Hallam Crest

Hallam play in the Northern Counties East Premier Division, and founded in 1860 lay claim to being the World's SECOND Oldest Club. They have played at the same ground at Sandygate since formation, thus making it the World's Oldest Football Ground (although they have made some improvements over the last 143 years!).

Set on the outskirts of Sheffield in the "posher" side of town, the Countrymen have a fierce (but friendly) rivalry with Sheffield Club in the historic World's Oldest Derby, a fixture everyone should visit at least once. The locals here are very nice, although their crowds seldom hit three figures, and the facilities are top notch; a nice bar, plus a tea bar ouside, coupled with a very comfortable stand.

As for souvenirs, badges are available, ask for details at the gate.

Hallam Programme

Oh dear. Despite the nice people, the nice ground, the programme is rubbish. Simple as that.
For years they have had the sheep in wolf's clothing look, nice cover stuffed with adverts and a two page bit of team info, now I am led to believe they have dropped the cover. Shame really as a lot of people make a pilgrimage here and want something to take home with them.
