FA Cup and Trophy
The
draws for the FA competitions
have thrown up a mixed bag. In
the FA Cup First
Qualifying Round on Saturday 12
September the visitors to
Nethermoor from the north east
will be either
South
Shields or Newcastle Benfield or
Whitley Bay or Dunston UTS
The FA
Trophy sees the Lions travel to
Unibond Division One opposition
at either Cammell Laird
or Stamford
in the First Qualifying Round on
Saturday 17 October.
Ground Redevelopment Latest
The redevelopment of
Nethermoor is coming on in leaps
and bounds as the steel
framework for the new stand is
currently being erected. The
stand will seat just over three
hundred and disability provision
is included in the design. With
a much steeper rake and no
supporting columns to restrict
sight lines the new
structure will provide a far
better viewpoint than the stand
it replaces.
The posts for the perimeter
fence at the Railway End are
also being sited ready to accept
the concrete infill's.
Bob Jeffray has also contributed
some images of the new
floodlights when they were first
switched on. Although the lights
are much brighter than the old
lamps the efficiency of the
technology means that they
produce much less light
pollution whilst consuming a lot
less power than which should
help reduce the clubs energy
bill.

Leeds United Pull Out of
Friendly
Club Statement
It
is with much regret that, due to
circumstances beyond our
control, GAFC has to announce
the cancellation of their
prestigious fixture with Leeds
United on the 3rd of
August.
Even at this very late stage
work is in progress to find an
alternative fixture in order to
mitigate the effect this
disappointing turn of events
will have on the club’s
projected revenue.
Scarborough Fixture
Scarborough friendly is
definitely off due to the
logistics of getting the
Reserve squad to Scarborough for
a midweek match. GAFC were
originally approached by
Scarborough regarding the game
but then seem to have taken it
upon themselves to announce the
fixture without a solid
confirmation from the Lions.
The Reserves already have a full
schedule of pre-season
friendlies arranged
details of which will appear on
the website as soon as they are
confirmed.
In the meantime the First Team
return to training this week in
buoyant mood according to
Manager
Steve Kittrick. There
should also be an addition to
the first team squad next
week with the signing of a
player from a Conference North
club . Details will be released
once the transfer has gone
though with the FA.

Unibond Fixtures
Statement on the Unibond
