๐จ โHOW THE FU*K DID YOU GET UP EVERY MORNING AFTER LOSING YOUR DAD?โ
People ask me this all the time.
โHow did you carry on?โ
โHow did you keep going?โ
โHow did you find the strength to get out of bed?โ
The truth?
I DIDNโT HAVE THE ANSWERS.
I hit rock bottom.
I hated life. I didnโt like myself. I wasnโt happy. I couldnโt see a way forward, and there were days when getting out of bed felt like the hardest thing in the world.
But do you know what changed things?
I ASKED FOR HELP.
I spoke to a counsellor. I accepted support. I started changing the way I thought.
And then I read my dadโs final letter.
And something clicked.
You know what, Dad? Youโre right.
Life is for living.
So I started looking in the mirror differently.
I stopped trying to please everybody else and started asking myself one simple question:
โAm I proud of the person looking back at me?โ
Because you cannot live your life constantly worrying about what everyone else thinks.
Be yourself.
Take chances.
Do the things that make you happy.
Believe in yourself.
And NEVER let somebody else convince you that youโre not capable of achieving something.
Because anything is possible.
Weโre not here forever.
Tomorrow isnโt guaranteed.
But today?
IโM HERE.
And every morning I wake up, Iโm grateful for another day.
So Iโm going to make the most of it.
Iโm going to make the choices that serve ME.
Iโm going to take chances.
Iโm going to chase happiness.
Iโm going to believe in myself.
And most importantlyโฆ
IโM NOT GIVING UP.
And neither should you.
Because thereโs one thing Iโve learned:
YOU CANโT FAIL UNTIL YOU STOP TRYING. โค๏ธ
If youโre at rock bottom right now, please remember thisโฆ
You donโt have to figure it all out on your own. Ask for help. Talk to someone. Keep going.
Your story isnโt over yet. โค๏ธ

It has to be won tonight, whether itโs in the ninety, ET or penalties, someone will be in the draw for the next round and someone wonโt.
Letโs get behind the lads and give us every possibility of doing so.

Itโs Monday, which means itโs the week in where history can be created for the club.
A win against our opponents @golcarunitedafc would see Horbury through to the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup for the first time.

In some respects, itโs the perfect fixture for Horbury. Golcar have arguably the best fan base in the league which should mean a higher than usual away following. The dream is to break the 500 mark for this one. There is no bigger game on paper for Horbury this season as well. The occasion should hopefully attract a bumper crowd.
Both sides have yet to taste defeat since the season began. Whilst itโs only been a week and three games apiece, both will be happy with their respective starts.
The club are optimistic on the potential availability of those who have been kept out of the first three squads due to injury, which is a huge boost.
Michael Eden and @Grassrootgamez are once again down to capture the good, the bad and the ugly. The best two in the business at what they do and weโre lucky they offer their services to us most weeks.
A reminder that season tickets arenโt included this one and is payable for all. However, show your gold patron card and youโll receive 50% off.
Weโll also get some hard copies of programmes for this one.
A big thanks to @mjllawltd for sponsoring our cup games for the season.
Letโs spread the word and get behind the lads.

Unfortunately we have been let down by the bouncy castle and ice cream company today, apologies. Weโll ensure weโve got that in place for our next home game; FA Cup day.
@Grassrootgamez and Michael Eden Photos in the house ensuring the best moments of this one are captured.
Thank you to todayโs sponsor - Affordable Autos.
As requested by the Hirstโs, donations to the โKirkwood Hospitalโ are being taken at the game this afternoon. A fantastic charity at the heart of their family.
If any of the HTFC Juniors can help today to be the ball boys, that would be very much appreciated.
Letโs get behind the lads, hopefully pick up three points and give the best tribute to Malcy that he deserves. ๐ป
See you all in a few hours. โค๏ธ

The club are terribly sad to announce the passing of without doubt the #1 fan at Horbury Town, our Malcy after a short but hard fought battle with illness.
Malcy was everything that Horbury stands for - passionate, encouraging, family, but mostly importantly, heart. He leaves a huge hole in the heart of the club and will be dearly missed.
Rarely missing a game - even back to the early West Yorkshire days when crowds didnโt even surpass ten. Him and Kath would always make every effort to be there. His positivity in the toughest times at the club speak volumes of the man he was.
Quite hard to put into words just how well thought of he was by everyone at the club, players past and present too.
As a mark of respect, there will be a minutes applause of Saturdayโs game against Parkgate for everyone to pay their respects. There will also be a donation box at the game for the chosen charity of the family.
Letโs pack the crowd out, get behind the team - just like Malc did and come together for one of lifeโs best.

A goalkeepers worst nightmare when Horbury have a free kick in a dangerous position, quite possibly the best striker of a ball the club has ever seen.
Jagsโ ability to score from almost anywhere is a huge asset to Horbury Town and weโre so, so confident weโll see him at his best in the 26/27 season after an injury free campaign.
His experience of these leagues and the ability to be influential in an already strong dressing room, is quality you need in your side.
Joe is sponsored by โThe Bay Horse, The Great Heck. Thanks to the Jagger family for your support of the club.

A huge thanks to @R1_Rovers coming to the rescue at short notice to ensure Mondayโs friendly goes ahead.
A different looking squad, with a couple more trialists involved will be trying to impress. Thursdayโs squad all put in a shift and set the standards for the rest.
ยฃ4 entry for everyone. U16s free with a full paying adult as always.
Merchandise stall is open once again should you wish to buy anything, with QR codes to club shops also available.

The first of six pre season friendlies takes place on Thursday at the home of football - Pulse Hire Ltd stadium.
@Horbury_TownFC take on NCEL newcomers, @KinsleyBoysFC , 1945 KO.
The squad consists of six trialists and plenty of last yearโs squad whoโll all be looking to make an impression to ensure theyโre in the plans of manager Darren Barnes and his back room staff.
To make life easy, all games are priced at ยฃ4. U16s free with an accompanying adult. Cash and card accepted around the ground.
Weโve still got a few bits of merchandise if you wish to purchase them at the game. Head down to the pitch side cabin outdoor area if youโre in need of anything. QR codes also available too for anything we donโt have stock of.
Thanks to @mjllawltd for sponsoring our friendlies and cup package for the upcoming season as well. Brilliant to have you on board.
Weโre looking forward to welcoming you all back. See you tomorrow.

After 3,330 minutes of football in the 25/26 season, it comes down to the final 90.
Backed by what looks close to be three figures, the lads are guaranteed safety with one point this afternoon.
If Horbury fail to pick up any points, then safety would also be achieved should one of Thackley or Albion Sports also taste defeat, with Bottesford needing three points or else theyโll be the ones playing in the NCEL Division One next season.
Nothing will be left to chance however and maximum points this afternoon is the target. Those three points could see Horbury see finish as high as 13th.
The chance of a successful season will be decided come 5pm, get yourself to Westfield Lane this afternoon and back the reds.
Very limited social updates this afternoon, apologies.

Remarkably, four of our fantastic squad will be celebrating milestones tomorrow.
Fresh off the 231 bus a couple of years ago, Brad Swain will celebrate his 100th appearance along with the angriest man in football, Joel Feirn.
Sam Kyeremeh, whoโs been with us since the very beginning of our NCEL journey, makes his 150th appearance.
And last but certainly not least, our club captain, Luke Playford celebrates a tremendous 300th appearance for the club.
Not just four brilliant players, but four down to earth lads as well. Letโs hope the fixture is one that lives long in the memory for all the right reasons.

The club would like to offer our away supporters for Saturday free entry to our final league game away at Frickley.
Anybody travelling by coach will be paid in by free, as well as supporters who are making their own alternative arrangements**
Both Darren and Joe really appreciate everyone who has travelled with us this season and acknowledge that the number of points weโve accumulated on the road has not replicated in any sort of way to how incredible our support has been.
It really doesnโt go unnoticed and we hope this small gesture goes a little way in repaying that support.
Anybody not travelling by coach, please private message the club so we can work out the numbers and the costs associated.
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone whoโs supported us and weโll see you for one last time on Saturday.
**First come, first served.

The club noticed a post from โThe Recycle Yardโ in Ossett who are aiming to collect 1000 Easter eggs for Wakefield Street Kitchen.
For anyone attending our final home game, it would be absolutely fantastic if we could help a fantastic cause. We will be collecting them at the game and delivering them during the week.
With an increased attendance expected for @nonleaguedayuk, we can hopefully put a big dint in their target.
Spread the word.

The equation is very simple. 3 games, 3 wins. That is whatโs required for Horbury to mathematically ensure their status in the Premier Division.
First up, @RMFC1919 at the Pulse Hire Ltd stadium. Levels matching Tuesdayโs narrow defeat in terms of attitude, commitment and desire and Iโm sure Horbury wonโt be far wrong.
The lads and the club need your support now more than ever. The crowd at Sheffield was outstanding and we hope you left there with pride despite the defeat.
Any plans you have? Cancel. Back the boys, back the badge, back the town.
A huge thanks to Darren, Deb and Gwen for sponsoring this fixture. We hope you are our good luck charm for this.
Hopefully see you all around 230 on Saturday? Be loud.
UUUUUUUREDS.

Saturday sees Horbury Town welcome Pickering Town to the Pulse Hire Ltd stadium for the first time.
At this stage, no issues with the game. The pitch has held the rain from the last twenty four hours pretty well.
Hopefully the attendance will see us hit the 200 mark. We really need the backing of our fans as we look to move away from the drop.
Once again, thanks to LMK Plumbing for sponsoring the fixture.
See you all tomorrow โค๏ธ
