The Denny Ingram chapter begins on Saturday, for Bridlington Town, with an FA Trophy First Qualifying Round tie against Trafford FC at the Mounting Systems Stadium.
It comes after the departure of Adrian Costello by mutual consent, after a disappointing start to the season, including back-to-back 3-0 defeats against Belper Town and North Ferriby within the space of just three days.
Costello’s assistant Ingram now steps up to manage the club, who have picked up two points from the opening five games. Ingram has appointed Michael Coulson, who has scored the club’s only goal, as player-assistant manager, with Pete Davidson taking up a player-coach role.
There have been a couple of ingoings and outgoings between the Seasiders, Pickering Town and Beverley Town since the change in management. Nathan Dyer has signed from the Pikes, with George Harrison going the other way.
Former Bridlington Town fans favourite Danny Earl has resigned from Beverley to add some fire-power up front, whilst Eddie Birch joins Dave Ricardo’s side on dual registration.
Trafford compete in the Northern Premier League West Division, also at step four of non-league. They’ve had a completely different start to the campaign, sitting top of the table with 12 points after five games.
Their only league defeat came 1-0 against Bootle, who have also picked up 12 points. Trafford did, however, lose 3-0 against Northern Premier League East side Emley AFC in the FA Cup Preliminary Round.
It’s a vast improvement so far for Trafford to last season, where they finished 17th with 39 points. They were knocked out of last campaign’s FA Trophy in the 1st Qualifying Round, losing 2-1 at home against Stalybridge Celtic.
Similarly, Bridlington Town were knocked out of last season’s FA Trophy at the same stage, getting beaten 4-0 away from home against eventual Northern Premier League West Division playoff winners Prescot Cables.
