Back at Hartsdown Park & All Change

In August 2005, Margate returned to Hartsdown Park after three years in the wilderness. An indifferent season saw Margate once again flirting with the threat of relegation. Long-serving managerial pairing Chris Kinnear and assistant Kevin Raine were suspended and told that their jobs were to be advertised after a disastrous run of form in Spring. Physio John Griffin and kit-man Kevin Martin walked out because of the decision.

 

Player/Manager Robin Trott was placed in temporary charge in April 2006 and after an unbeaten five game run was given a 1 year contract after the final game of the season at the end of April.

 

Trott had an excellent 2006/2007 Season guiding the club along with his mostly amateur team winning the Isthmian League Premier Division and gaining promotion to the Conference South. Unfortunately Trott and the then current chairman (Josh Holmes) were unable to agree terms on a new contract (considering Trott's ability to get the team promoted) especially as the board wanted to move the team towards a semi-professional club after several years at amateur status but were not willing to provide any investment.

 

As a result Trott left Margate a new manager was required, the man they brought in was an unknown manager from the local area, had previously played at a Isthmian League Division One level though since retiring had a reputation of being a good coach and could well step up to take a role in management.

 

June 20th 2007. A new season in English football is just on the horizon, new manager Mark Nash was unveiled to the half dozen fans and the amateur squad.

Did Kinnear shoot JR?

 

The truth is out there...

Well they got the first bit right!

I don't want to spoil anybody's fun but I suspect the site that's come from is linked to the PC game Football Manager - sounds like somebody's story of their season playing the game.
