22/07/2022 - Brand New Seating Installed
Thanks for the efforts of a team of volunteers a section of our main stand now has brand new, red seating for supporters to relax and enjoy the game from on a matchday.
Those who were present at our last friendly against Belper Town might have seen (or sat on) the wooden planking in the main stand where the shiny seats have now been fully installed. The main stand has also been given a fresh coat of paint in recent weeks.
The improvement to the stand is just another step forward for the club who continue to tick boxes for ground grading towards an application for promotion to Step 6 of the non-league pyramid (NCEL) where local teams such as Worsbrough Bridge, Athersley Rec, and recently promoted Wakefield AFC currently ply their trade.
Photos and details of how the main stand has been developed since we started in 2018 can be found on our Recreation Ground page.

29/06/2022 - Free Junior Football Sessions This July
For three weeks in July the Club will be hosting free coaching sessions for children aged between 5 and 11 years old, down at the Recreation Ground. FA Qualified coaches will lead group sessions between 9:30am to 11:00am on Saturday 9th, 16th and 23rd July.
The sessions are completely free and children not currently registered with another club, and looking to potentially join one of our Junior teams, should attend one of the taster sessions.

Community Event - Aalish's 'RidetheTheme' Dream - Charity Race Night
Wombwell Town FC are hosting a charity race night on Saturday 7th May for Aalish's 'RidetheTheme' Dream.
The whole family is welcome to join in an evening of fun and racing where there will also be a raffle and a buffet included in your £5 ticket price. For more information on the event and to message for tickets please visit their Facebook page here. Tickets can also be purchased from the Clubhouse at the Recreation Ground via the bar.
About the charity:
Aalish Naylor was just six years old when she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. Aalish made it her goal to enjoy every moment as all children should be able to and lived for theme parks. Aalish was able to visit Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Lightwater Valley, Gullivers Kingdom, Flamingo Land and Disnelyland Paris (to name a few) and her charity has been set up to raise money for other children with neuroblastoma to have the same opportunity.
Aalish sadly lost her battle on Sunday 10th June 2018 at the age of eight. Mother Joanne and father Martin are determined to keep her memory alive and help other families going through the same battle. Around 1400 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma every year.
Before Covid hit, Aalish's 'RidetheTheme' Dream had held a number of events and are now looking to raise money once again.

WHAT IS NEUROBLASTOMA?
Words taken from www.neuroblastoma.org.uk
Neuroblastoma is a cancer that is almost always found in children. Childhood cancers are usually different from cancers affecting adults. They tend to happen in different parts of the body to adult cancers and behave differently. Cancers in children also respond differently to treatment.
Neuroblastoma is classified as an embryonal tumour, a type of cancer that develops from the cells left behind from a baby’s development in the womb. The cells from which it develops from are specific cells in the nervous system called neuroblasts, giving neuroblastoma its name:
‘neuro’ means nerve
‘blast’ means cells in an early stage of development
‘oma’ means a group of cells, or a tumour
The tumour occurs either in the sympathetic nervous system or closely associated adrenal glands and is usually, although not always, located in the abdomen.
