. ey even

watered the pitch at Ilkeston, and that’s like

a dream for a team like ours!”

“When a player of your class, with a load of

offers from bigger clubs over the summer,

has to watch games from the touchline, do

you end up really wanting to prove yourself,

or do you just start thinking ‘sod ya, I’m

off!’”?

“You have to go out in a game, when you

get a start, and show that you really want

the spot. I haven’t got anyone to blame but

myself for being on the bench, so it’s no

good having a go at anyone. It’s all in my

head. It’s not something I’ve really struggled

with before, and it’s been hard early-on this

season. I’ve got myself properly focussed

now, and I think that showed on Saturday.”

“From the touchline, we as fans wonder

about the way you perform. For example, if

you’re playing well then there’s no stopping

you - like on Saturday, we could see

that you were going to have a hell

of a game - but then if a

defender clobbers you

then your head seems

to go down, is that

how it feels?”

“ I think that’s the thing with wingers. It’s

probably the hardest position on the pitch

because whenever you get the ball you’re

expected to do something exciting. No-one

else has that kind of pressure, and it is easy

for your head to drop if things aren’t going

your way, and then everyone gets

disappointed in you, and then your head

drops further. is is why you’ll find there

are a lot of wingers who can be a bit

inconsistent.”

“So do you feel the supporters getting on

your back at Rammy, or are they supportive

even when things aren’t necessarily going

your way?

“is is one of the great things at Rammy

- we don’t really have the whingers who’ll

get on your back. We’ve got so used to

winning, and of having players who give it

our all - you know that we’re all running

ourselves into the ground, even if things

aren’t going our way, and you know what

we’re all capable of. I’ve only ever known

Rammy, as I’ve been here six years, but from

the feelings you get at other places - where

fans start moaning if things aren’t going

their way - I reckon we’ve got a top

atmosphere here.”

“How do you think Rammy will ultimately

do this season, do you think we’ll make the

playoffs or settle for mid-table?”

“I’d like to think we can make the playoffs.

Whatever league we’re in we can always

compete, and we never get walked over, no

matter who we play. It’d be nice to get in the

playoffs, and nothing less than the lads

deserve.”

p

Scoring a goal against Stamford

- another 50p in the swear box!

“I know what it feels like when you’ re a

fan, but when you play for Rammy, what

are the things that stand out for you as

unique?”

“It is difficult to say, as all I’ve ever

known is playing here. I suppose the main

thing is that everyone just seems to have

fun. I can’t imagine many changing rooms

or managers like ours, and I think that’s

why players stick around as long as they

do, and why players like Danny and Billy

miss the club so much.e fans are

something special too, and I’d really like to

thank everyone who chipped in for the

collection you had for my 200 games -

things like that are so important and make

you feel really good about playing here.”

“Do you think that will help us keep the

more fickle players, such as Osebi who

seems to have had more clubs than hot

dinners?”

“Definitely. Johnno and Bernard are

really good at getting the best out of

players, though they can be sods,

especially when you’re running up the

Rake on a Tuesday night. at’s not nice!”

“We’ve always been dying to know how

you ended up with the nickname Wiz, and

what it means.”

“I don’t really know. At the very first

training session I went to, Bernard called

me ‘Wiz’, and the name has just stuck. I

don’t know if it’s Wizard, or Whizz or

Wizzer, it’s sort of all of them!”

“Have you been booked for swearing this

season, or have you cleaned out that potty

mouth?”

“Twice for tackling, but no bookings for

swearing. at’s the way it’s going to stay

this season!”

rammy in exilesky sports statto richard isaacs

Well, good afternoon everyone - hope

all are well and wrapping up warm.

Summer has certainly ended here in the

tropical south - you kind of get that

impression when my dentist appointment

last Monday morning was cancelled due

to the surgery being closed due to

weekend flooding! At least we have the

Rams to keep us warm and content.

Middle of October and fifth in the

table? Yes, ok ok, it is still very early days

and we are not even half-way through the

season but the lads have done us

incredibly proud so far and to even be

fifth in this league, following our

promotion last season, shows just what

resolve we have. Playing for 70 minutes

with only 10 men, courtesy of Cedric's red

card - which, having looked at the video

is a little bit 'could be/might not be' - was

a terrific effort, of course albeit against the

side at the bottom of the table.

Today will be a totally different

challenge. From playing bottom of the

table to playing the team in second, all

in the space of a week. We have

already crossed swords this year with

Buxton - getting the better of the FA Cup

game - but only just, so this could be a

real belter here at the Harry Williams

Riverside Stadium and I really hope

there is a bumper crowd here for this

'top of the table' clash ... sounds good,

doesn't it!

Anyone who has seen our forum recently

will have noticed that I did a few stats and

here are a few more (well I am a

statistician by trade so I may as well!). e

figures are really telling, and it follows the

development of the team under Bernard

and Anthony.

In the year before they came,

attendances averaged just 116 in the

2008/2009 season. Now, we are getting

close to THREE times the amount of

people coming through the gate, and that

matches the outstanding performances

on the park.

2007-2008: 123 (19 games)

2008-2009: 116 (21 games)

A&B ERA STARTS:

2009-2010: 138 (21 games)

2011-2012: 197 (21 games)

2012-2013: 232 (21 games)

2013-2014: 262 (21 games)

2014-2015: 312 (7 games)

So, why are people coming to watch us

now? ere are so many answers to that

but first on the list is quite simple - the

team. We do not get to where we are now

without making people sit up and take

notice. I can only vouch for myself. When

I first started watching Rammy, if you had

something better to do, you would go and

do it. You arrived more in hope than

expectation. It was more for the pie and

p

peas and tea in a proper mug than

watching the Rams of the day. Now - well,

it’s completely unmissable.

I also think that our outstanding media

coverage has also boosted our profile

massively. Tony's (and now Paul's) match

reports, Rob's pictures, invention of

rammy.tv and the excellent coverage,

Andy and Katie on the twitter and

everyone's enthusiasm, coupled with the

Rossendale Free Press, Bury Times and

Lancashire Telegraph's efforts, has made

everyone in the local area take notice.

Bury supporters, amongst many others,

now have a 'second team' to come and

watch, people around the town know we

exist and it is absolutely brilliant. And that

all comes back to Anthony and Bernard's

incredible turn around of our club's

fortunes.

Who remembers the summer of 2009?

Harry appoints these two nippers. Many

think he has lost his marbles. And we lose

the first game 5-0 to Newcastle Town ...

everyone laughs. Same ol' Rammy!

Bottom of the NWCFL Premier Division

table, going to be one of those seasons,

like the majority of those that preceded it.

And now look (we know another club

who are bottom of the NWCFL Premier

Division table ......)

Our crowds are getting bigger. Our

crowds are getting louder. Gone are the

days of the sole voice shouting like a loony

(that will be me then!). And long may it

continue. Where can this club go? Are we

fifth for a reason and what happens if we

stay there? What does the future hold. If

it is anything like the last five years .... strap

yourself in!

Due to Blyth Spartans making another

one of their famous F.A. Cup runs this

season, the Rams’ away game against

them on Saturday October 25th has been

postponed. Don’t panic about having a

Rammy-less Saturday though as we have

re-arranged to play Marine that day

instead, so calm down soft lad! (please

note, that the Marine game was originally

set for the following Tuesday 28th

October).

Based in Crosby, Merseyside, Marine

play their football at e Arriva

Stadium where they have been

based since 1903. Originally, the

ground was called Rossett Park,

but in 2003 they struck a

sponsorship deal to re-name it.

One of the things I despise

about modern football is

the renaming of

traditional

grounds, but I

suppose you

could argue that, at

non-league level, any

money coming into the

coffers is vital. If it keeps the

club alive then it is certainly

not as bad as Mike Ashley

renaming St James Park to e

Corporate Interest Stadium.

Marine share the ground with

AFC Liverpool (the scouse version

of F.C. United).

ey have reached the F.A. Cup 1st Round

on no fewer than 10 occasions, with their

best run coming in 1993, losing 3-1 to

Crewe Alexandra in the 3rd Round.

e early 1990’s saw Marine with one of

their most successful sides ever and

followed their cup exploits by winning the

Northern Premier League in both 1994

and 1995. Going further back into their

history, Marine reached the Amateur Cup

Final in 1932, although they lost to

Dulwich Hamlets, in front of 22,000

people at West Ham’s, Upton Park.

Two legendary football names are linked

with Marine, one famous and one not so

famous. One of my footballing heroes,

Kenny Dalglish, is a patron of the club

(Dalglish is not only one of the best

footballers I have seen live, but I will

always hold him in high esteem due to

how he handled himself following the

Hillsborough disaster). e lesser known

name linked with the club is Roly Howard

(what an evocative football name) who

managed Marine from 1972 – 2005,

taking 1,975 games in charge, a world

record that is recognised by e Guinness

Book of Records. Hopefully, this record

will stand until it is broken by Bernard and

Jonno in 2038!

If you get there early enough, and the

wind and rain are not biting too hard, you

might want to pay a visit to Crosby Beach

which is where Antony Gormley’s statues,

‘Another Place’, can be seen on the beach

and protruding out of the sea. ere is

also a tenuous local connection with

Ramsbottom, in that Cherie Blair was

brought up in Crosby after being born just

down the road from us at Fairfield

Hospital in Bury.

e journey will be nowhere near as long

as Blyth Spartans, about 1 hour and 15

minutes, so lets make sure we have

another large away day following and

make plenty of noise.

YOU RAMS! YOU RAMS!

Anthony Gormley’s creepy artwork is wortha look if you want sleepless nights.

Born in January 1991, this 6ft 2” goalkeeper

joined Rammy from FC United at the end of

August 2010. He was number two at FC

United, but a superb season in 2010/11 saw

him win Player of the Year for the Rams. He

Signed full-time with the club at the start of

2011/12.

Signed for the club after impressing the

managers when he played against the Rams

for Atherton LR. Adds a whole new

dimension to the Riversiders’ squad, and

equally at home on the right side as either a

defender or attacking winger.. Brother of

Plymouth Argyle’s Deane Smalley.

Battling midfield who signed for the club in

2011 following the demise of Rossendale

United, for whom he scored a hat-trick in the

ridiculous 7-5 Rammy win the previous

season. Won the NWCFL title with the club

and was offered terms with Conference

Premier side Hyde but returned to the club

on loan, eventually signing full terms.

Signed from local rivals Radcliffe Borough

after a spell playing in Australia, the big man

is equally at home in the heart of the

defence, or up front poaching goals.

Wing man Tom came on as a sub in the play-

off game for our opponents Bamber Bridge.

e Rams management team acted swiftly

in the summer to bring him down to

Ramsbottom

Former Burnley professional player who is a

model of consistency, wherever he is picked.

A previous Player of the Year award-winner,

Joel is a firm favourite with the fans at the

Harry Williams Riverside Stadium, and has

played over 200 games for the club.

It has taken some two years for the

management to finally get Scott to join the

Rams. Bernard and Jonno have followed

Scott’s career with Runcorn Town and he

finally joined the club in late January 2014.

A hard-working midfielder, similar in style to

Gary Stopforth, and an integral part of the

promotion winning team.

Steve HOWSON Joel PILKINGTON

Scott BURTONTom WILLIAMS

p

Experienced striker Jon was signed from New

Mills and despite plentiful interest from

other clubs has remained loyal to the Rams

for a number of seasons now, and always

finishes near the top of the goal-scoring

charts. Regarded as a “Rammy legend” in

east Lancashire..

A constant threat in attack, a solid

performer in defence. Awarded Clubman of

the Year award in 2011. Continues to cause

plentiful problems to defences around the

leagues.

Signed at the end of August 2011 from

Manchester League side Walshaw Sports and

has taken his opportunity with some relish.

Last season the 29 year old won the Golden

Boot accolade for being the highest scorer in

the Division One North.

Joined the club in December 2011 from

Clitheroe via Padiham. Son of a former

1990s Rammy favourite Martin, midfielder

Jordan is highly rated and scored 8 goals for

the Storks before going to Clitheroe. A

versatile player – he can play anywhere from

defence to striker.

buxton f.c.playing at dizzying heights since 1877

Formed as an offshoot of the town's cricket

club, Buxton F.C. began life in the autumn of

1877. Its first game took place on Saturday,

October 27th, at e Park (still the home of

the cricket club) when 14 members picked

sides for a 7-a-side match.

Situated 1000 feet above sea level, the

Silverlands is the highest ground within the

Pyramid of soccer - and substantially higher

than the highest Football League ground

(e Hawthorns).

e club entered e Combination in 1891

and joined the Manchester League in 1899,

winning the championship in 1931/32,

which prompted a move to the Cheshire

League for the following season (though the

reserve side remained in the Manchester

League and won the title in 1959/60). It took

40 years to bring the Cheshire League title to

Buxton, though the club had been runners-

up in 1962/63. Promotion to the NPL for the

1973/74 season was an opportunity eagerly

seized and honours in this league comprise

the winning of the President's Cup in

1980/81 and a League Cup final appearance

at Maine Road in 1990/91.

e club's highest NPL final placing was 4th

position achieved in 1980/81, though it was

not until September 10th, 1991 "the Bucks"

actually topped the NPL (eventually finishing

5th). Buxton’s best years in the F.A. Cup came

in the two decades after World War Two. In

1951/52 the club, having defeated then

Football League Club, Aldershot, 4-3,

reached the third round proper only to lose

2-0 at Division 2 side Doncaster Rovers, while

first round appearances followed in 1958 and

1962. However in 2003/04 Buxton reached

the fourth qualifying round only to meet

their match at Nigel Clough’s Burton Albion.

p

e early days of the F.A. Trophy however

saw the club develop a considerable

reputation, reaching the quarter-finals in

1970/71 and 1971/72. A full member of the

F.A. and the Derbyshire F.A., Buxton F.C. has

won the Derbyshire Senior Cup 10 times,

including 3 times in the 1980's.

e Bucks got off to a disappointing start

in 2011/12 and John Reed and Clive Freeman

left the club in November by mutual

consent. e managerial reigns were initially

picked up by experienced player/coach Scott

Maxfield, who brought in ex-Sheffield FC

manager Chris Dolby as his assistant, but

Martin McIntosh was appointed manager in

February with ‘Maxi’ as his assistant. Results

picked up immediately and a remarkable run

of 10 wins from 12 matches at the end of the

campaign left the Bucks in 13th place when

relegation looked odds on at one stage. To

cap the season off the Bucks gained revenge

over a young Derby County side in a repeat

of the previous season’s Derbyshire Cup Final

to lift the cup with a Mark Reed goal.

In 2012/13 the Bucks finished a very

creditable 7th in Martin McIntosh’s first full

season in charge and last season, after signing

experienced former full-time professionals

like Andy Warrington and Derek Niven, the

club made a good start to the campaign but

a poor run of form around Christmas time

ended any play-off hopes and needed some

solid late-season performances to finish

13th. e lack of goals scored last season was

a factor that the club will be trying to address

and the early pre-season capture of Liam

Hardy and Shaun Tuton has added fire-

power to the squad.

CRAIG KING -Midfield (23), creative

midfielder who signed for the Bucks in the

summer of 2013. Chesterfield-born King

came through the ranks at Leicester City,

making an odd first-team appearance, and

also represented the Scotland Under-19’s

team on two occasions while with the Foxes.

He spent nearly the whole of the 2009/10

season on loan at Hereford United, scoring 3

times in 26 appearances, before being

transferred to AFC Telford United in the

summer of 2011 after another loan spell, this

time at Northampton Town. He spent one

season at Telford before joining Worksop

Town for the 2012/13 season. Craig was

voted supporters player-of-the-season last

term and found the net 8 times in 53 (1)

appearances.

DEREK NIVEN-Midfield (30), Falkirk-born

Niven came through the ranks at

Stenhousemuir before signing for Raith in

the summer of 2000, making his debut the

following January. Sam Allardyce took him to

Bolton later in 2001 but he never made a first

team appearance in nearly two years and was

transferred to Chesterfield in December

2003. Derek made a big name for himself in

nine seasons with ‘the Spireites’, making

nearly 300 league appearances, despite

battling illness for a time and will go down in

history as the last player to ever score a

league goal at Chesterfield’s old Saltergate

ground in their 2-1 victory over AFC

Bournemouth in May 2010. He was released

in the summer of 2012 and signed a one-year

contract at Grimsby Town before joining the

Bucks in the summer of 2013.He scored once

in 38 (4) appearances last season. two

When Neil Sedaka recorded One Way

Ticket to the Blues back in 1960, I’m sure he

was not singing about an away day at

Frickley, but never has a song been so

appropriate. For our recent trip to West

Yorkshire. I had decided to organise a coach

to take the supporters, although this is

something I do not normally get involved

in (for a bloody good reason I can hear you

all shouting), but sometimes you just have

to show willing.

Anyway, after a week of messaging people

and making phone calls, we had a full

complement of sixteen Ultras leaving

Ramsbottom at 12.00 for the short (ish)

journey up the M62. Everything was going

well and we made excellent progress, and

were on the outskirts of Frickley not long

after 1.00. is was when the first sign of

things to come occurred. I asked the driver

if we could stop for a pint and some lunch

just outside of the town, but he said he had

another job to go to, so we carried on and

arrived at the ground for 1.30. Upon arrival,

the driver said he

had no knowledge

of being booked to

take us back for the

return trip which

set me into

something of a

panic. While Little

Katie was trawling

through my e-mails

for proof of a return

trip, Mrs Darkside was on the phone to the

travel company but all to no avail. A few

more phone calls and we had established

that there would be enough travelling

Ultras in cars to make sure we all could get

home safely after the game, so we bade our

driver a (not so) fond farewell

We then made our way into the ground,

me with a very red and embarrassed face,

and made our way to the bar. It was not

long before I was getting a text from Martin

‘Julius Caesar’ Hulme who was in Chester,

calling me Mr Shearings.. I realised then

that this would go down in Rammy folklore

and will never be forgotten so I consoled

myself in a pint of Bombardier in the

Frickley clubhouse. Luckily, there was

another excellent away following and by

3.00 there seemed to be as many Rammy

Ultras there as home supporters.

e first half saw Rammy racing into a

2-0 lead and the half time pint tasted much

sweeter as we looked forward to more of

the same in the second half and another 3

points to take home to East Lancashire.

...how wrong we were. Full credit to our

hosts who absolutely battered us in the

second half and came away with a 4-2

victory, although it could have been more

if it was not for Shents making some fine

saves. At the final whistle both teams were

applauded from the pitch by both sets of

supporters who seemed to be in agreement

on the officials, who quite rightly got booed

off (not sour grapes here as we were saying

from the darksidedarren comer reports on the latest

rammy ultras adventures

p

from the darkside

the quality was poor even when we were in

the lead).

I enjoyed the Frickley supporters company

on the day, especially after some of the

previous weeks’ scare-mongering when

some said it would be like going to the Old

Den at Millwall wearing a West Ham shirt.

Myself, Mrs Darkside and Callum the

Camera had managed to get a lift back with

Dave and his son Young Jake, and we had a

great journey home in the

end. e highlight of the

journey home was passing a

car that had stopped on the

hard shoulder of the M62 so

that a certain, nameless Ultra

could relieve himself of the

afternoon’s beers.

We arrived back in Rammy

at 6.00 and made our way

down to the cricket club for a

few more beers and a bit more

mickey taking out of yours

truly, only this time it included

the players, management and

of course, Harry was never going to let me

get away with this one lightly. What the

travel disaster did show is that we really are

a family at Rammy and that we all pulled

together to make sure everyone got home

from Frickley. anks to all who gave us lifts

home and many more apologies to those

who travelled armed only with a One Way

Ticket to the Blues.

Malc toys with getting

a pie, but wonders if

it’ll be like a proper

pie from Lancashire

Now we know

where Frickley is,

but we’re not so

sure about the place

p

As I looked around the large crowd last

week, I couldn’t help giving a little smile at

how far Rammy has come. We visit so many

clubs, even at this level, where the support

comprises nobbut a load of old fellas, yet at

Rammy we find that a huge proportion of

our supporters are women and children. As

I’ve said last week, they aren’t just footy

families doing dad’s thing, but real fans who

know what’s going on, understand the game,

and know the players... and why the heck not!

I was also reading about this ‘Rooney Rule’

in America, where clubs are forced to

interview black candidates for managerial

jobs, and the possibility that the FA may

introduce it in this country. Perhaps things

are different in America, or even elsewhere in

this country, but I consider that singling out

someone based on their race is not relevant

in football, or in life. At Rammy we have black

players and white players, and ginger players

- who cares! Our players get into the team

based purely on their ability, which is exactly

as it should be, and if we appointed a

manager it would similarly be based on their

ability! Last month Jordan Hulme was voted

Supporters Player of the

Month, this time around

it was Osebi Abadaki -

does it matter what

colour they are? We

are a completely

inclusive club,

without having to get

things forced on us,

and I can’t help thinking

that something like this “Rooney Rule” will

just create animosity where none currently

exists - particularly in places that are perhaps

not as open and accepting as Rammy.

Oops - I ended up ranting, when all I meant

to say was that I was proud about the

diversity of the Rammy Family - supporters

and players alike. I hope that Saturday’s

crowd, and great atmosphere shows us all

that we need children at our matches, and

we need to take steps to make our games a

more attractive proposition than a visit to

other local clubs.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank

Callum and Jack for the sterling work that

they’re putting into helping make rammy.tv

a success. ey’re both very talented, and it’s

great to have them onboard. I thought it was

great testament to the Rammy Experience

that Callum asked us to get him a Rammy

shirt to say thanks for all his hard work - he

seemed pretty chuffed that he had it

presented by Bernard too.

Just a quick note about the parking

situation at Rammy, after a heated meeting

we’ve just had in the Oaks. If you get to the

ground after about 2:35pm then please don’t

even attempt to get down the service road. I

spent half an hour running around trying to

unpick the grid-lock a couple of weeks ago,

and everyone involved was going nowhere

and getting extremely frustrated. It’s an issue

that desperately needs dealing with, but until

it’s addressed we’ll just have to use our own

common sense and avoid the area in the

minutes preceding the match.
