Rhodes 243 Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 A team sheet from Leverstock Green v Brache Sparta in a 2002/03 SSML Division One fixture, at Pancake Lane on Saturday 11 Janauary 2003. Leverstock Green won 2-1 and were promoted that season despite only finishing fourth, 21 points behind Champions Pitstone & Ivinghoe who were unable to gain promotion as were Tring Athletic, Mick Vipond's men went up with Harpenden Town and have remained in the Premier Division ever since: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodes 243 Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 (edited) Savagebee - Yes, that's a turn up for the books isn't it, Leverstock Green never like to dispense with a Manager's services as they are such a nice Club. I didn't think that Matt Harding was doing such a bad job and of course he had Mick Vipond as his trusted 'lieutenant', what more could he ask for.

Rhodes 243 Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 (edited) Despite Matt Harding's surprise departure from Pancake Lane this week it should still be an interesting visit to Broadwater this afternoon (22 May) to take on Berkhamsted in an end of season friendly fixture. I think Berkhamsted are being a little optimistic though if they are expecting an attendance of 650: Berkhamsted FC are delighted to welcome supporters back to Broadwater to watch the first team on Saturday 22nd May It is an end-of-season friendly against local rivals Leverstock Green. The match will kick off at 3pm and the clubhouse bar will be open from 12 noon. Admission to the game will be £5 for adults, with concessions £3 and under 16s free with an adult or £1 unaccompanied. The match-day programme is £1.50. The turnstile and tea bar are cash only, but card payments are taken in the clubhouse (including for admission). Current government regulations will allow both indoor and outdoor table service from the bar, but indoors still requires tables of six or two households with adherence to social distancing and rules on face coverings – though no substantial meals are required! The club will monitor government and FA announcements ahead of the game to make sure we're compliant on the day. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to the entire local community, and it would be great to see as many supporters as possible, old and new, to watch the Comrades in action for the final time in season 2020/21. The FA have provided us with details of increased attendance limits, and for this game we’re allowed up to 650 fans – we’re confident all will be able to watch the game, but please allow a bit of extra time on arrival for track and trace. Do keep an eye on our social media for news on our exciting plans for next season, including the new kit & merchandising partnership with O'Neills and our pre-season fixture schedule. We look forward to welcoming you all to Broadwater. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/berkhamstedfootballclub/news/comrades-host-leverstock-green-on-22-may-to-finish-season-2616617.html Edited May 22 by Rhodes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodes 243 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 (edited) YouTube highlights, and match report, from Staines Town v Leverstock Green in a 2014/15 FA Cup Second Qualifying Round tie, at Staines Town on Saturday 27 September 2014. Then Conference South Staines Town unsurprisingly won 5-0 and halted Leverstock Green's impressive run where they had beaten Newport Pagnell Town, Harefield United and Biggleswade United under supremo Dene Gardner: Leverstock Green F.C.

Rhodes 243 Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 The latest newsletter from Leverstock Green for June, also I see that the Club are advertising the vacancy for First Team Manager however I thought Mick Vipond had been handed the role on a silver platter: Leverstock Green FC June Newsletter by Tony Smart - issuu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agamemnon3 34 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The evergreen Fergus Moore was today appointed First Team Manager at Leverstock Green. He is joined by the equally evergreen Scott McGleish and Paul Marks as Assistant Manager and Coach respectively. Excellent appointments all round, and an entertaining season ahead for the Trees.

Rhodes 243 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 GRS67 - Leverstock Green must have seen something in Fergus Moore to appoint him ahead of 21 other candidates for the job and I hope it won't come back to bite them, Fergus, Scott McGleish and Paul Marks will come in like a whirlwind and change things beyond all recognition bringing in many of the players that were at Edgware Town before Fergus left without seeing what they already have at their disposal at Pancake Lane. Had the Club appointed Mick Vipond little or nothing would have changed and it would still be the Leverstock Green we all know and love, perhaps Mick wasn't interested in staying on after Matt Harding was unceremoniously shown the door.

Rhodes 243 Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 (edited) GRS67 - I wonder what the Leverstock Green hierarchy thought when listening to it, Fergus is not exactly an Eddie Howe for example is he when interviewed which makes it surprising why the Club said they were so impressed with him at the interview stage for the job.
