CANVEY ISLAND FOOTBALL BUGLE - WELCOME BLUE SQUARE PREMIER LEAGUE!

CommunityRadioCartoon.gif


Good evening to everyone,this is Tarry Garrity in your favorite radio show.Last couple of days we were all celebrating an amazing success that our lads from Canvey Island FC brought from playoffs Final in Stevenage,so tonight you have a chance to hear a final word from them before approaching Blue Square Premier League.Our guests are play-off hero Mike Finley,season's best player John Bradley,our amazing captain John Brackstone and,of course,the man behind all this,Montenegrin manager,Nikola Kelovic.I would like to set up first question to our skipper,John.Tell us John,what is it feel to be the captain of this team after all of that you've done?

John: -It's simply amazing because no one expected from us do this.But I firmly believed in this team,so I have the most reasons to be proud of this enormous success.

Kelovic: -John has the spirit that gave us valuable motivation.He is the leader on the pitch and that's why he's our skipper.

My next question goes to all of you.Do you think this promotion is deserved,as some people are still declaring Canvey had crazy luck in the playoffs?

Kelovic: -It's fully deserved,because we deserved that luck,too.In some of the last games we were hardly damaged by the referees,those were the moments when luck just turned back to us.

Bradley: -Yeah,in that situations the team spirit can really be shaked,but we managed to pull ourselves up from that and battle for playoff spot.

John: -Those were the hardest days for us,but I'm still saying that sometimes you have a good luck and sometimes the bad one.It's the balance that must be satisfied,so I believed it will all came back to us in final games.

Mike: -Especially me,I was totally down.After getting that more than suspicious red card,I was depressed,but somehow my team-mates and my manager managed to bring my motivation back.When I scored that goal at Chelmsford,I just knew my career was back in track.

We can just leave all of this back and turn to Blue Square Premier League.What do you expect from the next season?Promotion,mid-table or battling for relegation?

Kelovic: -It is still early to talk about it,but this time I really think we don't have the necessary quality to battle for promotion.Our financies are bad,so we can't bring too many quality players.We must stick up to this team,our young players,and our way of approaching the game.If we do that,we should stay clear of relegation.But,promotion...it's pretty far...

Mike: -I think gaffer is too modest.We can do anything if we play our game.

John: No,actually,Gaffer is right.We mustn't be greedy,because no one planned this promotion either.Maybe luck will change the way and turn it's back to us.The most important is to stay in BSP as long as we can.

Now one question for our manager.Who is staying at Canvey,and who is leaving?

Kelovic: -The half of the team stays,the other half is leaving.Some of our players are simply not good enough to play at the upper level,so we must say good-bye to them,as they are just taking the money and not giving anything back.You will see on tomorrow conference.

But,ok,we got 2 victories at home in these 5 matches plus one point from Ebsfleet :) Good for a team that is battling for staying up :D ;)

JOHN BATCH : KELOVIC,RIGHT MAN FOR THIS JOB!

JOHN_BATCH%20(300%20x%20386).jpg


Canvey Island FC director,John Batch,have told the local newspapers that Nikola Kelovic is the right man to lead Canvey Island on the road of victories:

-We knew Nikola will be the best choice for our club.We trusted him,and he gave it all back to us with victories and good games.Canvey Island got promoted twice in a row,which is an amazing success.We sure owe him a lot.

John revealed that Kelovic was the only unexperienced one they could choose from:

-We had a choice of three men,three great and talented managers,but we decided to choose Nikola,because he had something to prove,as same as our club.Through the months,we are proving together that Canvey Island is growing into a football giant,and we hope one day we'll be a Europen giant,that is our dream.

Batch states he is not affraid of losing his manager,as some medias are speculating that Wycombe Wanderers want to sign Kelovic:

-Nikola got a chance of his life,he is loyal to Canvey,as he stated so many times,so I'm sure we aren't going to lose him in a years to come...but,one day...who knows?
