Hugely distressing scenes today that you never want to witness on a football pitch or anywhere, but fortunately some good news. Our player is stable and talking in hospital and his family are on the way.
Huge thanks and respect to AFC Dunstable, their physio Nikini, our physio Paige and
@alasann4
who performed CPR on the pitch. The Air Ambulance crew said that those guys and the fact our defibrillator was yards away on our bench have saved a life today.
And if it really needs saying, if you don’t have a defibrillator at your club, GET ONE!
Cost is irrelevant when they truly can and do save lives, both on and off the pitch 💙
After Saturday’s incident, Potchu now faces a period of not being able to return to his day job. He is a very proud, humble man but the reality is, he’s going to be without an income for a while. Please help where you can. 🙏🏼

for their cooperation with that.
🔥🔥🔥We have agreed a transfer with Ipswich Town for Max Hudson. After a series of eye-catching displays for us, we're delighted that Max has signed a professional contract. It's been a pleasure playing a part in his development and we wish him a successful career in the game.

Somehow - today’s game is a big fat ON!
It’s amazing what 3 blokes, a slitter and some pitchforks can achieve.

Following last nights virtual meeting with
@IsthmianLeague
we have decided to vote against the motion to extend the pause in the season to 9th January. We look forward to getting football back up & running in an enjoyable, safe environment.

@Ollie_Bayliss
Congratulations to our neighbours
@StevenageFC
on their fantastic result today.
But let’s be honest, not much of a shock. We’ve won more FA Cup games than
@astonvilla
in the last 10 years ⚽️🏆🤝
Welcome to Hertford Town, Adam Fisher. Adam joins as first team manager. And I hope you’ll all join me in welcoming and supporting him as he takes the helm 💙
We lost a really good cup tie against
@SevenoaksTownFC
on penalties today. £20 would get you entry and a couple of beers (which you can consume whilst watching) at either club. Spoke to a couple of ground hoppers who were singing the praises of both clubs. Think about non league.
Sky and BT have confirmed they will be charging £14.95 to stream Premier League games that aren't televised.
This will cover 3pm kick-offs and will come into effect as of next weekend.
The club is pleased to announce that
@charlieruff04
has been called up to represent the

Despite numerous pleas from the other big clubs, we will not be joining the A10 Super League.
The Hoddesdon derby TV dollars are not worth selling our souls for at the present time.
You can continue to watch us in person and for £8 (kids £1) in the near future 👍💙
Tough day today. Credit to
@BedfordTown
, they're up there for a reason. Spare a thought for the players, staff, volunteers of both clubs today. A game took place this afternoon when a North London derby a few miles away won't tomorrow. Given the resources, astonishing really.
WE NEED YOUR HELP 🙏🏼
On Friday night, a member of the public came to us in need of using our AED. We really hope this has saved a life 🙏🏼
However, it is yet to be returned…
Do you know the person in the photo? We hope for its safe return, so that it can help save more lives 🙏🏼
It was actually a few minutes ago. But first team Tweeter got injured in the absolute scenes. Blood everywhere. He’s being treated by our physio. 3-3 WE ARE STAYING UP!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
PLAYER UPDATE | We are very pleased to announce the signing of
@Lamz91_
for this coming season, a lot of Blues fans will remember him from the FA Cup games vs
@GraysAthleticFC
last season. Welcome to the club Lamar 🔵⚽️
#Blues
#WeAreHertfordTown
Hugely proud of our young Blues tonight 💙
They now have a fantastic opportunity to show what they can do, away to League 1 MK Dons in the First Round Proper of the FA Youth Cup in a couple of weeks time.
With immediate effect, the task of saving The Blues has been jointly taken up by Tommy Wade and Max Mitchell until the end of the season. With Tony Faulkner also coming in as head coach. We hope you’ll all join us in getting behind them on Saturday 👍💙
#YouHeardItHereFirst
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Honouray Life Vice President, Tony Parrott. Tony had supported the club since 1948, dedicating countless hours as a volunteer; the epitome of a true supporter of Hertford Town Football Club. He will be greatly missed
It's
@EmiratesFACup
on Saturday when we host
@RoystonTownFC
. Kick off 3pm, Adults £10, Concessions £5, Und 18's £1. The club will be donating its share of the gate to Potchu Mendes after his cardiac arrest in our last match. Please come and support the Blues and Potch if you can.
🚨Slightly belated new signing announcement but we're overjoyed to have striker Dontai Stewart on board for the season ahead. Here he is with a trademark acrobatic celebration from one of the four goals he's already netted in two appearances. Welcome to the Blues

Congratulations to Billy Mardell-Smith who picked up both the Players Player of the Year award and Young Player of the Season trophies last night. Making his debut at just 16,
@billyms_8
had a great first season with us with a series of impressive displays.
It's alright. It's really alright. Blues run out 4-1 winners in East 17 against a Stow side many are tipping for the play offs and even a tilt at the title. A good night's work.
TOMMY WADE (Striker)
After playing over 213 games for the club
@Tommy_Wade1
is going to pastures new with
@GraysAthleticFC

Tommy scored 83 goals in his time with "The Blues". From the committee, staff & fans, we would like to thank and wish Tommy all the best for the future.
Off the back of the UK Government announcement today we are more hopeful than ever that

Whilst it was great to recognise the achievements of our players last night, the finest performances on a pitch last season came from our physio
@PaigeSimms
,
@alasann4
, and
@afcdunstable
physio Nikki after Potchu's scare back in August. Huge thanks again to all involved that day.
Huge signing down at the Park. Messi is a bit old and Grealish demanded Champions League football. We have however agreed terms for proper paper matchday programmes for the season ahead.
Breaking News: Following an EGM, Hertford Town FC have appointed Alex Ward as Chairman of the club with immediate effect. We would like to thank outgoing Chairman Peter Sinclair for his tireless work and devotion to HTFC across a number of seasons. Full story to follow.
As one leaves us for the
@EFL
, one arrives. Ronnie Sandford joins us on loan from MK Dons for the season ahead. Interest was high in Ronnie so we're delighted to be able to get him on board. Welcome to the club

Cup 17/18, his name has been added to the the FA "Ball for ALL"
Let there be light!!!
Last season we just about scraped through the lux test. This evening we clocked 339. That’s enough to see us through until League 2. I don’t want to sound too pessimistic, but I think we’re safe for a while 👍💡💡💡💡
🚨 Here's one you've been waiting for. Last season's player of the year puts pen to paper again. Much to the delight of us, and less so opposition full backs, David Ogbonna returns to Hertingfordbury Park. Welcome back Obi.
✍️✍️STYLIANDES SIGNS ✍️✍️
We are delighted to announces that forward Zenon Styliandes has signed for the Blues. You may recognise the name, Zenon bagged an impressive 22 league goals for FC Romania last term and was one of the top marksmen in the division. Welcome aboard Zenon.
Another superb shot by

It would make a great back drop for club Christmas cards. It's less of a good back drop for a home fixture on Saturday..... Stay tuned for the latest updates. ❄️❄️❄️
Congratulations to our youngsters who notched up a 10-0 win in the FA Youth Cup tonight. Definitely some players to watch there. You might even see one or two in our
@EmiratesFACup
squad on Saturday.
