Southall Football Club

New grassroots club AFC Liverpool today announced Derek Boulding as their first manager. Derek's last management position was at Burscough FC.
AFC L will hold trials on Bank holiday Monday. Over four hundred players have applied to play for the team and all of them will be seen playing in one day.

Goodluck to AFC Liverpool for next season i will be interested to see how they do.

I hear AFC Wimbledon beat Staines 2 1 to win promotion to the Conference South!

I saw the result. Don't they have to play off?

teir website. You're right, they won over two legs in the play-off. Nice one AFC W.

Its funny you should ask that as i was talking to a fellow H&Y UTD supporter about the merger today at our reserve game.When the merger happend last summer i was shocked and upset and i did think about walking away from the club if im honest but i thought i would see how it goes and the fact we were going to play at Church road was a big factor coz as a ex Hayes supporter i love church road its a great old ground and we will be playing there next season (2008/09) which im very happy about.The plan is we will move into a brand new stadium at Yeadings old ground at the start of the 2009/10 season and i must admit it will be hard leaving church road.The new clubs supporters seem to be made up of mostly ex Hayes supporters and the fact that we are playing at church road means it still feels like im supporting Hayes FC really.

thanks for that,just another thing did some people walk away and support other clubs. Also how doyou feel about brook house changing their name to AFC Hayes.

I think a lot of Yeading supporters walked away after the merger and a few Hayes supporters walked away a lot of people have said it wasnt a merger it was a Hayes takeover and that would not surprise me.I wasnt happy with Brook House changing their name but i understand why they did because where is Brook House there is no place in Hayes called Brook House apart from a pub.

poorly supprted which is a shame as they have done well over the last couple of years. The name-change won't make a lot of difference but one thing to remember is they are at the same level Yeading were not so long ago.

Yeah AFC Hayes seem have 70 or so regular supporters!.All west london non league teams struggle to get supporters frew the gates these days. The people that now live in west london are less into going to watch their local teams play these days they aint interested in non league football.I think there will be a lot more west london non league football teams folding or merging over the next few years

thanks again terrace boy,ill have to try and get to a game at H & Y U
next season, is it a good atmosphere down there.

Yeah stand under the shed which is the large covered terrace along one side of the pitch thats where we sing our heads off!

we used to get into a game at half time at Church Road. There was and probably still is a large grassy area behind the terracing at one end. We used to have an impromtu kickabout for ten or fifteen minutes and then return to the game. It would have always been a Hayes v Southall game. I rarely went to Church Road for anything else.
