Good afternoon and welcome to the Harry Williams
Riverside Stadium for this afternoon’s clash with Buxton. We
hope everyone who has made the trip over has an enjoyable
afternoon and a safe trip home later.
Well where do I start other than the treat that was served
up last Saturday against Belper Town. Firstly the support was
fantastic and the lads have asked me to thank you all - it
really does have a great feel around the ground on a
matchday nowadays, so thank you.
On to the game itself, and the general consensus was that
it was a fantastic game: end to end football with two teams
going all out for the win. It had great goals and a sending off
in the mix which all contributed to good afternoon’s
entertainment - don’t get me wrong, there were certain
aspects of the performance which we weren’t happy with,
but thats the way we are - we strive to keep evolving as a
team and to keep improving. To play for 70 minutes a man
light and still win was very pleasing, e lads put a massive
shift in and the work-rate was really pleasing. After the
disappointment over at Frickley, to return six points from
six is just desserts for the hard graft the lads have put in over
the two tough midweek training sessions.
So that brings me onto today. Buxton as we know will be
a tough test - anyone who travelled over for the FA Cup
game a few weeks back will know they are a good side and
you only have to look at both the league table and the form
table to see they are flying, just like ourselves. I’m sure it will
be a fascinating game today, one which we certainly are
looking forward to. A win keeps us in and around the top
five, but a Buxton win edges them that little bit further away
from us, so its important to get behind the lads today, make
as much noise as you can and help us in the quest for
another three points..

Welcome to the Harry Williams
Riverside Stadium. A special welcome to
our match officials, and of course, our
visitors from the lovely Peak District town
of Buxton. We have, of course, already
played the Bucks this season. It was my
first visit to Silverlands for around 25
years, but as soon as I walked through the
turnstiles, I felt as though I had never
been away, other than the hill having
vanished behind the far goal. What other
hobby allows you to wallow in nostalgia
like that?
On the day we went out of the FA Cup
by the odd goal in five, but it really was
the classic case of a “game of two halves”.
For the first 45 minutes we were poor,
and went in three goals down as well as
having missed a penalty. It all looked
rather bleak during the break, but a much
better second half saw us claw back two
goals and the home side’s fans were
relieved to hear the final whistle, as we
continued to press in search of an
equaliser. Plenty to enjoy there, so
hopefully it will be a case of the same
here this afternoon.
GOAL OF THE SEASON?
It was definitely
entertaining last
Saturday, and a
pleasure to see so many
youngsters present – they are our
supporters of the future. One comment
that stayed with me came from someone
I had been trying to tempt down to the
HWRS for some time. He came with his
two little ones, and as he passed my box
at half-time he looked in and
commented “is should be on Pay-per-
view, it’s that good!”.
Another guy who I’ve seen at many
Bury matches also turned up, I think for
the first time here, and he left with a big
grin and thumbs up.
It was good to see a good crowd on –
our average League attendance has
grown to 312 so far this season - and
those who did come along for a change
could hardly have failed to be impressed
with the entertainment on offer.
Cedric was so unlucky, but we can have
no complaints as the referee was left with
no option. Believe it or not, he was
almost distraught at having to produce
the red card. He told me that it was the
first time in four seasons that he has had
to send someone off. And some
supporters think match officials have no
heart!
But what about Whiz’s second goal?!
If that had been in the professional
game they’d have shown it time and
again. (WE can view it on rammy.tv
though!). It was an absolute belter from
tony cunninghamand the wonderful world of
non-league football
p
fully 35 yards. e Belper keeper had no
chance as it fairly … er….whizzed into the
back of the net. Worth the admission money
alone, and already a favourite to be named
goal of the season come next May.
Well done, also, to Osebi for winning the
Supporters Club’s “Player of the Month”
award for September. e speedy winger has
become a firm favourite here at the HWRS
during his short time with us, and once again
he had a fine game last week.
So here we are, as we enter the autumn
period, sitting in the play-off spots. We’d have
all taken that at the beginning of the
campaign, and just three years ago, anyone
suggesting such a position would have been
considered mad. e progress made has been
immense. As our Chairman would say (and he
did with great joy at Darlington) “Not bad for
a village team!”
Today should prove quite a test for us.
Buxton have had a superb season so far and
will provide our toughest test to date.
Let’s hope that many who came for the first
time last week are back again today, and
hopefully they will continued to be tempted
to watch what is an excellent standard of non-
league football. Don’t you just love it!
FINALLY….
Can I just pass on my thanks to Paul
Cropper, who has taken the match reporting
duties off me. Not only has he saved me a
lengthy job, but his reports are gems! I look
forward to reading them as he mixes the facts
with a certain amount of humour. Excellent!
anks, Paul, and well done!
Enjoy your non-league football!
Osebi receiving hisPlayer of theMonth award fromsupporter DavidNewby
p
e supporters really enjoyed
Saturday's game against Belper,
particularly the way we coped with losing
a man early-on. How did it feel on the
pitch?
For me not much changes when
someone is sent off, but for the lads in
the middle the work rate increases. And
I know the lads cover a lot of ground
when we have eleven men so you can
imagine how hard it gets with a man
down. But we all coped well with the
situation and got the win.
A few of us feel that the dismissal of a
player as well as the award of a penalty is
a like a double punishment, do you agree
that it should be one or the other if it's
not dangerous play?
I agree with you you on this matter. I
think it is more than enough of a
punishment to give the pen, but to send
the accused off as well to me seems as
you said double punishment. We all
remember Andy Dawson's tackle at
Barrow - to give a penalty for that
tackle is a dreadful decision, but
to then send him off seems
very harsh. But that's
something for the FA I guess, I
don't think I'm alone as a
player in saying I’d like that
rule to change.
We've watched back the video of
Cedric's tackle a load of times and
although we thought at the time that it
was a stonewall penalty, it looks like he
did nothing wrong. How did it seem to
you?
I had the best view in the ground
which is why I protested so much. Ceders
passed the man after he fell while trying
to set himself. I've not seen video but I'm
99% sure he didn't touch him. And the
big guy said same thing in the changing
room - but being Cedric he didn't say it
very loud, just a whisper and a smile.
We conceded yet another header at the
far post from a long ball. Any idea why
this seems to be a weakness, and what we
can do about it?
We play attacking football and we play
with high wingers. With new additions to
the squad and some of the lads changing
positions, some of the lads are still
getting used to their new jobs. But
mainly I think it's down to the physical
level in this league - all the teams we are
playing have big strong men and they are
good at what they do. We're starting to
deal with it better I think. We're just
gonna work hard to get better all round.

p
e official attendance was
about 400. How did the increase
in numbers feel on the pitch
(particularly with more kids) and
do you think that bigger
attendances is something we
need to continue working on as
a club?
It was great playing in front of
a big crowd and we would love
for the crowds to keep growing.
I mean, from a personal point of
view I was getting sweets from a
young lad behind my goal which
is always good as I love sweets.
But we appreciate the support
from everyone who attends our
games so on behalf of the players
,keep up the support. And thank
you.
Saturday’s game felt like the
pick of the season to-date, but
Buxton are a great side and are
on fine form at the moment. Did
we learn anything about them
last time out that will be of use
today?
I think Saturday was a great
team display, and we worked
really hard for each other so you
could be right in saying it was
pick of the season so far. As for
Buxton we know they are a very
good side who play very direct
football. It's really effective, but
I'd like to think we learnt a lot
about them in the FA Cup game
and I know we have the quality
to deal with their threat. Going
forward we have bags of talent
to score goals so it should make
for another very entertaining
game at the Harry Williams
Riverside Stadium.
Is it true that the lads have
been making you run up the
Rake?
e very infamous Rammy
Rake! I've only heard people talk
about this place a few times. And
then come last Tuesday evening.
e dreaded text from Anthony,
“Bring Runners lads, meet at the
ground.” When we got there
some lads seemed to have
*ahem* picked up knocks on
way to the ground from their
house! e Gaffers said, “One
mile run boys, then up a little hill,
then one mile back - easy night.”
e one mile there is all uphill so
that's hard enough. en we
were faced with the hill/ cliff
face. We did about eight sprints
and a run back. So yes it was true
and something I wouldn't mind
having an injury for next time.

Dom Smalley’s cross to thefar-post for Phil Dean totuck away goal number one
p
It could have come as no surprise that two teams
who had so far scored and conceded 101 goals
between them so far would serve another multi-goal
extravaganza in which attacking flair and panache was
matched by some clueless and incoherent defending.
All teams like to play at home of course but the Rams
seem to have a particular affinity for their tight
Riverside pitch on which they carve out a quality space
and openings around the box that can elude them on
larger grounds. Phil Dean, who has had a bit of a
frustrating time of it so far this season lit the touch
paper to a tumultuous first 20 minutes in which
defending amounted to a dance of the seven veils with
each team contriving to denude their goalkeepers of
cover and support. On 3 minutes a neat inter-change
between Dominic Smalley and Osebi Abadaki ripped
asunder the Belper defence and Dean slid in at the far
post. Minutes later it was the turn of the Rams defence
to fall into a collective amnesia to populate their
penalty area giving Jon Froggatt all the time and space
in the world to equalise.
Dean then brought the ground to its feet with a
thunderous shot from all of 35 yards that left a startled
James Martin in the Belper goal floundering and
flapping like a hooked salmon as the ball crashed into
the top corner. Back came Belper, looking anything but
a bottom of the league team - but who does in this
division? Grant Shelton tipped over before more
ambiguous defending allowed Froggatt to steal into the
area. Cedric Krou hooked his feet away, received an
unarguable red card and Ross scored from the penalty
spot.

Osebi Abadaki, themuscular menace!
p
It took a little time for the Rams to reorganise but
assisted by some broken play littered by niggling
fouls they neutralised the visitors efforts to take
advantage of the extra man . Dean now
repositioned at left back continued to cause a
threat wide. As the half time whistle beckoned
Abadaki, a muscular menace, ghosted in on his
astute low ball from the left and neatly guided the
ball round the keeper into the bottom corner to
restore a well earned lead.
From then the Rams never looked like being a
man short, defending comfortably as Aaron Cole
a threat on the right for Belper started to fade and
looking dangerous on the counter attack. Scott
Burton and Gary Stopforth matched elegance
with hard work in the middle. Clever
substitutions by the Rams mid way through the
half bolstered some flagging legs . Jordan Hulme
released Tom Williams into acres of space James
Martin doing well to tip his shot round the post.
Jon Robinson being cleverly used as an impact
player to close out games headed Hulme's deep
cross neatly back across the keeper to give a two
goal cushion and the Rams cruised last 15
minutes into the play-off places.

“We’ve been really surprised to see
you warming the bench for a good part
of the season so far, but on Saturday you
left the traps like a greyhound, scoring
two goals very early on - one of them is
a real Goal of the Season contender. Did
you have something to prove?”
“Yeah, I felt like I did. I started the
season pretty poorly, with my head still
being in America where I played over
summer. It took me a long while to get
back into life over here, and into
recapturing the Rammy spirit. I would
like to go back over there again, but I
won’t have the same problems when I
return.”
“How do things compare over there,
football-wise?”
“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been after
playing over there. Everything is geared
towards running, even five-a-side is
played on a much bigger pitch, so
everything is about running and less
about those tight-in skills that we work
on a lot over here. Everything is
very very athletic. Although
most of our team was
European, the
opposition are all
American, and they
are all incredibly athletic. You can see
with Jordan just how his game improved
over a few months in that style of
football, it’s very good for you.”
“Can you tell us a little bit about what
life was like in America, and are the
supporters just as you’d expect them to
be - a lot of whooping and cheering and
so on?”
“It’s un-real. e weather was amazing,
the way of life is incredible, but you
know that it’s not real, it’s just for
summer. e people who live there are
very friendly, and once they discover
you’re from England they go out of their
way to look after you.
“e fans had just started a fan-club
this year, and because of the World Cup,
football had become a bit of a fad for
them. We had about 3000 at the play-off
final starting flares, singing, cheering and
the like. But they don’t know as much
about football as fans do over here, they
don’t really get it. For example, as a
player if you had a nothing game but
scored a goal in the last few minutes
then you’d be an absolute hero whereas
if you’d created all kinds in the middle
but not put the ball in the net then you’d
be ignored or forgotten.”
Wizzzzzzzzzzz...six years and over two hundred games
for Rammy, the speedy wee man has even stopped swearing!

Buxton in action againstWitton Albion
“So how are you finding this level? In the
Evostik Division One there were a few duff
teams that were quite physical, but lacking
some of the more skillful players. is
season we don’t get the pleasure of any of
those as every team is quality.”
“To be honest, we do better against the
more skillful teams. If someone comes to try
and play football against us then we play
our best. If you think back to the games at
places like Prescot or Ossett Town, we really
struggled to get going there. ey even
watered the pitch at Ilkeston, and that’s like
a dream for a team like ours!”
“When a player of your class, with a load of
offers from bigger clubs over the summer,
has to watch games from the touchline, do
you end up really wanting to prove yourself,
or do you just start thinking ‘sod ya, I’m
off!’”?
“You have to go out in a game, when you
get a start, and show that you really want
the spot. I haven’t got anyone to blame but
myself for being on the bench, so it’s no
good having a go at anyone. It’s all in my
head. It’s not something I’ve really struggled
with before, and it’s been hard early-on this
season. I’ve got myself properly focussed
now, and I think that showed on Saturday.”
“From the touchline, we as fans wonder
about the way you perform. For example, if
you’re playing well then there’s no stopping
you - like on Saturday, we could see
that you were going to have a hell
of a game - but then if a
defender clobbers you
then your head seems
to go down, is that
how it feels?”
“ I think that’s the thing with wingers. It’s
probably the hardest position on the pitch
because whenever you get the ball you’re
expected to do something exciting. No-one
else has that kind of pressure, and it is easy
for your head to drop if things aren’t going
your way, and then everyone gets
disappointed in you, and then your head
drops further. is is why you’ll find there
are a lot of wingers who can be a bit
inconsistent.”
“So do you feel the supporters getting on
your back at Rammy, or are they supportive
even when things aren’t necessarily going
your way?
“is is one of the great things at Rammy
- we don’t really have the whingers who’ll
get on your back. We’ve got so used to
winning, and of having players who give it
our all - you know that we’re all running
ourselves into the ground, even if things
aren’t going our way, and you know what
we’re all capable of. I’ve only ever known
Rammy, as I’ve been here six years, but from
the feelings you get at other places - where
fans start moaning if things aren’t going
their way - I reckon we’ve got a top
atmosphere here.”
“How do you think Rammy will ultimately
do this season, do you think we’ll make the
playoffs or settle for mid-table?”
“I’d like to think we can make the playoffs.
Whatever league we’re in we can always
compete, and we never get walked over, no
matter who we play. It’d be nice to get in the
playoffs, and nothing less than the lads
deserve.”
p
Scoring a goal against Stamford
- another 50p in the swear box!
“I know what it feels like when you’ re a
fan, but when you play for Rammy, what
are the things that stand out for you as
unique?”
“It is difficult to say, as all I’ve ever
known is playing here. I suppose the main
thing is that everyone just seems to have
fun. I can’t imagine many changing rooms
or managers like ours, and I think that’s
why players stick around as long as they
do, and why players like Danny and Billy
miss the club so much.e fans are
something special too, and I’d really like to
thank everyone who chipped in for the
collection you had for my 200 games -
things like that are so important and make
you feel really good about playing here.”
“Do you think that will help us keep the
more fickle players, such as Osebi who
seems to have had more clubs than hot
dinners?”
“Definitely. Johnno and Bernard are
really good at getting the best out of
players, though they can be sods,
especially when you’re running up the
Rake on a Tuesday night. at’s not nice!”
“We’ve always been dying to know how
you ended up with the nickname Wiz, and
what it means.”
“I don’t really know. At the very first
training session I went to, Bernard called
me ‘Wiz’, and the name has just stuck. I
don’t know if it’s Wizard, or Whizz or
Wizzer, it’s sort of all of them!”
“Have you been booked for swearing this
season, or have you cleaned out that potty
mouth?”
“Twice for tackling, but no bookings for
swearing. at’s the way it’s going to stay
this season!”

rammy in exilesky sports statto richard isaacs
Well, good afternoon everyone - hope
all are well and wrapping up warm.
Summer has certainly ended here in the
tropical south - you kind of get that
impression when my dentist appointment
last Monday morning was cancelled due
to the surgery being closed due to
weekend flooding! At least we have the
Rams to keep us warm and content.
Middle of October and fifth in the
table? Yes, ok ok, it is still very early days
and we are not even half-way through the
season but the lads have done us
incredibly proud so far and to even be
fifth in this league, following our
promotion last season, shows just what
resolve we have. Playing for 70 minutes
with only 10 men, courtesy of Cedric's red
card - which, having looked at the video
is a little bit 'could be/might not be' - was
a terrific effort, of course albeit against the
side at the bottom of the table.
Today will be a totally different
challenge. From playing bottom of the
table to playing the team in second, all
in the space of a week. We have
already crossed swords this year with
Buxton - getting the better of the FA Cup
game - but only just, so this could be a
real belter here at the Harry Williams
Riverside Stadium and I really hope
there is a bumper crowd here for this
'top of the table' clash ... sounds good,
doesn't it!
Anyone who has seen our forum recently
will have noticed that I did a few stats and
here are a few more (well I am a
statistician by trade so I may as well!). e
figures are really telling, and it follows the
development of the team under Bernard
and Anthony.
In the year before they came,
attendances averaged just 116 in the
2008/2009 season. Now, we are getting
close to THREE times the amount of
people coming through the gate, and that
matches the outstanding performances
on the park.
2007-2008: 123 (19 games)
2008-2009: 116 (21 games)
A&B ERA STARTS:
2009-2010: 138 (21 games)
2011-2012: 197 (21 games)
2012-2013: 232 (21 games)
2013-2014: 262 (21 games)
2014-2015: 312 (7 games)
So, why are people coming to watch us
now? ere are so many answers to that
but first on the list is quite simple - the
team. We do not get to where we are now
without making people sit up and take
notice. I can only vouch for myself. When
I first started watching Rammy, if you had
something better to do, you would go and
do it. You arrived more in hope than
expectation. It was more for the pie and
p
peas and tea in a proper mug than
watching the Rams of the day. Now - well,
it’s completely unmissable.
I also think that our outstanding media
coverage has also boosted our profile
massively. Tony's (and now Paul's) match
reports, Rob's pictures, invention of
rammy.tv and the excellent coverage,
Andy and Katie on the twitter and
everyone's enthusiasm, coupled with the
Rossendale Free Press, Bury Times and
Lancashire Telegraph's efforts, has made
everyone in the local area take notice.
Bury supporters, amongst many others,
now have a 'second team' to come and
watch, people around the town know we
exist and it is absolutely brilliant. And that
all comes back to Anthony and Bernard's
incredible turn around of our club's
fortunes.
Who remembers the summer of 2009?
Harry appoints these two nippers. Many
think he has lost his marbles. And we lose
the first game 5-0 to Newcastle Town ...
everyone laughs. Same ol' Rammy!
Bottom of the NWCFL Premier Division
table, going to be one of those seasons,
like the majority of those that preceded it.
And now look (we know another club
who are bottom of the NWCFL Premier
Division table ......)
Our crowds are getting bigger. Our
crowds are getting louder. Gone are the
days of the sole voice shouting like a loony
(that will be me then!). And long may it
continue. Where can this club go? Are we
fifth for a reason and what happens if we
stay there? What does the future hold. If
it is anything like the last five years .... strap
yourself in!

Due to Blyth Spartans making another
one of their famous F.A. Cup runs this
season, the Rams’ away game against
them on Saturday October 25th has been
postponed. Don’t panic about having a
Rammy-less Saturday though as we have
re-arranged to play Marine that day
instead, so calm down soft lad! (please
note, that the Marine game was originally
set for the following Tuesday 28th
October).
Based in Crosby, Merseyside, Marine
play their football at e Arriva
Stadium where they have been
based since 1903. Originally, the
ground was called Rossett Park,
but in 2003 they struck a
sponsorship deal to re-name it.
One of the things I despise
about modern football is
the renaming of
traditional
grounds, but I
suppose you
could argue that, at
non-league level, any
money coming into the
coffers is vital. If it keeps the
club alive then it is certainly
not as bad as Mike Ashley
renaming St James Park to e
Corporate Interest Stadium.
Marine share the ground with
AFC Liverpool (the scouse version
of F.C. United).
ey have reached the F.A. Cup 1st Round
on no fewer than 10 occasions, with their
best run coming in 1993, losing 3-1 to
Crewe Alexandra in the 3rd Round.
e early 1990’s saw Marine with one of
their most successful sides ever and
followed their cup exploits by winning the
Northern Premier League in both 1994
and 1995. Going further back into their
history, Marine reached the Amateur Cup
Final in 1932, although they lost to
Dulwich Hamlets, in front of 22,000
people at West Ham’s, Upton Park.
Two legendary football names are linked
with Marine, one famous and one not so
famous. One of my footballing heroes,
Kenny Dalglish, is a patron of the club
(Dalglish is not only one of the best
footballers I have seen live, but I will
always hold him in high esteem due to
how he handled himself following the
Hillsborough disaster). e lesser known
name linked with the club is Roly Howard
(what an evocative football name) who
managed Marine from 1972 – 2005,
taking 1,975 games in charge, a world
record that is recognised by e Guinness
Book of Records. Hopefully, this record
will stand until it is broken by Bernard and
Jonno in 2038!
If you get there early enough, and the
wind and rain are not biting too hard, you
might want to pay a visit to Crosby Beach
which is where Antony Gormley’s statues,
‘Another Place’, can be seen on the beach
and protruding out of the sea. ere is
also a tenuous local connection with
Ramsbottom, in that Cherie Blair was
brought up in Crosby after being born just
down the road from us at Fairfield
Hospital in Bury.
e journey will be nowhere near as long
as Blyth Spartans, about 1 hour and 15
minutes, so lets make sure we have
another large away day following and
make plenty of noise.
YOU RAMS! YOU RAMS!
Anthony Gormley’s creepy artwork is wortha look if you want sleepless nights.

Born in January 1991, this 6ft 2” goalkeeper
joined Rammy from FC United at the end of
August 2010. He was number two at FC

him win Player of the Year for the Rams. He
Signed full-time with the club at the start of
2011/12.
Signed for the club after impressing the
managers when he played against the Rams
for Atherton LR. Adds a whole new
dimension to the Riversiders’ squad, and
equally at home on the right side as either a
defender or attacking winger.. Brother of
Plymouth Argyle’s Deane Smalley.
Battling midfield who signed for the club in
2011 following the demise of Rossendale
United, for whom he scored a hat-trick in the
ridiculous 7-5 Rammy win the previous
season. Won the NWCFL title with the club

buxton f.c.playing at dizzying heights since 1877
Formed as an offshoot of the town's cricket
club, Buxton F.C. began life in the autumn of
1877. Its first game took place on Saturday,
October 27th, at e Park (still the home of
the cricket club) when 14 members picked
sides for a 7-a-side match.
Situated 1000 feet above sea level, the
Silverlands is the highest ground within the
Pyramid of soccer - and substantially higher
than the highest Football League ground
(e Hawthorns).
e club entered e Combination in 1891
and joined the Manchester League in 1899,
winning the championship in 1931/32,
which prompted a move to the Cheshire
League for the following season (though the
reserve side remained in the Manchester
League and won the title in 1959/60). It took
40 years to bring the Cheshire League title to
Buxton, though the club had been runners-
up in 1962/63. Promotion to the NPL for the
1973/74 season was an opportunity eagerly
seized and honours in this league comprise
the winning of the President's Cup in
1980/81 and a League Cup final appearance
at Maine Road in 1990/91.
e club's highest NPL final placing was 4th
position achieved in 1980/81, though it was
not until September 10th, 1991 "the Bucks"
actually topped the NPL (eventually finishing
5th). Buxton’s best years in the F.A. Cup came
in the two decades after World War Two. In
1951/52 the club, having defeated then
Football League Club, Aldershot, 4-3,
reached the third round proper only to lose
2-0 at Division 2 side Doncaster Rovers, while
first round appearances followed in 1958 and
1962. However in 2003/04 Buxton reached
the fourth qualifying round only to meet
their match at Nigel Clough’s Burton Albion.
p
e early days of the F.A. Trophy however
saw the club develop a considerable
reputation, reaching the quarter-finals in
1970/71 and 1971/72. A full member of the
F.A. and the Derbyshire F.A., Buxton F.C. has
won the Derbyshire Senior Cup 10 times,
including 3 times in the 1980's.
e Bucks got off to a disappointing start
in 2011/12 and John Reed and Clive Freeman
left the club in November by mutual
consent. e managerial reigns were initially
picked up by experienced player/coach Scott
Maxfield, who brought in ex-Sheffield FC
manager Chris Dolby as his assistant, but
Martin McIntosh was appointed manager in
February with ‘Maxi’ as his assistant. Results
picked up immediately and a remarkable run
of 10 wins from 12 matches at the end of the
campaign left the Bucks in 13th place when
relegation looked odds on at one stage. To
cap the season off the Bucks gained revenge
over a young Derby County side in a repeat
of the previous season’s Derbyshire Cup Final
to lift the cup with a Mark Reed goal.
In 2012/13 the Bucks finished a very
creditable 7th in Martin McIntosh’s first full
season in charge and last season, after signing
experienced former full-time professionals
like Andy Warrington and Derek Niven, the
club made a good start to the campaign but
a poor run of form around Christmas time
ended any play-off hopes and needed some
solid late-season performances to finish
13th. e lack of goals scored last season was
a factor that the club will be trying to address
and the early pre-season capture of Liam
Hardy and Shaun Tuton has added fire-
power to the squad.

CRAIG KING -Midfield (23), creative
midfielder who signed for the Bucks in the
summer of 2013. Chesterfield-born King
came through the ranks at Leicester City,
making an odd first-team appearance, and
also represented the Scotland Under-19’s
team on two occasions while with the Foxes.
He spent nearly the whole of the 2009/10
season on loan at Hereford United, scoring 3
times in 26 appearances, before being
transferred to AFC Telford United in the
summer of 2011 after another loan spell, this
time at Northampton Town. He spent one
season at Telford before joining Worksop
Town for the 2012/13 season. Craig was
voted supporters player-of-the-season last
term and found the net 8 times in 53 (1)
appearances.
DEREK NIVEN-Midfield (30), Falkirk-born
Niven came through the ranks at
Stenhousemuir before signing for Raith in
the summer of 2000, making his debut the
following January. Sam Allardyce took him to
Bolton later in 2001 but he never made a first
team appearance in nearly two years and was
transferred to Chesterfield in December
2003. Derek made a big name for himself in
nine seasons with ‘the Spireites’, making
nearly 300 league appearances, despite
battling illness for a time and will go down in
history as the last player to ever score a
league goal at Chesterfield’s old Saltergate
ground in their 2-1 victory over AFC
Bournemouth in May 2010. He was released
in the summer of 2012 and signed a one-year
contract at Grimsby Town before joining the
Bucks in the summer of 2013.He scored once
in 38 (4) appearances last season. two

When Neil Sedaka recorded One Way
Ticket to the Blues back in 1960, I’m sure he
was not singing about an away day at
Frickley, but never has a song been so
appropriate. For our recent trip to West
Yorkshire. I had decided to organise a coach
to take the supporters, although this is
something I do not normally get involved
in (for a bloody good reason I can hear you
all shouting), but sometimes you just have
to show willing.
Anyway, after a week of messaging people
and making phone calls, we had a full
complement of sixteen Ultras leaving
Ramsbottom at 12.00 for the short (ish)
journey up the M62. Everything was going
well and we made excellent progress, and
were on the outskirts of Frickley not long
after 1.00. is was when the first sign of
things to come occurred. I asked the driver
if we could stop for a pint and some lunch
just outside of the town, but he said he had
another job to go to, so we carried on and
arrived at the ground for 1.30. Upon arrival,
the driver said he
had no knowledge
of being booked to
take us back for the
return trip which
set me into
something of a
panic. While Little
Katie was trawling
through my e-mails
for proof of a return
trip, Mrs Darkside was on the phone to the
travel company but all to no avail. A few
more phone calls and we had established
that there would be enough travelling
Ultras in cars to make sure we all could get
home safely after the game, so we bade our
driver a (not so) fond farewell
We then made our way into the ground,
me with a very red and embarrassed face,
and made our way to the bar. It was not
long before I was getting a text from Martin
‘Julius Caesar’ Hulme who was in Chester,
calling me Mr Shearings.. I realised then
that this would go down in Rammy folklore
and will never be forgotten so I consoled
myself in a pint of Bombardier in the
Frickley clubhouse. Luckily, there was
another excellent away following and by
3.00 there seemed to be as many Rammy
Ultras there as home supporters.
e first half saw Rammy racing into a
2-0 lead and the half time pint tasted much
sweeter as we looked forward to more of
the same in the second half and another 3
points to take home to East Lancashire.
...how wrong we were. Full credit to our
hosts who absolutely battered us in the
second half and came away with a 4-2
victory, although it could have been more
if it was not for Shents making some fine
saves. At the final whistle both teams were
applauded from the pitch by both sets of
supporters who seemed to be in agreement
on the officials, who quite rightly got booed
off (not sour grapes here as we were saying
from the darksidedarren comer reports on the latest
rammy ultras adventures
p
from the darkside
the quality was poor even when we were in
the lead).
I enjoyed the Frickley supporters company
on the day, especially after some of the
previous weeks’ scare-mongering when
some said it would be like going to the Old
Den at Millwall wearing a West Ham shirt.
Myself, Mrs Darkside and Callum the
Camera had managed to get a lift back with
Dave and his son Young Jake, and we had a
great journey home in the
end. e highlight of the
journey home was passing a
car that had stopped on the
hard shoulder of the M62 so
that a certain, nameless Ultra
could relieve himself of the
afternoon’s beers.
We arrived back in Rammy
at 6.00 and made our way
down to the cricket club for a
few more beers and a bit more
mickey taking out of yours
truly, only this time it included
the players, management and
of course, Harry was never going to let me
get away with this one lightly. What the
travel disaster did show is that we really are
a family at Rammy and that we all pulled
together to make sure everyone got home
from Frickley. anks to all who gave us lifts
home and many more apologies to those
who travelled armed only with a One Way
Ticket to the Blues.
Malc toys with getting
a pie, but wonders if
it’ll be like a proper
pie from Lancashire
Now we know
where Frickley is,
but we’re not so
sure about the place
p
As I looked around the large crowd last
week, I couldn’t help giving a little smile at
how far Rammy has come. We visit so many
clubs, even at this level, where the support
comprises nobbut a load of old fellas, yet at
Rammy we find that a huge proportion of
our supporters are women and children. As
I’ve said last week, they aren’t just footy
families doing dad’s thing, but real fans who
know what’s going on, understand the game,
and know the players... and why the heck not!
I was also reading about this ‘Rooney Rule’
in America, where clubs are forced to
interview black candidates for managerial
jobs, and the possibility that the FA may
introduce it in this country. Perhaps things
are different in America, or even elsewhere in
this country, but I consider that singling out
someone based on their race is not relevant
in football, or in life. At Rammy we have black
players and white players, and ginger players
- who cares! Our players get into the team
based purely on their ability, which is exactly
as it should be, and if we appointed a
manager it would similarly be based on their
ability! Last month Jordan Hulme was voted
Supporters Player of the
Month, this time around
it was Osebi Abadaki -
does it matter what
colour they are? We
are a completely
inclusive club,
without having to get
things forced on us,
and I can’t help thinking
that something like this “Rooney Rule” will
just create animosity where none currently
exists - particularly in places that are perhaps
not as open and accepting as Rammy.
Oops - I ended up ranting, when all I meant
to say was that I was proud about the
diversity of the Rammy Family - supporters
and players alike. I hope that Saturday’s
crowd, and great atmosphere shows us all
that we need children at our matches, and
we need to take steps to make our games a
more attractive proposition than a visit to
other local clubs.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank
Callum and Jack for the sterling work that
they’re putting into helping make rammy.tv
a success. ey’re both very talented, and it’s
great to have them onboard. I thought it was
great testament to the Rammy Experience
that Callum asked us to get him a Rammy
shirt to say thanks for all his hard work - he
seemed pretty chuffed that he had it
presented by Bernard too.
Just a quick note about the parking
situation at Rammy, after a heated meeting
we’ve just had in the Oaks. If you get to the
ground after about 2:35pm then please don’t
even attempt to get down the service road. I
spent half an hour running around trying to
unpick the grid-lock a couple of weeks ago,
and everyone involved was going nowhere
and getting extremely frustrated. It’s an issue
that desperately needs dealing with, but until
it’s addressed we’ll just have to use our own
common sense and avoid the area in the
minutes preceding the match.
