CLUB HISTORY Abbey Hulton United Football Club was formed 73 years ago in 1947, making it one of the oldest formed clubs still playing Saturday football in North Staffordshire.

During its very early days the club played on Council land in the Abbey Hulton area.

It continued to use this facility for the first 15 years, despite the fact that the changing facilities were more than a mile away from the actual pitch.

In 1962 it was decided that the team should move to the Parks facility at Bucknall Park which was complete with its own changing rooms and showers adjacent to the pitch. What a luxury.

The team continued to use Bucknall Park for another 23 years, until 1985.

During the period from 1947 to 1985 the team played in many local junior leagues such as: • The Longton League • Fenton and District League • Burslem and Tunstall League • Newcastle and District League They graced all the above leagues with great distinction.

Over the years the club became more financially stable and grew in ambition. Finally in 1985 they acquired a piece of land at Birches Head Road on which it was able to obtain a 99 year lease. This is the clubs current address. Immediately, a clubhouse was built containing a bar and changing rooms for both teams and officials. At the same time an outside 5 a-side football facility was built, complete with floodlights.

Having moved to this new facility the club opted to join the North Staffs Alliance League. It completed in this leauge before seeking election to one of the top leagues in the area, The Staffs County League (North), in 1987. The team played in this league and finally had a momentous season in 1997-1998 by winning the league, the cup and also the fair play award all in one season. Having achieved this feat the club applied to join what is the top junior league in North Staffordshire, the Staffordshire County Senior League. In 2017 Abbey Hulton United won the Staffordshire County Senior Premier League Championship and were promoted to the North West County Football League.

STAFFORD TOWN FC @StaffordTown1st

Gordon Evans formed what was then Stafford F.C. in 1976. The Club played at Burton Manor Sports & Social Club in the old Staffs County League South. The Club moved into the Midland Combination Div. 2 in the 1977/78 season, and won the league the following year, being denied promotion to Div.1 because they were a nursery side for Stafford Rangers.

The Club moved to the Staffs County League North in 1981/82 and changed its name to Stafford Town. They won the Bourne Sports Trophy and Staffs Vase in 1984, and shortly afterwards they went into the Staffs Senior League. After losing the Staffs Vase Final in 1988 the team moved from Burton Manor to Stafford Cricket Club in 1990. Then, in the early 90’s Stafford Town merged with the highly successful Sunday League team MSHD who had just won the Midland Sunday Cup. In 1991/92 they just missed out on the Staffs Senior League, despite losing only 2 games all season.

After finishing 3rd in the same league the following season, they were accepted into the West Midland League playing at Rowley Park Stadium. In their 1st season they secured the Championship and in order to gain promotion, they had to move to Marston Road, the home of Stafford Rangers. During the 90’s Allan Somerville took over the reins. The 1999/2000 season was without doubt Town’s most successful. The Club won West Midland League Premier Division and were promoted to the Midland Football Alliance; they were also runners-up in the Staffs FA Vase and the League Cup. Town’s first season in the MFA saw them have a superb FA Cup run beating both Paget Rangers from the Southern League Div.1 and Moor Green from the Southern League Premier Division.

They then drew Harrow Borough in the 3rd qualifying round, and despite drawing away at Harrow Borough, they lost 3-1 in the replay at Marston Road. Following a disastrous season in 2003/04, Gordon Evans returned to the Club as chairman. At the end of that season the Club decided to leave Marston Road, move back to Rowley Park, and drop down into the West Midland League Div.1 to regroup. Steve Dockerty and Calvin Bailey were then appointed and stayed with the Club until the end of 2011/12 Season.2005/06 saw the formation of Stafford Town Ladies. In 2006 the Club became a Charter Standard Community Club. The Club now provides football for everyone in the community and has teams for men, women, boys girls and adults and children with special need, It has over 30 teams in total.

For the 2009/10 season the team started at Rowley Park Stadium, playing in Division 1 of the West Midland League, but moved to its own ground Evans Park behind the Cricket Club on Riverway, playing the 1st match on 6th March 2010, gaining promotion to the Premier Division and losing in the final of the Hunt Cup. The 2012/13 season saw the team transfer to the Midland Football Combination and the arrival of the new management team headed by Adam Cunningham and the return to the Club of Calvin Bailey as General Manager. In 2013 the Club were presented with The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. In 2013/14 the team finished 8th and won the Les James Challenge Cup at Walsall’s Banks’ Stadium.

STAFFORD TOWN FC @StaffordTown1st

In 2016 Adam Cunningham left after a disappointing 18th place finish and Dave Downing was appointed as First Team Manager. Dave Downing resigned in January 2018 and Jake Robinson took over the team with Calvin Bailey. At the end of a difficult season we found ourselves relegated back to the Staffordshire County Senior League by the FA Leagues Committee.

Gordon Evans received the British Empire Medal for services to football in Stafford in the New Years Honours list. At the end of the 2018-2019 season Gordon decided to step down from the Chairman's role and concentrate on family life and handed over the role to Paul Beedell. Promotion back to the Midland League was achieved in 2019 as well as winning the League Cup. At the end of the curtailed 2019/20 season Dom Heath and Steve Barrow returned to the Club as joint Managers as we look forward to the 2020/21 Season.

Following another curtailed season we were laterally moved into the North West Counties Football League Division One South following the Football Association’s restructuring for 2021/22 and we are looking forward to the new challenge.
