I stopped keeping this site up-to-date many years ago, so if you've ended up here I'm afraid there's nothing much of interest to see any more.

I made a Yeltzland app for iPhone/iPad and Android, which lets you read all about the Yeltz in one place.
You can also add the Yeltz fixture list into your calendar - instructions can be found here.

Even older than the original Yeltzland website, we wrote a HTFC fanzine between 1991 and 1994.
I've started scanning in the originals, and you can download the PDFs from the FYI home page.

Why are we called The Yeltz?
No one knows for sure, but here's an summary from the excellent Yeltzmen book that's the best explanation we have!

DMC Yeltz 0 Bilston 0
And another's gone. We could only draw 0-0 against Bilston in the League Cup 1st Round 2nd leg, so we're out 3-1 on aggregate. Oh dear.
News Story
FAC Yeltz 0 Northwich 2
It's all over. A 2-0 loss at home to Northwich is no disgrace, but it was another disappointing Yeltz performance. We had much of the play but never really looked like scoring, and Northwich fully deserved their victory.

Matt Clarke is sold to Kidderminster for a welcome £10,000 plus more following appearances. It's a shame to see him go, but that's a good deal for us.

FAC Redditch 0 Yeltz 3
Our epic cup run staggers on with a 3-0 victory over Redditch in the replay. Goals from Bradley, Crisp and Piearce means we'll play Northwich in the 4th Qualifying Round tie, the farthest we've been for several years.
News Story

Another disappointing away performance, this time a 2-1 defeat at Merthyr - Yeltz goal from Bradder. Top of the table Forest Green drew 2-2 at second place Crawley in front of 2,163!
News Story
FAC Yeltz 4 Rothwell 1
The Yeltz march on in the FA Cup, winning the replay against Rothwell 4-1 after extra time. It was 1-1 at full-time, Halesowen having taken the lead through Kevin Harrison. However Rothwell had their goalie sent off, and by the end were down to 9 men. Goals from Gardiner, Piearce and Yates means we go through to a home tie against Redditch.
