There was much excitement among Hendon FC fans and in non-league football circles last week after the Greens' official website announced the Isthmian League Premier Division club was to play at the new Wembley Stadium next season.

Making the ground-breaking announcement, the website included quotes from an anonymous Brent councillor, a Football Association spokes-man and Hendon manager Gary McCann, all saying how delighted they were that little old Hendon was to play at the Home of Football.

McCann was quoted as saying: "This is fantastic news for the club. It will make quite a change to play at Wembley Stadium after all these years at Claremont Road.

"We all know that the facilities here are not the best, and attracting players has been a problem on occasions."

The unnamed Brent councillor said Hendon was the perfect choice' for the new Wembley.

But before anybody gets too excited, the big news' was announced on April 1 - April Fool's Day.

Bearing in mind Hendon, who had lost 2-0 in the league the day before, lie just above the relegation places and have a dwindling fan-base, it is nice to see the club has still got a sense of humour.
