Eccleshall Football Club

GROUND DEVELOPEMENT AT ECCLESHALL FOOTBALL CLUB

Progress as been slow but but the club have developed it's own ground from humble beginnings and have always developed within it's budget.  

In 1981 after much hard fund raising and with the help of grants and a loan a four acre field was purchased at Pershall. In the same year the first team moved into the Premier Division. Work began converting it into a football ground.

In 1982 a building was purchased from British Telecom and with lots of hard work during that and the following year on the building, car park and the pitch, the ground was ready. The ground was christened Pershall Park.

In 1983 a small covered area was put up commonly known as ‘The Shed’.
