Welcome to Cammell Laird 1907
Good afternoon and welcome to today’s North West Counties League
Division 1 South game against Cammell Laird 1907. We welcome their
officials, players and supporters to the Step Places stadium here at
Brookburn Road and we hope they enjoy our hospitality today.
As this is our first home game of 2020 we would also like to wish everyone a
Happy and prosperous New Year.
We have already met this season back in September when we returned from the Wirral with a
hard fought 2-1 win. Lairds are currently in 10th place in the league on 29 points, although they
are currently on a run of 5 straight defeats.
As for ourselves our recent results have been a real mixed bag. A narrow loss at Stockport Town
was followed by a disappointing afternoon on Boxing Day when we were comprehensively beaten
by Maine Road in the South Manchester derby. This was followed by a frustrating draw at bottom
club St Martins before we returned to winning ways last Saturday with a 2-1 win away at Alsager.
Hopefully we can now go on a winning run before we become too detached from the top 4.
Our ground renaming ceremony which was postponed in December due to the adverse weather
conditions has now been rearranged for March 14th when we entertain current league leaders
Vauxhall Motors. Hopefully the day will prove to be an enjoyable occasion with much better
weather.
Following the last 2 home games the committee has now decided that the flooding situation at the
ground entrance and car parks cannot be allowed to continue. This was due to be addressed as
part of the proposed upgrade of the ground currently being assessed by the local council
planners, however the problems caused by the adverse weather now need urgent maintenance
action. Accordingly, we have asked consultants to assess the work required with regards to
drainage and we hope to progress this as soon as possible.
Our coming fixtures continue to be very lop sided. Following today’s game we have 4 away
games, at:
• Cheadle Town next Wednesday 15 January ko 8pm
• Stone Old Alleynians on Saturday 18 January ko 3pm
• Wythenshawe Town on Tuesday 21 January ko 7.30pm
• Cheadle Heath Nomads on Saturday 25 January ko 3pm
Our next home game is:
• Tuesday 28 January when we entertain Sandbach United ko 7.45pm.
This is the first of 6 consecutive home games throughout February which will be advised nearer
the time.
Finally. it is noticeable that we are taking more and more supporters to away games, we now
have a regular away following of at least 20, who never fail to make themselves heard. This
support is much appreciated by the management and players and we thank you for your efforts.
Thank you for visiting Step Places Stadium and have a safe journey home.

Chairman’s Notes…
A warm welcome to the Step Places Stadium to the officials and players from today’s
visitors; Cammell Laird Football Club and today’s match officials. Welcome also to our
amazing fans and spectators - your support is greatly appreciated.
This is our first home game of the new decade and we look forward to the match against a
club that we have faced several times before in some stirring and tough encounters both
home and away, particularly when we were both competing in the NWCFL Premier
Division.
It was very encouraging to start the new decade positively following a 2-1 away win
against a resurgent Alsager Town FC last Saturday. Backed by our fantastic and
vociferous travelling supporters it was great to witness the togetherness of the team and
the huge levels of energy and effort they exerted to secure victory. I hope this will give us
the platform needed to push us closer to the top four.
As you would expect, changes in our first team management have led to a transition
period and we have seen some players leave the club and new players joining us. Chris
and his backroom team have faced additional challenges due to the festive holidays –
coach and player availability, injuries and development of new relationships on the pitch as
new players begin to establish themselves. A sustained period of stability and strong
performances together with a firm commitment from our group of players will have a
significant impact on the remainder of the season.
Our Women’s Team are facing higher calibre opposition following their promotion last
season to the North West Women’s Regional League. Consolidation is the aim for this
season and I look forward to watching some of their matches and the Women’s
Development Team matches over the next few weeks. Women’s and girl’s football is a
growth area for WDCFC.
Junior football is also a growth area for WDCFC and the number of teams in the Junior
section continues to increase. Tim and his colleagues are working hard to improve
coaching standards and coaching resilience for each team. These foundations will serve
to strengthen our position and reputation as one of the top junior clubs in South
Manchester.
Our Vets team are having a good season and are aiming to finish in a high league
position.
Off the pitch the WDCFC committee have been focusing on the implemention of a
programme of work aimed at improving the governance and structure of WDCFC. We will
publish more information about this important work later this month. To deliver the
programme of work in full we will need some help from new volunteers both within and
outside the club with specific professional expertise and experience in a number of key
areas. Committee colleagues and I will set out our requirements over the next few
weeks. We would be grateful for any help that fans, their friends or work colleagues can
provide.
Enjoy today's game and stay safe… Come on West!
