OUR CLUB

ManagerIt’s great to be finally here, the opening game of the season and with fans back in the ground!

After a really tough pre-season we look forward to welcoming Hyde United and I anticipate a really

tough game against a very well organised outfit that I think will be in play off contention this season.

Everything we have done during pre-season has been about preparing us for this afternoon and the

season ahead. And now we are ready to rumble!

As a professional fighter, I know the importance of bringing things to the boil at just the right time,

and that's what we have done with this group. With three points up for grabs, I am sure the lads will

take it up a level. We certainly aren't here to make up the numbers.

Winning games in pre-season is always nice, but it's not the be all and end all. Winning breeds

confidence – yes – but so too does building a competitive, together group that will compete for

everything. We have that here and that's exciting.

We are working with a smaller squad this season, where people will be given opportunities. Let's

hope these people take them and we can have a great season!

Welcome back everybody and hopefully we can get off to a positive start.

Respect everyone, fear no one.

= HOME GAME

OUR CLUB

CaptainGood afternoon! It's a very good afternoon in fact, as we finally get to start the new season – and we get to do that with our supporters inside the ground!

It has been a really strange pre-season for everybody. Starting the games with no supporters, then

finally getting the fans back in. Then with the will they/won't they be allowed when the league

starts officially.

Fortunately, we are now in the position where the league is upon us. Admittedly, I am not the

biggest fan of pre-season. Not really playing for anything, there's nothing I love more than

competing for points and being competitive. Now the season is here, we can start looking to get

points on the board.

As a group, we expect a lot of ourselves. We are quietly confident that we can be successful and

compete at the right end of the table. We have a good, honest bunch of lads and a good blend.

Some that are being given the opportunity to step up and play higher, others that are coming

down, but are determined to take Gainsborough Trinity back to where they have been before.

Personally, I am really looking forward to meeting you all and giving you lots to cheer, in what we

hope will be a successful season!

Stick together, through the highs and lows and let's hope there are plenty more highs.

Thanks,

Aingey

Simon Ainge, Captain

that the club is financially secure, so we can get through this season and look to build into next season and get our opportunity as and when it comes. So this year, good FA Cup run, top half of the table, see where we are at Christmas and, depending on where we are, could look at doing a little bit more financially to see where we can go.”

With regards to the size of the squad, that could be a source of concern for some supporters, Richard explained his and the managers’ reasoning behind keeping it on the thin side. He said: “We’re a bit weak on numbers and I think people can see that, but there is a reason

behind that.

“We’ve got seven on contract with the rest on non-contract, which gives us the flexibility to move players around as and when, and there will be an opportunity to bring in some young loan players from connections we’ve got with several clubs. As well as that, we’ve registered all of our under-21 players so you will be seeing some of them feature.”

So, Richard’s final summation?

“This season will be what it’ll be. So long as, come April, we’ve still got some money in the bank, we’re lucky the club is run in the black, it’s never in the red, and as long as we’re in the same position

ahead of next season then I’ve done my job, as long as we’re still in this league which I can't see any reason why we wouldn’t be with the squad we have.

“It’s just pulling together like we’ve always done. That’s the motto of the club so get behind us, support the club, support the new venue down at Roses and support the Blues Club.

“Just do what you can to get behind and support us.”

WITH RICHARD KANE ENTERING HIS SIXTH SEASON IN CHARGE OF THE FOOTBALL CLUB, WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE CHAIRMAN TO DISCUSS WHAT WILL CERTAINLY BE HIS MOST TESTING CAMPAIGN TO DATE.

By Rob Hughes & Cieran Curtis

THE BUILD-UP TO THE SEASON

“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, since we last played a competitive game of football…”

Six months and nine days, to be exact.

Way back on March 10th, Gainsborough Trinity played out a 2-2 draw at Stafford Rangers in what transpired to be the Holy Blues’ final competitive fixture for over half a year.

However, this Saturday puts an end to that.

Trinity will be hosting Hyde United at the Northolme following one of the busiest summers off the field in unprecedented circumstances.

But just how did the Chairman steer the club into a position ready for Saturday’s curtain raiser?

“It’s been difficult”, explains Richard.

“You’ll see today, because we’re removing all of the boards of the non-sponsors for this season, which is down by at least 40% so you’ll probably see a different ground.

“We’ve not got a sponsor for the

Carlisle Street stand, apart from CHM, they’re staying, but the rest of them have gone. The gasworks stand has gone and at least 25% of the boards around the ground have gone as well.”

As you can imagine, such a cut to sponsorship revenue has therefore made it more challenging than usual for Richard to keep the club afloat, whilst assembling a squad for the manager that is capable of being competitive in the league.

“The balance is very tight, hence why we’ve had to cut costs accordingly and we won’t be throwing money about. We will just be looking to be as competitive as we possibly can with the money and the resources available to us”, Richard explained.

The importance of the fans can never be underestimated, particularly in non-league, however Richard outlines that, more than ever, the club will be leaning on its supporters for their help where possible.

“Yes, getting a season ticket will help make it easier for you to get into the ground with the social distancing requirements we’ve got in place, it will help with the gates, it will help with the track and trace also, but it obviously it is a help with regards to the revenue also.”

THE IMPORTANT BIT… FOOTBALL!

With such extraordinary circumstances reaping havoc

across all levels of football, it is inevitable that each club would similarly suffer the same economic consequences, however each would find unique solutions.

More than ever, it is incredibly difficult to predict how each team will cope once the season commences. Those who were previously high-flyers may now struggle, and vice versa.

So, according to the Chairman, where does that leave Trinity to stack up against the rest of the league?

“I don’t think we will have a terrible season, far from it”, Richard explains. “We’ve put our budget in, but there are teams who are still investing quite a lot of money, if that’s the right word to say, that is double or triple our budget.

“I have spoken to Curtis [Woodhouse] and we are looking to be a top half team this year, the team on paper that we’ve gone through does look competitive. Ultimately, you want to be in the mix, we need some excitement don’t we?

“I’m not writing off that we won’t be up there and in the mix, but for me, my purpose as Chairman of the football club is survival and making sure that we are still here this time next year, and are not spending more money than we’ve got and all of a sudden we’re down the plughole.

“The key for me is making sure

Hyde re-established in 1919 as Hyde United. In 1968 they, (with Trinity) were founder members of the Northern Premier, but in 1970 were relegated to the Cheshire Lge (and their rollercoaster ride began). In 1982 they were champions and gained promotion back into the NPL.

Hyde suffered relegation again in 2002/3 but bounced straight back as Div1 champions in 2003/4, then became Premier League winners in 2004/5.

In 2011/12 Hyde won promotion as Champions of the National League North, (Trinity were runners up to Nuneaton in the play-offs the same year). The stay in

the National League was short with quick relegations to the NPL Div1. Before regaining a place in the NPL in 2017/18 (with Trinity joining them after their first ever relegation from the National North).

Last season's game (just for the non-record) 14th Dec 2019, Northern Premier Lge

With Trinity sat bottom of the table, p-16/pts-10. Hyde were 10th, p-20/pts26. (Sth Shields Top 17/36).

Result: Hyde United 1 v Trinity 1 (Dunne).

Trinity: Allinson, James, J Green, Williamson, Maguire, Thornton, G Green, Williams, Bacon, Hannah, Russell. Subs: Clarke, Chadwick, Litchfield, Morrison, Dunne. Manager: Curtis Woodhouse.

6th April 2018, Evo-Stik Northern Premier LgeChairman Richard Kane, opens the programme praising the efforts of all at the club, but, with the chain of events with Ferriby’s results being expunged and Trinity dropping out of the play-offs, he wonders if

he’d broken a mirror or run over a cat!! Manager Liam King follows up, questioning refereeing decisions leading to the two recent defeats. Both agree there are five cup finals to go and all to play for…

Into the game Trinity were 6th p-35/ 55pts. Hyde were 9th 36/49.

6/4/2019 Result: Trinity 1 (Byrne) v Hyde United 0, Att 523 13/10/2018 Result: Hyde United 1 v Trinity 3 (Byrne, Hannah, Simmons), Att 467.

17 September 2011, Blue Square Bet North Lge2010 saw Hyde agree a deal for Manchester City’s development side to use Ewen Fields. They also reverted back to the name Hyde FC & stopped wearing red.

17/09/2011 Result: Hyde FC 3 v Trinity 1 (Kendall). Att 643. This was 10 wins/10 for Hyde and they were runaway

From the Archives leaders (p-25/pts-59). Trinity were 6th, chasing Stalybridge, Guiseley, Nuneaton & Halifax.

Trinity: Barnes, Roma, Sandwith, Cowan, Boyce, Leary, D’Laryea, Williams, Kendall, Stamp, Yates. Subs: Nelthorpe, Mettam, McMahon. Manager: Steve Housham.

07/01/2012 Result: Trinity 2 (Cowan, Kendall) v Hyde FC 0, Att 683.

This was a remarkable season for both clubs. Hyde won the league to be promoted to the National Division. Trinity finished 4th, beat Halifax in the play-off semi but lost 1-0 to Nuneaton in the Final.

2008-2009, Blue Square Bet North Lge25/08/2008 Result: Hyde United 0 v Trinity 0, Att 251.

Trinity: Sollit, Greenwood, Drury, Ellis, Lukic, Anson, Benjamin, McMahon, Marrison, Mallon, Hall. Subs: Burley, Spafford, Bird, Ross, Austin.

13/04/2009 Result: Trinity 1 v Hyde United 0, Att 290.

Into this game, Trinity were 13th p-39/pts-46, Hyde Utd 20th p-38/pts-35. Tamworth were top.

Inside the programme, Nathan Peat featured in “Off the pitch”, Ash Burbeary was “Man of the match” and Lew McMahon featured in “In action” from the Telford game.

1991-1992, HFS Loans Lge03/09/91 Result: Trinity 1 (Jenkinson) v Hyde Utd 0. Att 318.

Trinity had drawn their first game away to newly promoted Whitley Bay and lost 0-6 to Wakefield & Emley. Despite the results, manager Gary Simpson praised his team’s effort, Lowe and Mallendar in particular.

In “League Press Release”, the previous season’s runners up to Witton, Stalybridge, had strengthened by signing Camden and Higginbotham. They had also spent £30,000 on ground improvements. Goole manager Terry Curran had also been recruiting, while Warrington had raided recently defunct Sth Liverpool for players. Fleetwood v Accrington was called off due to danger from building work at the Highbury ground.

Trinity: Massey, Walker, Mason, Simpson, Jenkinson, Middleton, Eley, Mallendar, Lowe, Leishman, Shaw, Fox, Kay. Manager: G Simpson.

07/10/91 Result: Hyde Utd 2 v Trinity 1 (Logan), Att 405.

Finally, here we are, 183 days since a cold, wet Tuesday night watching Gainsborough Trinity draw 2-2 with Stafford Rangers, the Holy Blues are back in competitive action once again and I have to admit I am more than a little excited as Hyde United visit the Martin &Co Arena this afternoon.

It is always too easy to read positives and negatives

into pre-season, yes on paper Trinity have suffered a

couple of thrashings to Rotherham and Cleethorpes

and yes, Trinity picked up a couple of good results

against Workington and Hull, but with so many

trialists, unlimited substitutions, some games without

a crowd… there really is no point in reading too much

into how the pre-season will affect the league season.

The only match I usually contradict what I have just

said is often the last friendly. Usually by then you

have a pretty good idea of what your team is going

to look like and how they will try and perform. The

problem that Gainsborough had was that when they

played Boston United last week they had a couple of

injuries and were still trying to add to the squad.

There were, however, a few positives that I felt the

Holy Blues' supporters could take from the match

with the Pilgrims last Saturday. The first being that

Tom Jackson was outstanding in goal, especially

in the first half when a stronger Boston team were

unfortunate not to go in at half time more than one

goal up. Some of his saves were brilliant, particularly

the save from a Boston free kick.

Another big positive I took from the game was the

fact that, despite in large patches being out played,

Trinity never gave up,

continued to fight for

every ball and in the

end, if it had not been

for an outstanding

save to deny Jack

Walters from Pilgrims'

'keeper Peter Crook,

then the score could

quite easily have been a draw.

This is always a good time of the season to have hope

and expectations going into a new campaign. So

what, in my opinion can Gainsborough Trinity fans

hope for the upcoming season? When times were

stopped for the national lockdown, the Holy Blues

were on a great run, Curtis Woodhouse has now built

his own squad and optimism should be high, if the

team can produce what they did during the great run

of the winter, then this season should be a good one,

who knows, promotion? play-off push? The highs

and lows start today!

I am at the game today and, as I said earlier, I am

excited. Last week I covered the Boston game for

BBC Radio Lincolnshire, but had to wear my neutral

hat. Today I am back in my Gainsborough Trinity hat,

last week was also great to see so many faces that I

have missed seeing since March, hoping to see some

more of you today!

Up the Blues and here's to a safe, successful season.
