Conference South club Hayes & Yeading may only have three months to come up with £300,000 or face closure. They need this just to move into their partly built new home at Beaconsiield Road and another £1.2m to complete the structure of their main stand. The club ground shared at Woking and more recently at Maidenhead United.

Hayes and Yeading merged seven years ago and their new stadium on the site on Yeading’s old Warren ground is not fit for football. The Hayes ground at Church Road was sold to Barratt Homes in a multi-million pound deal in 2010. Cash flow issues with builders are holding up the completion of the new ground and fans are asking where the money has gone.
London suburbs can be a difficult basis for non-league football given the amount of Premiership and Football League games on offer in the capital and the absence of clear community identities in many areas.
