The Dave McNabb era began at Gigg Lane this week as the former Warrington and Bootle manager became The Shakers 44th permanent manager. In Dave’s first game in charge on Tuesday night we took on FC Isle of Man and extended our run of wins to three games.
The team put on a resolute performance with the backline keeping second clean sheet in three games and Gaz Peet finding the back of the net for the first time this season.
The fans were in fine voice and 2909 of the Shakers faithful gave our new Management team a fantastic welcome, still singing 20 minutes after the final whistle whilst the lads signed autographs and took players with the fans in The South Stand.
You can watch the highlights from the game and Dave McNabb’s first post match interview below.
Attention now turns to our first of two trips in a fortnight (following the Frank Hannah Premier cup draw) to The Asgard Engineering Stadium to take on Glossop North End.
Full information is available below.
In Opposition – Glossop North End
The club was founded in 1886 and joined the North Cheshire League four years later. Glossop spent two seasons each in The Combination and the Midland League, before moving to North Road and being elected into the Football League Second Division in 1898. Having been promoted in the 1898–99 season, they spent one season in the First Division. During this period the club was bankrolled by Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, who was later to become chairman of Arsenal. The club retains some connections with Arsenal. Glossop were relegated in 1900 and spent the next fifteen seasons in the Second Division, before exiting the Football League during World War I.
Post-war, they spent 1920 to 1957 in the Manchester League, being crowned champions in 1927–28. They moved from the Lancashire Combination back to the Manchester League in 1966, and then spent four seasons in the Cheshire County League from 1978 before the North West Counties was formed in 1982 in which Glossop were founder members, they had a 33-year stint in the league before winning the Premier Division title at the end of the 2014–15 campaign. They were beaten finalists in the FA Vase in 2009 and 2015.
In April 2023 GNE were relegated from Step 4 after a period of eight years, ending manager Stuart
Mellish’s two-year stint at the helm. Michael Worthington was appointed as manager in the summer of 2023 as the Hillmen head into their first season back in the NWCFL.
