Welcome to Chorley FC's official website

Here is the latest news from The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium...


CHORLEY FOOTBALL CLUB is a non-league club based in Lancashire that is steeped in history.

The Magpies were originally formed way back in 1875, but converted to the round ball game in 1883.  We have competed in various leagues throughout the clubs history, picking up silverware at regular intervals.

The club has tasted success in the FA Cup; defeating league sides Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1986 and Bury in 1990.  We have also reached the semi-finals of the FA Trophy; tantalisingly just one step away from Wembley, going out the to eventual winners!

The team currently play in the Evo-Stick League First Division North, and are one of the best supported teams in this very competitive competition.

During 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 most famous 'son' of Chorley is without doubt former England, Ipswich Town and Arsenal striker Paul Mariner, who started his career at Victory Park prior to being sold to Plymouth Argyle in 1973 for £20,000 - no a small sum of money in those days - the equivalent of about £180,000 in today's money allowing for inflation!

Many players have plied their trade with the Magpies before launching their football league careers; including Mickey Walsh (Blackpool & Everton), Graham Barrow (Wigan Athletic), Lee Trundle (Wrexham, Swansea City, Bristol City & Leeds United), Steve Jones (Crewe, Burnley, Walsall & Northern Ireland) & Kevin Ellison (Leicester City, Stockport, Hull City, Tranmere & Rotherham) to name just five.  While famous names have also appears at Chorley late in their careers such as Frank Worthington (Leicester City & England), Shaun Teale (Aston Villa) & current Vice-chairman Brian Pilkington (Burnley & England) plus Garry Flitcroft (Manchester City & Blackburn Rovers) is the current manager.
