We will share any further updates when they become available.

We are delighted to share the news that manager Dean Nicholson and assistant Andy McBride have committed to remain at the Club. Discussions have been underway between the Club and the duo since promotion was secured to the Northern Premier League and all parties remain aligned on the vision for our Club.  Sustainable progress, teamwork and enjoyment will continue to be the values which drive what we do.

Dean and Andy have led a transformation of Heaton Stannington on the field over the last three seasons and we couldn’t be happier they want to continue to do so on the next stage of our journey. They have the full support of the Club Directors and no doubt our loyal supporters.

News regarding retained players and the pre-season friendly schedule will be shared soon!

We are extremely proud to announce that Heaton Stan has taken a further step towards promoting equality and eradicating discrimination by becoming a Kick It Out Equality Chartered Club. The Kick It Out campaign aligns with who we are, and we are determined to contribute to the fight against discrimination in football and beyond.

As we continue to progress and grow, we hereby make a commitment to embedding equality best practices in everything we do. We will work tirelessly to create an environment where discrimination is challenged, diversity is celebrated and everyone feels welcomed, included, valued and respected.

Discrimination has no place in football and has no place at Heaton Stan.

We have two volunteer roles we are looking to fill:

KIT PERSON

As of the end of this season, our esteemed kit man Adam Capper will be leaving the region for new adventures. We know this will be particularly sad news for many, no moreso than us! Whilst the consensus is he will be hard to replace, we must begin the task of testing out that theory!

We are therefore looking for someone to take on the role for next season. Duties involve:

• Washing football strips for the first team & reserve team (we have washing and drying facilities at the Club)
• Liaising with the secretary to pack the appropriate kit where the teams have an away game, or setting up the washed kit in the changing room where they have a home game
• At least one wash per team per week, sometimes two if we have a midweek game.

Optional additional duties if the person wishes/is able:

• Organisation of other kit/equipment for training and match days
• Transport kit to/from first team away fixtures and/or training sessions

All expenses are covered if someone takes on the optional additional duties (i.e. mileage costs) and we will organise/purchase all cleaning supplies needed.

MATCH DAY SHOPPER

This involves visiting a few local supermarkets to purchase supplies for Stan Scran and match day hospitality. The volunteer will be given a shopping list and a cash float.

• Visit stores on the day of a match (or the day prior if there is no danger of postponement) and purchase a shopping list of items
• Bring them to the ground and put away in Stan Scran

Mileage expenses covered.

These really are unsung hero kind of jobs, but ones that can be done behind the scenes and not interfere with ones ability to watch the game on a match day.

BOTH ROLES COME WITH A FREE SEASON TICKET

If you are interested please e-mail info@heatonstan.co.uk or DM us via social media.

We are delighted to share that we raised £700 for St Oswald’s Hospice at yesterdays match against Redcar Athletic.

Thank you everyone from both Clubs who donated to the bucket collection and to the players for their contributions. The Club topped up the final amount.

We are delighted to have been chosen by Tesco to participate in their Stronger Starts scheme. This gives us a chance of securing up to £1500 funding towards equipment for our Juniors teams.
