Carlton Town FC will honour two dedicated players this weekend as they reach the milestone of 100 appearances for the club. The ceremony is set to take place at the Bill Stokeld Stadium on Stoke Lane in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, on Saturday 25 April 2026.
The two players will receive trophies and restaurant vouchers during a presentation in the club bar following the final league game of the season against Coventry Spinhx. The recognition for these long-serving squad members is supported by local sponsors, including Stuart Scott and Nottingham Express Carriers, along with an anonymous supporter.
This match is a pivotal moment for the club, as it marks the final chapter of a competitive season. The team, known as The Millers, remains in a battle for promotion to step 3 of the football pyramid. To secure the league title and automatic promotion, the club must win their match on Saturday while also relying on a loss for Anstey Nomads in their fixture against Wellingborough.
The club’s promotion push was kept alive last week after captain Niall Davie scored a dramatic injury-time equaliser during a match against Sutton Coldfield, despite the team playing with only ten men for much of the game following a red card for Niall Hylton. Should the club miss out on automatic promotion on Saturday, they will host a playoff semi-final at Stoke Lane on Tuesday 28 April against one of several potential opponents, including Belper Town, Coleshill, Racing Club Warwick, or Shepshed Dynamo.
