FACTS TO CHAT ABOUT OVER THE HOLIDAY

SOME BANK HOLIDAY FACTS

Chelsea is the only team to hold the Europa League and the Champions League at the same time. In 2012, The Blues won their first Champions League. The following season with Rafa Benitez at the helm, The Blues won the Europa League Final on May 15th. The Champions League Final was due on the 25th of May, for 10 days only! Chelsea were holders of both titles.


Matt Busby played for Manchester and Liverpool, racking up over 300 appearances as a played for United's two biuggest rivals. Busby then led the Red Devils to their first European Cup victory, defining the path that the cub wasa follow for a half-century.

Nemanja Vidic is the only Premier League winner with a surname made entirely of Roman Numerals! V= five, I is one, D is 500, I (yes, the same) and C is 100. (left Mr and Mrs Vidic!)

Portsmouth FC holds the record for havng held the FA Cup for the longest period-seven years! Pompey won it in 1939 and since there was no professional football during the Second World War (1939-45), they held it for that peaceful period (football peaceful that is!).

Italy held the World Cup from 1934 to 1950, despite only winning it ONCE in that time of seven years despite (16 years) and over what would have been four tournaments.

A HOLIDAY PICNIC

 29th April 1992

On this day, Gary Lineker scored his 48th – and last – England goal in Moscow against CIS (Russia). He played in a further 6 internationals without scoring another goal - he missed a penalty in the 1-1 draw with Brazil at Wembley - leaving his total one short of Bobby Charlton’s England record.

WEMBLEY 100 CHARLTON 606

Football On This Day – 28th April 1923

Bolton beat West Ham United 2-0 in the FA Cup Final. It was the first match to be played at Wembley Stadium and the last FA Cup Final not to be all-ticket. The official attendance was 126,047 but perhaps over 200,000 gained access to the ground. The match, which kicked off 45 minutes late, became known as the 'White Horse Final' in honour of the policeman on a white horse who helped keep the crowds back behind the touchlines to allow the match to be played.

Football On This Day – 28th April 1973
Bobby Charlton played in his 606th and last League match for Manchester United – a 1-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. His six League goals that season was enough to see him finish as the top scorer for United in 1972/73 when the club finished just above a relegation spot. On the same day his older brother Jackie played his last League game, for Leeds against Southampton at the Dell. Jackie's whole League career was at Elland Road although Bobby went on to play for Preston after leaving Old Trafford.

A NORTH WEST DERBY

Saturday 28th April 1894 saw the first match played in a rivalry that has proved to be one of the most intense seen in English football. It was originally known as a "Test Match".

At the unlikely venue of Ewood Park in Blackburn, the first competitive match was played between Liverpool and Newton Heath - now Manchester United. It was an important one: Newton Heath had finished bottom of Division 1 and Liverpool top of Division 2 in 1893/94 with promotion and relegation being decided with test matches. A 5,000 crowd was present at Ewood Park, with gate receipts totalling a massive £109! 

First half goals from Patrick Gordon and Harry Bradshaw gave Liverpool the victory 2-0 and so saw them in their first Football League season promoted to the top flight while Newton Heath were relegated. 

Liverpool only survived a season in Division 1, which saw the two clubs meet in Football League action for the first time in 1895/96. Both those Division 2 encounters went the way of the home sides - Liverpool winning their home match 7-1 while Newton Heath were 5-2 winners in Manchester.

Matches between the two clubs, up to the "change in name".

Football League test matches were a series of post-season play-offs organised by the Football League to determine the membership of each division, between the worst finishers of the First Division and the best of the Second Division. They were first contested at the end of the 1892-3 season, following the inaugural season of the Second Division, replaced with automatic and promotion and relegation from 1898-9.

ERISKAY-ONE OF FIFA's 8 MOST REMARKABLE PITCHES AND A REMARKABLE WRECK!


Eriskay, a beautiful hilly island, off the west coast of Scotland, is around 3 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. It has a population of around 300 and the island is connected to South Uist by a causeway that was built in 2001. Eriskay is known to many as the site of "Whisky Galore". In 1941, the SS Politician (a ship!) ran aground carrying 28,000 cases of malt whisky. The wreck was looted by the islanders, who hid the whisky all over Eriskay and South Uist – thought to amount to 24,00 bottles!

I saw that Eriskay FC was given a mention in the sports' news yesterday, so I remembered this blog  from a while back.

It's a new season and the Scots have got going with the fines' list at East Fife FC. As if the players can afford it! 
At "neighbouring" Eriskay FC, There won't be many fines to boost the club coffers and the club's pitch couldn't be improved because FIFA recognise it as a "playing surface". 
This video covers it nicely.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7_i8bKsT1s


The team is pictured above on their home turf, named as one of FIFA's EIGHT most remarkable pitches.
The club gets a mention in the FIFA Museum, which also hosts a documentary about the club filmed in 2016. Worth looking up the other seven remarkable pitches .....
Here it is, with three at the back

Eriskay, with a population of around 150, plays in the Uist and Barra League, founded in 1950 and the club also takes part in the Highland Amateur Cup. SIX teams compete in the league: Benbecula, Southend (south Kintyre Peninsular), Lochdar Saints (on South Uist), North Uist, Eriskay and Barra The club has also played in the Island Games, a global tournament first held in 2005.
Here are some of the "local clubs".

THE VANARAMA NATIONAL LEAGUE

 On 25th April 2015, there was very much a 'Division 5' look about the "Non-League" Conference, going into the last day of the League season. Recent ex-League sides Barnet and Bristol Rovers were both in with a chance of the title and with it a place back in the Football League. 

Bristol Rovers beat Alfreton 7-0 at the Memorable Ground in front of a new Conference record crowd of 11,085 but Barnet beat Gateshead 2-0 to pip Rovers to the title and promotion. Three weeks later though Bristol Rovers won back their League place beating Grimsby Town on penalties in the play off final at Wembley - the 47,029 crowd setting a new Conference play-off attendance record.


How does promotion and relegation work in the National League? Each season, two teams are promoted from the National League to the Football League 2, with the champions always going up automatically. 

The clubs that finish second and third go straight through to the play-off semi-finals where they play the two winners of the quarter-finals, which the teams from fourth to seventh contest; the winners of those semis meet in a final at Wembley, with the victor being promoted. All ties consist of a single leg.

The bottom four teams in the league are relegated to the National League North or National League South depending on their geographic location, with two from each of those coming up to replace them. 

When are the 2022/23 National League play-offs? The 2022/23 National League campaign will end on April 29, with the top team gaining automatic promotion and those that will contest the play-offs being confirmed that day. 

The play-off quarter-finals will then be played on the evenings of May 2 and May 3 before the semi-finals both take place on May 7. 

The 2023 National League play-off final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday May 13. 

Which teams have qualified for the 2023 National League play-offs? Wrexham have shrugged off competition from Notts County at the top of the National League and have been crowned champions. County are locked in second place and likely to be joined by Chesterfield in the play-off semi-finals. Woking and Barnet, currently fourth and fifth, have both made the play-offs in some capacity. Bromley have locked in a place in the top seven, while Boreham Wood have all but sealed their spot. 

Getting promoted to League Two and the Football League is a real game-changer for non-league clubs from a financial perspective. That's because they then receive a basic award payment from the EFL as well as a solidarity payment from the Premier League. Those two payments combined amount to just under £1m. Such a sum of money can be transformative for a club, and doesn't even take into account the increased ticket sales and fees paid for matches shown on TV.

Wrexham vied with Notts County throughout the season to lead the league, trading the first spot back and forth, and both setting new National League records for wins, goals, and goal difference, while 20+ points ahead of the third place team by the end of the season. 

On 22 April 2023, Wrexham secured winning their first league title in 45 years, and were promoted to the EFL League 2, after a 15 year absence, following a 3–1 win against Boreham Wood. The club amassed a record tally of 110 points (113 points are still possible) that season, having been promoted by beating Notts County. (see recent blog on Wrexham and the Americans)

The thrilling National League season has captured the imagination of millions of fans thanks to the incredible form of both Wrexham and Notts County throughout the 2022/23 campaign. Both teams have soared past 100 points but only one can be automatically promoted to League Two, with the other going into the play-offs. Wrexham  beat County recently. 

With just two games left to play and four points separating Wrexham and Notts County, there is still a slim chance that Notts County can win the league. They will be in action on the same day as Wrexham vs. Boreham Wood when they take on Maidstone United away from home.

Oldham Athletic is the first former Premier League club to be relegated to the National League, and their matches against Notts County will be the third fixture to be played in all five top tiers of English football.

MAIDENHEAD UNITED

In the lower leagues, Maidenhead United from the Conference South, are raising money to improve their facilities. The origins of senior football in Maidenhead can be traced back to October 1870 with the formation of Maidenhead Football Club, who subsequently played their first ever fixture in December 1870 against Windsor Home Park. Their York Road site is now officially acknowledged as the oldest continually used football ground in the world, eclipsing Northwich Victoria's claim by several years. it is acknowledged by The FA and FIFA to be the oldest continuously-used senior association football ground in the world by the same club, having been home to the club since 1871.  A blue plaque commemorating this is placed just inside the home turnstiles on the York Road side of the ground. 

The Club was one of the original 15 entrants for the first ever FA Cup competition in 1871-72. They won their first round tie v Marlow 2-0 and then lost to Crystal Palace 0-3 in Rd 2.

They also entered the first FA Amateur Cup in 1893.

The ground was initially the home of Maidenhead Cricket Club and it was with their permission that, shortly after their foundation in 1870, the football club played their first match at York Road on 16 February 1871 against local club, Marlow. The Magpies have continued to play home matches here, without a break, to the present day.

The current capacity of the ground is 4,500 (550 seated) and holds an "A" grading. The club's record attendance is 7,989 for the 1936 FA Amateur Cup Final quarter-final against Southall. A further 2,000 spectators are estimated to have watched the match from the adjacent railway embankment. The ground record attendance was set on Easter Monday 1947 when 8,277 people paid total receipts of £494 to watch the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup Final between Slough Town and Wycombe Wanderers FC.

The ground facilitates fans in a mixture of covered all-seater stands, covered and uncovered traditional terraces and flat concrete by the side of the pitch. As well as the normal facilities for lower-league football, the ground hosts "Stripes Bar" which can be hired out for functions. The ground is located just a few minutes walk away from the town centre and from the local railway station.

HATTERS AND DRAGONS

On 24th April 1988, Luton Town, The Hatters, beat the strong favourites and cup holders, Arsenal, to win the Littlewoods (League) Cup in front of 95,732 at Wembley. It was decided in the final 10 minutes when Luton's, Andy Dibble, saved a penalty and then scored an equaliser and a winner. 

The Hatters returned to the League Cup Final in 1989, but lost to Nottingham Forest. 

In 1992, they were relegated from the top flight as Luton's fortunes continued to sour, leading to subsequent relegations and administration. On 13 April 2009, by then in League Two, Luton drew with Chesterfield, confirming that they would finish the season in the relegation zone and drop out of the Football League for the 2009-10 season. 

It was the first major piece of silverware the Hatters had won – and then they broke the trophy during their celebrations!

A different story in 2023! Wrexham (The Red Dragons) executive director, Humphrey Ker, believes the club can repeat promotion success in League Two next season. He was educated at Eton College (very much a soccer playing school!) and read history at the University of Edinburgh. 

The club, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, ended a 15-year EFL exile with Saturday's 3-1 victory against Boreham Wood.

After celebrating the National League title, they have set their sights high. "We feel the sky's the limit for Wrexham because you look at the crowds we had in the stadium all season," said Ker. "You look at the crowds that were outside the stadium [on Saturday], people that couldn't get a ticket that just wanted to be in town and close to the stadium and close to the action." It is 15 years since the club dropped out of the Football League.

APRIL EXCITEMENT

 23rd April 1948 The day before the 1948 FA Cup Final at Wembley, Blackpool's Stanley Matthews was named as the first winner of Football Writers' Association 'Footballer of the Year' award. The final didn't bring more success for him with Manchester United beating Blackpool 4-2 in a classic Wembley final and Matthews had to wait another five years for that elusive winners' medal. Below, here is Stan mesmerising a Bolton defender in 1953, as he provided passes and crosses in a 4-3 win.


On the same day (but in a "reversed year" ), April 23rd 1984, a 0-0 draw at Grimsby, was Cambridge United's 31st League match on the trot without a win. They beat Newcastle in their next Division 2 match, but those 31 matches without a victory set a record that lasted until Derby suffered 36 winless matches in a row in 2008.

Derby County from 22 September 2007 to 13 September 2008, not only have the worst points total in Premier League/Championship history, with only 11pts, but they jointly hold the record for the longest run without a win, a staggering 32 games with Macclesfield Town, whose record in League Two, between January 2nd to May 5th 2012 and then in a new season, August 4th to 12th October 2018 was equally pathetic!! It was the Rams' 109th season and their worst season in ther FL, their 65th season in the top division. It was their first season in the top flight since 2001-2.

The Longest run without a home win is 364 days, by Sunderland (in the Premier and Championship Leagues) from 17 December 2016 to 16 December 2017).

On the bright side, AFC Wimbledon with the most consecutive games without a defeat is 78, AFC Wimbledon, in Non-League Football; 23 February 2003 to 27 November 2004)
