Needham Market FC

Objective 2010/2011 Season

Needham Market Football Club is looking to increase its appeal to local businesses and residents. The club has been in existence for many years, the archives show that the club was officially formed in 1919 although records do indicate that games were played in the late 1890′s in the town. The football club will next season be playing at its highest ever level within football within the Ryman Division 1 North league having won the Ridgeons League and Cup last season, this success has been achieved with the support of many local people and businesses. Our focus for 2010/2011 is to grow our involvement with the local community and increase the number of regular attendees to the ground. The club has a record of raising large amounts for nominated charities, last year we worked with the following charities;

•    Breast Cancer (Wear it Pink);
•    Red Balloon Charity for bullied children;
•    Help for Heroes.

Already the club has arranged a Golf Day (August 6th) atHintlesham Hall Golf Club with a donation being made to the East Anglian Children’s Hospice (EACH) Treehouse Appeal, please see our website for all the details and how to join in. Our association with the young footballers in the area has been active for a number of years via the Needham Phoenix Youth Football Club, this will continue to be fostered and thereby establish a regular pipeline of talent coming through. We also recognise the need to make the club’s facilities available for a wider audience and one of the longer term aims is to install an “All weather” pitch on the Bloomfields site which can be used by other clubs and other sports. We believe that, in spite of the gloomy predictions by the government and the media for the UK economy over the next few years, the World Cup and a successful local football team will bring out the best in the local population and provide a positive impetus for us all.
