The Bluebirds Bootroom initiative was launched to provide users of our 3G playing surface with spares should their boots be unsuitable or if they have forgotten their pair.

We are welcoming donations of old or unused football boots (preferably moulded studs), which will be cleaned and stored at the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium to provide a back-up for participants using the 3G pitch.

The Bluebirds Bootroom will support the upkeep of the new playing surface and increase the safety of all pitch users, along with providing an opportunity to swap boots. We hope this will be beneficial when boots become too small or unused.

Instead of paying potentially astronomical prices for a new pair and simply throwing the old ones away, you will be able to donate the outgrown or no longer used footwear, and take home a more suitable pair. We also hope this will support the community at expensive times of the year, such as Christmas and birthdays.

Should you be interested in donating boots to the football club, please email Community Manager, Harry Thomas, on h.thomas@hcafc1899.football or message us on any of our social media platforms, and we will arrange a suitable drop-off date and time!
