CLUB STATEMENT
The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star.
After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police.
Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated.
Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse.
The club considers the matter closed.

The FA wrote the rules of football in 1863.
The rules you actually play by?
A greenhouse. In Sheffield. 1858.
Two mates from the cricket club went for a walk one autumn afternoon. They wanted something to do when the cricket season ended.
So they started a football club. The first one on earth.
Their headquarters was a greenhouse. Their pitch was the field next to it. There was nobody else to play. So they split into married against singles.
Then they wrote rules. No hacking. No tripping. No holding. Free kicks. Throw-ins.
Corner kicks. The crossbar. Heading. Eleven players. Ninety minutes. Referees.
All Sheffield.
When they played London in 1866 and headed the ball, London laughed at them.
Nobody's laughing now.
In 1867 Sheffield hosted the world's first football competition. Four years before the FA Cup.
The trophy went missing for 130 years. A Scottish antiques dealer found it. Worth over £100,000 today.
When football turned professional, Sheffield refused. They chose the game over the money. And the game left them behind.
William Prest died at fifty-two. His gravestone was removed from the cemetery.
Nathaniel Creswick died in October 1917. Exactly sixty years after founding the club.
In 2004, FIFA gave Sheffield FC the Order of Merit. The only other club to receive it?
Real Madrid. Eighty thousand seats. One of the greatest clubs on earth.
Sheffield FC play in the ninth tier of English football. Two thousand seats.
Every corner kick. Every header. Every ninety minutes.
Two friends. One autumn walk. A greenhouse.
Sheffield started it all.
The beautiful game had humble beginnings. So do we. Your support keeps us on the pitch.
Be part of us.

Sheffield Wednesday’s players who’ve left in the last 6 months (including impending moves):
James Beadle, Josh Windass, Barry Bannan, Callum Paterson, Ben Hamer, Anthony Musaba, Djeidi Gassama, Shea Charles, Joey Phuthi, Pol Valentín, Marvin Johnson, Ibrahim Cissoko, Michael Ihiekwe, Akin Famewo, Michael Smith, Stuart Armstrong, Caelan Cadamarteri, Sam Reed, Ryo Hatsuse, Malik Wilks, Romario Collins, Ethan Horvath, Joe Lumley, Harry Amass, Sutura Kakay, Yisa Alao.
Players currently injured:
Pierce Charles, George Brown, Nathaniel Chalobah, Ernie Weaver, Max Lowe, Dominic Iorfa, Ike Ugbo, Sean Fusire, Dishon Bernard, Mackenzie Maltby, Guilherme Siqueira.
Players linked with moves away this month:
Yan Valery, Svante Ingelsson, Bailey Cadamarteri.
That’s up to 40 players who have either left, are about to leave, or are currently unavailable within a six-month period.
Take that many players out of any football club and don’t allow them to be replaced — the exact same thing happens.
Now add this:
• Danny Röhl and most of his backroom staff walked out in the summer
• The chairman left
• No CEO, no COO, no Director of Football
• Recruitment outsourced
But it’s fine apparently, because we’ve been “allowed” to bring in:
Liam Cooper
Nathan Redmond
Jaden Heskey
Murphy Cooper

@jakerowl1@bazzabannan25 My 10 year old daughter still talks of the day barry bannan nearly hit her with a shot in the warm up and offered a hand of apology with such joy. A genuinely sad day, this one has hit hard
