After talks with Carlton Chairman Mick Garton and Manager Les Mcjannet, Tony Cox has been appointed to help rebuild the Club's Youth policy following the departure of many young players to Hucknall Town.

Cox has recently been doing some scouting for the club and his roll has now been made official as he joins Mcjannet's coaching staff.He has the job of rebuilding the club's youth set up after most of last years academy followed Daryl Claypole and Kev Randall to Hucknall Town. With many players who played reserve team football last season looking for a step up to the first team and making it clear they would move on if they didn't get one, it left reserve manager Ian White and the club in an impossible position as Chairman Mick Garton explained " In the perfect world the under 17's ,and 18's go into the academy, the best of the academy go up to the reserves and the best of the reserves push on into the first team but with all the changes down here, thats just not happended" explained Garton. " The academy players from last season pretty much to a man have followed Daryl and Kev to Hucknall Town, a number of reserves have asked for their forms to be cancelled on the basis they no longer want to play reserve football,it's a catch twenty two situation. Some of the lads are too good for the reserves but possibly not good enough for the first team and it has left Whitey and the Club in an impossible situation" continued the Carlton Chairman. " Whitey made clear to me where we are at as a club in terms of the reserves and the youth set up over the last 2 or 3 days and with the reserve fixtures due to kick off on August 14th at Radford, we have had to make desicive desicions.Tony Cox has come in and will run the reserves and start a rebuilding job."

Two Carlton friendlies have been arranged which Cox will take charge of, at home to wollaton on Wednesday 4th August and at home to Keyworth on Wednesday 11th August.

Carlton Town Manager Les Mcjannet made a double signing following the friendly with Bilborough Pelican by clinching the signings of Warren Hatfield and Nathan Watson.

The Carlton Town Manager continues to shape his squad and both Hatfield and Watson have impressed him.Hatfield has been with Gedling Miners before joining Hucknall but realised his chances at Watnall Road may have been limited and Mcjannet moved quickly to secure the strikers services.

Midfielder Watson has joined from Kirkby Town after spells with Long Eaton and Shirebrook.

Carlton Town have agreed terms with Arnold Town for the transfer of youngster Josh Thornton to Stoke Lane and have also agreed the sale of Anthony Griffiths to Hucknall Town we can exclusively reveal.

Carlton had already allowed Griffiths who is contracted to the millers to train and get involved at Hucknall although a formal deal was still to be tied up. We understand this has now been agreed after talks between Hucknall Chaimran Dave Gamble and Carlton Chairman Mick Garton while talks involving Garton and Arnold Chairman Roy Francis have been concluded with Josh Thornton's move to Carlton also being agreed.Thornton can play at either right back, wing back or right midfield and Carlton are believed to see him as the ideal replacement for the outgoing Griffiths.

Carlton Town start their season with a home fixture against Lincoln United on Saturday 21^st August and have a cracking Bank Holiday home fixture when they take on Rudi Funks Rainworth Miners Welfare.

The Rainworth fixture takes on extra intrigue as Les McJannet was first team coach at the Mansfield based club last season as they won promotion to the Unibond League.

After the home fixture with Lincoln United on Saturday 21^st August, Carlton travel to Belper on Tuesday 24^th August before taking on either Heanor or Borrowash in a preliminary FA Cup clash at Stoke Lane on Saturday 28^th August.

The chairman Mick Garton also told the meeting that announcements on further new signings and the reserve manager were imminent.

Carlton Town will face either Borrowash Victoria or Heanor Town in the FA Cup prelimanery round on Saturday 28th August.

Carlton have also been drawn at home to Grantham Town on Saturday 2nd October in the FA Trophy.

If Carlton can overcome Borrowash or Heanor they will play Grantham again, this time away from home in the 1st round of qualifying in the FA Cup.

In the FA Youth Cup, Carlton travel to Stamford and should they be successful they will play Les Mcjannet's old club Mansfield Town at home.

Henson who has been previously been involved at Heanor Town and Gedling Town told the Carlton Town Website "it is a fantastic oppurtunity and a brilliant step up for me and I'm really looking forward to working with Les and Clarkey, I'm delighted to be here, I have been made to feel welcome and hope I can contribute in helping the club move forward."

It is another step forward for the Club and Mcjannet and the Club is now in need of only a reserve manager to complete Mcjannet's staff.

Darren Chapman has taken charge of the academy team who will play in the NSL in the footsteps of Daryl Claypole and Kev Randall who have moved to Hucknall.Anyone wishing to be considered for the reserve job at Carlton should email the club at info@carltontownfc.co.uk for the attention of Les Mcjannet.

A score of 90 was needed to win Carlton Town's 6th annual golf day at oakmere Park and it was a team introduced by new manager Les Mcjannet who won the day.

Trent Concrete had won last year's event with a score of 86 but standards had improved in 2010 and all the top 3 came in above that.

Last year's champions were in attendance once again but were not among the prizes on this occasion.

Carlton Town President Roger Smith's team came in 3rd with an excellent score of 87 and event sponsors 6 degree events led by Craig Brothers scored 88 but the winners were first time entrants Bumble Bashers who hit 90 to take the first prize of 4 places in a corperate box at Nottingham Forest.The prizes were well shared out for nearest the pin with Roger Smith,Dean Salmo and Colin Joiner and Gary Skerritt both of Stoke Rochford among the prizes. Paul Shepard of Christie and Co won nearest the line, which was practically on the line.Carlton Town player Ashely Winfield who was representing Carlton's main sponsors MRS Newsgroup won the 1st prize in the raffle which was kindly sponsored by JMD Textiles whose Johnathon Noon was a previous winner of the golf day 5 years ago with his company.Carlton Town's Ian White was part of the payzone team and there was also representation from National Lottery Operators Camelot,Nottingham Forest FC and Rick Webster groundworks.

"The club raised over £1,000 which is vital towards the overall budget and it was good to see new manager Les and Club chairman Mick Garton in attendance even though the latter restricted himelf to an administrive role this time round,it was probably for the best" concluded the Club President Roger Smith.

8^TH AUGUST AGREED

Carlton Town have confirmed that a “Help for heroes” charity football match will go ahead on their ground at 3pm on Sunday 8^th August.

The game was originally set to be played on 15^th August but with Nottingham Forest’s opening home league game against Leeds moved to that day, "it would have proved untenable for the vets to go up against that fixture explained" Carlton Chairman Mick Garton.

"We spoke to the organizer from the Forest side of things and it was obviously not going to work on Sunday 15^th so it has been brought forward a week, I would like to thank forest ladies for their help with this, it really is a good cause and should be a cracking afternoon."

European Cup winner Gary Mills will be among the ex Forest players appearing along with two ex England stars Steve Hodge and Des Walker and goalkeeping hero Mark Crossley.

Admission on the day will be £4 adults and just £1 for kids.

NO ADMISSION PRICE INCREASES

Carlton Town chairman Mick Garton has confirmed that season ticket prices will be frozen for the 2010-2011 season.

The chairman also announced that match day admission prices would remain unchanged. "We are in for tough times with taxes likely to rise shortly and the cuts the government will be bringing in so the last thing we need to be doing in the current climate is increasing admission prices."

"Season tickets will remain at £7 for adults, £5 concessions and £3 for children."

"A rise in admission prices will not be on the agenda at the agm and supporters will have the advantage of being able to view the game from inside the clubhouse next season with the new wall to wall windows now installed overlooking the pitch" continued Garton.

Supporters wishing to renew or purchase season tickets can do by emailing the club at info@carltontownfc.co.uk or by telephoning the club during office hours on 0115 9581735.
