Hallam Football Club

As stated below I'm taking a break from the club. If anyone feels they can do what I can't for a year and make a good job of this website then I'll happily give someone the username & password.

Obviously I won't handover total control as I did create the site back in 2005 and still want a say in its progress. I believe for the good of this fine football club its needs a website.

If I don't get anyone wanting to run it I will attempt to myself next season but believe someone else can lend the time I can't.

Please email me if you want to run it from May 1st onwards with a view to longer term

Thanks TJ

This isn't a farewell to Hallam but just a note to say I am taking a 1 year out of this website. My GCSEs have taken their toll on me and for the past 5/6 months this coupled with no way to get to matches has crippled this website.

Next May I leave secondary school and with this an important next year or so so I see no point in running the website next year.

I am planning to study 6th form in Sheffield and will hopefully, touchwood will report for Hallam in the 2009/2010 season.

The domain name has 6 months left and I will renew this in November.

I apologise to all connected with the club for a regretable season for myself. I have said and done things that haven't particularly impressed people and I know that.

In other words this website will like this season next season. It will be updated infrequently and won't be upto scratch.

Next year won't be very productive for myself, either watching or playing local football but I hope I can gain a decent grade in my English GCSE so I can furfill my dream of reporting when I'm older.

Anyone who next season feels they can do a better job of the website than me can happily do so. Email me at tom_hallam_fc_website@hotmail.co.uk and I will pass over the username & password.

Should I return in 2009 I know I'll have done 2 in 4 seasons fully running this website.

The past 2 years has been superb, I can't praise Hallam Football Club enough for supporting me with the website. Hallam are a fantastic club and I hope I can attend my 100th game eventually, so far I'm stuck on 92.

I still feel a passion for this club, I've thought of leaving totally but I can't. I feel attached and something is saying try and carry on.

Should anyone want a question answering put a message in the guestbook or email me

Thanks Tom

This is the last next match preview for 1 season. Reasons why stated above.

Hallam despite a dip in form will finish inside the top 6 by the looks of things. Defeats to Glapwell & Parkgate don't come as a surprise, Glapwell seem to love playing us recently and Parkgate always have the habit of winning at Sandygate

Eccleshill have been on very inconsistent this season and have been beaten heavily several times, Hallam, Winterton and Armthorpe scoring big against them.

I hope for a positive end to this fine season. I have attended around 10 games all year and this has been understandable from my point of view.

Thanks Tom

Despite a 3-3 draw with Armthorpe Welfare Hallam can still achieve 20 wins in a season for the first time since 01/02 and beat the points total that season of 69.

Lets end with a bang and maybe a 30 goals a season striker, having already achieved 31 in League & Cup can Tev make it 30 in the league?

TJ

24 league goals now and 9 in the last 7 has made him 2nd highest scorer in the league 1 behind Rob Northen of Winterton Rangers

Including cup totals he still 2nd to Northen with 31 compared to Northen's 40.

With 3rd 6 and 7 behind in each respective category with just a handful of matches to play I should think he will stay in 2nd.

With Batesy its a 49 goal partnership League & Cup

Well Done

Hallam 0 Liversedge 0 - Wed 12th Mar

Selby Town 2 Hallam 2 - Sat 15th Mar - Tev 4, Batesy 68

Hallam 2 Long Eaton Utd 0 - Wed 19th Mar - Rob Cam 32, Batesy 41

Hallam 5 Mickleover 2 - Tev (2) 7 & 86, Knaggsy 34, Andrew Brownrigg 44, Rob Cam 45

Winterton 1 Hallam 1 (LC Semi Final) Winterton win 4-2 on pens, Carl Smith 10

Hallam 1 Brodsworth 3 - Tev 4

Arnold 0 Hallam 2 - Tev (2) 42 & 47

Hallam 3 Glasshoughton 1 - Tev (3) 20, 24 & 40

Hallam now sit proudly in 4th, Pickering Town in 5th with 4 games in hand and a point behind.

Hallam have 77 goals to add as well.

The old news has been mass deleted. I'm now left with these 4 articles. 2 latest ones and 2 important ones

Hallam 3-0 Pickering Town (another crushing win over them), Hallam 0-0 Liversedge, Selby Town 2-2 Hallam (no win at Flaxley Road in 11 years now), Hallam 2-0 Long Eaton United

It was 20 miles too far for Hallam to travel tonight, a side (whether strong or weakened) went to Dinnington Town and got comprehensively annihilated.

I can't comment on the game itself not being there but 8-0 did seem to be a bit of a wind-up after I'd heard it

You cannot defend an 8-0 defeat, its left me and probably many others with knowledge of the 2 clubs in shock.

Tom

Winterton beat Selby 5-0, Hallam beat Bottesford 2-0, Parkgate beat Glapwell 3-1, Barton Town Old Boys beat Lincoln MR 3-2.

Barton Town Old Boys v.s Parkgate

Winterton Rangers v.s Hallam

To be played on Monday 24th March (Easter Monday) 3:00pm

Saturday saw the 100,000th visitor to the site. Fantastic for myself and something many Level 9 clubs have not achieved. After 27 months, an average of 123 hits a day but I did have some 500+ hit days.
