Non league club Haywards Heath Town rename their stadium after the NHS to show their support towards the staff or should we say heroes.
The Isthmian League South East Division side from West Sussex will that the Hanbury Park ground will be renamed ‘THE THANK YOU NHS STADIUM’ for the 2020/21 season.
A club statement added: “This reflects the gratitude of everyone associated with the club of the hard work by all NHS staff during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
A club spokesperson said that while the club were continuing to support local schools and key workers, it was felt that renaming the ground was the best show of thanks to all NHS staff.
“While the Premier League clubs and players can have the ability to show with grander gestures how grateful they are to the NHS, Haywards Heath Town FC felt this was an appropriate way for us to do so,” said the club.
“When the new season starts, we will be showing our appreciation to all the key workers whose hard work during this crisis should not be forgotten.”
