Club History

Wisbech Town FC

ESTABLISHED when local clubs merged in 1920, Wisbech Town FC began playing at a series of grounds around the town, eventually settling at a former orchard in Walsoken.

Given the name Fenland Park, this would become the home of Wisbech football for the next 61 years. The club netted their record attendance here, when more than 8,000 people flocked into the ground in 1957 to watch them take on local rivals Peterborough United.

In 2008 the club left Fenland Park and began playing at Outwell Swift's Nest ground after installing floodlights and terracing. But this was only temporary and the Fenmen moved into their brand new home, the Tom Wood’s Beer Fenland Stadium, in August - beating St Andrews 5-0 in an FA Cup preliminary round. Tommy Treacher had the honour of scoring the first goal at the ground.

In 2011, the club renamed their stadium to Elgood's Fenland Stadium. They also won their first trophy for 16 years in May, when they beat Wroxham 1-0 to win the Ridgeons League Challenge Cup.

The club are one of the best supported teams in the Ridgeons Premier League.
