ANDYSMANCLUB is a free peer-to-peer group that provides a place for men to come together in a safe and open environment to talk about the issues or problems that they have faced or are currently facing.
ANDYSMANCLUBs meet every Monday at 7pm (excluding Bank Holiday Mondays).
The process is about bringing men together who have been in similar situations, to help each other on a peer to peer basis, sharing how they have dealt with various situations through lived experiences. No matter how big or small your problem feels, we are here to support each other. The 5 questions that are asked each week are designed not only to encourage men to talk, but to start to focus on the positives and on strategies to keep moving forward. There is no pressure to answer any of the questions and it is not uncommon for men to just listen for the first few sessions.
The clubs all run on the same format and adhere to the same guidelines. A key principle of ANDYSMANCLUB is anything that is said in the club, stays within the club.
The club is open to any man 18 or over, who is going through a storm, been through a storm or just wants to meet a good group of people with the aim of improving one another.
ANDYSMANCLUB has over 100 locations across the UK. Check our website below for a full list.

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him.
Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms!
SCD is the leading cause of death in young athletes during sport and the majority of deaths occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history.
ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to 5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR.
Warning signs may include light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, swollen legs, breathlessness.
Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die from previously undiagnosed heart conditions.
In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 89%.
The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of SCD and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sporting teams.
Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people are identified and treated.
Last Saturday’s win against Liversedge was a massive result for us, and I couldn’t be prouder of the lads for their performance. We knew how important that game was, and the way the players battled from start to finish showed the character and determination we have in this squad. It was a well-deserved victory, and to see the hard work on the training ground pay off was brilliant. Moments like that can define a season, and we need to use that momentum as we go forward.
Today, we have another big challenge against Consett AFC, and we know we’ll need to be at our best again. They are a strong side with quality in their ranks, but we’ve shown that we can compete with anyone when we apply ourselves properly. Consistency is key at this stage of the season, and following up last weekend’s result with another positive performance today would be a huge boost. The squad is fully focused, and the belief in the dressing room is stronger than ever.
We all know the situation we’re in, and we’re fighting to secure our place in this league against the odds. The lads are giving everything in every game, and that’s all I can ask for. There’s still a long way to go, but we’re taking things one game at a time, and every point we pick up is crucial. The determination and spirit in this group give me confidence that we can keep pushing and get the results we need.
Finally, I want to thank you, the fans, for your incredible support. Your backing makes a real difference, and the atmosphere you create gives the players that extra lift when they need it most. We’ll need you again today, so get behind the lads, and let’s make this another memorable performance together. Enjoy the game!
Early Football.
Versions of football evolved in many early civilisations, example of these can be found in ancient China, Greece and Rome. In England the original games were played between villages in fields and streets. This ‘Mob Football’ involved hundreds of players and was little more than prolonged and violent street battles.
In the 19th century a more refined version of the game grew in popularity within the public schools and universities, each playing to their own sets of rules.
During the 1850s the enthusiasm and influence of ex-public school and university students spread the popularity of the game around Sheffield. In the summer of 1857 William Prest and Nathaniel Creswick agreed that the game would be a splendid candidate for organised sport during the winter months. The pair wrote
to the Public Schools for information, regarding their varying rules, with the aim of drawing up a set of laws embodying the best points from each. On October 24th, 1857, the world’s first football club was born in a greenhouse. Among the first rules drawn up were laws asserting that “no hacking or tripping up is fair under any circumstances”, “no player may be held or pulled over” and “it is not lawful to take the ball off the ground [using hands]”. Upon the formation of the Football Association in 1863, Sheffield Club’s insistence on these laws helped lead the evolution of the game we recognise globally today. Heading, crossbars, corner kicks, free-kicks for fouls, throw-ins, a half-time change of ends and floodlit matches can all be traced to the innovators of Sheffield F.C.
Initially early matches, such as Married men v Unmarried, were played between club members. Records also show games against local army sides. Following victory over the 58th
Army Regiment in 1860 a local report stated that, “most of the officers were adepts at the game, having, in their younger days, played in the public school matches, and the victory of the civilians was quite unexpected.” Following the birth of Hallam F.C., the world’s first inter-club game took place on Boxing Day in 1860. The match “was conducted with good temper and in a friendly spirit”, concluding in a 2-0 win for Sheffield. For several years all matches were played locally, against a rising number of new sides, before the first ‘out of town’ match was played in Nottinghamshire in 1865. In 1866 Sheffield became the first non- London side to play under FA Laws when they met London at Battersea Park. The FA Cup was founded in 1871 and in its third season Sheffield became the first northern side to take part and the first nonLondon side to win a tie. They succeeded in reaching the quarter finals in this and two further seasons also, 1876 and 1878, the club’s support helping the FA Cup nearly treble in size
and become a nationwide competition. 1872 saw the first international game, between England and Scotland in Glasgow, with Sheffield’s Charles Clegg playing for the England side. Clegg would later go on to be Chairman, and President, of the FA and receive a knighthood for his services to the game. From the 1880s onwards the rise of professionalism and Sheffield Club’s firm insistence on retaining their amateur status saw them overtaken and overshadowed by other sides in the area. During these years the very survival of the club owed much to the leadership of former players Harry Chambers and Harry Broughton Willey. It wasn’t all doom and gloom though! In fact Sheffield enjoyed possibly their greatest hour in 1904 when they won the Amateur Cup, beating Ealing 3-1 at Valley Parade, Bradford.
1949 brought admission to the Yorkshire League and a resurgence, which saw the side promoted to Division 1 in their third season and reach the League Cup final in 1953. In 1957 they celebrated their Centenary year and reached their first Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup final in 1962. After a period of yo-yoing between divisions the 1977 side were crowned Division
2 Champions and reached that season’s FA Vase final at Wembley. They established themselves as a top division side in the Yorkshire League, lifting the League Cup in 1978, before joining the newly founded Northern Counties East League in 1982.
The Division 1 title was won in both 1989 and 1991 and a first Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup win came in 1994. In 2001 the club acquired a permanent ground, for the first time, when moving to its current home. After the turn of the century the side began to consistently challenge for promotion, also winning the League Cup and Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup twice apiece. The 2006/07 season ended with a 2nd place finish and promotion to the Northern Premier League.
Club made an instant impact in reaching the 2008 play-off final, narrowly losing only on penalties. That first season also saw games against Inter Milan and Ajax at Bramall Lane, as part of the 150th birthday celebrations. The side have reached the NPL play-offs a further 3 times in addition to lifting the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup in 2008 and 2010.

RYAN MCKINNON
THE CLUB CAPTAIN AND A KEY LEADER ON THE PITCH, MCKINNON HAS VAST EXPERIENCE WITH OVER 200 APPEARANCES FOR CONSETT. HIS PHYSICAL PRESENCE, DEFENSIVE RELIABILITY, AND HISTORY OF SUCCESS, INCLUDING HELPING TOW LAW TOWN AND ASHINGTON TO PROMOTION, MAKE HIM A VITAL PART OF THE SQUAD.
JAKE ORRELL
LAST SEASON’S PLAYER OF THE YEAR, ORRELL BRINGS CREATIVITY AND EXPERIENCE FROM SPELLS AT SUNDERLAND ACADEMY, GATESHEAD, AND CHESTERFIELD. HE WAS CRUCIAL IN CONSETT’S FA VASE FINAL RUN AND REMAINS A KEY FIGURE IN MIDFIELD.
THE CLUB’S TOP SCORER WITH 13 GOALS, HOLDSWORTH HAS PROVEN TO BE A CONSISTENT GOAL THREAT SINCE JOINING FROM BISHOP AUCKLAND. HIS EXPERIENCE ACROSS MULTIPLE NORTHERN LEAGUE SIDES, ALONG WITH HIS ABILITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN BIG GAMES, MAKES HIM ONE OF CONSETT’S MOST DANGEROUS ATTACKING PLAYERS.
Consett AFC enters the 202425 season—its 125th anniversary year—determined to build on the foundations of recent years. After finishing 13th and 12th in their first two seasons at Step 4, they started last season strongly, mounting a promotion playoff challenge before fading in the latter half. Now, with fresh leadership, they aim to push further and make this milestone year one to remember.
The club is under the steady guidance of chairman Frank Bell, now in his 11th year, and new manager Jason Miller, who steps in with ambitious plans. Alongside improving their league standing, Consett is focused on enhancing their stadium and facilities. They secured their place in the Northern Premier League in May 2022 with a hard-fought 2-1 victory at higher-ranked Histon in an inter-step playoff, with academy product Dan Marriott scoring the decisive goal.
Like many non-league clubs, Consett suffered setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with two seasons declared void or curtailed. Their bestever FA Vase run was particularly affected, with the semi-final postponed until September 2020 and the final delayed almost a year. They finally played at Wembley on May 3, 2021, in a surreal atmosphere with no fans. Despite taking the lead twice through Ali Alshabeeb and Dale Pearson, they were ultimately edged out 3-2 by Northern League rivals Hebburn Town, leaving them with heartbreak but immense pride in their achievement.
The 2021-22 season saw Consett achieve their longterm goal of promotion. They led the Northern League for most of the campaign, overcoming a mid-season managerial change. However, a difficult run-in, hampered by injuries, saw them lose momentum and finish second to North Shields. This meant
they had to secure promotion the hard way via the play-offs, a testament to their resilience. Their rise was built on solid foundations laid over the years, particularly by former manager Kenny Lindoe, who guided the club from relegation struggles to being one of the most entertaining teams in the league.
A major turning point came in 2013 when Consett moved from their historic Belle Vue Park home of 63 years to the modern Belle View Stadium. The £3 million facility, featuring a state-of-the-art 3G pitch, was built in partnership with Durham County Council. The opening match saw Newcastle United’s reserve side, led by Peter Beardsley, play in front of a crowd of 2,954, with Consett-born FIFA referee Mark Clattenburg officiating. Although the first season at the new ground was one of consolidation, the club steadily grew under Bell’s leadership, laying the
groundwork for future success.
In recent years, Consett has seen several managerial changes, each bringing new challenges and progress. Chris Moore led them to a strong fourth-place finish before departing for Sunderland’s academy. His successor, Terry Mitchell, guided the team to Wembley for the FA Vase final but was later poached by Blyth Spartans. Andy Coyles then took charge and secured promotion to Step 4 via the play-offs. Tony Fawcett led the team to respectable 13th and 12th-place finishes, but a disappointing second half of last season, followed by a poor start to this campaign, led to his resignation. Now, under new management, Consett is looking to the future, determined to keep climbing the non-league ladder.
A brilliant strike from Stephen Brogan gave Sheffield FC a crucial 2-1 victory over Liversedge on Saturday at Quaker Lane, providing three valuable points in the relegation battle.
Sheffield started strong, with Brandon Webster testing Liversedge keeper Zac Hadi early. After a parried cross, Cameron Bedford's volley was saved by Hadi. The visitors broke the deadlock in the 28th minute when Nathan Modest and Luke Aldrich combined to set up Aldrich for a
calm finish.
Liversedge responded just four minutes later, with Jack Stockdill scoring a well-struck rebound after a block from Connor Cutts.
The second half saw Sheffield defend resolutely, dealing with Liversedge’s pressure while creating chances of their own. Luke Aldrich tested Hadi with a powerful shot, and Luke Mangham couldn’t convert the rebound.
The save of the game came midway through the second half when Hadi acrobatically tipped Joe West’s fierce shot over the bar.
The winning moment arrived in the 77th minute, when substitute Michael Borja Sánchez crossed for Brogan, who smashed a stunning shot into the top corner to secure the win.
Though Sheffield remains at the bottom of the table, this performance, alongside recent improvements, offers hope that they can still avoid the drop.
Graham Abercrombie's Women's team booked a Cup Final date with Rotherham United in May, as they came from behind to win a thriller on Sunday, beating Leicester's River City 3-2 on a sunny spring afternoon in Braunstone.
Club got away to the worst possible start as they went behind inside the first minute, the Sheffield defence misjudging the wind and the bounce, allowing Trinae Edwards to take on the ball and slam home a close range shot to give the hosts a shock 1-0 lead.
On 18 minutes Sheffield drew level, Eden Hinchliffe finding space on the left to slide a ball behind the back four, with the prolific Stacey Buxton lobbing the ball over the advancing Zakhari Turner and into the net.
The visitors started to press their lower division opponents, but were undone once again through the middle, this time Dulcibella Binnswas the one that showed pace and strength to hold off the defence before placing the ball past Leah Kellogg. With the advantage of a stiff breeze in the second period, Club came out strongest and were level inside four minutes, Moriah McIntosh recycling the ball into the middle for Buxton to stretch a leg and poke the ball over the keeper.
The game was on a knife's edge, but on 66 minutes Sheffield took the lead for the first time after the impressive Katie McLoughlin chipped in a deep cross, with Buxton getting there ahead of everyone to head home her hat-trick.
Club were able to close the game out without any further panic, spending the rest of the match pinning their opponents in their own half, to wrap up a hard fought but well deserved victory.
Sheffield FC now face local rivals Rotherham United on May 12th in the League Cup Final, kicking off at 3:00pm at Arnold Town's Eagle Valley ground on the East Midlands League Finals Day, with SJR Worksop facing Mansfield Town in the preceding game in the League Plate Final.
Sheffield FC’s Development side finished their inaugural season in the North Midlands League with a disappointing loss, once again falling victim to a late goal, in a 3-2 defeat at home to Handsworth on Thursday.
The away side had an early opportunity to take the lead, as Rion Arbouin put in an inch perfect cross, only to see Harrison Marvin Volley wide. Club took the lead on 12 minutes with a clinical move, Finlay Staniland putting the ball into Harrison Lightning in the box, who fed onto Carter Tingle who dispatched with ease.
Handsworth levelled on 29 minutes with Arbouin the tormentor once again, providing the assist for Jay-Jay Taylor, who steamed in at the back post to make it 1-1.
The Ambers took the lead just before the break, Arbouin sending the ball into the middle, with big Harley Battison getting in front of keeper Pat Warrington, to nod home and 2-1.
Sheffield came out in the second half the stronger, with substitute Blake Freeman causing problems for the visitors, and it was the winger who levelled matters just six minutes after his introduction.
A harmless looking free-kick just inside the Handsworth half was sent in deep by skipper Sonny Bennett, the ball was half cleared, but Freeman was there to volley home from just inside the box.
It looked like it was going to be a fourth successive draw for Sheffield, however in injury time Nathan Metcalfe nipped in between some hesitant defending, stabbing the ball home to give all three points.
The game ended on a sour note in the dying seconds, Carter Tingle reacting to anoff-the-ball incident by swinging a boot at an opponent, with referee Tom Barney brandishing a red card.
