WEMBLEY STADIUM LIGHTS UP FOR SHILDON FC

 

Ahead of this weekend’s Emirates FA Cup Final, Wembley Stadium has lit up its iconic arch in the colours of all 737 teams to play in the competition this season, including Shildon FC

 

737 teams from Step 6 of the National League system through to the Premier League took part in the 137th edition of the world’s oldest domestic cup competition, involving over 11,000 players and resulting in over 3,000 goals. Days before the showpiece Final which will be played at Wembley Stadium connected by EE, the stadium’s arch and big screen lit up to celebrate every one of the clubs, from the 370 who started in the Extra Preliminary Round in early August through to the two Premier League finalists who will be battling it out for the trophy this weekend.

 

This season’s Emirates FA Cup Final kicks off at 17:15 on Saturday 19 May and will see Antonio Conte’s Chelsea and Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United go head to head for the coveted silverware.

FA Cup 4QR: Guiseley 6 Shildon 0

Shildon went out of the FA Cup with a 6-0 defeat at Guiseley.

An even first half ended 0-0 with Shildon creating the best chance when Harwood found Lewis Dodds free in the box, but his shot was saved by the Guiseley keeper. Shildon’s defence was outstanding in the first half holding out well against a side looking to get the ball launched forward at every opportunity.

In the second half  Guiseley scored 3 in the first 15 minutes through Fondop, Holden and a penalty from Rooney which Kyle May sent off for conceding. 3 Further goals, 2 from Hatfield and Fondop’s second made the final score 6-0.

Shildon can hold their heads high for a cup run that started back on the 5th August

Special message from Ray Gowan, former Shildon AFC manager #EmiratesFACup

Former Shildon AFC manager Ray Gowan has emailed in and even though he will be 6,000 miles away will be glued to any form of media he can get hold of.

He said

“I was Manager the last time Shildon reached the FA Cup First Round (it was the last time that ANY Northern League club went that far as well) and although I am 6000 miles away I will be following every kick and keeping my fingers crossed that it happens again on Saturday. It’s a tough draw against a Conference side on their ground but they have been struggling this season and will be under great pressure as favorites. We have a great chance of making an impact and I sincerely hope that the feat of some 13 years ago can be repeated. It’s a beautiful ground with a good surface which will suit our style and the whole of the Cape Town branch of the Supporters Club will be rooting for the lads. Come on The Railway Men!”

following on with

“One of my very best South African mates called Laurie Snyman who has never even been close to an airplane, let alone England, went out and bought a red and white scarf yesterday. That’s how excited we all are here.

There are two very good omens, although Guiseley have gone on a bit since then, – My Brandon United side of 1983/84 went to Nethermoor Park and won 1-0 in the FA Vase fifth round and my Spennymoor side of 1989/90 also beat them there in the first season that we were in The Northern Counties East League. Let’s make it a hat-trick!”

Let’s all get behind the team in the proper way and make this a special day out

Shildon travel to Guiseley on Saturday, hoping for a good result.

The Club knows that there are a good number of supporters travelling to the game. We are sure this fantastic show of support will help spur the team on to a great performance, but most importantly fans should make sure that they arrive early for the game, especially as roads will be very busy with closure of the A1 North & South between J51 (Leeming Bar and Scotch Corner).

Shildon Football Club is proud of its community and family based support and cannot, and will not, tolerate inappropriate behaviour or crowd disturbance of any kind. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the Club’s supporters at all our football matches and, with your help, we will do everything possible to eradicate the very small minority, of either individuals or small groups, who purport to represent the Club in an inappropriate manner.

The Club will work with the police and other authorities to investigate any reported incident of crowd disturbance and identify perpetrators and take the most severe sanction available to it. We will not tolerate any unruly behaviour, and will assist the police in any prosecutions.

So let’s all get behind the team in the proper way and make this a special day out for all the right reasons
