  WOMBWELL TOWN F.C.
Wombwell Recreation Ground
Since Wombwell Town Football Club were formed in 2018 a dedicated group of officials and volunteers from the local community have worked tirelessly to restore the football side of the ground, including the clubhouse, pitches and main stand. With various funding revenues kindly helping us financially the changes are beginning to make a difference to the ground which was originally built back in 1964.

Here is a visual log of the ongoing progress at the ground (latest update - 22nd December 2021).
The Clubhouse (Main Bar Area): What was once a dumping ground for unused equipment, floored by rotting carpet, surrounded by smashed & barred up windows, and old lighting has now been cleared, refitted and made useable for the visitors on a matchday. Fully licenced and with more improvements on the way this main bar area now brings a warm and friendly atmosphere back to the ground and will hopefully be used for people young and old for many years to come.

Latest Update: In December 2021 money raised through the Club Wellers membership was used to buy new chairs for the clubhouse to replace those that were 30+ years old and donated second hand ones.
The Main Stand: Once covered in graffiti with crumbling brickwork and covered in litter, the Main Stand has since been rebuilt, painted and tidied to make it the perfect vantage point for the match. 28 Seats were added in the summer of 2020 ​with the hope that more will be placed in one of the two large standing areas in the future.
The Dugouts: Opposite the main stand there are two newly built dugouts for players and management to use on a matchday. The old foundations of previous dugouts were used as the area was unused when the club formed in 2018.
Around the Ground: A lot of overgrown trees, brushes and grassland has been cut back or removed to make the ground look used once more. Another area of improvement was fixing and replacing the lighting around the ground. The floodlights have been overhauled so evening matches can take place and lighting around the outside of the clubhouse has also been added.
Fencing Around the Ground: In the summer of 2020 the old fencing from the Station Road end of the ground was replaced. The fencing now surrounds the entire ground, making it more secure.
Clubhouse Extension: In May 2022 work began on the extension to the clubhouse that will see brand new changing facilities, a first aid/physio room, laundry room and first floor sponsors/meeting lounge complete with viewing balcony overlooking the football pitch and go-kart track. Photos of the build can currently be found on the "In the Community" page.
