DEVELOPMENT DUE TO KICK OFF
The area of land we will now have moving forward has changed however we will still secure the same amount of land on which to develop, which will now be situated between us and the NFA.
The allocated area will be made into pitches and the work is due to kick off this spring. Teams should be able to play on the new pitches by the end of the next season however we may be able to gain access and use the area for training purposes earlier than that and the new pitches will be in action by 2021.
Club Vice Chairman James Sharp said: “Receiving these lease documents and having everything finalised with the Duchy is a significant stage in the process of our developments of the club.
“It provides stability for the club, demonstrates commitment from the Duchy to a grass roots football club and we have long been seen as their flagship club. It also allows us now commercially go forward with the clubhouse build and secure the capital from corporations and the Football Foundation.
“This was not possible previously until we secured a lease that lasted over 25 years. It is a cause for celebration and allows us to take our
development plans for the club to the next stage. We will be going out and looking for investors so would urge anyone who would like to support the club to get in touch. We need to raise as much money as we can and would welcome investments big and small because we have to find a lot of the funding ourselves in conjunction with organisations like the Football Foundation.”
Sourcing support commercially is a key focus for the club currently and we are appealing for donations to support our build which will cost in the region of up to £800,000.
Once we secure the necessary funding we will stage a dinner and invite key benefactors and also plan to put up plaques commemorating donations to the club project at the new clubhouse once the build is complete.
You can also help us achieve our fundraising targets as the club committee will be discussing proposals to raise some of our fees with all the extra money going to the development project.
To make a donation contact James Sharp on 07428 707605 or email him at [email protected]
The club is delighted to announce we have now received the longer lease documents which are due to be signed and will mean the development works will get underway this year at the club.
We were inundated at our Christmas party which is held every year for our younger players.The party was full to capacity and the children enjoyed all the festive fun plus the visit from Father Christmas who handed out presents to everyone who attended.
There was music and games for the youngsters to enjoy at the party which was again held again at Higham Working Men’s Club.

Severe and wet weather conditions have hampered our opportunities to play so far this season and we know how important it is to focus on team bonding and morale. A lot of games and training has been affected and we continue to do our best to minimise the disruption by utilising the offsite training opportunities at the 3G pitch at The Ferrers School, which is another investment by the club to support its players.
Official Club sponsor Croyland Car Megastore has also stepped in to help fund some fun events for our players
Croyland booked an inflatable and flume party at Rushden Splash swimming pool.
Mark Swindells, General Manager at Croyland said: “With all the recent match cancellations due to poor weather we wanted to treat the teams to a pool party. We know how important teamwork is and seeing your teammates is a big part of that.”
There are plans to put on more events for players to enjoy.
