Hayes & Yeading United F.C. are an English football club based in Hayes in the London Borough of Hillingdon. They were formed in May 2007 following a merger of Hayes and Yeading.[1] They play at the old ground of Hayes F.C., Church Road.
Formed on 18 May 2007, the new club play with the motto "Porro Simul" on their badge. Translated from Latin, this means "forward together". The badge also features elements taken from the Middlesex crest and semblance of the colours from both the former sides.
They played their first season in the Conference South in 2007-08, as both former teams did the previous season, with a 13th place finish. In their second season, 2008-09, they finished 4th, securing a place in the play-offs. They beat Eastleigh 6-4 on aggregate in the semi-final, coming back from 4-2 down in the first leg.[2][3] In the play-off final they beat Hampton & Richmond 3-2 thanks to an opener from Scott Fitzgerald and a brace from Steven Gregory, securing them a place in the Conference National for the 2009-10 season.[4]
The 2009–10 season is the merged club's first at the highest level of non-league football. Hayes previously spent 6 years at this level before their relegation in 2002, while Yeading never competed at such a level.
