Ashford's "ties" to Wolves!
Written by Beano   
Tuesday, 09 March 2010
The club discovered yesterday that they have a link to Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.  Attending sports merchandise trade show SMEX at Wembley Stadium, club Assistant Secretary Gareth Coates bumped into Terry Finch of Ties International who revealed that, after winning the Football League Championship, the Wolves decided to produce a commemorative tie.

The Molineux club were very taken with our own distinctive black, tangerine and white design and wanted to produce their own version.  However, Ties International refused to allow the Wolves to use our tie and instead helped them to adapt it to create their own version.

Only thirty ties were produced, which were then presented by the club to the title-winning players and staff.

Wolves were kind enough to donate a signed pennant to the Paul Burgess Testimonial, so we are more than happy to have provided the inspiration for their special tie.  Whether we can use this to persuade them down for a pre-season game is, at this stage, unclear but we have identified some new merchandising opportunities that we will be developing in the coming months.

In the meantime, the inspiring neckwear is available to buy online.

 
Under 18's at Woking on Tuesday

woking

Midweek action this week revolves around the Under-18’s, whose match away to Woking on Tuesday evening is the only one involving any Ashford team.

It is a “top of the table” clash between first and second, with Woking currently on top with eighteen points from their nine matches played, whilst Ashford have sixteen points but have played two less matches.  Ashford won a close fought match back at Short Lane in November by four goals to two and will return to the top of the league if they can repeat the victory.

Please note that kick-off at Woking is 7.30 p.m.

 
Both Teams lose

It was a poor day for the Club yesterday with both teams losing.

Following two consecutive defeats, Manager Jamie Lawrence rang a few changes for yesterday’s trip to Aveley, starting with Jones Awuah and Scott Harris up front, and introducing Jo McNerney on loan from Woking at centre-half.  Jamie England and Brian Haule dropped to the bench, whilst Russell Canderton was ill.

The match started brightly for the visitors but with the swirling wind making things difficult, it was Aveley who took the lead.  Ashford were then incensed when what appeared to be a clear foul on Jermain McGlashan in the area was not punished with a penalty kick, followed immediately by the disallowing of a goal for offside, when some reckoned that the ball was actually played by a home defender, Scott Harris being the man to suffer.

Ashford did  equalise though early in the second half when a Paul Johnson corner eluded everyone and Jones Awuah was the quickest to re-act stabbing the ball home on his full debut.

One hoped that from that point, Ashford might go on to take all three points but the reverse happened as Aveley scored what  turned out to be the winner, with some fifteen minutes left.  A long ball caught the visitor’s defence out and as keeper Paul Burgess came racing out of his goal it was fairly clear that he would not make it and he found himself stranded as the ball was lobbed into the empty net from some distance.

Full report to come from Terry Ryan.

The Suburban  team  battled  hard  against an efficient Sutton United  side back at Short Lane but the visitors scored three times without reply for a deserved victory.
