F.A Vase draw

Glossop North End have been drawn away against Billingham Town F.C in the F.A.Vase, the game to be played on Saturday November 19th.
Billingham are based in Cleveland which is near Middlesbrough.
They play in the STL Northern League Division 1 and sit 17th in the league, they are on a decent run winning their last 3 games 2 at home and 1 away.
They play in the same league as our North East foes Whitley Bay.
The Supporters Club will be running a coach to this game and the cost will be £10 a seat and we ask anyone wishing to reserve a seat on this coach do so on the clubs message board under the heading Coach travel to Billingham Town.
We would ask anyone reserving a seat/seats on the coach pay for them by the 12th November please.
we will be up against it so It would be nice to take a healthy following up there to support the lads and hopefully cheer them on to a good result.
So dont miss out on this good away day and get your seat booked early to avoid any disappointment.

F.A Vase is back at Surrey Street

This weekend see's the F.A.Vase cup competition return to Surrey Street with the visit of Blidworth Welfare FC.
May i take this opportunity to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Blidworth Welfare FC to Glossop North End.
Todays match is the 1st round of the Vase and hopefully GNE can get the win and send themselves into the next round and as we have seen who knows.
Blidworth Welfare are a team in transition with their manager leaving at the end of last season and taking a number of their players.
Blidworth are rebuilding a squad and are enduring mixed results in there league campaign but will be coming to GNE with nothing to lose.
GNE and the GNE faithfull will of course give them the utmost respect and they will recieve the customary good welcome travelling teams and supporters get when visiting us.
Hope to see a good crowd today and lets make some noise to encourage our lads.
Good luck to the team.

Back down to earth

weekend saw Bootle visiting Surrey Street for a league game that never took off certainly for GNE.
Bootle to be fair did try and get the ball down and played some decent football especially for their goal which was a well worked move resulting in a good headed goal which proved to be enough for our guests to take all 3 points.
GNE played a lot of long balls to Sam up front which didn't work as everytime he managed to get on the end of the pass he was isolated and could not keep the ball long enough for any support which seemed to take an age arriving.
Bootle deserved their win and GNE need to dust themselves down and prepare for a busy week ahead.
New Mills will be the visitors during the week in the Manchester cup so it will be interesting to see what the coaching team do with regards team selection for this one as we have the F.A Vase game at the weekend.
Hope to see good crowds for these games and good luck to GNE

Another great win

Saturday saw GNE travel to ST Helens and from all reports played some excellent football and came away with a fine result winning 5-2 infront of another large travelling army of GNE fans.
GNE now find themselves fourth in the league 3 points behind league leaders Flixton who are our next apponents on Wednesday night.
We are playing well and scoring goals for fun with 10 in our last 2 matches but something that should not be overlooked is our defending which is providing the platform for the team to go forward and express ourselves in more offensive area's.
I try not to single out individuals but feel i should mention Alex Elliot who is showing people just what he is capable of and is for me playing some fine football.
Some of our football is so pleasing on the eye and the squad is looking very fit and we have a great team spirit which is something any team needs to progress.
Congratulations to all.

Player of the Month - September

Congratulations to Kelvin Lugsden on becoming Glossop North End Supporters Club Player of the Month for September.

Kelvin will presented with his award at the home game with Bootle on the 15th October.

GNE v Runcorn Linnets

Wednesday see's the visit of Runcorn Linnets to Surrey Street and just a reminder that the kick off has been changed to 20.00.

Runcorn have started well and were our leagues last survivors in the F.A. Cup until defeat at the weekend.

Runcorn sit 17th in the league and have taken 11 points from their 5 leaue games.

GNE will be looking to get a win and keep our good start going but know we will have to play at the top of our game to beat our visitors.

We should be confident going into the game and refreshed after the weekend off.

Good luck to the team and remember it kicks off at 20.00.

See you there.
