Irlam FC New Clubhouse

After over a year of planning, development and construction, Irlam FC’s new clubhouse has finally opened its doors to the public.
The official launch, held on 21st July saw our very own Neil McArthur cut the ribbon, along with Warren Dodd (Irlam FC Club Secretary) and Ron Parker (Irlam FC Chairman).

Representing one of our largest grants during the 2014/15 financial year, we were happy to club together with the Football Foundation to support the project, providing a £85,600 contribution.

The new clubhouse replaces their old building which was demolished after being deemed unfit for purpose and comes complete with modern changing rooms, social area and bar.

To complete the clubhouse facility, the car park was resurfaced with funding from Viridor and a contribution of £5119.90 from us.

This great new facility will become an asset to the club supporting its numerous teams and the raft of
supporters who attend games each week, as well as a great resource for the wider community. car park 2

“The completion of the new clubhouse is a fantastic achievement and we couldn’t have done it without the efforts of Hamilton Davies Trust. We now hope to push on and move forward on the pitch with us having this great new facility” Ron Parker, Irlam FC Chairman 

speech“Our largest and most significant project to date, the creation of a community clubhouse has been made possible by the help of HDT who provided the much needed match funding, alongside the Football Foundation. Words cannot do justice to the impact that HDT has had on us over the years, we have come on leaps and bounds because of their help!” Warren Dodd, Irlam FC Secretary

“We are so pleased with the outcome and it’s been a pleasure to work with both Warren Dodd and John Main throughout the project. They have worked really hard to bring this magnificent clubhouse into fruition and hopefully it will become the corner stone of the community for many years to come.” Tony Prescott, Hamilton Davies Trust Operations Manager
