CHORLEY FC
Victory Park
HOME FOR OVER 100 YEARS
Victory Park is named after the outcome of World War One, with work beginning on the ground (an old ash tip) in 1919 and the Club moving in a year later after buying the land for £868.
Prior to 1920 the club played at three other venues; Dole Lane, Rangletts Recreation Ground and St Georges Park (for 15 years from 1905), the home of the now defunct Chorley St Georges FC.
The ground’s record attendance was set in 1923 when 9,000+ crammed in to witness an FA Cup tie between the Magpies and Darwen. A crowd of over 4,000 watched a FA Cup match against Accrington in 1945, shortly before the then wooden main stand was destroyed by fire.
Between 2015-2019 over 3,500 fans have packed into our 100-year-old home to watch the Magpies face off against Guiseley (playoffs), Altrincham (playoffs), Spennymoor (playoffs), Fleetwood (FA Cup) & Doncaster (FA Cup).
