Football has gone.
The Premier League is so far removed from reality it’s embarrassing - to many games in the PL? They’ve the least games in the 4 divisions of the pro game & don’t care about lower club’s finances. The EFL should just break away and stick 2 fingers up at the PL
39 years ago 56 people never returned from a football match. They are always in our hearts.
Our thoughts as always are with them and their families today and everyday
#bcafc
This mans ego and total lack of knowledge of football has shafted years of hard work from a lot of people at
#bcafc
.
Let this be a lesson to all clubs at any level to do your due diligence on a new owner before letting someone into your club - Thanks Edin for ruining everything
Football summed up in one word ..money
The Premier League can’t afford to finish ...Div 2 can’t afford to start again.
Non leagues now been brushed under the carpet & forgotten.
Surely time for the authorities to take a long hard look at everything - they won’t ... money 💰
Huge thanks to everyone involved at
@Steetonfc
for not only the presentation to me today, but also to everyone who volunteered and those that supported us in front of a record crowd of nearly 1000. The
@OfficialBuryAFC
supporters were a credit to their club 💚💚
During the lockdown I’ve decided to sort out my
@officialbantams
shirt collection - will be adding a few more pictures, I’ll start with the home shirts
#bcafc
How on earth can a club have an “Elite Under 5s” this is what’s wrong with modern day football - most of these kids will have been released in a couple of years their dreams shattered and lost to the game forever - clubs should not be able to take lads U12 years old IMO
Tomorrow night will be an incredibly proud moment for me, never did I expect to manage 500 games - a huge thank you to everyone at
@Steetonfc
for all their support over the years.
The biggest thank you goes to my family for all their support over the past 15 years 💚
#chevrons
Immensely proud of my
@Steetonfc
players today, not the result we wanted against a strong
@OfficialBuryAFC
side - but we gave a great account of ourselves & I think we can look forward to a successful season. Best of luck to
@andy_welsh11
and his team for the rest of the season
Absolutely delighted for
@_andybriggs
- showing what a class act he is. If anyone deserves some success it’s him, his work rate and attitude for continuous improvement is second to none 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Im struggling to think of a manager in my 40 years that has as much disconnect with the club as DA - the footballs dire & he’s no idea as to engage with the fans and ethos of the club - unfortunately he’s also too stubborn to change either

@fuelhubuk
Planning my 15th pre season as
@Steetonfc
manager and I’m just as excited to get going again as when I took my first one - it’s been a tough couple of seasons but with a new ground and a great set of lads we’ve a lot to look forward to
#chevrons
I’ve said it on here a few times, but I’d go for
@Robbie9Fowler
as next
#bcafc
manager. He’s coached abroad with some success, got all his badges, would relate with supporters & the clubs ethos as well as playing an attacking brand of football.
I can’t speak highly enough of
@_andybriggs
- watched him progress from a raw 16 year old to club captain. You can’t stand in the way of a players progression and on behalf of everyone at
@Steetonfc
we wish him all the best in his
@buryfcofficial
career 👏🏻
⚪️🔵 Briggs Commits To The Shakers!
Free-scoring striker Andy Briggs has committed to joining Andy Welsh’s side from Steeton for the coming season!
Please be sure to give him a proper Bury welcome! We can’t wait to see him in action in blue & white.

Only 3
#bcafc
players I’ve ever been gutted about leaving were Stuart McCall & John Hendrie after loosing in the play offs to Boro & Nakhi Wells when he joined Huddersfield- couldn’t care less about Watt or Vernham going they are no where near these 3
Given the state of the club when he took over & the limited budget he had, pound for pound this man is the best manager in
#bcafc
history - league cup final appearance & consistent YoY improvement - name me a better manager
No one talking about Richie Wellens as the next
#bcafc
manager, seemed nailed on before MH got the job & I’ve heard through good sources it’s a job he’s always had his eye on, northern lad and would be a popular appointment with fans.
Gutted with tonights result, but I’m immensely proud of the way my
@Steetonfc
lads played tonight & they way they conducted themselves throughout the game - congratulations to
@andy_welsh11
& his
@OfficialBuryAFC
side on their victory & we look forward to welcoming you to Marley
Footballs gone to hell in a handcart - 1/4 final of the FA Cup and we have VAR at one game and not at the other as they are not an
@premierleague
team 🤷♂️- hang your heads in shame
@EmiratesFACup
football is now just about the elite and two fingers up at the 72 FL clubs 😡
37 Years have now passed since that fateful day - thankfully I was one of the lucky ones that returned home that day.
56 people unfortunately didn’t return that day. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families today and forever.
34 Goals from Vaughan & Doyle this season - shouldn’t we be building a team & play a system to create chances for these two - big gamble by Bowyer
#bcafc
Always on the look out for a new signing to strengthen the
@Steetonfc
squad - unfortunately I couldn’t quite persuade
@kylewalker2
to make the move to Marley
I’d like to give a huge thank you to all our
@Steetonfc
staff and wonderful volunteers for all their efforts yesterday. A record crowd of nearly 1000 and everything went without a hitch.
You all did a superb job and without you guys it wouldn’t have been possible 👏🏻
After Saturday’s heartbreak at
@OfficialBuryAFC
on Saturday it was great to bounce back with a win and a clean sheet tonight at
@golcarunited
- huge credit to my players who have put two big shifts in away to two of the teams I’d expect to be at the top end of the table 👏🏻👏🏻
A great performance from the
@Steetonfc
lads today - to go away to a side that’s unbeaten this season in the league and get a 3-0 win speaks volumes for the kind of lads we have in the squad at the moment. A new system and two players making strong debuts, it’s been a good day
Manager on a short term contract
Interim CEO
Owner who doesn’t want to be there
Players there who couldn’t care less
The future for
#bcafc
is very worrying
A hugely successful buisness man that has been prepared to go to Australia, India and Saudi Arabia in order to prove himself as a manager shows the hunger
@Robbie9Fowler
has to be a manager in the UK. Now at 6/1 for the
#bcafc
job
So proud of the team on the field as well as that off it - not only have we managed to get our first league game played at Marley, a 3-0 victory seals a perfect day - well done to everyone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
After nearly 23 years at JD Williams today was my last day.
I’ve worked with some amazing people over the years and I’d like to thank everyone who I’ve worked with in this time.
I’m not sure what the future holds, but as they say as one door closes another one opens.
5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ not out.
⚽️ An incredible achievement by the gaffer
@SteetonJose
this evening as he takes charge of his 500th game as manager of Steeton.
👏 Congratulations from all of us, Roy!
#chevrons
My 3 favourite
#bcafc
teams in my time supporting them - all had pride, passion and would die for the cause - all had strong characters and leaders & all gained promotion
With all this talk of a European Super League, next season vote with your feet & get down to watch your local non league club - where your support will be appreciated & your £5 goes towards the running of the club not into a soulless millionaires pocket
#NoToEuropeanSuperLeague
Obviously disappointing Vernham has left
#bcafc
but he’s hardly going to go down as one of the iconic players of the club. Lincoln obviously paying decent money - so let’s move on and trust Hughes’ judgment
Not sure if pre season goals count for goal of the season otherwise Toby Jeffrey would have had it wrapped up with this strike from his own half yesterday for
@Steetonfc
Tough week but great response today - that result is for all those have backed me this week - your support is hugely appreciated, especially my fellow non league managers who have rung me or messaged me this week 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
FULL TIME: Steeton 2-1
@golcarunited
It got very tense and edgy towards the end but the boys hold on to finish a tough week on a high with the three points through Briggsy and Ben!
#chevrons
Thanks to everyone at
@Steetonfc
for yesterday’s presentation to mark my 600 games as manager. Lovely to have my family there too.
It’s was hugely appreciated 💚
We have nearly sold out our first allocation of 500 tickets for the
@OfficialBuryAFC
game on 27th December.
What a great effort 👏🏻👏🏻
Get yours via the enclosed link before they sell out completely 👇
🎟️ Admission £6. BUY:
Don’t understand the meltdown over Lewis - the clubs got good money for a player who cost nothing and the players got a good increase in wages, so neither party was going to say no. I trust Doyle to have brought a more than adequate replacement in, who isn’t old for a GK
#bcafc
@ParkerTandA
I can honestly say from the conversations I’ve had with Ryan there’s nobody that wants success at this football club more than him. We all have our opinions but to hound the guy like this is totally wrong
11th May 1985 - I along with many other supporters went to watch us claim our 1st championship for many years - I was lucky, unfortunately 56 people were not.
My thoughts & prayers are with the 56 people who lost their lives that tragic day.
We will never forget
#rip56
Some clubs need to look at their ticket prices and take a leaf out of
@officialbantams
book - hopefully bigger crowds to come as the promotion train gathers pace
#bcafc
Bradford City had a higher attendance in League Two than:
- Premier League Burnley and Brentford
- 9 of the 12 home Championship sides
- 11 of the 12 home League One sides
- Every other home League Two side
🙌
#bcafc
A big thank you to everyone at
@Emley_AFC
today for their hospitality. A great club with great supporters who applauded our players off the pitch today. Very gracious in victory & despite the disappointment of our defeat I hope they go on a get the promotion they deserve
Can’t wait for our first competitive fixture at Marley tomorrow when we entertain
@Nelsonfc1
- a huge thank you to everyone that has contributed towards getting it ready - 12 months hard work finally over 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
GOALKEEPER REQUIRED
We need to bring a keeper in for this Saturday’s game due to an injury crisis - can any of my non league or pro club friends help - ideally someone with experience of Step 6 football or above ☝️
Football isn’t just about the players on the pitch, it’s also about people in the community getting involved and them feeling part of something.
Fozzy was great for Steeton and Steeton was great for Fozzy.
I’ll miss buying him that pint every Saturday night 💚💚💚
Steeton AFC are this morning devastated by the news that much loved club volunteer Steven 'Fozzy' Foster passed away on Thursday evening.
Steven's passion for the club always shone and our thoughts are with Fozzy's family and friends at this difficult time.
Always a Chevvie 💚
1/2 After 4 years in semi professional football & 16 years as
@Steetonfc
manager, to be told tonight I’m the man that has taken football out of the village and it’s all about my own ego has really shocked me - I’ve spent countless hours and not to mention my own money…
FULL TIME | Steeton 3-1
@SilsdenAFC

WHAT A DIG. WHAT A RESPONSE!
The best 90 minute performance of the season from the boys gives us bragging rights, the train station, and a place in the second round of the County Cup!
#chevrons
What a difference 7 days make in football …2 great wins and 8 goals scored in that period. Some quality new signings with another one or two more this week 💚 this football club
@Steetonfc
A fantastic servant to the football club and in a time where loyalty doesn’t seem so to count, Alistair has shown proper old school values really do matter. A big thank you from me for everything you’ve done for us 💚
👏 After 311 appearances for the club, today marked
@AlistairMorgan1
last game before departing due to work commitments.
The word legend is overused in the modern world, but in Morgini's case it isn't strong enough.
Thank you for everything, Al 💚
#chevrons
Back to pre season training tomorrow with
@Steetonfc
as I prepare for my 18th season in charge. Looking forward to it more than ever. We’ve a great group of players and some fantastic new additions should give us all confidence going into new season 💚
Steeton AFC are today saddened by the passing of former player Nicky Trowers on Tuesday (30th April) following his eight-year battle with a brain tumour.
Our thoughts at this extremely difficult time are with Nicky's loved ones and teammates.
Rest in peace, Nicky.

Am I on my own in thinking that this would be a great new badge for next season’s
@officialbantams
kit - a clean and modern twist on an old badge
#bcafc
Craig Bellamy - young coach worked under Neil Warnock at Cardiff and keen to get into management could well fit
#bcafc
bill - with high profile players like Lampard and Gerrard now in management it could also be a great appointment from a media and sponsor perspective
During the lockdown I’ve decided to sort out my
@officialbantams
shirt collection - will be adding a few more pictures, here are the away shirts
#bcafc
Does integrity stand for nothing these days with some of our supporters? A manager sets the tone for the whole club he should uphold and promote the values of the club not someone we turn a blind eye to their previous misdemeanours
#bcafc
I think if the
#bcafc
supporters knew the constraints that Fowler had to work under in India, they may more of an understanding of what he achieved - players playing a level above what they were signed for and a 10 day pre season suggests to me he did do a good job
The joys of being a non league football manager, when you have a game Saturday and another bank holiday Monday - warm up tops and bibs all fresh for the Steeton lads tomorrow..& yes it was me that washed them not the wife 🤣🤣🤣
@bantamsbanter
More than ever the club needs unity & Evans is already creating more division just by his name being mentioned, sometimes you just can’t forget what’s happened in the past
#bcafc
Bowyer has had a lot of stick over
@eoindoyle88
and how’s he’s not got the best out of him but after listening to his interviews we are better off without him - must go down as one of the most arrogant players to ever pull on a
#bcafc
shirt
In a era where loyalty is becoming rarer and rarer, Josh has stuck with us through thick and thin. A huge thank you from me for what you’ve done for the club Josh 💚
💯 This past Saturday marked
@JoshhMckiernon
100th appearance as a Steeton player!
🍸 A century up for
#PinkGin
in the middle of the park and what a servant he's been these past four and half seasons!
🙌 Let us know your favourite 'Kekkers' moment!

Didn’t realise this until
@JChappers94
told me on Saturday. It’s been some journey so far, but couldn’t have done it without some incredible support, especially from my family 💚

The milestones just keeping coming for the gaffer as
@SteetonJose
prepares to take charge of his 550th competitive game as Steeton manager tomorrow evening.
👏 Congratulations from us all, Roy!
😅 Maybe leave the finishing to
@_andybriggs
though!
#chevrons
Not sure what’s happened at
@CurzonAshton
but
@StevenCunny
has done an incredible job so far this season & will be another clubs gain I’m pretty sure as not many eat, sleep and breathe their job like this lad does
Can’t believe the amount of
#bcafc
supporters defending the club yet again - until the natives start getting restless and demand change, we will be stuck in Div 2 forever - time to stop accepting mediocrity & being blinded by McCall being the saviour
The biggest news on
@SkySportsNews
should be about
@OfficialBWFC
, but it’s given a 60 second slot before we go through yesterday’s
@premierleague
games yet again - unfortunately football doesn’t care enough about anything outside the top flight - it needs to change

Very proud of the

@golcarunited
side - thanks to them for their hospitality tonight
A huge thank you to everyone that has supported
@Steetonfc
this season - it’s been very much appreciated by all the players and staff at the club. I personally feel for
@lowerbreck
&
@AFCLiverpool
who were the best sides by far this season & deserved their promotion.
This week has been one of my toughest as
@Steetonfc
manager. But huge credit to the players today for putting in a huge performance a big thank you to a few very close friends for their support this week, it really means a lot. 👏🏻👏🏻
2/2 trying to drive this club forward for no other motive than pushing this club forward has shocked me & tonight to be thrown out of my local pub for asking for Steeton memorabilia to be handed back to me has really made me question is it really worth it
A huge thank you for everyone today for their messages, game 500 went quite well….a huge thank you to the supporters that made the journey and to
@THERAILFC
for the fantastic gesture and presentation before the game, it really was appreciated 👋👋
A huge thank you for the incredible support yesterday, it was hugely appreciated. It’s been a disappointing season to say the least, but I’d like to thank all the volunteers, players, supporters and sponsors for all their efforts this season 👏🏻💚
