Saturday Management Team
We are incredibly pleased to announce our new management team for our flagship Saturday side. Tommy Lovatt & Curtis Fairweather will be taking the reigns with immediate effect.
Tommy & Curtis come in with a wealth of knowledge in the Norfolk Grassroots football - in fact, they managed against us back in our first season in the Anglian Combination when they were in charge of a good Wymondham Town Reserves side.
Plans for preseason are already in place, with training set to start on Wednesday 18 June @ Brundall 3G, 8-9pm. If you want to become a part of FC Steamers then you are more than welcome to attend, just let us know in advance - you can do that by completing this form: Join The Steamers.
It is imperative we place on record our thanks to outgoing manager, Matthew Burgess. He came in to the role in turbulent times, and steadied the ship & then some, taking home the North East Norfolk League Division 1 title in our first season. Promotion to the Anglian Combination followed and we finished 4th in Division 5 (South) which saw us placed in to Division 3 (South) for the 24-25 season following a restructure in the League.
We are looking forward to this new era for the club, and hope you come along for the ride. Please do give Tommy & Curtis the warmest of welcomes as we look to the future.
Up The Steamers.
Saturday Management Vacancies
A couple of vacancies have become available within our Saturday set up ahead of the 25-26 season. You can find a brief summary of each below.
First Team
Our First team compete in Anglian Combination Division 3 (South). After 2 successive promotions, the team have consolidated their position. We're after a strong, ambitious, individual who will be able to assist in pushing us towards our targets. Our club foundations are strong; we have willing, pro-active committee, who will be able to leave you to concentrate solely on the on-field success of our flagship side. You will play a key role in our continued success.
Reserve Team
The newly formed Reserve side will be looking to compete in the North East Norfolk League. It aims to be a bridge between youth & football as we look to develop the next generation of Steamers. It will be vital for this person to be adaptable to the challenges of running a Reserve side, but could be an excellent first step in to management. We aim to have a clear pathway at FC Steamers and for many this will be their first foray in to Adult football; your ability to mould that experience will be paramount to the success of the side.
If you are interested in either of these positions, then please do get in touch by completing this form: https://forms.office.com/r/ZcR9NednDG
AGM
On Monday 1 July we held our Annual General Meeting (AGM) at one of our sponsors, The River Garden on Yarmouth Road.
A number of important matters were discussed which will impact the club as we move forward in to the 2024-25 Season. As well as all the formalities of adopting the various club policies, hearing the annual reports there was also news of a club restructure. This time last year we were a two-team adult club with a support structure that was fit for purpose, since the introduction of our Youth sides we've had to expand our volunteer workforce, and our new Club Structure reflects our recent expansion and will enable us to provide a robust management committee for the running of the club.
As well as the restructure, the clubs move to Colney Lane (UEA) was unamiously voted through and we're delighted to report that the Veterans will be joining us meaning that ALL of our teams playing on a Sunday will call Colney Lane their home.
