Today’s visitors...Hengrove Hengrove Athletic F.C was formed in 1948 from players who were demobbed from National Service. As a footnote, there is also wartime history to the club colours of green and white. With the rationing and many shortages, football shirts were virtually unobtainable so all of the members of Hengrove Athletic F.C donated an ordinary white shirt and a mother of one of the players kindly dyed them green in the bath at her Knowle home. The colour green had no symbolic meaning. It was the only colour available at the time! The founding fathers of the club then agreed to retain these colours. A successful application was made to join the Bristol and Suburban League and they were placed in Division 3 for the start of 1948-49 season. A Reserve XI was then established in 1950 and in the same year Hengrove Hall was rented to hold club meetings and the social gatherings. The club continued to expand and the ‘A’ XI started in 1953, followed by the 30plus XI in 1959. These four football teams made the club the largest in the Bristol and Suburban League at the time – after just eleven years. A ‘B’ XI replaced the 30 plus in 1962. The long search for a ground came to fruition on Sunday 7 June 1964 when Norton Lane was officially opened and Hengrove Athletic F.C took up residence. The first XI was accepted by the Somerset Senior League for the 1974-75 season, where they remained until 2005-2006 when they were runaway, unbeaten, Premier Division Champions and joined the Western League for the start of the 2006-07 season. Recent Times Our floodlights and stand were installed at the ground in 2007-2008 to achieve the necessary ground grading of the Western League. The EWW Stand was installed at the ground in 20122013 to enter the FA Cup and future possible promotions. The first XI finished runners-up in Western League Division One in 2012-2013, achieving promotion to the Premier Division for the first time. They then lifted the Les Phillips League Cup in 2015-2016 before winning promotion to the Premier Division again in 2016/17. The following season, the club finished ninth in the table, their highest position ever, and also the highest placed Bristol team at this level, before being relegated in season 2018/19. Manager Jamie Hillman returned to the club in the summer of 2019 but with both seasons remaining unfinished, has yet to complete a full campaign. Jamie has added to the management team in the shape of Jon Berry, Ian Jones and Mike Stone with Pete Stenner in the physio role. This season, the club have launched a new under-18’s team that play in the Bristol U18 Football Combination, In addition, Hengrove also host local side Bristol Spartak as well as several St Aldhelm’s junior teams. In July 2016, the attendance record for the ground was smashed when 1,693 saw the Grove host Bristol City in the annual BCFC Community Trust match. The club have also built up an impressive reputation as a great host for local youth cup finals and League Cup finals in recent years. Hengrove will celebrate their 75th anniversary in 2023 and has recently embarked on a project called “Hengrove 75” to mark the event.
