Men’s Player Of The Month – February

Dec Daniels (left) was the winner in January In another cracking month of results, we moved up to the top of the league with four wins and a draw. Scoring 10 goals, conceding just four and it could be argued that the players have shared the performances across the games this month.

With goalscorers of Briggs, Daniels, Lowe and Burns all getting on the team sheet, as well as us going on a run of three consecutive clean sheets – so kudos to the defensive line and goalkeeper!

This will make the decision a tight one for supporters, and means your vote will be an all important one!

Who will replace last month’s winner, Dec Daniels, and be presented with a fully liveried Bury FC Hyundai courtesy of BCC Cars for their use for one month as their reward?

Voting closes ahead of kick-off against Lower Breck this Saturday, so VOTE NOW!
   
            Who is your February Player Of The Month? (pick one)

Kit Colour Vote – 2024/26 Away Colours

The time has come to choose your away colours for the 2024/26 seasons.

Our current policy is to rotate kits every two years, to reward supporters for buying replica kits and keep them up-to-date for longer.

As we started the 2023/24 season with two new kits, home and away, we need to break this rule just once so that home and away kits are changed in alternate years. The current away kit will be kept as a third kit.

This means we are now choosing a new away kit for next season, and want help from our members to finalise the design.

For a full preview of colours that you will be voting for later in the week and for more information on how to be #PartOfIt please visit the FSSB page here

Match Info: WYTHENSHAWE (H), TUE 27th Feb, 7.45pm KO

On Saturday Dave McNabb’s men made it thirteen Nortwest Counties Premier Dvision games undefeated with a 1-0 victory over Glossop North End.

We have been on a run that has seen us score 40 goals, score in every game and keep six clean sheets on our way to the top of the table.

We currently have a three point cushion over second place Wythenshawe Town with a game in hand.

We now focus our attention on their near neighbours and fellow promotion chasers Wythenshawe.

In the reverse fixture earlier in the season the spoils were shared in a one all draw with now former Shaker Shakeel Jones-Griffiths scoring our only goal that evening with Wythenshawe leveling up in the 89th minute with a Sam Dikov penalty.

This promises to be a fantastic display of NWCFL football as well as being a potential six pointer between two of the leagues in form teams!

Get down to Gigg and get behind Dave and the team as we look to extend our lead at the top of the table.

Check out the highlights from the weekends game and Dave McNabbs post match interview below.

  In Opposition – Wythenshawe
Originally founded in 1946 as Wythenshawe Lads’ Club by Reg Gauntlet, a local window cleaner, gathering together a group of kids kicking a ball about in the street, started playing friendlies, held meetings with parents in a wooden hut in the grounds of Cringlewood House, Yew Tree Lane. They then set up home by hiring a room in an old farmhouse in Daine Avenue, Rackhouse. A couple of years later Noel Timpson, of Timpson Shoes, purchased two ex-WW2 Nissen huts and sited them within the farmhouse grounds.

Promotion was gained in May 2018 when the FA allocated the first team to a restructured North West Counties Football League. This meant that the club was competing at semi-professional level for the first time, they finished a creditable fourth in the First Division South in their first season.

In 2019 the first team returned to the national stage when they re-entered the FA Vase. The following season 2020-21, they made their debut in the FA Cup, in the Extra Preliminary Round beat Shelley at home 4-2 in a memorable penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in 90 mins, exited in the Preliminary Round v. Trafford at home 1-4.

The first full season, 2021-22, following two coronavirus pandemic hit seasons, they reached the NWCFL Division One South play-offs, losing to FC Isle of Man in the semi-finals.
They improved on that the following season, 2022-23, arguably the clubs most successful, with a first team double, winning automatic promotion to the Premier Division by becoming champions, their first ever semi-professional title, then adding the First Division Champions Cup, reserves won the Altrincham District FA Senior Cup, Sunday team champions of the Stockport Sunday League, Division Two. Junior section won a club record 13 trophies.

Sacha Lord, co-founder of the music festival Parklife and The Warehouse Project, in April 2023 joined the Board and installed as Chair in June. Barratt, appointed as Chair in 2019, remained on the Board as Vice-Chair.

In June 2023, the club changed its name, dropping ‘Amateurs’, becoming Wythenshawe Football Club, with the playing name Wythenshawe.

Match Info: Glossop North End (H), Sat 24th Feb, 3pm KO

After the trials and tribulations of a trip to the Isle of Man last weekend, the lads earned a well-deserved break at the start of the week ahead of this weekend’s visit of Glossop North End to Gigg Lane.

Manager Dave McNabb recognised the team’s efforts in first of all getting to the Manx island, before putting in a special effort to come away with a valuable 2-0 win and a brace from Sam Burns.

In adverse conditions, you find out a lot about who’s around you. Whether that be on the pitch or in the stands. Both players and fans made a special commitment in being there to support each other last weekend, and we must do so again this Saturday.

Glossop visit Gigg Lane again, after being our opponents in our first competitive game back at Gigg Lane all the way back in July. A special occasion no doubt, with a resounding scoreline to boot.

However, it was to come to nothing in the eyes of the league soon after with an ineligible player contributing to the game. The game was removed from the list and ordered to be played again, with an additional three-point penalty handed down to the club at the same time. A fact that has rankled with supporters no doubt.

However, we go into this game in great form and despite points deductions, sit top of the league heading into the game. With only 10 games to go after this, we need you all there to bring the boys home.

Get on down to Gigg Lane this weekend, all your match information can be found below.

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.

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
