New Club Formation – The Tale of Gee Cross Football Club
It’s the 11thMarch 2014, entrepreneur and billionaire businessman Ken Wright has just watched his boyhood team, Hyde United, be comprehensively beaten 3-0 by fellow Football Conference Premier side Alfreton Town. A defeat which has finally relegated Hyde back to the Conference North after a 2 year stay.
Ken has decided enough is enough, he wants some success, some glory, some good times, but he has no intention of ploughing his money into Hyde, he is going to build his own new team within the town.
The season reaches its climax with Hyde only managing to record 1 win, 2-0 away at Welling United; they ultimately finish the season with a league record low of 10 points, some 34 points from safety.
It’s now 1stJuly 2015, 16 months have passed and the 24 players recruited for newly formed Gee Cross Football Club have reported for duty at their new 4,100 capacity Werneth Low football stadium.
