Not been on here for some time. But I return not in good times for us 
The club management & board held an open fans forum and below is the upshot of a upfront & frank meeting (quotes fromGetWestLondon):
So if any of you have any non-league contacts please put the word out that we need all the help we can get We the fans are trying to think of fundraising ideas from selling copies of Football Manager, creating a Hayes Fans lottery syndicate & I'm personally trying to organise a fundraising fans bike ride riding from our prospective home at Beaconsfield Road to our current home at York Road in Maidenhead.
So yeah very uncertain times
The club management & board held an open fans forum and below is the upshot of a upfront & frank meeting (quotes fromGetWestLondon):United need investment or might become extinct by the end of February 2015
Hayes & Yeading United fans are facing up to losing their football club in three months’ time unless significant investment can be secured.
Chairman Tony O’Driscoll last night held an open forum with supporters to discuss the future of the club at their proposed future home at Beaconsfield Road in Hayes.
Hayes & Yeading brought an end to their three-year groundshare with Woking this year and are now playing their Conference South home fixtures at Maidenhead United’s York Road.
In order to start playing football at their proposed new home, the Beaconsfield Road ground must first meet the National Ground Grading Category B standard.
Visible progress was made during the close-season, including brickwork on the interior of the main stand, but worked has now stalled.
Crippling fees of £1,500 a game to play at York Road are now putting the club at breaking point and it is understood that £300,000 is needed to get Hayes & Yeading back playing in the borough.
O’Driscoll admits the cash-strapped club cannot afford to fund the move as it stands but United are actively seeking investment to try and finance the build.
Novel ways of raising the money are also being trialled and H&Y are even selling copies of video game Football Manager 2015 at a knockdown £20 to help the cause.
Anyone interested can email academy@hyufc.com for further information.
Meanwhile, United manager Phil Babb, who also attended last night’s meeting with his assistant Tristan Lewis, has secured the signing of Southend striker Isaac Layne on loan until the end of December.
