Staffordshire Surge vs Manchester Titans

GameDay 8
Welcome to our second gameday magazine and today we welcome the 6-2 Manchester Titans to Surge Field for what should be a great afternoon of American football. In our last game against Lincolnshire Bombers we were victorious 4214 in what was a very hot day with our bumper crowd which we hope to have again for the Titans game. Last time out against the Titans we lost 12-38 so hopefully we can get a little closer to our opponents today and get the W on the board. We had a huge success with our first game day magazine over 260+ views so we have decided to try another for todays game and then hopefully next season we will have a magazine for every game we play and who knows hopefully at some point we might one day have magazines available to purchase on game day, but for now we are still on the internet and we hope you enjoy our magazine and we welcome all feedback, details of how to get in touch with us are inside the magazine. A massive thank you to everyone who took the time to download the magazine and read it, means a lot to us.

Notes from the Editor By Shaun Rogers

So in the blistering heat we managed to notch up our second W of the season against the Lincolnshire Bombers in what proved to be a very good game. The Surge did not let the heat get to them and in the 2nd half after a well earned rest come straight out the blocks to secure the W on the board and take our season to 2-5. Today we welcome the 6-2 Manchester Titans to Surge Field in our last game at home for the season. I only started with the team this year and I assure you I will be counting the days down until the KO of the 2014 season. I hope you will all join me in saying what a good season it has been and that we are proud of every player who has worn the Surge jersey this season. Now the hard work begins getting a team for the 2014 season as well as getting a larger fan base to support the team. This team this year can not be faulted for there effort, commitment and determination that every player has shown threw out the campaign and I would personally like to congratulate every player who has put on a Surge uniform this season for a truly memorable first season following you guys and I look forward to seeing you all suit up ready for the 2014 season.

~~~~~ Notes from the Head Coach By John Farmiloe

When we first played the Titans seven weeks ago in Manchester we struggled in the first half but we made adjustments and were much more competitive for the rest of the game. That game could be a turning point for our season and today, which is our last home game, will be a good test to see how far we have progressed. The Surge first played the Titans ten years ago when the Titans made their league debut in the Northern Conference of Division 2. In the teams first encounter the Surge won 43 0 but the second game was much closer. The Surge finished third in the conference and quarterback Richard Large led the division in passing with 121 completions and 15 touchdowns. Ten years on and myself and Richard are still with the club. When we trained to prepare for this game I noted how our team has changed, even since last year. With so much new talent in the squad we are aiming for a strong finish to the season. Our next three games are against teams that are all in contention for a place in the playoffs and we look forward to the challenge of competing with them. Thanks for your support, Head Coach John Farmiloe

vs Lincolnshire Bombers

New to the Game.. Surge are here to Help !!

We dont want you sitting there on the sidelines today thinking what is going on, why do they keep stopping play ?, why are they all kneeling down ?, how many points do they get for that kick ?, why are they cheering him running into the large area at the end ? Yes these are all comments I have overheard in my time watching the Surge so lets hope we can help you out. In this issue we are going to look at how the Surge will line up on the pitch and the basics of the game. Positions
Offence QB - Quarterback RB - Running Back HB - Half Back FB - Full Back TE - Tight End WR - Wide Receiver OL - Offensive Linesman C - Centre Defence DL - Defensive Lineman LB - Line BackerDB - Defensive Back

In todays magazine we are going to focus on both the field of play and the officials.

So lets take to the field and find out what all the markings mean.

Each team must make 10 yards to get a 1st down, and must make the ball go past (even if its just the tip of the ball) the goalline to score a Touchdown. So what are the lines in the middle they are Hash marks and on the next page we learn more about the Yard Lines and the Hash Marks.

Yard lines Yard lines, at intervals of 5 yards, run parallel to the goal lines and are marked across the field from sideline to sideline. These lines stop 8 inches short of the 6-foot solid border in the NFL. Yard lines give players and fans an idea of how far a team must advance the ball in order to record a first down. As Chapter 3 explains in detail, an offensive team must gain 10 yards in order to post a first down. Consequently, every 10 yards, starting from the goal lines, the field is numbered in multiples of 10. In the NFL, the bottoms of these numbers are placed 12 yards from each sideline. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, and one 50-yard line are 2 yards in length. All these lines and numbers are white.

Hash marks Hash marks mark each yard line 70 feet, 9 inches from the sidelines in the NFL. Two sets of hash marks (each hash is 1 yard in length) run parallel to each other down the length of the field and are approximately 1812 feet apart. When the ball carrier is either tackled or pushed out of bounds, the officials return the ball in-bounds to the closest hash mark to where its spotted. Punted balls that go out of bounds are also marked on the nearest hash mark.

So hopefully now you have a better understanding of the field that the Surge will be taking to in the game against the Manchester Titans

The Officials
Now we all know that any sports game can not be played at a decent standard with out the men (or women) in the middle who officiate the game we are playing/watching. Sometimes we hate them sometimes we love them but either way they are an integral part of any sporting event and more so in the game of American football. Here we explain why there are so many out on the field and what there jobs are and what there arm movements are all about.

The officials lineup Referee The referee has general oversight and control of the game. Hes the final authority for the score, for the number of a down in case of a disagreement, and for all rule interpretations when a debate arises among the other officials. Although some players and coaches consider the referee a bad guy, hes the only official who wears a white hat. (All the other officials wear black hats.) The referee announces all penalties and confers with the offending teams captain, explaining the penalty. Before the snap of the ball, he positions himself in the offensive backfield, 10 to 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and favours the right side if the quarterback is righthanded (and, of course, the left side if the quarterback is left-handed). The referee also monitors any illegal hits on the quarterback, such as roughing the passer. He follows the quarterback throughout the game and watches for the legality of blocks made near him.

At the end of any down, the referee can request the head linesman and his assistants to bring the yardage chains onto the field to determine whether the ball has reached the necessary line for a new first down. The referee also notifies the head coach when any player is disqualified for unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and tells the coach on whom each penalty is called.

Umpire The umpire is responsible for the legality of the players equipment and for watching all play along the line of scrimmage, the division line between the offensive and defensive players. He makes sure that the offensive team has no more than 11 players on the field prior to the snap of the ball. At the start of a play, he positions himself 4 to 5 yards off the line of scrimmage on the defensive side of the ball. Consequently, if hes not quick on his feet, the umpire is the official most likely to be trampled by oncoming players, especially ball carriers running up the middle. Because hes responsible for monitoring the legality of all contact between the offensive and defensive linemen, this official calls most of the holding penalties. He also assists the referee on decisions involving possession of the ball in close proximity to the line of scrimmage. He records all timeouts, the winner of the coin toss, and all scores, and he makes sure that the offensive linemen dont move downfield illegally on pass plays. Finally, when its raining, the umpire dries the wet ball prior to the snap. Head linesman The head linesman sets up on the side of the field designated by the referee. He straddles the line of scrimmage and watches for encroachment, offside, illegal men downfield, and all the other line-of-scrimmage violations. Hes also responsible for ruling on all out of bounds plays to his side of the field. The linesman is responsible for the chain crew and grabs the chain when measuring for a first down. Hes usually the official who runs in after a play is whistled dead and places his foot to show where forward progress was made by the ball carrier at the end of the play.

Head linesman cont.. He assists the line judge (who stands opposite the head linesman) with illegal motion calls and any illegal shifts or movement by running backs and receivers to his side. Also, during kicks or passes, he checks for illegal use of hands, and he must know who the eligible receivers are prior to every play. Line judge The line judge lines up on the opposite side of the field from the head linesman and serves as an overall helper while being responsible for illegal motion and illegal shifts. He assists the head linesman with offside and encroachment calls. He assists the umpire with holding calls and watching for illegal use of hands on the end of the line, especially during kicks and pass plays. He assists the referee with calls regarding false starts and forward laterals behind the line of scrimmage. He also makes sure that the quarterback hasnt crossed the line of scrimmage prior to throwing a forward pass. On punts, he remains on the line of scrimmage to make sure that none of the ends move downfield prior to the ball being kicked. One of the line judges most important jobs is supervising the timing of the game. If the game clock becomes inoperative, he assumes the official timing on the field. He advises the referee when time has expired at the end of a period. In the NFL, the line judge signals the referee when two minutes remain in a half, stopping the clock for the twominute warning. So hopefully now you have learnt something new about the guys in the black and white today. Please respect them as without them playing there part the Surge would not be playing.

We have done a Q&A with a few of the Manchester Titans players to get there take on there team and there season and who you should look out for today. A word from the GM of the Manchester Titans Jon Homer
This year was really always going to be a transitional year for the team with a new management team and coaching staff coming in. Having said that were pleased with the majority of the performances on the field (still in the hunt for the playoffs) and were in a much more stable state behind the scenes with a new Sponsor in Manchester Printers and being involved in lots of PR events at Manchester City, the Rugby League World Cup, etc. Coach Dias is starting to put his mark on the team but its next year hes going to expect the team to really step up and play at the level he expects them to.

Best game you have played in for the Titans : I can't really give a specific game. I try my best in every game I play and would play for a lot longer than an hour if I got chance to.
