Gedling Welcome Back Playmaker
17th April, 2007
Gedling Town playmaker Paul Scullion is back to face Eastwood Town tonight in the Notts Senior Cup Semi Final at Coronation Park.
Club captain James Jepson said: "Scully is a great player and he has had a long road back from his shoulder injury that has kept him out of the game for two seasons.
"He is a bubbly character to say the least and we have missed that around the club.

Paul Scullion's previous clubs are Plymouth Argyle, Torquay United, St Mirren and Raith Rovers.

Hands Off Turner, Say Gedling
30th March, 2007
Gedling Town have had a second approach in the last six days from Buxton and Eastwood Town for former England under 19's star Matty Turner.
But, captain, James Jepson said: "Matty has decided to stay with us and we could not be happier.
"He is enjoying his football and got his 13th goal of the season at South Normanton Athletic last week.
"He has played at Nottingham Forest, West Bromwich Albion & two clubs in the Danish Premier division and this can only help the younger players around him."
In a further boost, Gedling Town have this week completed the signing of Martin Kearney from Stamford and Rick Ranshaw from Lincoln Moorlands.
Jepson said: "Kearns has played at Forest and Doncaster Rovers and is a great goalkeeper. He will give everybody a boost.
"Rick is a big, strong centre-forward with a great touch and an eye for goal. He is every centre-back's worst nightmare."
Jepson added: "Rennie is a top player and I hope to see him at Stoke Bardolph next season as he was a fan's favourite in his first spell with the club."
Rick and Martin will be unveiled to the Gedling fans and public at the Potcher's Pocket in Bilborough on the 2nd of April at 7pm.

Jepson Out For Season
19th January, 2007
Gedling Town's player-manager James Jepson has been told he cannot take to the pitch for the rest of the season.
The bad news comes after his leg buckled underneath him after just five minutes in Tuesday night's defeat at Borrowash Victoria.
A specialist has confirmed that he has damaged his cruciate ligament and he will undergo an MRI scan in seven days time to confirm the damage and will have the operation straight away.
Jepson said: "It is a big blow for me but these things happen in football and are part of the game.
"My phone hasn't stopped ringing with fans and friends ringing me up to give me support.
"I will now concentrate on managing and look forward to making my comeback as quick as possible."
Jepson also revealed two new signings, Jon Fountain and Craig Anderson.
Craig is a player who has been round the semi-professional leagues for some time and has a good background with Notts County, Leek Town and Hucknall Town.
Jepson said: "He has a great attitude and will help some of the younger members of the side."
Jon Fountain is another player with a good background having played at Grimsby Town, Wollaton FC, Rolls Royce Celtic & Gedling Town once before.
He will act as cover for first team keeper, Danny Welsh.
Jepson revealed: "That suits both parties as Jon is committed to his rock band, Jonny Fountain and the Pass Backs, and has agreed be understudy to Dan."
Also, Curtis Shaw has been released and is due to sign for Arnold Town.

Hands Off Warning From Gedling
8th January, 2007
Gedling Town boss James Jepson has said that the club's fitness coach is going nowhere.
Speaking to the Official NCEL website, he said: "I want to set the record straight as I have had approaches for Ally Stevenitt from Conference, UniBond and NCEL Premier sides to be their Fitness Coach.
"Part of the reason our recent form has been so good is because of how fit we are and Ally is partly the reason for that.
"There is not much loyalty in football anymore but, after declining all offers, Ally has decided to stay with us and I could not be happier."
Ally has an open evening on personal training this Thursday at The Lizard Lounge in Nottingham from 8:15pm.
Meanwhile, Jepson and his assistant Devon White have been busy recruiting new faces to Gedling Town.
Nathan Scott made his debut on Saturday against Hall Road Rangers and capped his first appearance with an excellent goal.
And, Michael Grinnion will make his debut this Saturday against Worsbrough Bridge.
Chairman Roland Ash said: "He looks a big, strong, old-fashioned forward and I am sure he will upset many a back line with his direct play.
"Gedling have many young players, the average age is now nineteen and two are now on full time contracts.
"The new fitness coach can now see that his hard work is paying dividends as the lads are now still strong at ninety minutes, which could win us many matches in the future.
"I just hope people will come and see this young side play and give them support."

Gedling Fear FA Backlash
17th December, 2006
Gedling Town are expecting to be severely punished by the FA following an outburst by manager Gary Hayward in their home FA Vase tie with West Auckland.
As reported on the official website last weekend, Hayward was sacked by the NCEL side immediately after last Saturday's 2-0 defeat.
Today's Non-League Paper reports that Hayward was sent from the dugout for remarks made to referee Peter Hobday during the game.
Assistant player-manager Matthew Turner was also dismissed for kicking the ball away a few minutes afterwards, and player Tom Hogg was also later shown a red card.
The paper says that chairman Roland Ash told Hayward he was sacked as he returned to the dressing room and asked him to leave the ground.
Instead, it is reported, Hayward went to the referee's dressing room and further abused the official, and was also involved in an exchange with West Auckland boss David Bayles in the bar.
Ash told the official NCEL website last week that "Gedling Town will be severely penalised by the Football Association following events that had led up to his dismissal."

Duo Sign For Gedling
30th July, 2006
Division One side Gedling Town have added two more players to their squad as their preparations gather pace for the new season.
18-year-old Dominic Jones is a former Wales U21 player and was quoted by his international manager Brian Flynn as "an exceptional talent".
He underlined his potential by scoring Gedling's goal in Saturday's 1-all draw against Shepshed Dynamo.
He's joined at the Riverside Ground by James Spears, a 17-year-old captured from local football.
Spears was recommended to the club by a local scout working for a Premiership side who says he has the ability to become a professional player.
Both players have been put on contract by managers Gary Hayward and Andy Freeman.
Another to have put pen-to-paper, meanwhile, is ex-Sheffield and Hallam player Lee Mellon, who impressed by scoring in the friendlies against Gresley Rovers and Buxton.
Meanwhile, club chairman Roland Ash hopes that the local public will show backing to their promotion challenge.
He told the NCEL Website that the club were disappointed that less than fifty spectators came to watch their match with Buxton last Tuesday.
He said: "We play good football that entertains the crowd and we use young local talent.
"Our ground is now possibly one of the best in the League following many recent improvements and our admission prices are possibly the lowest in the NCEL.
"We want the people of Gedling, Arnold and the surrounding areas to show that they really care and want to support local football."
