Hallen Football Club to fold after council closes ground
An amateur football club near Bristol says it will have to fold after being "evicted" from the ground it has used for more than 40 years.
Hallen Football Club, who play in the Toolstation Premier and have several junior teams, say Almondsbury Parish Council is closing The Hallen Centre, which is used by the whole community.
The council said it has provided support to the club, but the centre could not be made financially viable.
