@MTDavis91
No, you are correct, we arenโt the dogs b*****ks of football, we are a volunteer run club playing in the Toolstation Premier League. But looking at your profile pic you arenโt exactly the dogs b*****ks of haircuts.
Many many thanks to
@BrentfordFC
for donating seats from Griffin Park to
@HallenFC
and thanks to the 6 volunteers that made the trip today to take them out and bring them to Bristol. Also thanks to
@JohnMoir19
for helping arranging. โฝ๏ธ
To the absolute vile human that today drove over our junior pitch and smashed the junior goals up, hopefully bad things will happen to you. Hopefully we find out who you are.
A sad day for us as unfortunately Richard Nelmes has sadly passed away. Such a big part of Hallen AFC both as a player & later as a junior manager with all three of his boys then playing for us.
He will be massively missed & our thoughts are with Sarah & the boys.
RIP NELMER ๐โฝ๏ธ
It is with utter devastation and numbness that we report that Dave Cains passed away this morning.
Our wonderful physio over the years and kit man will be missed by all at Hallen AFC and our thoughts are with Daves family at this sad time.
RIP Dave ๐
Absolutely numb, canโt believe it.
Darren Butt, the one and only โButtyโ has now been taken from us.
Player, Reserve Manager but more importantly friend.
Just no words.
RIP Butty ๐๐
Many thanks to the asshole that couldnโt be bothered to wait for the club to be open today to collect their car that THEY left here from the charity day on Sunday.
So instead cut the padlock off of our main gate and have now cost the club ยฃ50 to replace.
Absolute dickhead.
Congratulations to Hallen AFC legend Andy Hicks who tonight at our club presentation became only the 5th person in our 73 year history to be awarded Life Membership of the club. Fantastic clubman and well deserved.
Now the dust has settled from yesterdayโs game v
@BristolCity
We would like to thank them, the
@BCCommTrust
& everyone who attended and making it a special day for us.
But more importantly all the volunteers who helped out on the day, leading up to it & will continue after it.
Been asked if we are setting up a go fund me page. We wonโt be.
We are struggling financially with the lack of football & use of our club but we just want your physical support when we get back playing.
Interested if clubs that are doing this have playing budgets next season.
This is a fantastic video from Africa showing the kits we donated from
@HallenFC
.
Please watch and share.

All at Hallen AFC would like to give their condolences to family and friends of former Hallen AFC Junior player Bradley Lewis who has tragically lost his life a couple of days ago. Bradley was part of a fantastically successful Hallen team. Our thoughts are of him at this time ๐
With great sadness we report that Pat who was taken ill at our game against Cribbs has passed away

@CadburyHeathFC

So
@OliverDowden
Just to clarify.
Tomorrow we can get our eyebrows threaded, go to an indoor soft play area & then a cinema.
Then to an indoor concert and then the pub.
But not an outside football match with a few people social distancing.
This is an absolute farce
#LetFansIn
BEECHAM RETURNS !
We are pleased to announce our new 1st team management.
Tony Beecham joins Dean Horseman as his assistant.
Tom Collett also becomes 1st team coach to complete the team.
This new line up will start straight away ready for our League Cup Semi Final in May UTH โฝ๏ธ
Terribly sad news that ex Hallen player Craig Stewart died yesterday.
Our thoughts are with his family, especially his dad Jewson at this sad time.
RIP Craig โฝ๏ธ
Many thanks to the volunteers that have popped up from nowhere this afternoon to get the pitch the best it can be for tonightโs game.

@HellenicLeague
Happy Birthday to Mr Hallen A.F.C. !!!
Without this man who knows where the club would be. What he has done for us cannot be explained in words.
Frank Fairman is 70 today ๐ ๐
Welcome to the weekend where the below picture is happening just down the road from us now......
But donโt watch a football match with a handful of people around a pitch social distancing.
Absolute joke....
Clean changing rooms, clean toilets, roll and spike pitches, sort out stock for the bar, put petrol in the minibus, sort out kits and warm up tops and balls.
Weโve had confirmation that
@LeeJohnsonCoach
will be bringing his 1st team
@BristolCity
squad on Saturday at our game
The game will be 3 periods of 30mins and we are informed that the new Bristol City kits will be on show.
Still time to get your tickets or you can pay the gate.
It is with more sadness that we report that our wonderful kit man and club stalwart Dave Cains was taken seriously ill yesterday.
Everyone thoughts are with you Dave, keep fighting ๐๐ป๐
Itโs now looking like this !!!
A Covid friendly area/stand ready for when we are back playing properly. Thanks again for all the volunteers who continually give up their time ๐โฝ๏ธ๐ (2)
An impeccable minutes silence at Hallen today for Butty ๐
Massive thanks to our reserves opponents Shire Res and also Brentry Ath and Valhalla who also joined us you pay their respects.

Lots of hard work recently turning out old refreshments hut into a smart looking enclosure. This will help with Covid restrictions when we can reopen and a great standing area to watch some football. Not finished yet but fantastic work by all involved ๐โฝ๏ธ UTH

Welcome to Hallen AFC
Troy Simpson
@TroySimps11
Troy is a great signing for the club and we are really pleased he has agreed to come to the club.
To the selfish people (you know who you are)....there might be a
#LockdownEnd
when you start complying & staying home. The faster you realise this, the faster this might be over. Thinking youโre exempt & moaning about something youโre not taking part in wonโt change the results.
Everyone at Hallen AFC would like to wish our 1st team manager
@stu24jones
and
@Kategoodson79
all the very best wishes for their wedding tomorrow.
Hope you both have a fantastic day ๐ ๐ ๐คตโโ๏ธ ๐ฐโโ๏ธ
We are sorry to hear of the passing of Charlie Baldwin.
Charlie was an ex manager, player and committee member throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Our thoughts are with Jen, Nick and Shaun at this sad time.
At todayโs home game v
@ClevedonTownFC
we will be having a minutes silence and wearing black armbands in remembrance of both Darren Butt ๐and Dave Caines ๐

You moaned about plastic cutlery, the fact our pitch side bar was a portakabin, that burgers, pasties and pies werenโt decent enough food, you moaned about anything and everything. We are surprised you didnโt call the Met Office & moan about the wind. Go watch premier league
We are also pleased to announce that we will be starting an additional side next season and will again have a 3rd team.
Our new A team will be managed by ex 1st team captain
@Scotty_Tups
and the club wishes him well when we can get going again.
