2010–11 Watford F.C. season
Watford Football Club (also known simply as Watford, or as The Hornets) is an English association football club from the town of Watford, in Hertfordshire. The 2010–11 English football season officially began on 1 July 2010, and ended on 30 June 2011, although Watford only played competitive fixtures between August and May. The team competed in the Football League Championship for the fourth consecutive season, following relegation from the Premier League in 2006–07. The club chairman was Graham Taylor, who as a manager took Watford from the Fourth Division to the top division of English football. Their manager was Malky Mackay, and their captain was central midfielder John Eustace.


2010–11 Watford F.C. season, Background
Watford sold several key players at the start of 2009–10, including 2008–09 Watford F.C. Player of the Season Tommy Smith, highest earner Jobi McAnuff and Hungary international striker Tamás Priskin. The team did well in their opening game, and were briefly in contention for a playoff position early in the season, but a series of postponements, poor away form and a run of one win in twelve games took Watford to within a point of relegation by April. A 3–0 home win in the penultimate game against Reading secured survival, and a 4–0 win at Coventry City on the last day of the season elevated Watford to a final position of 16th, as well as ending the team's six-month wait for an away win.


2010–11 Watford F.C. season, Background
As part of financial restructuring at the club, a number of players on higher wages whose contracts expired in June 2010 were allowed to leave the club on free transfers. These included captain and USA international Jay DeMerit, former Chelsea player Jon Harley and ex-Rotherham United striker Will Hoskins. Young goalkeeper Jonathan North and winger Billy Gibson were both also released. Manager Malky Mackay did, however, decide to retain the services of Liam Henderson and Dale Bennett after the duo triggered one-year extension options in their contracts.

2010–11 Watford F.C. season, Ownership and finance
As 2009–10 was the club's third consecutive season in the Championship, it stopped receiving parachute payments from the Premier League. Consequently, money received from the Premier League fell from £12,298,000 in 2008–09 to £993,000 in 2009–10. This was the primary contributor in Watford Leisure's total revenue dropping by 51.2% from £23.049 million to £11.258 million. A reduction in salary costs of £4.121 million and a profit of £4.111 million on player trading helped to mitigate the reduction in revenue. Nonetheless, the company's loss before taxation was £4.063 million, up from a loss of £1.987 million in the previous financial year.


2010–11 Watford F.C. season, Ownership and finance

Rhyl were denied the domestic licence for competing in this season's Welsh Premier League and were therefore relegated to the second tier. Welsh Premier League aspirants Llangefni Town (Cymru Alliance) and Afan Lido (Welsh Football League First Division) were also denied licences meaning that no team from the second tier was promoted. Since these three teams failed to obtain licences, the best three teams originally to be relegated, with all three obtaining their licences, were spared from relegation (Bala Town, Haverfordwest County and Newtown). Rhyl became the third Championship winning side to be relegated after Barry Town and Cwmbran Town. Rhyl had had the highest home attendances in the league for the last seven seasons.

2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season
Although this season was the club's 62nd at the top level of English football, it was the first time they had faced consecutive campaigns in the highest division since 1981–82.

2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season
The club survived for a second successive season after finishing 17th, one place above the relegation zone. Despite losing their final fixture, results elsewhere on the final day kept Wolves one point ahead of the bottom three teams.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
Preparing for their second consecutive season in the Premier League, the club made five new additions. Beside turning the loan of Adlène Guedioura into a permanent deal, the summer also saw the arrival of Belgian international defender Jelle Van Damme, and two players captured from relegated Hull City - Steven Mouyokolo and Stephen Hunt; the latter ending a pursuit that had begun during the previous transfer window. Their most expensive new addition was striker Steven Fletcher who equalled the club's record fee of £6.5 million in joining from another relegated side, Burnley. For a third successive season, England under-21 defender Michael Mancienne joined on loan from Chelsea.

2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
Competitive action began with a 2–1 victory over Stoke City, the first opening game Wolves had won since 1999. Two successive draws followed to push them up to fourth place, the highest position the club had occupied in the English football system since October 1979. However, after losing their unbeaten start with an injury time defeat at Fulham, the team tumbled down the table after a run of five defeats in their next six games.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
Three points were finally gained after defeating big-spending Manchester City in late October, but a run of four successive losses followed. Two late goals at home to Sunderland swung the game in Wolves' favour to keep them in touch with fellow strugglers Wigan and West Ham at the end of November. December brought two defeats, but also two much-needed victories - against local rivals Birmingham City, and a shock win at Anfield; their first since 1984.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
The January transfer window saw the exit of Jelle Van Damme, who returned to Belgium after failing to settle in England. Two young players arrived in permanent deals - winger Adam Hammill from Championship team Barnsley, and Scottish forward Leigh Griffiths. On the field, the year began with a loss at relegation rivals West Ham before an unexpected win at home to reigning champions Chelsea.

2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
The first Black Country derby in the top flight for 27 years arrived in February, after snow had caused the original December date to be postponed. The game ended all square, but only after West Bromwich Albion had canceled out loanee Jamie O'Hara's opener with a stoppage time equaliser. The next weekend saw Wolves record their biggest victory of the Premier League era, as they thumped Blackpool 4–0 to lift themselves out of the relegation zone for the first time since September. Four more points then followed, after games with Tottenham and Aston Villa.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
April brought the news that striker Kevin Doyle had suffered ligament damage while on international duty with the Republic of Ireland and would struggle to feature again during the season. As manager Mick McCarthy switched formations and line-ups to try to replace Doyle as the spearhead of a 4–5–1 formation, the team endured a run of just two points from a possible 15. With three games remaining the team remained in the drop zone, but in touch with a number of other clubs. The renewed goalscoring form of Steven Fletcher, helped yield two successive 3–1 victories that clawed the team out of the relegation zone before the final day.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
The final day of the 2010–11 season featured one of the tightest ever relegation battles. At the start of the day, six teams had still not assured their safety - with one, West Ham, already condemned to relegation. The remaining two places could potentially be filled by Wolves, Blackburn, Birmingham, Blackpool or Wigan. Wolves faced Blackburn at Molineux in the final game to feature the North Bank stand that had stood since 1992.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review
A dismal first half performance left the home side 0–3 down at the half time interval, meaning they occupied a relegation place. Despite moving up to 17th after Birmingham fell behind at Tottenham early in the second half, two key goals in the same minute sunk Wolves back into the mire as Birmingham equalised, and Wigan took the lead in their game at Stoke. With just three minutes remaining at Molineux, a goal by Stephen Hunt reduced the deficit to 2–3, meaning Wolves were safe by virtue of goals scored (having tied Birmingham on points and goal difference). An injury time goal by Tottenham then ended all doubt and sent Birmingham down, along with Blackpool who had eventually lost at champions Manchester United despite having at one point led.


2010–11 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season, Season review

2010–11 Ystalyfera RFC season
The season started with a change of coach (Gareth James) and a change of captain (Arwel Williams). Appointed vice captain was Mathew Scott. A level of ‘expectancy’ thus ensued and with a start of two competitive friendlies both at home, the league began in earnest with a traditionally unlucky fixture for the ‘Fera away at Cwmavon. Past history meant for nothing however and a well organised and structured performance ended in a fine 29–19 win.


2010–11 Ystalyfera RFC season
A repeat showing a week later at home to Brynamman and a 26–6 win, led to a position of a little over-confidence, ‘Fera narrowly exiting the Swansea Valley Cup in the 1st Round three days later away to Morriston. Back on track with a determined and physical victory at Bryncoch 25–15, the next home game was again against a traditional ‘bogey’ side Kenfig Hill. This was a typical ‘old style’ West Wales affair with yellow and red cards for both sides, Ystalyfera losing 11–29 after keeping in touch with the visitors for a greater part of the game.


2010–11 Ystalyfera RFC season
A return to Morriston for a league fixture saw a much better controlled performance with a 20–15 win, and a further win at Pencoed made it four continuous league away victories. The Pencoed win was the first in the season where Ystalyfera out-played their opponents in every area of the game, the hosts being unable to seek any avenue to secure a fight back. This repeated itself against Nantyffyllon home and self-confidence was building amongst the side. Then came Aberavon Green Stars away. In this game and in the subsequent losses home to Glynneath and away at Seven Sisters, the effort put in by individual players was noticeable, but the co-ordinated team tactics were missing and a struggle against well organised opponents ensued.


2010–11 Ystalyfera RFC season
A five-week absence of any rugby allowed an opportunity to re-group and indeed the 23–11 victory at Brynamman in January was much like a fresh start to the season. The Welsh Plate 2nd Round tie at home to Glynneath was a well-contested affair, the ‘Fera missing out in extra time but playing a high standard of open rugby. The next five games were outstanding with a run of victories which established Ystalyfera as top four contenders in the league.


2010–11 Ystalyfera RFC season
Each match ‘grew’ out of its predecessor, and the teamwork with notable individual performances, brought the side through the West Wales Bowl Qualifiers – A Semi-Final against then top Division 3 West side Mumbles being earned. Those supporters who witnessed the 29–17 victory mid-week at Morriston, were blessed to see an exceptional and complete pulverisation of a Mumbles side who began as favourites and a reputation for fast open rugby with a talented set of backs. The match started as per the formbook with three quick tries for Mumbles in 10 minutes.
