H.S.A.F.C

We are a children's football club for all children from U6's to U12's. All children get to play, regardless of ability. Our focus is fun and enjoying football⚽️

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Whilst the Coronavirus halts professional football matches, we keep playing, for now.

We’d love to offer the @Pompey players an invite to our presentation day if your short of something to do? It’s on 16th May and we’ll buy you a hot dog or veggie burger. 🙂

🙄 - there’s no emoji for someone with sloping shoulders? Maybe one of the Hayling Councillors will step in and prevent this farce? @HavantBorough or maybe the @BetterPlayUK @FootballGrf @England @EFLTrust @EFL @pomp https://t.co/GGYPwBqXD8

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

As previously discussed - you cut the parks that are under a mile away from each other in different ways. Your response galvanises the fact that it’s a revenue issue & you won’t cut it as it’s not a Sports Pitch. Children come together to play here - you refuse to help them! https://t.co/WrnuhzP0ro

@HavantBorough - 🤔🤭😳👌 https://t.co/dOQmmbl4NA

@HSA_FC I thought there was great concern about childrens’ obesity and they should be encouraged to be active. Well apparently it seems that isn’t the case if it means HBC have to take responsibility for cutting grass!!!! Have you ever heard anything so pathetic? Poor kids.

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Agree Taylor. The rule is ‘ it’s a Village Green so HBC don’t have to maintain it. The cricket pitches earn HBC revenue - Mengham Park doesn’t! I’ve battled for years. Now we pay someone to cut it from club funds. Then HBC turn up, ruin our hard work and leave. #poor #grassroots https://t.co/4E0XajtcLK

@HSA_FC @HavantBorough @GrassrootSoccer @_grassroots @England @EFFCharity Come on; surely common sense needs to prevail. Whatever SLA/lease you two currently have in place isn’t working. @HavantBorough we need to be giving our children the opportunities to ‘play’ - engagement & retention is part of your strategy!!

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Poor children suffering as they don’t bring in money for @HavantBorough!

This is an ongoing issue that isn’t seeming to resolve itself! @GrassrootSoccer @_grassroots #grassroots #investinyouth #WorldCup2018 #worldcup #englandfootball @England @EFFCharity https://t.co/lDijwuZG7H

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

It’s @HavantBorough Quiz Time!

This picture shows 2 different parks on Hayling. One brings in a tidy revenue for the council and one is used by a #grassroots football club that helps & develops young children in the community - Can you guess which is which? HBC - poor show!

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Poor! @savegrassroots @FootballGrf @BetterPlayUK #moneybeforekids https://t.co/TkfUb7WXNE

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

Here’s a game of #spotthedifference?
One park earns revenue for @HavantBorough & the other doesn’t. Can you guess which? If you guessed the cut grass - you’re right. Forget the kids that (try to) play football in the other park! It’s all about money (& hiding behind red tape)! 👏

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Very proud of the Mengham Park Contingent of Hayling St. Andrews who observed the 2 minutes silence impeccably.

Well done boys, girls, coaches and parents.

#LestWeForget

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

I’m a coach at the club & the discussion(s) have been ongoing for several years. There’re just excuses! Just cut the grass properly (please) https://t.co/VYRbd1VY9H

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

What a shock! Hiding behind the village green status! Maybe someone should just do the right thing and cut the grass? https://t.co/JMg48wVG23

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

How will the kids ever get a fair chance? It’s all about #revenue before the kids needs! @savegrassroots https://t.co/f1CcCC3wGe

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

We pay to have our pitches cut then council workers use substandard equipment & undo all the work! #halfajob @savegrassroots #poorkids https://t.co/kZJm4QdnBG

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

👏 @HavantBorough - you’ve managed to ruin another pitch! Better no job than half a job! Cut Mengham Park properly! @savegrassroots

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

It’s only ever excuses! No councillors on Hayling care either. No reason to get involved - no election/photo opportunity @savegrassroots https://t.co/bkikgSNkRv

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

Still no response from @HavantBorough ref the poor & inconsistent grass cutting at Mengham! Clearly money before the kids👍🏻! Very telling!

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

@AndyLenaghan @HavantBorough 2)We pay someone to cut ours & it’s now been destroyed by Havant Borough going over our cut pitches & leaving the grass cuttings!

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

@AndyLenaghan @HavantBorough 1) @HavantBorough refuse to cut the grass at Mengham at the same time as West Town & they just shred ours.

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Very sad that our kids have to play in this! Do a job properly!@HavantBorough https://t.co/UUbAIzssQY

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

More money wasted. Thanks @HavantBorough for ruining what we paid good money to maintain! Another poor job! Revenue before the kids! #values

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

7 reasons to keep the grass short @HavantBorough! No dog poo(none!) on the cut grass (which we did ourselves at a cost)! 7 bags on the uncut

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Invest in youth and you will reap the rewards. #grassroots @savegrassroots @PompeyNewsNow #hsafc https://t.co/X5PwgNakP0

He stands there and whilst most see an empty field, he sees #possibilities!#grassroots #hsafc @hsa_fc #blankcanvas

[H.S.A.F.C @HSA_FC]

Needs to be shorter, but a great start! Tractor was on the island again this morning, not with us though! 🙄 @PompeyNewsNow @portsmouthnews https://t.co/MnoRLnfP99

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

First picture is @HavantBorough's cut - Second picture is a paid cut from someone who cares. Thanks to Alex for your time! #investinyouth

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

I cannot even begin to understand how that massive contraption couldn't cope with a few tiny bumps in Mengham? #noexcuses #investinyouth https://t.co/3pNynsBpbD

[Andy Warner @andywarner88]

1)The tractor leave Hayling Park @ 11am (2)The beautifully manicured grass of Hayling Park (3)The grass left for the kids at Mengham Park!
