Re: Daniel idiakhoa

Both Daniel and Arnold scored for AFC yesterday. Anyone needing a footie fix when they can't get to a Hitchin match would find a visit to Creasey Park a good choice. Goals there are scored at both ends.......................... Such a shame that Daniel will be remembered by the fans for letting the ...

That Losing Habit

An unprecedented sequence of defeats means we no longer have any chance of reaching the play-offs, and opposing teams are chomping at the bit in their eagerness to add to our woes. There is a real chance of relegation unless the squad pull up their socks and battle to the magic 48 points. Even in ou...

Harry Raybould (Waders Reserves)

A query on our social media showing a picture of Biggleswade Town's team of about 1951 surprised me, as perhaps the only HTFC connections in the picture were of our ex trainer George Oldham, and Canary's legend Ken Lawrence. Whatever, the query related to Wader's reserve player Harry Raybould, whose...

Top Field 150?

On 15th November 1873 the Hertford Mercury reported that Hitchin FC drew 0-0 with Cambridge on Saturday 8th November 1873 'in the field opposite Mr W.Lucas's, on the Bedford Road'. Was this the first match played at Top Field by Hitchin FC?
