Since its launch, in the summer of 2007, the Vice-Presidents’ Club has become an important source of early-season income for Chorley Football Club. Altogether, more than £2,300 has been donated by supporters, friends and local business people to the club. 

Following the appointment of Garry Flitcroft as team manager, and the welcome return of Chorley Group as the club’s main sponsor, there is a feeling of optimism and expectation at Chorley Football Club and we hope that the 2010-11 season will see the return of the ‘glory days’ to Victory Park.

CHORLEY Football Club is asking its supporters to shop online at buy.at/chorleyfc and help raise money at no extra cost for The Magpies.

Over 100 retailers are accessible through the webshop, including BT, Marks & Spencer, Waterstones and Next. Many retailers provide exclusive offers to the webshop, such as discounts or offering free delivery to the customer, providing more reasons for supporters to buy products through the webshop.

The webshop is straightforward to use and no technical knowledge is required. A webshop can be opened in minutes, simply fill in a form at www.buy.at and groups can fund raise with help from retailers such as BT Broadband who offer up to £30 commission for each broadband product purchased through the webshop.

Ken Wright, Chairman of Chorley FC says: "The webshop facility is such a simple but effective idea. We receive a commission on each purchase you make. Donating to our organisation couldn't be easier!"

VICTORY PARK was named by the club in 1920 to commemorate the end of the First World War.

Prior to 1920 the club have played at three other venues.  The original home of the Magpies was in the town centre, on Dole Lane, near where the Chorley Little Theatre now stands.

In 1901 the club moved to Rangletts Recreation Ground, which is situated next to Victory Park (top of the image above) before moving again in 1905 to St Georges Park, the then home of the now long-defunct Chorley St Georges FC.

The final move came when the club purchased the land of the old ash tip next to Rangletts in 1919 for the princely sum of £868.  After some preparation work on the site the ground was opened in 1920.

Disaster struck the club in November 1945 when the wooden main stand was destroyed by fire shortly after a crowd of over 4,000 had watched the Magpies beat Football League club Accrington Stanley in the first leg of an FA Cup first-round tie.

The record attendance at the ground was set on November 15th 1923, when Darwen visited for an FA Cup tie - 9,679 turned up to attend the game.

In the summer of 2010 leading motor dealership The Chorley Group signed a deal to become the main club sponsor for the 2010/11 season, with the ground being renamed The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium.

The Chorley Group, which has its headquarters in Chorley and other outlets in Preston, Wigan, Burnley and Blackpool, previously enjoyed a successful two-year association with the club between 2007 and 2009 when the ground was renamed The Chorley Nissan Victory Park Stadium.
